Spherically symmetric solutions of the $\lambda$-R model

Abstract

We derive spherically symmetric solutions of the classical λ-R model, a minimal, anisotropic modification of general relativity with a preferred foliation and two local degrees of freedom. Starting from a 3 + 1 decomposition of the four-metric in a general spherically symmetric ansatz, we perform a phase space analysis of the reduced model. We show that its constraint algebra is consistent with that of the full λ-R model, and also yields a constant mean curvature or maximal slicing condition as a tertiary constraint. Although the solutions contain the standard Schwarzschild geometry for the general relativistic value λ= 1 or for vanishing mean extrinsic curvature K, they are in general non-static, incompatible with asymptotic flatness and parametrized not only by a conserved mass. We show by explicit computation that the four-dimensional Ricci scalar of the solutions is in general time-dependent and nonvanishing.
