Spherically Symmetric Metric

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.

Spherically Symmetric Metric

Four parameter group of transformations containing rotations and time translations is consi[1]dered due to spherical symmetry and stationarity of the space-time metric. It is found that there exists such a quartet of Killing vector fields which constitute the Lie algebra of the transforma[1]tion group and in which space-like vectors are not orthogonal to the time-like one. The metric corresponding to the Lie algebra of Killing vectors is composed. It is shown that the metric is non-static.

Anisotropic Case

We investigate interior solutions for static spherically symmetric metric in the background of [Formula: see text] gravity. We use the technique of conformal Killing motions to solve the field equations with both isotropic and anisotropic matter distributions. These solutions are then used to obtain density, radial and tangential pressures for power-law [Formula: see text] model. For anisotropic case, we assume a linear equation-of-state and investigate solutions for the equation-of-state parameter [Formula: see text]. We check physical validity of the solutions through energy conditions and also examine its stability. Finally, we study equilibrium configuration using Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff equation.

AbstractIn this paper a scheme is developed for handling tensor partial differential equations having spherical symmetry. The basic technique is that of Gelfand and Shapiro ((2), §8) by which tensor fields defined on a sphere give rise to scalar fields defined on the rotation group. These fields may be expanded as series of functions, where,mis fixed and the matricesTl(g) form a 21+ 1 dimensional irreducible representation of.Spherically symmetric operations, such as covariant differentiation of tensors and the contraction of tensors with other spherically symmetric tensor fields, are shown to act in a particularly simple way on the terms of the series mentioned above: terms with givenl, nare transformed into others with the same values ofl, n. That this must be so follows from Schur's Lemma and the fact that for eachmandlthe functionsform a basis for an invariant subspace of functions onof dimension 2l+ 1 in which an irreducible representation ofacts. Explicit formulae for the results of such operations are presented.The results are used to show the existence of scalar potentials for tensors of all ranks and the results for tensors of the second rank are shown to be closely related to those recently obtained by Backus(1).This work is intended for application in geophysics and other fields where spherical symmetry plays an important role. Since workers in these fields may not be familiar with quantum theory, some matter in sections 2–5 has been included in spite of the fact that it is well known in the quantum theory of angular momentum.

We explore the problem of charged perfect fluid spherically symmetric gravitational collapse in f(R, T) gravity (R is Ricci scalar and T is the trace of energy–momentum tensor). We have taken the interior boundary of a star as spherically symmetric metric filled with the charged perfect fluid. In order to study charged perfect fluid collapse, we have investigated the exact solutions of the Maxwell–Einstein field equations solutions using the most simplified form for f(R, T) model f(R, T) = R + 2[Formula: see text]T, where [Formula: see text] is model parameter. This study involves the effects of charge as well as coupling parameter on collapse of a star. We studied the nature of trapped surfaces, apparent horizon and singularity structure in detail. It has been found that singularity is formed earlier than the apparent horizons, so the end state of gravitational collapse in this case is black hole.

Spherically Symmetric Metric

In this paper we suggest an approach to analyze the motion of a test particle in the spacetime of a global monopole within a f(R)-like modified gravity. The field equations are written in a simplified form in terms of [Formula: see text]. Since we are dealing with a spherically symmetric metric, we express F(R) as a function of the radial coordinate only, e.g., [Formula: see text]. So, the choice of a specific form for f(R) will be equivalent to adopt an Ansatz for [Formula: see text] . By choosing an explicit functional form for [Formula: see text], we obtain the weak field solutions for the metric tensor also compute the time-like geodesics and analyze the motion of a massive test particle. An interesting feature is an emerging attractive force exerted by the monopole on the particle.

Lorentzian Warped Product

In this paper we have sought solutions of the nonstatic spherically symmetric field equations that exhibit nonzero shear. The Lorentzian-warped product construction is used to present the spherically symmetric metric tensor in double-null coordinates. The field equations, kinematical quantities, and Riemann invariants are computed for a perfect-fluid stress-energy tensor. For a special observer, one of the field equations reduces to a form that admits wavelike solutions. Assuming a functional relationship between the metric coefficients, the remaining field equation becomes a second-order nonlinear differential equation that may be reduced as well.

Spherically Symmetric Metric

The unique spherically symmetric metric which has vanishing Weyl tensor, is asymptotically de-Sitter, and can model constant galactic rotation curves is presented. Two types of field equations are shown to have this metric as an exact solution. The first is Palatini varied scalar-tensor theory. The second is the low energy limit of string theory modified by inclusion of a contrived potential.

Spherically Symmetric Metric

The field equations in the neighbourhood of a particle for a spherically symmetric metric in the conformal theory of gravitation put forward by Hoyle & Narlikar are examined in detail. This metric is assumed to be of the usual form d s 2 = e v d t 2 —e λ d r 2 — r 2 (d θ 2 + sin 2 θ d ψ 2 ) where λ and v are functions of r only. Hoyle & Narlikar obtained a solution of the field equations under the assumption λ + v = 0. In this paper the case λ + v ǂ 0 is investigated, and it is shown that the only solution that satisfies all the boundary conditions is the special solution obtained by setting λ + v = 0. The significance of this result is discussed.
