All fundamental electrically charged thin shells in general relativity: From star shells to tension shell black holes and regular black holes and beyond

José P. S. Lemos, Paulo Luz

We classify all fundamental electrically charged thin shells in general relativity, i.e., static spherically symmetric perfect fluid thin shells with a Minkowski spacetime interior…

Singularity theorems and the inclusion of torsion in affine theories of gravity

Paulo Luz, Filipe C. Mena

We extend the scope of the Raychaudhuri-Komar singularity theorem of General Relativity to affine theories of gravity with and without torsion. We first generalize the existing foc…

Static compact objects in Einstein-Cartan theory

Paulo Luz, Sante Carloni

We generalize the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations for space-times endowed with a Weyssenhoff like torsion field in the Einstein-Cartan theory. The new set of structure equatio…

Influence of intrinsic spin in the formation of singularities for inhomogeneous effective dust space-times

Paulo Luz, Filipe C. Mena, Amir Hadi Ziaie

The evolution of inhomogeneous space-times composed of uncharged fermions is studied for Szekeres metrics which have no Killing vectors, in general. Using the Einstein-Cartan theor…

Raychaudhuri equation in spacetimes with torsion

Paulo Luz, Vincenzo Vitagliano

Given a spacetime with nonvanishing torsion, we discuss the equation for the evolution of the separation vector between infinitesimally close curves in a congruence. We show that t…
