Integration of the Ghp Equations in Spacetimes Admitting a Geodesic Shear-free Expanding Null Congruence
نویسنده
چکیده
We perform a complete ρ-integration of the GHP equations for all spacetimes that admit a geodesic shear-free expanding null congruence, whose Ricci spinor is aligned to the congruence and whose Ricci scalar is constant. We also deduce the system of GHP equations after the integration is completed, and discuss a few applications.

Lanczos Potentials and Curvature- Free Connections Aligned to a Geodesic Shear-free Expanding Null Congruence
By the method of ρ-integration we obtain all Lanczos potentials LABCA′ of the Weyl spinor that, in a certain sense, are aligned to a geodesic shear-free expanding null congruence. We also obtain all spinors HABA′B′ = QABoA′oB′ , QAB = Q(AB) satisfying ∇(A ′HBC)A′B′ = LABCA′ . We go on to prove that HABA′B′ can be chosen so that ΓABCA′ = ∇(A ′HB)CA′B′ defines a metric asymmetric curvature-free c...
متن کاملNew slant on tilted cosmology.
In a recent paper by Coley and Mc Manus @1#, spacetimes admitting a shear-free, irrotational, and geodesic ~SIG! timelike congruence were studied. Moreover, ~single! perfect fluid spacetimes in which the fluid four-velocity is tilting relative to the SIG timelike congruence ~which we shall refer to here as tilting SIG models! were investigated; in particular, it was shown that such spacetimes a...
متن کاملNonstationary Kerr Congruences
The Kerr solution is defined by a null congruence which is geodesic and shear free and has a singular line contained in a bounded region of space. A generalization of the Kerr congruence for a nonstationary case is obtained. We find a nonstationary shear free geodesic null congruence which is generated by a given analytical complex world line. Solutions of the Einstein equations are analyzed. I...
متن کاملانقباض گرانشی یک لایه نور گونه با تقارن کروی در نسبیت عام
In this work, the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric null shell with the flat interior and a charged Vaidya exterior spacetimes is studied. There is no gravitational impulsive wave present on the null hypersurface which is shear-free and contracting. It follows that there is a critical radius at which the shell bounces and starts expanding.
متن کاملShear-free Null Quasi-Spherical Spacetimes
We study the residual gauge freedom within the null quasi-spherical (NQS) gauge for spacetimes admitting an expanding shear-free null foliation. By constructing the most general NQS coordinates subordinate to such a foliation, we obtain both a clear picture of the geometric nature of the residual coordinate freedom, and an explicit construction of nontrivial NQS metrics representing some well-k...
