Bianchi type-II, VIII & IX perfect fluid magnetized cosmological models in Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation

Spatially homogeneous Bianchi type-II, VIII & IX charged perfect fluid cosmological models in Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation are obtained and presented. Various physical and geometrical features of the models are also discussed.

Charged fluids with symmetries

We investigate the role of symmetries for charged perfect fluids by assuming that spacetime admits a conformal Killing vector. The existence of a conformal symmetry places restrictions on the model. It is possible to find a general relationship for the Lie derivative of the electromagnetic field along the integral curves of the conformal vector. The electromagnetic field is mapped conformally under particular conditions. The Maxwell equations place restrictions on the form of the proper charge density.

Higher Dimensional Extension of Charged and Neutral Fluid Spheres with Pressure

General exact higher-dimensional (n+2), n>2 solutions in general theory of relativity of Einstein-Maxwell field equations for spherically symmetric distribution of charged pressure perfect fluid are expressed in terms of pressure extending 4-dimensional solutions presented by Bijalwan (Astrophys. Space Sci. 2011, doi:10.1007/s10509-011-0691-0). Subsequently, metrics (eλ and eυ), matter density and electric intensity are expressible in terms of pressure. Consequently, Pressure is found to be an invertible arbitrary function of ω (=c1+c2r2), where c1 and c2 (≠0) are arbitrary constants, and r is the radius of star, i.e. p=p(ω). We present a general solution for charged pressure fluid in terms for ω. We list and discuss some old and new solutions which fall in this category. Also, these solutions satisfy barotropic equation of state relating the radial pressure to the energy density. But we noticed that none of these solutions in terms of pressure for charged fluids has a well behaved neutral counter part for a spatial component of metric eλ i.e. choosing same spatial component for charged and neutral fluid. To illustrate the approach, we discovered a new solution for extended charged analogues of Schwarzschild interior solution in higher dimensions which is found to be well behaved only for n=2. The maximum mass found to be 1.512 MΘ with linear dimension 14.964 km. Physical quantities pressure, energy density, red-shift, velocity of sound and p/c2ρ are well behaved and monotonically decreasing towards the surface while adiabatic index and charge density are monotonically increasing. For brevity we don’t discuss the numerical results in detailed.

Charged perfect fluids in the presence of a cosmological constant

We consider the static and spherically symmetric field equations of general relativity for charged perfect fluid spheres in the presence of a cosmological constant. Following work by Florides (1983) we find new exact solutions of the field equations, and discuss their mass radius ratios. These solutions, for instance, require the charged Nariai metric to be the vacuum part of the spacetime. We also find charged generalizations of the Einstein static universe and speculate that the smallness problem of the cosmological constant might become less problematic if charge is taken into account.

Closed form Vaidya-Tikekar type charged fluid spheres with pressure

Recently, Bijalwan (Astrophys. Space Sci. doi:10.1007/s10509-011-0691-0, 2011) discussed all important solutions of charged fluid spheres with pressure and Gupta et al. (Astrophys. Space Sci. doi:10.1007/s10509-010-0561-1, 2010) found first closed form solutions of charged Vaidya-Tikekar (V-T) type super-dense star. We extend here the approach evolved by Bijalwan (Astrophys. Space Sci. doi:10.1007/s10509-011-0691-0, 2011) to find all possible closed form solutions of V-T type super-dense stars. The existing solutions of Vaidya-Tikekar type charged fluid spheres considering particular form of electric field intensity are being used to model massive stars. Infact at present maximum masses of the star models are found to be 8.223931MΘ and 8.460857MΘ subject to ultra-relativistic and non-relativistic conditions respectively. But these stars with such are large masses are not well behaved due to decreasing velocity of sound in the interior of star. We present new results concerning the existence of static, electrically charged perfect fluid spheres that have a regular interior. It is observed that electric intensity used in this article can be used to model superdense stars with ultrahigh surface density of the order 2×1014 gm/cm3 which may have maximum mass 7.26368240MΘ for ultra-relativistic condition and velocity of sound found to be decreasing towards pressure free interface. We solve the Einstein-Maxwell equations considering a general barotropic equation of state with pressure. For brevity we don’t present a detailed analysis of the derived solutions in this paper.

Noether and Lie symmetries for charged perfect fluids

We study the underlying nonlinear partial differential equation that governs the behaviour of spherically symmetric charged fluids in general relativity. We investigate the conditions for the equation to admit a first integral or be reduced to quadratures using symmetry methods for differential equations. A general Noether first integral is found. We also undertake a comprehensive group analysis of the underlying equation using Lie point symmetries. The existence of a Lie symmetry is subject to solving an integro-differential equation in general; we investigate the conditions under which it can be reduced to quadratures. Earlier results for uncharged fluids and particular first integrals for charged matter are regained as special cases of our treatment.

