Some fundamental issues in General Relativity and their resolution
Sanjay M. Wagh
The purpose of this article is to draw attention to some fundamental issues in General Relativity. It is argued that these deep issues cannot be resolved within the standard approa…
Radially homothetic spacetime is of Petrov-type D
Sanjay M Wagh, Keshlan S Govinder
It is well-known \cite{mtbh} that {\em all} black hole solutions of General Relativity are of Petrov-type D. It may thus be expected that the spacetime of {\em physically realizabl…
What is the spacetime of {\em physically realizable} spherical collapse?
Sanjay M. Wagh, Ravindra V. Saraykar, Keshlan S. Govinder
We argue that a particular spacetime, a spherically symmetric spacetime with hyper-surface orthogonal, radial, homothetic Killing vector, is a physically meaningful spacetime that…
Classical formulation of Cosmic Censorship Hypothesis
Sanjay M. Wagh
Spacetimes admitting appropriate spatial homothetic Killing vectors are called spatially homothetic spacetimes. Such spacetimes conform to the fact that gravity has no length-scale…
Mach's Principle and Spatial Scale-Invariance of Gravity
Sanjay M Wagh
Gravity does not provide any scale for matter properties. We argue that this is also the implication of Mach's hypothesis of the relativity of inertia. The most general spacetime c…
Axially Symmetric, Spatially Homothetic Spacetimes
Sanjay M. Wagh, Keshlan S. Govinder
We show that the existence of appropriate spatial homothetic Killing vectors is directly related to the separability of the metric functions for axially symmetric spacetimes. The d…
