Geometric deformations of symmetric spacetimes with a string cloud

We establish a deformation framework for highly symmetric solutions to the Einstein equations. In this framework, four-dimensional metrics are constructed from three-dimensional η-Einstein metrics admitting a deformation determined by a single function. Under this deformation, the resulting spacetime solves the Einstein equations with a string-cloud source. Within this framework , a wide range of symmetric spacetimes can be treated in a unified manner. These include FLRW, Kantowski-Sachs, and LRS Bianchi cosmological models (including Taub-NUT-(A)dS solutions), as well as Reissner-Nordström-(A)dS black holes admitting spherical, planar, or hyperbolic symmetry. In the cosmological setting, the deformation leaves the evolution equations for the scale factors unchanged, and hence the expansion history coincides with that of the corresponding undeformed models. For the deformed Reissner-Nordström-(A)dS black holes, the structure of Killing horizons is insensitive to the deformation.

Spacetime constructed from a contact manifold with a degenerate metric

We construct a four-dimensional spacetime using a three-dimensional contact manifold equipped with a degenerate metric. The degenerate metric is set to be compatible with the contact structure. The compatibility condition is defined in this paper. Our construction yields a Ricci tensor of a particularly simple form, which leads to a solution of the Einstein equation with a null dust and cosmic strings. The solution includes two arbitrary functions: the energy density of the null dust and the number density of the cosmic strings. When there exist the cosmic strings, the spacetime is of Petrov type D. Otherwise, the spacetime is conformally flat. For some simple matter densities, we examine the Einstein equation in detail.

Nambu-Goto Strings with a null symmetry and contact structure

We study the classical dynamics of the Nambu-Goto strings with a null symmetry in curved spacetimes admitting a null Killing vector field. The Nambu-Goto equation is reduced to first order ordinary differential equations and is always integrable in contrast to the case of non-null symmetries where integrability requires additional spacetime symmetries. It is found that in the case of null symmetry, an almost contact structure associated with the metric dual 1-form $η$ of the null Killing vector field emerges naturally. This structure determines the allowed class of string worldsheets in such a way that the tangent vector fields of the worldsheet lie in $\ker \mathrm{d}η$. In the special case that the almost contact structure becomes a contact structure, its Reeb vector field completely characterizes the worldsheet. We apply our formulation to the strings in the pp-waves, the Einstein static universe and the Gödel universe. We also study their worldsheet geometry in detail.

Cohomogeneity-one-string integrability of spacetimes

We present a framework for reducing all possible cohomogeneity-one strings, i.e., strings with geometrical symmetry, in a given spacetime to mechanical systems, and for analyzing integrability of the systems. As applications, it is clarified whether the systems of cohomogeneity-one strings in $AdS_5$, $AdS_5 \times S^5$, and $AdS_5 \times T^{p,q}$ are integrable or not. This method may reveal a different type of hidden symmetry of spacetimes.

Antisymmetric tensor generalizations of affine vector fields

Tensor generalizations of affine vector fields called symmetric and antisymmetric affine tensor fields are discussed as symmetry of spacetimes. We review the properties of the symmetric ones, which have been studied in earlier works, and investigate the properties of the antisymmetric ones, which are the main theme in this paper. It is shown that antisymmetric affine tensor fields are closely related to one-lower-rank antisymmetric tensor fields which are parallelly transported along geodesics. It is also shown that the number of linear independent rank-$p$ antisymmetric affine tensor fields in $n$ dimensions is bounded by $(n+1)!/p!(n-p)!$. We also derive the integrability conditions for antisymmetric affine tensor fields. Using the integrability conditions, we discuss the existence of antisymmetric affine tensor fields on various spacetimes.