Static electrically charged fluids in terms of pressure: general property

A most general exact solution to the Einstein-Maxwell equations for static charged perfect fluid is sought in terms of pressure. Subsequently, metrics (eλ and eυ), matter density and electric intensity are expressible in terms of pressure. Consequently, Pressure is found to be an invertible arbitrary function of ω(=c1+c2r2), where c1 and c2(≠0) are arbitrary constants, and r is the radius of star, i.e. p=p(ω). We present a general solution for charged pressure fluid in terms for ω. We list and discuss some old and new solutions which fall in this category.

Thermodynamics of magnetized binary compact objects

Binary systems of compact objects with electromagnetic field are modeled by helically symmetric Einstein-Maxwell spacetimes with charged and magnetized perfect fluids. Previously derived thermodynamic laws for helically symmetric perfect-fluid spacetimes are extended to include the electromagnetic fields, and electric currents and charges; the first law is written as a relation between the change in the asymptotic Noether charge $\ensuremath{\delta}Q$ and the changes in the area and electric charge of black holes, and in the vorticity, baryon rest mass, entropy, charge and magnetic flux of the magnetized fluid. Using the conservation laws of the circulation of magnetized flow found by Bekenstein and Oron for the ideal magnetohydrodynamic fluid, and also for the flow with zero conducting current, we show that, for nearby equilibria that conserve the quantities mentioned above, the relation $\ensuremath{\delta}Q=0$ is satisfied. We also discuss a formulation for computing numerical solutions of magnetized binary compact objects in equilibrium with emphasis on a first integral of the ideal magnetohydrodynamic-Euler equation.

Revisiting the classical electron model in general relativity

Electron is modeled as a spherically symmetric charged perfect fluid distribution of matter. The existing model is extended assuming a matter source that is characterized by quadratic EoS in the context of general theory of relativity. For the suitable choices of the parameters, our charged fluid models almost satisfy the physical properties of electron.

Gravitational charged perfect fluid collapse in Friedmann universe models

This paper is devoted to study the gravitational charged perfect fluid collapse in the Friedmann universe models with cosmological constant. For this purpose, we assume that the electromagnetic field is so weak that it does not introduce any distortion into the geometry of the spacetime. The results obtained from the junction conditions between the Friedmann and the Reissner-Nordstr$\ddot{o}$m de-Sitter spacetimes are used to solve the field equations. Further, the singularity structure and mass effects of the collapsing system on time difference between the formation of apparent horizons and singularity have been studied. This analysis provides the validity of Cosmic Censorship Hypothesis. It is found that the electric field affects the area of apparent horizons and their time of formation.

Effects of Electromagnetic Field on Five Dimensional Gravitational Collapse

This paper investigates the five-dimensional(5D) spherically symmetric gravitational collapse with positive cosmological constant in the presence of an electromagnetic field. The junction conditions between the 5D non-static interior and the static exterior spacetimes are derived using the Israel criteria modified by Santos. We use the energy conditions to discuss solution to the field equations of the interior spacetime with a charged perfect fluid for the marginally bound and the non-marginally bound cases. We found that the range of apparent horizon was larger than that for 4D gravitational collapse with an electromagnetic field. This analysis gives the irreducible and the reducible extensions of 4D perfect fluid collapse with an electromagnetic field and 5D perfect fluid collapse, respectively. Moreover, for the later case, the results can be recovered under some restrictions.

EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD ON GRAVITATIONAL COLLAPSE

In this paper, the effect of electromagnetic field has been investigated on the spherically symmetric gravitational 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 electromagnetic field reduces the bound of cosmological constant by reducing the pressure and hence collapsing process is faster as compared to the perfect fluid case. This work gives the generalization of the perfect fluid case to the charged perfect fluid. Results for the perfect fluid case are recovered.

Some rotating perfect fluid universes coupled with electromagnetic field interacting with gravitation

Some new interesting solutions, the dynamics, behaviour and phenomena of rotating charged perfect fluid models are investigated, and their physical and geometrical properties are studied in order to substantiate the possibility of the existence of such astrophysical bodies in this Universe. The nature and role of the metric rotation Ω(r,t) as well as that of the matter rotation ω(r,t) are studied for uniform and non-uniform motions. The reactions of the gravitational and charged fields with respect to the rotational motion are studied and possible results are explored for real astrophysical situations, and in some solutions we find the spatial restrictions on the models for realistic conditions. Rotating models which are expanding are obtained in which the rotational motions are decaying with time.

