Abstract We equip an arbitrary vector bundle over a Riemannian manifold, endowed with a fiber metric and a compatible connection, with a spherically symmetric metric (cf. [4]), and westudy harmonicity of its sections firstly as smooth maps and then as critical points of the energy functional with variations through smooth sections.We also characterize vertically harmonic sections. Finally, we give some examples of special vector bundles, recovering in some situations some classical harmonicity results.

The motion of a test body made of electromagnetically interacting point particles, falling in the static spherically symmetric field of the Hermitian theory of gravitation is shown to not disagree with the Eötvös–Dicke–Braginsky experiments for the equivalence principle. The modified Maxwell equations are calculated in the isotropic static spherically symmetric metric, and the role of the equivalence principle in the new theory is discussed in detail.

We have calculated the total energy–momentum distribution associated with (n+2)-dimensional spherically symmetric model of the universe by using the Møller energy–momentum definition in general relativity (GR). We have found that components of Møller energy and momentum tensor for given spacetimes are different from zero. Also, we are able to get energy and momentum density of various well-known wormholes and black hole models by using the (n+2)-dimensional spherically symmetric metric. Also, our results have been discussed and compared with the results for four-dimensional spacetimes in literature.

We provide a comprehensive overview of metric-affine geometries with spherical symmetry, which may be used in order to solve the field equations for generic gravity theories which employ these geometries as their field variables. We discuss the most general class of such geometries, which we display both in the metric-Palatini formulation and in the tetrad/spin connection formulation, and show its characteristic properties: torsion, curvature and nonmetricity. We then use these properties to derive a classification of all possible subclasses of spherically symmetric metric-affine geometries, depending on which of the aforementioned quantities are vanishing or non-vanishing. We discuss both the cases of the pure rotation group SO ( 3 ) , which has been previously studied in the literature, and extend these previous results to the full orthogonal group O ( 3 ) , which also includes reflections. As an example for a potential physical application of the results we present here, we study circular orbits arising from autoparallel motion. Finally, we mention how these results can be extended to cosmological symmetry.

We have developed the anisotropic heat transport equation for rotating neutron stars. With a simple model of neutron star, we also model the propagation of heat pulses resulting from transient energy releases inside the star. Even in the slow rotation limit, the results with rotational effects involved could differ significantly from those obtained with a spherically symmetric metric in the timescale of the thermal afterglow.

Assuming the most general form of static spherically symmetric space-times, we search for the conformal vector fields in [Formula: see text] gravity by means of algebraic and direct integration approaches. In this study, there exist six cases which on account of further study yield conformal vector fields of dimension four, six and fifteen. During this study, we also recovered some well-known static spherically symmetric metrics announced in the current literature.