Relativistic Gravitational Collapse of a Cylindrical Shell of Dust II: Settling Down Boundary Condition

We numerically study the dynamics of an imploding hollow cylinder composed of dust. Since there is no cylindrical black hole in 4-dimensional spacetime with physically reasonable energy conditions, a collapsed dust cylinder involves a naked singularity accompanied by its causal future, or a fatal singularity which terminates the history of the whole universe. In a previous paper, the present authors have shown that if the dust is assumed to be composed of collisionless particles such that these particles go through the symmetry axis of the cylinder, then the scalar polynomial singularity formed on the symmetry axis is so weak that almost all of geodesics are complete, and thus effectively no singularity forms by the collapse of a hollow dust cylinder. By contrast, in this paper, we assume that whole of the collapsed dust settles down on the symmetry axis by changing its equation of state. Obtained solutions are the straightforward extension of Morgan's null dust solution, in which no gravitational radiation is emitted. However, in the present case with timelike dust, infinite amount of $C$-energy initially stored in the system is released through gravitational radiation. We also show that the gravitational waves asymptotically behave in a self-similar manner.

Kerr-Schild ansatz in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity: An exact vacuum solution in five dimensions

As is well-known, Kerr-Schild metrics linearize the Einstein tensor. We shall see here that they also simplify the Gauss-Bonnet tensor, which turns out to be only quadratic in the arbitrary Kerr-Schild function f when the seed metric is maximally symmetric. This property allows us to give a simple analytical expression for its trace, when the seed metric is a five dimensional maximally symmetric spacetime in spheroidal coordinates with arbitrary parameters a and b. We also write in a (fairly) simple form the full Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet tensor (with a cosmological term) when the seed metric is flat and the oblateness parameters are equal, a=b. Armed with these results we give in a compact form the solution of the trace of the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet field equations with a cosmological term and a different than b. We then examine whether this solution for the trace does solve the remaining field equations. We find that it does not in general, unless the Gauss-Bonnet coupling is such that the field equations have a unique maximally symmetric solution.

Charged Rotating Kaluza-Klein Black Holes Generated by G2(2) Transformation

Applying the G_{2(2)} generating technique for minimal D=5 supergravity to the Rasheed black hole solution, we present a new rotating charged Kaluza-Klein black hole solution to the five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons equations. At infinity, our solution behaves as a four-dimensional flat spacetime with a compact extra dimension and hence describes a Kaluza-Klein black hole. In particlar, the extreme solution is non-supersymmetric, which is contrast to a static case. Our solution has the limits to the asymptotically flat charged rotating black hole solution and a new charged rotating black string solution.

Boundary Value Problem for Black Rings

We study the boundary value problem for asymptotically flat stationary black ring solutions to the five-dimensional vacuum Einstein equations. Assuming the existence of two additional commuting axial Killing vector fields and the horizon topology of $S^1\times S^2$, we show that the only asymptotically flat black ring solution with a regular horizon is the Pomeransky-Sen'kov black ring solution.

Cosmological Black Holes on Taub-NUT space in Five-Dimensional Einstein-Maxwell Theory

The cosmological black hole solution on the Gibbons-Hawking space has been constructed. We also investigate the properties of this solution in the case of a single black hole. Unlike the Kastor-Traschen solution, which becomes static Reissner-Nortström de Sitter solution in a single black hole, this solution is not static even in a single black hole case.

Relativistic Gravitational Collapse of a Cylindrical Shell of Dust

The gravitational collapse of a thick cylindrical shell of dust matter is investigated. It is found that a spacetime singularity forms on the symmetry axis and that it is necessarily naked, i.e., observable in principle. We propose a physically reasonable boundary condition at this naked singularity to construct the solution including its causal future. This boundary condition enables us to construct the unique continuation of spacetime beyond the naked singularity and ensures that the dust shell passes through the naked singularity. When the cylindrical shell leaves its symmetry axis away, the naked singularity disappears, and regularity is recovered. We construct numerical solutions with this feature. This result implies that the gravity produced by a thick cylindrical shell of dust is too weak to bind the shell even if it engenders the formation of a curvature singularity which is so strong as to satisfy the limiting focusing condition. For this reason, this naked singularity is very weak in the extended spacetime; the metric tensor is $C^{1-}$ even at the naked singularity, and the extended spacetime is complete for almost all geodesics. This feature is also seen for singular hypersurfaces. Such an extended spacetime can be regarded as phenomenological in the sense that it is valid if the relevant microphysics length scale is sufficiently small compared to the scale of interest.

