Symmetry Transformations in Cosmological and Black Hole Analytical Solutions

Abstract

We analyze the transformation of a very broad class of metrics that can be expressed in terms of static coordinates. Starting from a general ansatz, we obtain a relation for the parameters in which one can impose further symmetries or restrictions. One of the simplest restrictions leads to FLRW cases, while transforming from the initial static to other static-type coordinates can lead to near horizon coordinates, Wheeler–Regge, and isotropic coordinates, among others. As less restrictive cases, we show an indirect route for obtaining Kruskal–Szekeres within this approach, as well as Lemaître coordinates. We use Schwarzschild spacetime as a prototype for testing the procedure in individual cases. However, application to other spacetimes, such as de-Sitter, Reissner–Nordström, and Schwarzschild de Sitter, can be readily generalized.
