高维广义Kundt时空

General Kundt spacetimes in higher dimensions

Jiri Podolsky, Martin Zofka

摘要:

我们调查的一般度量的Kundt类的时空在更高的维度。在几何上,它存在一个无扭、无剪、无扩张的测地线零同余。我们计算的曲率和Ricci张量的所有组件,而不假设任何具体的物质内容,并讨论代数类型和一般爱因斯坦的场方程所施加的主要几何约束。我们明确地推导出了在真空或可能是排列的电磁场的情况下,包含任意宇宙学常数的爱因斯坦-麦克斯韦方程组。最后,我们介绍了典型的子类的Kundt家庭,我们确定了最重要的特殊情况下,即广义PP波,VSI或CSI时空,回转子。

英文摘要:

We investigate a general metric of the Kundt class of spacetimes in higher dimensions. Geometrically, it admits a non-twisting, non-shearing and non-expanding geodesic null congruence. We calculate all components of the curvature and Ricci tensors, without assuming any specific matter content, and discuss algebraic types and main geometric constraints imposed by general Einstein's field equations. We explicitly derive Einstein-Maxwell equations, including an arbitrary cosmological constant, in the case of vacuum or possibly an aligned electromagnetic field. Finally, we introduce canonical subclasses of the Kundt family and we identify the most important special cases, namely generalised pp-waves, VSI or CSI spacetimes, and gyratons.
