Gauge-invariant Non-spherical Metric Perturbations of Schwarzschild Spacetime
The theory of gauge-invariant non-spherical metric perturbations of a Schwarzschild spacetime is now well established. Yet, as different notations and conventions have been used throughout the years, the literature on the subject is often confusing and sometimes confused. The purpose of this paper is to review and collect the relevant expressions related to the Regge-Wheeler and Zerilli equatio...
متن کاملSpacetime Defects: Torsion Loops
Spacetimes with everywhere vanishing curvature tensor, but with tor-sion different from zero only on world sheets that represent closed loops in ordinary space are presented, also defects along open curves with end points at infinity are studied. The case of defects along timelike loops is also considered and the geodesics in these spaces are briefly discussed.
متن کاملA spacetime characterization of the Kerr metric
We obtain a characterization of the Kerr metric among stationary, asymptotically flat, vacuum spacetimes, which extends the characterization in terms of the Simon tensor (defined only in the manifold of trajectories) to the whole spacetime. More precisely, we define a three index tensor on any spacetime with a Killing field, which vanishes identically for Kerr and which coincides in the strictl...
متن کاملObtaining the spacetime metric from cosmological observations
Recent galaxy redshift surveys have brought in a large amount of accurate cosmological data out to redshift 0.3, and future surveys are expected to achieve a high degree of completeness out to a redshift exceeding 1. Consequently, a numerical programme for determining the metric of the universe from observational data will soon become practical; and thereby realise the ultimate application of E...
متن کاملSpacetime metric from linear electrodynamics II
Following Kottler, É.Cartan, and van Dantzig, we formulate the Maxwell equations in a metric independent form in terms of the field strength F = (E,B) and the excitation H = (D,H). We assume a linear constitutive law between H and F . First we split off a pseudo-scalar (axion) field from the constitutive tensor; its remaining 20 components can be used to define a duality operator # for 2-forms....
