XVII.—The Regraduation of Clocks in Spherically Symmetric Space-times of General Relativity.

SummaryThe changes in his description of events brought about by an arbitrary regraduation of an observer's clock are examined, taking the axioms of general relativity as fundamental. It is shown that regraduation does not imply a change from one Riemannian space-time to another but merely a coordinate transformation within space-time. A generalisation of the “dynamical time” of kinematical relativity is a by-product of the investigation.

In the present paper we study compact stars under the background of Einstein–Maxwell space–time, where the 4-dimensional spherically symmetric space–time of class 1 along with the Karmarkar condition has been adopted. The investigations, via the set of exact solutions, show several important results, such as (i) the value of density on the surface is finite; (ii) due to the presence of the electric field, the outer surface or the crust region can be considered to be made of electron cloud; (iii) the charge increases rapidly after crossing a certain cutoff region (r/R ≈ 0.3); and (iv) the avalanche of charge has a possible interaction with the particles that are away from the center. As the stellar structure supports all the physical tests performed on it, therefore the overall observation is that the model provides a physically viable and stable compact star.

AbstractIt is well known that classical electrodynamics can be described both as a field theory and as a theory of direct interparticle action. In the present paper it is shown that, provided certain general conditions are satisfied, fields of arbitrary spin have their counterparts in ‘direct particle fields’. This correspondence between the two formalisms is established in the Riemannian space-time used for general relativity.

In the Schwarzschild field due to a mass moving with velocity v → c0, where c0 is the speed of light in vacuum, the source-induced quantum fluctuation in the light cone exhibits consistency with the Aichelburg–Sexl solution while that in the metric dynamical variable does not. At the horizon, none of the fluctuations is proportional to anything finite. However, in the nonrelativistic limit (v → 0), known expressions follow.
