Characterisation of orthogonal perfect fluid cosmological spacetimes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the general orthogonal metric separable in space and time variables in comoving coordinates. We then characterise perfect fluid models admitted by such a metric. It turns out that the homogeneous models can only be either FLRW or Bianchi I while the inhomogeneous ones can only admit G2 (two mutually as well as hypersurface orthogonal spacelike Killing vectors) isometry. The latter can possess singularities of various kinds or none. The non-singular family is however unique and cylindrically symmetric.

Spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor
The object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor. At first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is Einstein and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying Einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant. Next, we prove that if the perfect flui...
متن کاملNew families of singularity-free cosmological models
During the previous decade the interest for singularity-free cosmological models was supported by the publication of the first known geodesically complete perfect fluid cosmology [1]. Until then such possibility had been overlooked due to the restrictive conditions imposed by singularity theorems [2], [3]. These theorems required physically reasonable restrictions such as energy, causality and ...
متن کامل1 Kinematic Self-similarity
Self-similarity in general relativity is briefly reviewed and the differences between self-similarity of the first kind (which can be obtained from dimensional considerations and is invariantly characterized by the existence of a homothetic vector in perfect fluid spacetimes) and generalized self-similarity are discussed. The covariant notion of a kinematic self-similarity in the context of rel...
متن کاملGravitational Perfect Fluid Collapse With Cosmological Constant
In this paper, the effect of a positive cosmological constant on spherically symmetric collapse with perfect fluid has been investigated. The matching conditions between static exterior and non-static interior spacetimes are given in the presence of a cosmological constant. We also study the apparent horizons and their physical significance. It is concluded that the cosmological constant slows ...
متن کاملEffects of Electromagnetic Field on Gravitational Collapse
In this paper, the effect of electromagnetic field has been investigated on the spherically symmetric collapse with the perfect fluid in the presence of positive cosmological constant. Junction conditions between the static exterior and non-static interior spherically symmetric spacetimes are discussed. We study the apparent horizons and their physical significance. It is found that electromagn...
