  • on the 1 3 threading of spacetime with respect to an arbitrary timelike vector field
    European Physical Journal C, 2015
    Co-Authors: Aurel Bejancu, Constantin Călin
    Abstract:

    We develop a new approach on the (\(1+3\)) threading of spacetime \((M, g)\) with respect to a congruence of curves defined by an arbitrary timelike vector field. The study is based on spatial Tensor fields and on the Riemannian spatial connection \(\nabla ^{\star }\), which behave as 3D geometric objects. We obtain new formulas for local components of the Ricci Tensor field of \((M, g)\) with respect to the threading frame field, in terms of the Ricci Tensor field of \(\nabla ^{\star }\) and of kinematic quantities. Also, new expressions for time covariant derivatives of kinematic quantities are stated. In particular, a new form of Raychaudhuri’s equation enables us to prove Lemma 6.3, which completes a well-known lemma used in the proof of the Penrose–Hawking singularity theorems. Finally, we apply the new \((1+3)\) formalism to the study of the dynamics of a Kerr–Newman black hole.

    arXiv: Differential Geometry, 2015
    Co-Authors: Aurel Bejancu, Constantin Călin
    Abstract:

    We develop a new approach on the (1+3) threading of spacetime $(M, g)$ with respect to a congruence of curves defined by an arbitrary timelike vector field. The study is based on spatial Tensor fields and on the Riemannian spatial connection $\nabla^{\star}$, which behave as $3D$ geometric objects. We obtain new formulas for local components of the Ricci Tensor field of $(M, g)$ with respect to the threading frame field, in terms of the Ricci Tensor field of $\nabla^{\star}$ and of kinematic quantities. Also, new expressions for time covariant derivatives of kinematic quantities are stated. In particular, a new form of Raychaudhuri's equation enables us to prove Lemma 6.2, which completes a well known lemma used in the proof of Penrose-Hawking singularity theorems.Finally, we apply the new $(1+3)$ formalism to the study of the dynamics of a Kerr-Newman black hole.

  • Ricci collineations in friedmann robertson walker spacetimes
    Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2002
    Co-Authors: Ugur Camci, Alan Barnes
    Abstract:

    Ricci collineations and Ricci inheritance collineations of Friedmann–Robertson–Walker spacetimes are considered. When the Ricci Tensor is non-degenerate, it is shown that the spacetime always admits a 15-parameter group of Ricci inheritance collineations; this is the maximal possible dimension for spacetime manifolds. The general form of the vector generating the symmetry is exhibited. It is also shown, in the generic case, that the group of Ricci collineations is six-dimensional and coincides with the isometry group. In special cases the spacetime may admit either one or four proper Ricci collineations in addition to the six isometries. These special cases are classified and the general form of the vector fields generating the Ricci collineations is exhibited. When the Ricci Tensor is degenerate, the groups of Ricci inheritance collineations and Ricci collineations are infinite-dimensional. General forms for the generating vectors are obtained. Similar results are obtained for matter collineations and matter inheritance collineations.

    Abstract:

    Ricci collineations and Ricci inheritance collineations of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetimes are considered. When the Ricci Tensor is non-degenerate, it is shown that the spacetime always admits a fifteen parameter group of Ricci inheritance collineations; this is the maximal possible dimension for spacetime manifolds. The general form of the vector generating the symmetry is exhibited. It is also shown, in the generic case, that the group of Ricci collineations is six-dimensional and coincides with the isometry group.
