Abstract

Instead of the metric conformal to flat spacetime, we take the metric conformal to a spacetime which can be thought of as “minimally” curved in the sense that free particles experience no gravitational force yet it has non-zero curvature. The base spacetime can be written in the Kerr-Schild form in spherical polar coordinates. The conformal metric then admits the unique three-parameter family of perfect fluid solutions which are static and inhomogeneous. The density and pressure fall off in the curvature radial coordinates asR −2, for unbounded cosmological model with a barotropic equation of state. This is the characteristic of an isothermal fluid. We thus have an ansatz for an isothermal perfect fluid model. The solution can also represent bounded fluid spheres.
