We argue that an arbitrary general relativistic static anisotropic fluid sphere, (static and spherically symmetric but with transverse pressure not equal to radial pressure), can nevertheless be successfully mimicked by suitable linear combinations of theoretically attractive and quite simple classical matter: a classical (charged) isotropic perfect fluid, a classical electromagnetic field and a classical (minimally coupled) scalar field. While the most general decomposition is not unique, a preferred minimal decomposition can be constructed that is unique. We show how the classical energy conditions for the anisotropic fluid sphere can be related to energy conditions for the isotropic perfect fluid, electromagnetic field, and scalar field components of the model. Furthermore, we show how this decomposition relates to the distribution of both electric charge density and scalar charge density throughout the model. The generalized TOV equation implies that the perfect fluid component in this model is automatically in internal equilibrium, with pressure forces, electric forces, and scalar forces balancing the gravitational pseudo-force. Consequently, we can build theoretically attractive matter models that can be used to mimic almost any static spherically symmetric spacetime.

The space-time containing a single spherically symmetric bubble is studied by using the distribution theory. The Einstein equations on the bubble wall are given explicitly in terms of the discontinuities of metric coefficients and their derivatives, The interaction of a bubble with surrounding gravitational and matter fields is also investigated by the “generalized” Bianchi identities. In particular, it is found that an electromagnetic field does not interact with any bubble, and is continuous across the bubble wall without reflecting or absorbing, while the interaction of a bubble produced with a scalar field or a perfect fluid is possible.

Solutions are found to field equations constructed from the Pauli, Bach and Gauss–Bonnet quadratic tensors to the Kasner and Kasner brane spacetimes in up to five dimensions. A double Kasner space is shown to have a vacuum solution. Brane solutions in which the bulk components of the Einstein tensor vanish are also looked at and for four-branes a solution similar to radiation Robertson–Walker spacetime is found. Matter trapping of a test scalar field and a test perfect fluid are investigated using energy conditions.

We study space–times having spherically symmetric anisotropic fluid with self-similarity of zeroth kind. We find a class of solutions to the Einstein field equations by assuming a shear-free metric and that the fluid moves along time-like geodesics. The energy conditions, and geometrical and physical properties of the solutions are studied and we find that it can be considered as representing an accelerating universe. At the beginning all the energy conditions were fulfilled but beyond a certain time (a maximum geometrical radius) none of them is satisfied, characterizing a transition from normal matter (dark matter, baryon matter and radiation) to dark energy.

This paper investigates the phenomenon of gravitational collapse of Lemaitre–Tolman–Bondi (LTB) model in the presence of Brans–Dicke (BD) scalar field with nonzero potential field. We find a class of solutions by taking perfect fluid as well as scalar field and check the validity of weak energy conditions. It turns out that two different types of singularities are formed in the presence of scalar field. We conclude that the end state of gravitational collapse turns out to be a black hole (BH) contrary to general relativity (GR).

In this paper the field equations of general relativity are solved to obtain an exact solution for a static anisotropic fluid sphere. The solution is free from singularity and satisfies the necessary physical requirements. The physical 3-space of the solution is pseudo-spheroidal. The solution is matched at the boundary with the Schwarzschild exterior solution. Numerical estimates of various physical parameters are briefly discussed.

We study the evolution of an anisotropic fluid with kinematic self-similarity of the second kind. We found a class of solution to the Einstein field equations by assuming an equation of state where the radial pressure of the fluid is proportional to its energy density (pr = ωρ) and that the fluid moves along time-like geodesics. The self-similarity requires ω = -1. The energy conditions, geometrical and physical properties of the solutions are studied. We have found that, depending on the self-similar parameter α, they may represent a black hole or a naked singularity.

We study spacetimes of spherically symmetric anisotropic fluid with homothetic self-similarity. We find a class of solutions to the Einstein field equations by assuming that the tangential pressure of the fluid is proportional to its radial one and that the fluid moves along time-like geodesics. The energy conditions, and geometrical and physical properties of these solutions are studied and found that some of them represent gravitational collapse of an anisotropic fluid.
