Item A duality relation for fluid spacetime(2015-03-11) Dadhich, Naresh; Patel, L.K.; Tikekar, R.Item Domain walls in kaluza-klein spacetime(2015-03-01) Patel, L.K.; Dadhich, Naresh; Tikekar, R.Three families of exact solutions of Einstein field equations are found. Each family contains three parameters. Two of these families represent thick domain walls in a five dimensional Kaluza-Klein spacetime.The dynamical behaviour of our models is briefly discussed. The spacetime in all the cases is found to be reflection symmetric with respect to the wall.Item Higher dimensional analogue of McVittie solution(2015-03-01) Patel, L.K.; Tikekar, R.; Dadhich, NareshItem Exact solutions for null fluid collapse in higher dimensions(2015-03-01) Patel, L.K.; Dadhich, NareshA large family of inhomogeneous non-static spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein equation for null fluid in higher dimensions has been obtained. It encompasses higher dimensional versions of many previously known solutions such as Vaidya, charged Vaidya and Husain solutions and also some new solutions representing global monopole or string dust. It turns out that physical properties of the solutions carry over to higher dimensions.Item Gravoelectric-dual of the kerr solution(2015-03-01) Dadhich, Naresh; Patel, L.K.By decomposing the Riemann curvature into electric and magnetic parts, we define the gravoelectric duality transformation by interchange of active and passive electric parts which amounts to interchange of the Ricci and Einstein tensors. It turns out that the vacuum equation is duality-invariant. We obtain solutions dual to the Kerr solution by writing an effective vacuum equation in such a way that it still admits the Kerr solution but is not duality invariant. The dual equation is then solved to obtain the dual-Kerr solution which can be interpreted as the Kerr black hole sitting in a string dust universe.Item Global monopole as dual-vacuum solution in kaluza-klein spacetime(2015-03-01) Dadhich, Naresh; Patel, L.K.; Tikekar, R.By application of the duality transformation, which implies interchange of active and passive electric parts of the Riemann curvature (equivalent to interchange of Ricci and Einstein tensors) it is shown that the global monopole solution in the Kaluza-Klein spacetime is dual to the corresponding vacuum solution. Further we also obtain solution dual to flat space which would in general describe a massive global monopole in 4-dimensional Euclidean space and would have massless limit analogus to the 4-dimensional dual-flat solution.Item A simple shear-free-non-singular spherical model with heat flux(2015-03-01) Dadhich, Naresh; Patel, L.K.We obtain an exact simple solution of the Einstein equation describing a spherically symmetric cosmological model without the bigbang or any other kind of singularity. The matter content of the model is shear free isotropic fluid with radial heat flux and it satisfies the weak and strong energy conditions. It is pressure gradient combined with heat flux that prevents occurrence of singularity. So far all known non-singular models have non-zero shear. This is the first shear free non-singular model, which is also spherically symmetric.Item A class of cylindrically symmetric models in string cosmology(2015-02-09) Tikekar, R.; Patel, L.K.; Dadhich, NareshA new class of physically relevant explicit solutions for string cosmological models endowed with cylindrical symmetry on the background of singularity free cosmological space times have been obtained and their physical and the kinematical features are discussed. The matter free limits of this class of solutions are observed to be the singularity free vacuum solutions of Patel and Dadhich.Item Inhomogeneous cosmological models with heat flux(2015-02-07) Patel, L.K.; Tikekar, R.; Dadhich, NareshWe present a general class of inhomogeneous cosmological models filled with non-thermalized perfect fluid by assuming that the background spacetime admits two space-like commuting Killing vectors and has separable metric coefficients. The singularity structure of these models depends on the choice of the parameters and the metric functions, A number of previously known perfect fluid models follow as particular cases of this general class. Physical and geometrical features of these models are studied and the general expression for temperature distribution is givenItem String-dust in Einstein and godel universes(2015-01-27) Dadhich, Naresh; Patel, L.K.We consider the mixture of perfect fluid and string-dust and obtain string-dust generalization of the Einstein and godel universes.
