Kundt Spacetimes
Kundt spacetimes are of great importance in general relativity in 4 dimensions and have a number of topical applications in higher dimensions in the context of string theory. The degenerate Kundt spacetimes have many special and unique mathematical properties, including their invariant curvature structure and their holonomy structure. We provide a rigorous geometrical kinematical definition of ...
متن کاملNon-abelian Yang-Mills in Kundt spacetimes
We present new exact solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills system. The solutions are described by a null Yang-Mills field in a Kundt spacetime. They generalize a previously known solution for a metric of pp wave type. The solutions are formally of Petrov type III.
متن کاملVanishing Scalar Invariant Spacetimes in Higher Dimensions
We study manifolds with Lorentzian signature and prove that all scalar curvature invariants of all orders vanish in a higher-dimensional Lorentzian spacetime if and only if there exists an aligned non-expanding, non-twisting, geodesic null direction along which the Riemann tensor has negative boost order.
متن کاملType D Einstein spacetimes in higher dimensions
We show that all static spacetimes in higher dimensions n > 4 are necessarily of Weyl types G, Ii, D or O. This applies also to stationary spacetimes provided additional conditions are fulfilled, as for most known black hole/ring solutions. (The conclusions change when the Killing generator becomes null, such as at Killing horizons, on which we briefly comment.) Next we demonstrate that the sam...
متن کاملType II Einstein spacetimes in higher dimensions
This short note shows that many of the results derived by Pravda et al (Class. Quant. Grav. 24 4407-4428 ) for higher-dimensional Type D Einstein spacetimes can be generalized to all Einstein spacetimes admitting a multiple WAND; the main new result being the extension to include the Type II case. Examples of Type D Einstein spacetimes admitting non-geodesic multiple WANDs are given in all dime...
