5-Dimensional Space-Periodic Solutions of the Static Vacuum Einstein Equations
5-DIMENSIONAL SPACE-PERIODIC SOLUTIONS OF THE STATIC VACUUM EINSTEIN EQUATIONS MARCUS KHURI, GILBERT WEINSTEIN, AND SUMIO YAMADA Abstract. An affirmative answer is given to a conjecture of Myers concerning the existence of 5-dimensional regular static vacuum solutions that balance an infinite number of black holes, which have Kasner asymp- totics. A variety of examples are constructed, having different combinations of ring S1 × S2 and sphere S3 cross-sectional horizon topologies. Furthermore, we show the existence of 5-dimensional vacuum solitons with Kasner asymptotics. These are regular static space-periodic vacuum spacetimes devoid of black holes. Consequently, we also obtain new examples of complete Riemannian manifolds of nonnegative Ricci cur- vature in dimension 4, and zero Ricci curvature in dimension 5, having arbitrarily large as well as infinite second Betti number. 1. Introduction The Majumdar-Papapetrou solutions [14, 16] of the 4D Einstein-Maxwell equations show that gravi- tational attraction and electro-magnetic repulsion may be balanced in order to support multiple black holes in static equilibrium. In [15], Myers generalized these solutions to higher dimensions, and also showed that such balancing is also possible for vacuum black holes in 4 dimensions if an infinite number are aligned properly in a periodic fashion along an axis of symmetry; these 4-dimensional solutions were later rediscovered by Korotkin and Nicolai in [11]. Although the Myers-Korotkin-Nicolai solutions are not asymptotically flat, but rather asymptotically Kasner, they play an integral part in an extended version of static black hole uniqueness given by Peraza and Reiris [17]. It was conjectured in [15] that these vac- uum solutions could be generalized to higher dimensions, possibly with black holes of nontrivial topology. -

A Domain Wall Solution by Perturbation of the Kasner Spacetime
A Domain Wall Solution by Perturbation of the Kasner Spacetime George Kotsopoulos 1906-373 Front St. West, Toronto, ON M5V 3R7 [email protected] and Charles C. Dyer Dept. of Physical and Environmental Sciences, University of Toronto Scarborough, and Dept. of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada [email protected] January 24, 2012 Received ; accepted arXiv:1201.5362v1 [gr-qc] 25 Jan 2012 –2– Abstract Plane symmetric perturbations are applied to an axially symmetric Kasner spacetime which leads to no momentum flow orthogonal to the planes of symme- try. This flow appears laminar and the structure can be interpreted as a domain wall. We further extend consideration to the class of Bianchi Type I spacetimes and obtain corresponding results. Subject headings: general relativity, Kasner metric, Bianchi Type I, domain wall, perturbation –3– 1. Finding New Solutions There are three principal exact solutions to the Einstein Field Equations (EFE) that are most relevant for the description of astrophysical phenomena. They are the Schwarzschild (internal and external), Kerr and Friedman-LeMaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) models. These solutions are all highly idealized and involve the introduction of simplifying assumptions such as symmetry. The technique we use which has led to a solution of the EFE involves the perturbation of an already symmetric solution (Wilson and Dyer 2007). Whereas standard perturbation techniques involve specifying the forms of the energy-momentum tensor to determine the form of the metric, we begin by defining a new metric with an applied perturbation: gab =g ˜ab + hab (1) where g˜ab is a known symmetric metric and hab is the applied perturbation. -
Isometric Embeddings in Cosmology and Astrophysics
PRAMANA c Indian Academy of Sciences Vol. 77, No. 3 — journal of September 2011 physics pp. 415–428 Isometric embeddings in cosmology and astrophysics GARETH AMERY∗, JOTHI MOODLEY and JAMES PAUL LONDAL Astrophysics and Cosmology Research Unit, School of Mathematical Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Private Bag X54001, Durban 4000, South Africa ∗Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Recent interest in higher-dimensional cosmological models has prompted some signifi- cant work on the mathematical technicalities of how one goes about embedding spacetimes into some higher-dimensional space. We survey results in the literature (existence theorems and simple explicit embeddings); briefly outline our work on global embeddings as well as explicit results for more com- plex geometries; and provide some examples. These results are contextualized physically, so as to provide a foundation for a detailed commentary on several key issues in the field such as: the mean- ing of ‘Ricci equivalent’ embeddings; the uniqueness of local (or global) embeddings; symmetry inheritance properties; and astrophysical constraints. Keywords. Embedding theory; cosmology; astrophysics. PACS Nos 04.20.Jb, 04.20.Ex, 04.50.−h 1. Introduction Extensions to general relativity often involve extra dimensions. Inspired by string theory [1], D-brane theory [2] and Horava–Witten theory [3], there has been a great deal of inter- est in extra-dimensional effective theories, evidenced by phenomenological models such as the Randall–Sundrum [4], Arkani–Hamed–Dimopoulos–Dvali [5] and Dvali–Gabadadze– Porrati [6] scenarios, which attempt to tackle problems such as the mass-hierarchy problem, the origins of the primordial spectrum, the inflationary field and dark energy. -

