Interpreting a conformally flat pure radiation space - time
A physical interpretation is presented of the general class of conformally flat pure radiation metrics that has recently been identified by Edgar and Ludwig. It is shown that, at least in the weak field limit, successive wave surfaces can be represented as null (half) hyperplanes rolled around a two-dimensional null cone. In the impulsive limit, the solution reduces to a pp-wave whose direction...
متن کاملConformally flat metrics on 4-manifolds
We prove that for each closed smooth spin 4-manifold M there exists a closed smooth 4-manifold N such that M#N admits a conformally flat Riemannian metric.
متن کاملEinstein and Conformally Flat Critical Metrics of the Volume Functional
Let R be a constant. Let Mγ be the space of smooth metrics g on a given compact manifold Ω (n ≥ 3) with smooth boundary Σ such that g has constant scalar curvature R and g|Σ is a fixed metric γ on Σ. Let V (g) be the volume of g ∈ Mγ . In this work, we classify all Einstein or conformally flat metrics which are critical points of V (·) in Mγ .
متن کاملEnergy Radiation of Charged Particles in Conformally Flat Spacetimes
Original abstract: Consider the worldline of a charged particle in a static spacetime. Contraction of the time-translation Killing field with the retarded electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor gives a conserved electromagnetic energy vector which can be used to define the radiated electromagnetic energy. This note points out that for a conformally flat spacetime, the radiated energy is the sam...
