The Maxwell and Navier-Stokes that Follow from Einstein Equation in a Spacetime Containing a Killing Vector Field

In this paper we are concerned to reveal that any spacetime structure \slg ,D,τ_{[sg] \sslg },\uparrow>, which is a model of a gravitational field in General Relativity generated by an energy-momentum tensor T --- and which contains at least one nontrivial Killing vector field A --- is such that the 2-form field F=dA (where A=[g] \slg (A,)) satisfies a Maxwell like equation --- with a well determined current that contains a term of the superconducting type--- which follows directly from Einstein equation. Moreover, we show that the resulting Maxwell like equations, under an additional condition imposed to the Killing vector field, may be written as a Navier-Stokes like equation as well. As a result, we have a set consisting of Einstein, Maxwell and Navier-Stokes equations that follows sequentially from the first one under precise mathematical conditions and once some identifications about field variables are evinced, as detailed explained throughout the text. We compare and emulate our results with others on the same subject appearing in the literature.

Where are ELKO Spinor Fields in Lounesto Spinor Field Classification?

This paper proves that from the algebraic point of view ELKO spinor fields belong together with Majorana spinor fields to a wider class of spinor fields, the so-called flagpole spinor fields, corresponding to the class 5, according to Lounesto spinor field classification. The main algebraic difference between ELKO and Majorana spinor fields is that in the first case their respective two 2-component spinor fields present opposite helicities, while in the second case the helicity associated with the two 2-component of ELKO are not imposed to be flipped. The proof of our statement is based on Lounesto general classification of all spinor fields, according to the relations and values taken by their associated bilinear covariants, and can shed some new light on the algebraic investigations concerning dark matter.
