Cylindrically and toroidally symmetric solutions with a cosmological constant

Jiri Podolsky, Jerry B. Griffiths

Cylindrical-like coordinates for constant-curvature 3-spaces are introduced and discussed. This helps to clarify the geometrical properties, the coordinate ranges and the meaning o…

Billiard in the space with a time machine

Jindrich Dolansky, Pavel Krtous

We study a system of an elastic ball moving in the non-relativistic spacetime with a nontrivial causal structure produced by a wormhole-based time machine. For such a system it is…

Kerr-Schild spacetimes with (A)dS background

Tomáš Málek, Vojtěch Pravda

General properties of Kerr-Schild spacetimes with (A)dS background in arbitrary dimension are studied. It is shown that the geodetic Kerr-Schild vector k is a multiple WAND of the…

On asymptotically flat solutions of Einstein's equations periodic in time II. Spacetimes with scalar-field sources

Jiří Bičák, Martin Scholtz, Paul Tod

We extend the work in our earlier article [4] to show that time-periodic, asymptotically-flat solutions of the Einstein equations analytic at scri, whose source is one of a range o…

Spherical Gravitating Condensers in General Relativity

Jiří Bičák, Norman Gürlebeck

By a spherical gravitating condenser we mean two concentric charged shells made of perfect fluids restricted by the condition that the electric field is nonvanishing only between t…

Rotating charged black holes accelerated by an electric field

Jiri Bicak, David Kofron

The Ernst method of removing nodal singularities from the charged C-metric representing uniformly accelerated black holes with mass , charge and acceleration by "adding"…

Gyratons on Melvin spacetime

Hedvika Kadlecova, Pavel Krtous

We present and analyze new exact gyraton solutions of algebraic type II on a background which is static, cylindrically symmetric Melvin universe of type D. For a vanishing electrom…

Photon rockets moving arbitrarily in any dimension

Jiri Podolsky

A family of explicit exact solutions of Einstein's equations in four and higher dimensions is studied which describes photon rockets accelerating due to an anisotropic emission of…

Refraction of geodesics by impulsive spherical gravitational waves in constant-curvature spacetimes with a cosmological constant

Jiri Podolsky, Robert Svarc

We investigate motion of test particles in exact spacetimes with an expanding impulsive gravitational wave which propagates in Minkowski, de Sitter or anti-de Sitter universe. Usin…

On asymptotically flat solutions of Einstein's equations periodic in time I. Vacuum and electrovacuum solutions

Jiri Bicak, Martin Scholtz, Paul Tod

By an argument similar to that of Gibbons and Stewart, but in a different coordinate system and less restrictive gauge, we show that any weakly-asymptotically-simple, analytic vacu…

Asymptotic properties of the C-Metric

Pavel Sladek, Daniel J. Finley

The aim of this article is to analyze the asymptotic properties of the C-metric, using a general method specified in work of Tafel and coworkers, [1], [2], [3]. By finding an appro…

The Linet-Tian solution with a positive cosmological constant in four and higher dimensions

J. B. Griffiths, J. Podolsky

The static, apparently cylindrically symmetric vacuum solution of Linet and Tian for the case of a positive cosmological constant is shown to have toroidal symmetry and, beside…

Existence of horizons in Robinson-Trautman spacetimes of arbitrary dimension

Otakar Svitek

We derive the higher dimensional generalization of Penrose-Tod equation describing past horizon in Robinson-Trautman spacetimes with a cosmological constant and pure radiation. Res…

Features of gravitational waves in higher dimensions

Otakar Svitek

There are several fundamental differences between four-dimensional and higher-dimensional gravitational waves, namely in the so called braneworld set-up. One of them is their asymp…
