Vacuum Solutions

We investigate the properties of static and axisymmetric vacuum solutions of Einstein equations which generalize the Schwarzschild spherically symmetric solution to include a quadrupole parameter. We test all the solutions with respect to elementary and asymptotic flatness and curvature regularity. Analysing their multipole structure, according to the relativistic invariant Geroch definition, we show that all of them are equivalent up to the level of the quadrupole. We conclude that the q -metric, a variant of the Zipoy–Voorhees metric, is the simplest generalization of the Schwarzschild metric, containing a quadrupole parameter.

Theory Of Gravitation

The predictions for the perihelion shift, the deflection of light, and the delay time of a light ray are calculated in the nonsymmetric theory of gravitation. An upper bound for the parameter l (that occurs as a constant of integration in the static, spherically symmetric solution of the field equations) is obtained for the sun for the experimental value of the perihelion shift of Mercury, yielding [Formula: see text]. The upper bound on [Formula: see text] obtained from the Viking spacecraft time-delay experiment is [Formula: see text]. For [Formula: see text], we find that the theory is consistent with the standard relativistic experiments for the solar system. The theory predicts that the perihelion of a satellite could reverse its direction of precession if it orbits close enough to the sun. The results for a highly eccentric satellite orbit are calculated in terms of the value [Formula: see text].

Bonnet Theorem

In this paper, we use a new asymptotically flat and spherically symmetric solution in the generalized Einstein-Cartan-Kibble-Sciama (ECKS) theory of gravity to study the weak gravitational lensing and its shadow cast. To this end, we first compute the weak deflection angle of generalized ECKS black hole using the Gauss–Bonnet theorem in plasma medium and in vacuum. Next by using the Newman-Janis algorithm without complexification, we derive the rotating generalized ECKS black hole and in the sequel study its shadow. Then, we discuss the effect of the ECKS parameter on the shadow of the black hole and weak deflection angle. In short, the goal of this paper is to give contribution to the ECKS theory and look for evidences to understand how the ECKS parameter effects the gravitational lensing.
