The electrostatic and gravitational field of spherically symmetric objects

The electrostatic and gravitational fields of an extended spherically symmetric object is presented. The limit to a point-like object is discussed for Born-Infeld type of electrodynamics and it is shown, that the extreme Reissner-Nordstrøm field, where no event horizon occurs, is unphysical.     

The general four-dimensional spherically symmetric Finsler space

Finsler geometries give natural generalisations of Riemannian geometries, and hence possible natural extensions of general relativity. In this latter (gravitational) context, it is of particular interest to find the general spherically symmetric Finsler metric on ⁴. In this paper, we derive this metric. The general solution is given in two alternative forms, the second of which allows easy comparison with Riemannian-like metrics. We also derive the general axially symmetric Finsler metric on ⁴.     

Static spherically symmetric solutions in general projective relativity

Static spherically symmetric solutions have been obtained for general projective relativity withn=0 andn0 both in isotropic and curvature coordinates. In curvature coordinates, only a restricted exact solution is possible. However, an approximate solution can always be obtained following a method similar to Vanden Bergh. In these spacetimes there is no horizon, but only a naked singularity atr=0. Thus there are no black holes. It is shown that there is no solution in static, spherically symmetric, conformally flat spacetime.     

On Datta's spherically symmetric systems in general relativity

The problem tackled by B. K. Datta, [1] in a recent paper concerning non-static spherically symmetric systems in which the particle motion is, in a certain sense, purely transverse, is further developed and compared with the Newtonian case. A full classification of the possible motions is given.The author wishes to express his thanks to Professor C. W. Kilmister for helpful discussions.     

A new model for spherically symmetric charged compact stars of embedding class 1

In the present study we search for a new stellar model with spherically symmetric matter and a charged distribution in a general relativistic framework. The model represents a compact star of embedding class 1. The solutions obtained here are general in nature, having the following two features: first of all, the metric becomes flat and also the expressions for the pressure, energy density, and electric charge become zero in all the cases if we consider the constant \(A=0\), which shows that our solutions represent the so-called ‘electromagnetic mass model’ [17], and, secondly, the metric function \(\nu (r)\), for the limit n tending to infinity, converts to \(\nu (r)=C{r}^{2}+ ln~B\), which is the same as considered by Maurya et al. [11]. We have investigated several physical aspects of the model and find that all the features are acceptable within the requirements of contemporary theoretical studies and observational evidence.     

Neutrino oscillations in the general spherically symmetric gravitational field

The energy distribution for a spherically symmetric isolated system in general relativity

The problems of the tolal energy and quasilocalenergy density or an isolated spherically symmetric static system in general relativity (GR) are considered with examples of some exact suintions. The field formulation of GR dereloped earlier hy L. P. Grishchuk. el al. (1984). in ihe framework of which all the dynamical fields, including the gravitation field, are considered in a fixed background spacetime is used intensively. The exact Schwarzschild and Reissner Nordstrom solutions are investigated in detail, and the results are compared with those in the recent work by J. D. Brown and J. W. York. Jr. (1993) as well as discussed with respect to the principle of nonlocalization of the gravitational energy in GR. Those examples are illustrative and simple because the background is selected as Minkowski spacetime and, in fact, the field configurations are studied in the framework of special relativity. It is shown that some problems of the Schwarzschild solution which are difficult to resolve in the standard geometrical framework of GR are resolved in the framework of the field formulation.     

Hawking radiation from a general spherically symmetric evaporating black hole

By means of generalized tortoise coordinates both the Klein-Gordon equation and the Dirac equation are reduced near the event horizon of a general spherically symmetric evaporating black hole. The location and the temperature of the event horizon are given automatically without calculating the energy-momentum tensor. The Hawking thermal spectra of the Klein-Gordon particles and the Dirac particles are obtained, respectively.     

Stationary bound-state massive scalar field configurations supported by spherically symmetric compact reflecting stars

It has recently been demonstrated that asymptotically flat neutral reflecting stars are characterized by an intriguing no-hair property. In particular, it has been proved that these horizonless compact objects cannot support spatially regular static matter configurations made of scalar (spin-0) fields, vector (spin-1) fields and tensor (spin-2) fields. In the present paper we shall explicitly prove that spherically symmetric compact reflecting stars can support stationary (rather than static) bound-state massive scalar fields in their exterior spacetime regions. To this end, we solve analytically the Klein–Gordon wave equation for a linearized scalar field of mass \(\mu \) and proper frequency \(\omega \) in the curved background of a spherically symmetric compact reflecting star of mass M and radius \(R_{\text {s}}\). It is proved that the regime of existence of these stationary composed star–field configurations is characterized by the simple inequalities \(1-2M/R_{\text {s}}<(\omega /\mu )^2<1\). Interestingly, in the regime \(M/R_{\text {s}}\ll 1\) of weakly self-gravitating stars we derive a remarkably compact analytical equation for the discrete spectrum \(\{\omega (M,R_{\text {s}},\mu )\}^{n=\infty }_{n=1}\) of resonant oscillation frequencies which characterize the stationary composed compact-reflecting-star–linearized-massive-scalar-field configurations. Finally, we verify the accuracy of the analytically derived resonance formula of the composed star–field configurations with direct numerical computations.     

