The total energy in a sphere containing an isotropic shear-free conducting heat fluid is studied in the frame of a spherically symmetric metric. Firstly, we examine the role played by the heat flux. Secondly, we point out the contribution to the energy by the Weyl tensor. We obtain different formulas for the total energy, and those formulas are shown to be equivalent. We derive the general solution for a conformally flat spacetime, and give an example for a nonconformally flat spacetime.

AbstractWe consider Maxwell-f(R) gravity and obtain an exact charged black hole solution with dynamic curvature in D-dimensions. Considering a spherically symmetric metric ansatz and without specifying the form of f(R) we find a general black hole solution in D-dimensions. This general black hole solution can reduce to the Reissner–Nordström (RN) black hole in D-dimensions in Einstein gravity and to the known charged black hole solutions with constant curvature in f(R) gravity. Restricting the parameters of the general solution we get polynomial solutions which reveal novel properties when compared to RN black holes. Specifically we study the solution in $$(3+1)$$ ( 3 + 1 ) -dimensions in which the form of f(R) can be solved explicitly giving a dynamic curvature and compare it with the RN black hole. We also carry out a detailed study of its thermodynamics.

In this paper, shear-free gravitational collapse with heat flux is discussed by considering higher dimensional spherically symmetric space–time as interior metric and higher dimensional Vaidya space–time as exterior metric. The effects of dissipation on collapse are investigated. A simple approximate higher dimensional conformally flat model is proposed that satisfies the junction conditions. Temperature profile of the proposed model is also calculated. It is concluded that dissipation decreases the collapsing rate and temperature profile of the suggested model.

We show that the well-known most general static and spherically symmetric exact solution to the Einstein-massless scalar equations given by Wyman is the same as one found by Janis, Newman and Winicour several years ago. We obtain the energy associated with this space–time and find that the total energy for the case of the purely scalar field is zero.

In this paper we present some new results about [Formula: see text]-dimensional pseudo-Z symmetric space-times. First we show that if the tensor Z satisfies the Codazzi condition then its rank is one, the space-time is a quasi-Einstein manifold, and the associated 1-form results to be null and recurrent. In the case in which such covector can be rescaled to a covariantly constant we obtain a Brinkmann-wave. Anyway the metric results to be a subclass of the Kundt metric. Next we investigate pseudo-Z symmetric space-times with harmonic conformal curvature tensor: a complete classification of such spaces is obtained. They are necessarily quasi-Einstein and represent a perfect fluid space-time in the case of time-like associated covector; in the case of null associated covector they represent a pure radiation field. Further if the associated covector is locally a gradient we get a Brinkmann-wave space-time for [Formula: see text] and a pp-wave space-time in [Formula: see text]. In all cases an algebraic classification for the Weyl tensor is provided for [Formula: see text] and higher dimensions. Then conformally flat pseudo-Z symmetric space-times are investigated. In the case of null associated covector the space-time reduces to a plane wave and results to be generalized quasi-Einstein. In the case of time-like associated covector we show that under the condition of divergence-free Weyl tensor the space-time admits a proper concircular vector that can be rescaled to a time like vector of concurrent form and is a conformal Killing vector. A recent result then shows that the metric is necessarily a generalized Robertson–Walker space-time. In particular we show that a conformally flat [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], space-time is conformal to the Robertson–Walker space-time.

The evolution of a causal bulk viscous cosmological fluid filled open conformally flat spacetime is considered. By means of appropriate transformations the equation describing the dynamics and evolution of the very early Universe can be reduced to a first order Abel type differential equation. In the case of a bulk viscosity coefficient proportional to the square root of the density, ξ~ρ1/2, an exact and two particular approximate solutions are obtained. The resulting cosmologies start from a singular state and generally have a noninflationary behavior, the deceleration parameter tending, in the large time limit, to zero. The thermodynamic consistency of the results is also checked.

The spherically symmetric thin shells are the nearest generalizations of the point-like particles. Moreover, they serve as the simple sources of the gravitational fields both in General Relativity and much more complex quadratic gravity theories. We are interested in the special and physically important case when all the quadratic in curvature tensor (Riemann tensor) and its contractions (Ricci tensor and scalar curvature) terms are present in the form of the square of Weyl tensor. By definition, the energy–momentum tensor of the thin shell is proportional to Diracs delta-function. We constructed the theory of the spherically symmetric thin shells for three types of gravitational theories with the shell: (1) General Relativity; (2) Pure conformal (Weyl) gravity where the gravitational part of the total Lagrangian is just the square of the Weyl tensor; (3) Weyl–Einstein gravity. The results are compared with these in General Relativity (Israel equations). We considered in detail the shells immersed in the vacuum. Some peculiar properties of such shells are found. In particular, for the traceless ([Formula: see text] massless) shell, it is shown that their dynamics cannot be derived from the matching conditions and, thus, is completely arbitrary. On the contrary, in the case of the Weyl–Einstein gravity, the trajectory of the same type of shell is completely restored even without knowledge of the outside solution.

Spherically Symmetric Metric

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.
