Taub’s plane-symmetric vacuum spacetime revisited
The gravitational properties of the only static plane-symmetric vacuum solution of Einstein’s field equations without cosmological term (Taub’s solution, for brevity) are presented: some already known properties (geodesics, weak field limit and pertainment to the Schwarzschild family of spacetimes) are reviewed in a physically much more transparent way, as well as new results about its asymptot...
متن کاملCylindrically symmetric dust spacetime
We present an explicit exact solution of Einstein’s equations for an inhomogeneous dust universe with cylindrical symmetry. The spacetime is extremely simple but nonetheless it has new surprising features. The universe is “closed” in the sense that the dust expands from a big-bang singularity but recollapses to a big-crunch singularity. In fact, both singularities are connected so that the whol...
متن کاملSpacetime Foam and Vacuum Energy
The term Spacetime Foam was introduced for the first time by J.A. Wheeler at the end of the fifties to indicate that quantum fluctuations come into play at the Planckian scale, changing topology and metric [1]. Apart the pioneering path integral approach to Spacetime Foam, considered by S.W. Hawking [2], only recently the subject has been widely reconsidered in the context of brane physics [3],...
متن کاملWightman function and vacuum densities for a Z2-symmetric thick brane in AdS spacetime
Positive frequency Wightman function, vacuum expectation values of the field square and the energy-momentum tensor induced by a Z2-symmetric brane with finite thickness located on (D + 1)dimensional AdS background are evaluated for a massive scalar field with general curvature coupling parameter. For the general case of static plane symmetric interior structure the expectation values in the reg...
متن کاملBrans-Dicke Wormholes in Non-Vacuum Spacetime
Analytical wormhole solutions in Brans-Dicke theory in the presence of matter are presented. It is shown that the wormhole throat must not be necessarily threaded with exotic matter. PACS number(s): 04.20Jb, 04.50+h ∗E-mail: [email protected] 1 The field equations of General Relativity, being local in character, admit solutions with nontrivial topology. Among these, wormholes have ...
