Aspherical Gravitational Monopoles
We show how to construct non-spherically-symmetric extended bodies of uniform density behaving exactly as pointlike masses. These “gravitational monopoles” have the following equivalent properties: (i) they generate, outside them, a spherically-symmetric gravitational potential M/|x − xO| ; (ii) their interaction energy with an external gravitational potential U(x) is −M U(xO) ; and (iii) all t...
متن کاملStatic Gravitational Global Monopoles
Topological defects have attracted quite a bit of attention because of their relevance to a number of different areas ranging from condensed matter to structure formation. Studies of global monopoles in particular have served as a foundation on which knowledge of other defects has been built. Previous work details static gravitating global monopole solutions [1,2], while further studies conside...
متن کاملGravitational Radiation from Monopoles Connected by Strings
CONNECTED BY STRINGS Xavier Martin and Alexander Vilenkin Institute of Cosmology, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Tufts University, Medford, MA 02155, USA Monopole-antimonopole pairs connected by strings can be formed as topological defects in a sequence of cosmological phase transitions. Such hybrid defects typically decay early in the history of the universe but can still generate an obs...
متن کاملAspherical Manifolds*
This is a survey on known results and open problems about closed aspherical manifolds, i.e., connected closed manifolds whose universal coverings are contractible. Many examples come from certain kinds of non-positive curvature conditions. The property aspherical, which is a purely homotopy theoretical condition, has many striking implications about the geometry and analysis of the manifold or ...
