Black hole formation by a scalar field

The Liouville solution in General Relativity with a scalar field is discussed. This solution is invariant with respect to global Lorentz transformations, and dependence on time cannot be removed. If the scalar field potential is exponential and unbounded from below, the Liouville solution describes the formation of spherically symmetric black hole. The event horizon is a sphere, which appears with infinitesimal radius at a finite moment of time and afterwards expands with the velocity of light to infinity. A distant observer can measure the geometric defect at the point where the horizon appears. It is similar to the defect produced by the monopole or spherical dislocation of space-time. Comparison with the Schwarzschild solution yields the mass function which is proportional to the time squared.

Geodesics and Global Properties of the Liouville Solution in General Relativity with a Scalar Field

One parameter family of exact solutions in General Relativity with a scalar field has been found using the Liouville metric. The scalar field potential has exponential form. This model is interesting, because, in particular, the solution corresponding to the naked singularity provides smooth extension of the Friedmann universe with accelerated expansion through the zero of the scale factor back in time. All geodesics are found explicitly. Their analysis shows that the Liouville solutions are global ones: every geodesic is either continued to infinite value of the canonical parameter in both directions or ends up at the singularity at its finite value.

Was there a Big Bang?

New one parameter family of exact solutions in General Relativity with a scalar field is found. The metric is of Liouville type which admits complete separation of variables in the geodesic Hamilton-Jacobi equation. This solution exists for the exponential potential for a scalar field and is invariant with respect to global Lorentz transformations. It describes, in particular, evolution of the space-time with the naked singularity. Solutions corresponding to the naked singularity provide accelerating expansion of the homogeneous and isotropic Universe, and can be smoothly continued along geodesics to infinite past without Big Bang.

Global properties of warped solutions in General Relativity with an electromagnetic field and a cosmological constant. II

We consider general relativity with cosmological constant minimally coupled to the electromagnetic field and assume that the four-dimensional space-time manifold is a warped product of two surfaces with Lorentzian and Euclidean signature metrics. Field equations imply that at least one of the surfaces must be of constant curvature leading to the symmetry of the metric (``spontaneous symmetry emergence''). We classify all global solutions in the case when the Lorentzian surface is of constant curvature. These solutions are invariant with respect to the Lorentz SO(1,2) or Poincare IO(1,1) groups acting on the Lorentzian surface.

Global properties of warped solutions in General Relativity with electromagnetic field and cosmological constant

We consider general relativity with cosmological constant minimally coupled to electromagnetic field and assume that four-dimensional space-time manifold is the warped product of two surfaces with Lorentzian and Euclidean signature metrics. Einstein's equations imply that at least one of the surfaces must be of constant curvature. It means that the symmetry of the metric arises as the consequence of equations of motion (`spontaneous symmetry emergence'). We give classification of global solutions in two cases: (i) both surfaces are of constant curvature and (ii) the Riemannian surface is of constant curvature. The latter case includes spherically symmetric solutions (sphere S^2 with SO(3)-symmetry group), planar solutions (two-dimensional Euclidean space R^2 with IO(2)-symmetry group), and hyperbolic solutions (two-sheeted hyperboloid H^2 with SO(1,2)-symmetry). Totally, we get 37 topologically different solutions. There is a new one among them, which describes changing topology of space in time already at the classical level.
