ShockWaves in Plane Symmetric Spacetimes
We consider Einstein’s equations coupled to the Euler equations in plane symmetry, with compact spatial slices and constant mean curvature time. We show that for a wide variety of equations of state and a large class of initial data, classical solutions break down in finite time. The key mathematical result is a new theorem on the breakdown of solutions of systems of balance laws. We also show ...
متن کاملNull weak singularities in plane-symmetric spacetimes
We construct a new class of plane-symmetric solutions possessing a curvature singularity which is null and weak, like the spacetime singularity at the Cauchy horizon of spinning (or charged) black holes. We then analyse the stability of this singularity using a rigorous non-perturbative method. We find that within the framework of (linearly-polarized) plane-symmetric spacetimes this type of nul...
متن کاملOn Gravitational Shock Waves in Curved Spacetimes
Some years ago Dray and ’t Hooft found the necessary and sufficient conditions to introduce a gravitational shock wave in a particular class of vacuum solutions to Einstein’s equations. We extend this work to cover cases where non-vanishing matter fields and cosmological constant are present. The sources of gravitational waves are massless particles moving along a null surface such as a horizon...
متن کاملProper Matter Collineations of Plane Symmetric Spacetimes
Let (M, g) be a spacetime, where M is a smooth, connected, Hausdorff four-dimensional manifold and g is smooth Lorentzian metric of signature (+ -) defined on M . The manifold M and the metric g are assumed smooth (C). A smooth vector field ξ is said to preserve a matter symmetry [1] on M if, for each smooth local diffeomorphism φt associated with ξ, the tensors T and φ∗tT are equal on the doma...
متن کاملSpherically Symmetric Static Spacetimes
In this paper we discuss matter inheritance collineations by giving a complete classification of spherically symmetric static spacetimes by their matter inheritance symmetries. It is shown that when the energy-momentum tensor is degenerate, most of the cases yield infinite dimensional matter inheriting symmetries. It is worth mentioning here that two cases provide finite dimensional matter inhe...