Vacuum solutions of five dimensional Einstein equations generated by inverse scattering method

We study stationary and axially symmetric two solitonic solutions of five dimensional vacuum Einstein equations by using the inverse scattering method developed by Belinski and Zakharov. In this generation of the solutions, we use five dimensional Minkowski spacetime as a seed. It is shown that if we restrict ourselves to the case of one angular momentum component, the generated solution coincides with a black ring solution with a rotating two sphere which was found by Mishima and Iguchi recently.

Gravitational Radiation from Cylindrical Naked Singularity

We construct an approximate solution which describes the gravitational emission from a naked singularity formed by the gravitational collapse of a cylindrical thick shell composed of dust. The assumed situation is that the collapsing speed of the dust is very large. In this situation, the metric variables are obtained approximately by a kind of linear perturbation analysis in the background Morgan solution which describes the motion of cylindrical null dust. The most important problem in this study is what boundary conditions for metric and matter variables should be imposed at the naked singularity. We find a boundary condition that all the metric and matter variables are everywhere finite at least up to the first order approximation. This implies that the spacetime singularity formed by this high-speed dust collapse is very similar to that formed by the null dust and thus the gravitational emission from a naked singularity formed by the cylindrical dust collapse can be gentle.

High-Speed Cylindrical Collapse of Perfect Fluid

The gravitational collapse of cylindrically distributed perfect fluid is studied. We assume the collapsing speed of fluid is very large and investigate such a situation by recently proposed high-speed approximation scheme. We show that if the value of the pressure divided by the energy density is bounded below by some positive value, the high-speed collapse is necessarily halted. This suggests that the collapsing perfect fluid of realistic ideal gas experiences the pressure bounce. However even in the case of mono-atomic ideal gas, arbitrarily large tidal force for freely falling observers are realizable by setting the initial collapsing velocity exceedingly large. In order that the high-speed collapse of cylindrical perfect fluid forms spacetime singularity, the equation of state should be very soft.

Mass and angular momenta of Kerr anti-de Sitter spacetimes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory

We compute the mass and angular momenta of rotating anti-de Sitter spacetimes in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravity using a superpotential derived from standard Noether identities. The calculation relies on the fact that the Einstein and Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet vacuum equations are the same when linearized on maximally symmetric backgrounds and uses the recently discovered D-dimensional Kerr-anti-de Sitter solutions to Einstein's equations.

High Speed Dynamics of Collapsing Cylindrical Dust Fluid

We construct approximate solutions that will describe the last stage of cylindrically symmetric gravitational collapse of dust fluid. Just before the spacetime singularity formation, the speed of the dust fluid might be almost equal to the speed of light by gravitational acceleration. Therefore the analytic solution describing the dynamics of cylindrical null dust might be the crudest approximate solution of the last stage of the gravitational collapse. In this paper, we regard this null dust solution as a background and perform `high-speed approximation' to know the gravitational collapse of ordinary timelike dust fluid; the `deviation of the timelike 4-velocity vector field from null' is treated as a perturbation. In contrast with the null dust approximation, our approximation scheme can describe the generation of gravitational waves in the course of the cylindrically symmetric dust collapse.

A boundary value problem for the five-dimensional stationary rotating black holes

We study the boundary value problem for the stationary rotating black hole solutions to the five-dimensional vacuum Einstein equation. Assuming the two commuting rotational symmetry and the sphericity of the horizon topology, we show that the black hole is uniquely characterized by the mass, and a pair of the angular momenta.
