Expansion-Free Evolving Spheres Must Have Inhomogeneous Energy Density Distributions

arXiv:0903.4774 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.79.087505

Abstract

In a recent paper a systematic study on shearing expansion-free spherically symmetric distributions was presented. As a particular case of such systems, the Skripkin model was mentioned, which corresponds to a nondissipative perfect fluid with a constant energy density. Here we show that such a model is inconsistent with junction conditions. It is shown that in general for any nondissipative fluid distribution, the expansion-free condition requires the energy density to be inhomogeneous. As an example we consider the case of dust, which allows for a complete integration.
