Exact General Relativistic Rotating Disks Immersed in Rotating Dust Generated from van Stockum Solutions
نویسنده
چکیده
A class of exact general relativistic rotating thick disks surrounded by rotating dust is constructed by applying the “displace, cut, fill and reflect” method on the van Stockum class of metrics. Two particular solutions are considered in detail. We find that the disks have annular regions with negative energy density and heat flow is present in most of the radial extension of the disk. It is shown that thin disks are composed of exotic matter with an equation of state of cosmic strings or struts. We also comment the recent relativistic galactic model proposed by Cooperstock and Tieu and the presence of an additional disk of exotic matter in their model.

Van Stockum–Bonnor Spacetimes of Rigidly Rotating Dust
We discuss different classes of van Stockum spacetimes which are stationary and axisymmetric spacetimes of dust rotating rigidly on trajectories of the time translation Killing vector. The flow has no Newtonian limit. Asymptotically flat solutions are not physically viable. As an example we construct a sequence of asymptotically flat internal multipolar solutions. The corresponding sequence of ...
متن کاملExact relativistic treatment of stationary counter-rotating dust disks I Boundary value problems and solutions
This is the first in a series of papers on the construction of explicit solutions to the stationary axisymmetric Einstein equations which describe counter-rotating disks of dust. These disks can serve as models for certain galaxies and accretion disks in astrophysics. We review the Newtonian theory for disks using Riemann-Hilbert methods which can be extended to some extent to the relativistic ...

The two known exact solutions of Einstein’s field equations describing rotating objects of physical significance – a black hole and a rigidly rotating disk of dust – are discussed using a single mathematical framework related to Jacobi’s inversion problem. Both solutions can be represented in such a form that they differ in the choice of a complex parameter and a real solution of the axisymmetr...
متن کاملElectrovacuum Static Counter - Rotating Relativistic Dust Disks
A detailed study of the Counter-Rotating Model (CRM) for generic electrostatic (magnetostatic) axially symmetric thin disks without radial pressure is presented. We find a general constraint over the counter-rotating tangential velocities needed to cast the surface energy-momentum tensor of the disk as the superposition of two counter-rotating charged dust fluids. We then show that this constra...

This is the second in a series of papers on the construction of explicit solutions to the stationary axisymmetric Einstein equations which can be interpreted as counterrotating disks of dust. We discuss the class of solutions to the Einstein equations for disks with constant angular velocity and constant relative density which was constructed in the first part. The metric for these spacetimes i...