Higher dimensional exact solutions for a charged fluid sphere in general theory of relativity

The exact higher dimensional solutions of Einstein-Maxwell field equations for spherically symmetric distribution of charged perfect fluid are obtained by using the method originally used by Hajj-Boutros and Sfeila (Gen. Relativ. Gravit. 18(4):395, 1986) for four-dimensional space-time. The new exact solutions have been generated from those of Khadekar et al. (J. Indian Math. Soc. 68(1–4):33, 2001), Humi and Mansour (Phys. Rev. D 29(6):1076, 1984) and Banerjee and Santos (J. Math. Phys. 22(4):824, 1981) in the frame work of higher dimensional space-time. The various physical properties are also discussed.

Non-localizability of electric coupling and gravitational binding of charged objects

The energy–momentum tensor in general relativity contains only localized contributions to the total energy–momentum. Here, we consider a static, spherically symmetric object consisting of a charged perfect fluid. For this object, the total gravitational mass contains a non-localizable contribution of electric coupling (ordinarily associated with electromagnetic mass). We derive an explicit expression for the total mass which implies that the non-localizable contribution of electric coupling is not bound together by gravity, thus ruling out the existence of objects with pure Lorentz electromagnetic mass in general relativity.

CHARGED ANALOGUE OF FINCH–SKEA STARS

We present solutions to the Einstein–Maxwell system of equations in spherically symmetric gravitational fields for static interior space–times with a specified form of the electric field intensity. The condition of pressure isotropy yields three category of solutions. The first category is expressible in terms of elementary functions and does not have an uncharged limit. The second category is given in terms of Bessel functions of half-integer order. These charged solutions satisfy a barotropic equation of state and contain Finch–Skea uncharged stars. The third category is obtained in terms of modified Bessel functions of half-integer order and does not have an uncharged limit. The physical features of the charged analogue of the Finch–Skea stars are studied in detail. In particular, the condition of causality is satisfied and the speed of sound does not exceed the speed of light. The physical analysis indicates that this analogue is a realistic model for static charged relativistic perfect fluid spheres.

Neutral perfect fluids of Majumdar-type in general relativity

We consider the extension of the Majumdar-type class of static solutions for the Einstein-Maxwell equations, proposed by Ida to include charged perfect fluid sources. We impose the equation of state $\rho+3p=0$ and discuss spherically symmetric solutions for the linear potential equation satisfied by the metric. In this particular case the fluid charge density vanishes and we locate the arising neutral perfect fluid in the intermediate region defined by two thin shells with respective charges $Q$ and $-Q$. With its innermost flat and external (Schwarzschild) asymptotically flat spacetime regions, the resultant condenser-like geometries resemble solutions discussed by Cohen and Cohen in a different context. We explore this relationship and point out an exotic gravitational property of our neutral perfect fluid. We mention possible continuations of this study to embrace non-spherically symmetric situations and higher dimensional spacetimes.

CHARGED PERFECT FLUID CONFIGURATIONS WITH A DILATON FIELD

We examine static charged perfect fluid configurations in the presence of a dilaton field. A method for construction of interior solutions is given. An explicit example of an interior solution which matches continuously the external Gibbons–Maeda–Garfinkle–Horowitz–Strominger solution is presented. Extremely charged perfect fluid configurations with a dilaton are also examined. We show that there are two types of extreme configurations. For each type the field equations are reduced to a single nonlinear equation on a space of a constant curvature. In the particular case of a perfect fluid with a linear equation of state, the field equations of the first type configurations are reduced to a Helmholtz equation on a space with a constant curvature. An explicit example of an extreme configuration is given and discussed.

Charged perfect fluid disks as sources of Taub-NUT-type spacetimes

The interpretation of a family of electrovacuum stationary Taub-NUT-type fields in terms of finite charged perfect fluid disks is presented. The interpretation is made by means of an 'inverse problem' approach used to obtain disk sources of known solutions of the Einstein or Einstein-Maxwell equations. The diagonalization of the energy-momentum tensor of the disks is facilitated in this case by the fact that it can be written as an upper right triangular matrix. We find that the inclusion of electromagnetic fields changes significantly the different material properties of the disks and so we can obtain, for some values of the parameters, finite charged perfect fluid disks that are in agreement with all the energy conditions.

Exact relativistic static charged perfect fluid disks

Using the well-known ``displace, cut and reflect'' method used to generate disks from given solutions of Einstein field equations, we construct static charged disks made of perfect fluid based on the Reissner-Nordstr\"om solution in isotropic coordinates. We also derive a simple stability condition for charged and noncharged perfect fluid disks. As expected, we find that the presence of charge increases the regions of instability of the disks.
