Vanishing 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...
متن کاملClassification of supersymmetric spacetimes in eleven dimensions.
We derive, for spacetimes admitting a Spin(7) structure, the general local bosonic solution of the Killing spinor equation of 11-dimensional supergravity. The metric, four-form, and Killing spinors are determined explicitly, up to an arbitrary eight-manifold of Spin(7) holonomy. It is sufficient to impose the Bianchi identity and one particular component of the four-form field equation to ensur...
متن کاملClassification of Higher Dimensional Spacetimes
We algebraically classify some higher dimensional spacetimes, including a number of vacuum solutions of the Einstein field equations which can represent higher dimensional black holes. We discuss some consequences of this work. E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected]
