Vacuum spacetimes with a spacelike, hypersurface-orthogonal Killing vector: reduced equations in a canonical frame
The Newman-Penrose equations for spacetimes having one spacelike Killing vector are reduced – in a geometrically defined “canonical frame” – to a minimal set, and its differential structure is studied. Expressions for the frame vectors in an arbitrary coordinate basis are given, and coordinate-independent choices of the metric functions are suggested which make the components of the Ricci tenso...
متن کاملBinary black hole spacetimes with a helical Killing vector
Binary black hole spacetimes with a helical Killing vector, which are discussed as an approximation for the early stage of a binary system, are studied in a projection formalism. In this setting the four dimensional Einstein equations are equivalent to a three dimensional gravitational theory with a SL(2, C)/SO(1, 1) sigma model as the material source. The sigma model is determined by a complex...
متن کاملKilling Vector Fields, Maxwell Equations and Lorentzian Spacetimes
In this paper we first analyze the structure of Maxwell equations in a Lorentzian spacetime when the potential is A = eK, i.e., proportional to a 1-form K physically equivalent Killing vector field. We show that A necessarily obeys the Lorenz gauge δA = 0. Moreover we determine the form of the current associated with this potential showing that it is of a superconducting type, i.e., proportiona...
متن کاملNo-horizon theorem for spacetimes with spacelike G1 isometry groups
We consider four-dimensional spacetimes (M,g) which obey the Einstein equations G = T, and admit a global spacelike G1 = R isometry group. By means of dimensional reduction and local analyis on the reduced (2 + 1) spacetime, we obtain a sufficient condition on T which guarantees that (M,g) cannot contain apparent horizons. Given any (3 + 1) spacetime with spacelike translational isometry, the n...