Canonical formulation of the spherically symmetric einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs system for a general gauge group

The dynamics of the spherically symmetric system of gravitation interacting with scalar and Yang-Mills fields is presented in the context of the canonical formalism. The gauge group considered is a general (compact and semisimple) N parameter group. The scalar (Higgs) field transforms according to an unspecified M-dimensional orthogonal representation of the gauge group. The canonical formalism is based on Dirac's techniques for dealing with constrained hamiltonian systems. First the condition that the scalar and Yang-Mills fields and their conjugate momenta be spherically symmetric up to a gauge is formulated and solved for global gauge transformations, finding, in a general gauge, the explicit angular dependence of the fields and conjugate momenta. It is shown that if the gauge group does not admit a subgroup (locally) isomorphic to the rotation group, then the dynamical variables can only be manifestly spherically symmetric. If the opposite is the case, then the number of allowed degrees of freedom is connected to the angular momentum content of the adjoint representation of the gauge group. Once the suitable variables with explicit angular dependence have been obtained, a reduced action is derived by integrating away the angular coordinates. The canonical formulation of the problem is now based on dynamical variables depending only on an arbitrary radial coordinate r and an arbitrary time coordinate t. Besides the gravitational variables, the formalism now contains two pairs of N-vector variables (R, π_r), (Θ, π_Θ), corresponding to the allowed Yang-Mills degrees of freedom and one pair of M-vector variables, (h, π_h), associated with the original scalar field. The reduced Hamiltonian is invariant under a group of r-dependent gauge transformations such that R plays the role of the gauge field (transforming in the typically inhomogeneous way) and in terms of which the gauge covariant derivatives of Θ and h naturally appear. No derivatives of R appear in the Hamiltonian and the gauge freedom allows us to define a gauge in which R is zero. Also the r and t coordinates are fixed in a way consistent with the equations of motion. Some nontrivial static solutions are found. One of these solutions is given in closed form; it is singular and corresponds to a generalization of the singular solution found in the literature with different degrees of generality and the geometry is described by the Reissner-Nordström metric. The other solution is defined through its asymptotic behavior. It generalizes to curved space the finite energy solution discyssed by Julia and Zee in flat space.     

Accretion of a conducting medium onto a spherically symmetric black hole imbedded in a magnetic field

The relativistic motion of a conducting continuous medium in the vicinity of a black hole imbedded in a magnetic field is discussed. Expressions are obtained which characterize the variation of the magnetic field as a result of the accretion of matter.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 69–71, November, 1981.     

Spherical accretion flow onto general parameterized spherically symmetric black hole spacetimes

The transonic phenomenon of black hole accretion and the existence of the photon sphere characterize strong gravitational fields near a black hole horizon.Here,we study the spherical accretion flow onto general parametrized spherically symmetric black hole spacetimes.We analyze the accretion process for various perfect fluids,such as the isothermal fluids of ultra-stiff,ultra-relativistic,and sub-relativistic types,and the polytropic fluid.The influences of additional parameters,beyond the Schwarzschild black hole in the framework of general parameterized spherically symmetric black holes,on the flow behavior of the above-mentioned test fluids are studied in detail.In addition,by studying the accretion of the ideal photon gas,we further discuss the correspondence between the sonic radius of the accreting photon gas and the photon sphere for general parameterized spherically symmetric black holes.Possible extensions of our analysis are also discussed.     

Non-static spherically symmetric clusters of particles in general relativity: I

In an ingenious way rotation (but no angular momentum) has been introduced in the case of spherical symmetry by Einstein, who has considered a stationary cluster of particles moving freely under the influence of the gravitational field produced by all of them together. The aim of the present work is to extend his idea to the non-static case, and it seems that under some circumstances instead of an indefinite gravitational collapse there is a minimum of the volume and a bouncing back.

Quasi-local energy for spherically symmetric spacetimes

We present two complementary approaches for determining the reference for the covariant Hamiltonian boundary term quasi-local energy and test them on spherically symmetric spacetimes. On the one hand, we isometrically match the 2-surface and extremize the energy. This can be done in two ways, which we call programs I (without constraint) and II (with additional constraints). On the other hand, we match the orthonormal 4-frames of the dynamic and the reference spacetimes. Then, if we further specify the observer by requiring the reference displacement to be the timelike Killing vector of the reference, the result is the same as program I, and the energy can be positive, zero, or even negative. If, instead, we require that the Lie derivatives of the two-area along the displacement vector in both the dynamic and reference spacetimes to be the same, the result is the same as program II, and it satisfies the usual criteria: the energies are non-negative and vanish only for Minkowski (or anti-de Sitter) spacetime.