Particle Production in the Central Rapidity Region
LA-UR-92-3856 November, 1992 Particle production in the central rapidity region F. Cooper,1 J. M. Eisenberg,2 Y. Kluger,1;2 E. Mottola,1 and B. Svetitsky2 1Theoretical Division and Center for Nonlinear Studies Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545 USA 2School of Physics and Astronomy Raymond and Beverly Sackler Faculty of Exact Sciences Tel Aviv University, 69978 Tel Aviv, Israel ABSTRACT We study pair production from a strong electric ¯eld in boost- invariant coordinates as a simple model for the central rapidity region of a heavy-ion collision. We derive and solve the renormal- ized equations for the time evolution of the mean electric ¯eld and current of the produced particles, when the ¯eld is taken to be a function only of the fluid proper time ¿ = pt2 z2. We ¯nd that a relativistic transport theory with a Schwinger¡source term mod- i¯ed to take Pauli blocking (or Bose enhancement) into account gives a good description of the numerical solution to the ¯eld equations. We also compute the renormalized energy-momentum tensor of the produced particles and compare the e®ective pres- sure, energy and entropy density to that expected from hydrody- namic models of energy and momentum flow of the plasma. 1 Introduction A popular theoretical picture of high-energy heavy-ion collisions begins with the creation of a flux tube containing a strong color electric ¯eld [1]. The ¯eld energy is converted into particles as qq¹ pairs and gluons are created by the Schwinger tunneling mechanism [2, 3, 4]. The transition from this quantum tunneling stage to a later hydrodynamic stage has previously been described phenomenologically using a kinetic theory model in which a rel- ativistic Boltzmann equation is coupled to a simple Schwinger source term [5, 6, 7, 8]. -

None of this would have been possible were it not for the wisdom and guidance of my supervisor Peter Szekeres. I have often pondered over the difficulty of supervising students. It must be heart-bleaking to watch as students make necessary mistakes. Patience I'm sure must be the key' So for his wisdom, patience and kindness I am deeply indebted to Peter Szekeres. Without the love and support of my family this thesis would never have begun, much less been completed, to them I owe my life, and all that comes with it. It would take too long to write the names of all those I wish to thank. Those who are special to me, have helped me through so much over the years will receive the thanks in Person. I would like to the department of physics here at Adelaide where most of my thesis work was done. I would like to thank the department of physics at Melbourne university, where I did my undergraduate degree and began my PhD.

Anisotropic expansion, second order hydrodynamics and holographic dual Priyanka Priyadarshini Pruseth 1 and Swapna Mahapatra Department of Physics, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar 751004, India. [email protected] , [email protected] Abstract We consider Kasner space-time describing anisotropic three dimensional expan- sion of RHIC and LHC fireball and study the generalization of Bjorken’s one dimensional expansion by taking into account second order relativistic viscous hydrodynamics. Using time dependent AdS/CFT correspondence, we study the late time behaviour of the Bjorken flow. From the conditions of conformal invariance and energy-momentum conservation, we obtain the explicit expres- sion for the energy density as a function of proper time in terms of Kasner parameters. The proper time dependence of the temperature and entropy have also been obtained in terms of Kasner parameters. We consider Eddington- Finkelstein type coordinates and discuss the gravity dual of the anisotropically expanding fluid in the late time regime. arXiv:2008.13699v3 [hep-th] 18 Mar 2021 1Present address: Department of Physics, Vesaj Patel College, Sundargarh, India 1 Introduction AdS/CFT correspondence has provided a very important tool for studying the strongly coupled dynamics in a class of superconformal field theories, in particular, = 4 super N Yang-Mills theory and the corresponding gravity dual description in AdS space-time [1, 2]. One of the fundamental question in the field of high energy physics is to understand the properties of matter at extreme density and temperature in the first few microseconds after the big bang. Such a state of matter is known as Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) state where the quarks and the gluons are in deconfined state. -

Abstract The ultralocal representation of the canonical^ ly quantized gravitational field is used to obtain the evolution of coherent states in the immediate neighborhood of the singulari- ty. It is shown that smearing functions play the role of classical fields since they correspond to cosrnological solutions around the singularity. A special class of ultralocal coherent states is shown to contain the essential aspects of the dynamics of the system when we choose a simple representation for the field operators of the theory. When the ultralocality condition is broken a conjec- ture will be made about the quantum evolution of coherent states in the classical limit. i-í .

DO ROTATING DUST STARS EXIST IN GENERAL RELATIVITY? Herbert Pfister Institut f¨ur Theoretische Physik, Universit¨at T¨ubingen, Auf der Morgenstelle 14, D 72076 T¨ubingen, Germany E-mail: herbert.pfi[email protected] Abstract If rotating dust stars would exist in general relativity, they would represent ex- amples of an improbable complete balance between the attractive quasi-Newtonian force (gravitoelectricity) and the repulsive gravitomagnetism. However, nonexis- tence proofs are available hitherto only for some dust “stars” extending to infinity, and for isolated dust stars of a very restricted class. By analyzing the lines of con- stant generalized Newtonian potential U in the interior and exterior of a large class of (hypothetical) stationary and axisymmetrically rotating dust stars in general rel- ativity, we find that the existence of such stars can be disproved as soon as minima of the potential U in the exterior vacuum region can be excluded.
