Geodesic Equations Of Motion

In this study, we obtain Noether gauge symmetries of geodesic motion for geodesic Lagrangian of stationary and nonstatic Gödel-type spacetimes, and find the first integrals of corresponding spacetimes to derive a complete characterization of the geodesic motion. Using the obtained expressions for [Formula: see text] of each spacetimes, we explicitly integrate the geodesic equations of motion for the corresponding stationary and nonstatic Gödel-type spacetimes.

Geodesic Equations Of Motion

Dirac's constraint analysis and the symplectic structure of geodesic equations are obtained for the general cylindrically symmetric stationary spacetime. For this metric, using the obtained first order Lagrangian, the geodesic equations of motion are integrated, and found some solutions for Lewis, Levi-Civita, and Van Stockum spacetimes.

Two Bodies

This chapter embarks on a study of the two-body problem in general relativity. In other words, it seeks to describe the motion of two compact, self-gravitating bodies which are far-separated and moving slowly. It limits the discussion to corrections proportional to v2 ~ m/R, the so-called post-Newtonian or 1PN corrections to Newton’s universal law of attraction. The chapter first examines the gravitational field, that is, the metric, created by the two bodies. It then derives the equations of motion, and finally the actual motion, that is, the post-Keplerian trajectories, which generalize the post-Keplerian geodesics obtained earlier in the chapter.

Main Ideas

A new approach in studying the planetary orbits and deflection of light in General Relativity (GR) by means of the Variational iteration method (VIM) is proposed in this paper. For this purpose, a brief review of the nonlinear geodesic equations in the spherical symmetry spacetime and the main ideas of VIM are given. The appropriate correct functionals are constructed for the geodesics in the spacetime of Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordström and Kiselev black holes. In these cases, the Lagrange multiplier is obtained from the stationary conditions for the correct functionals. Then, VIM leads to the simple problem of computation of the integrals in order to obtain the approximate solutions of the geodesic equations. On the basis of these approximate solutions, the perihelion shift and the light deflection have been obtained for the metrics mentioned above.

It is shown how to obtain, within the general theory of relativity, equations of motion for two oscillating masses at the ends of a spring of given law of force. The method of Einstein, Infeld & Hoffmann is used, and the force in the spring is represented by a stress singularity. The detailed calculations are taken to the Newtonian order.

Hyperbolic formulations of the equations of motion are essential technique for proving the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem of a system, and are also helpful for implementing stable long time evolution in numerical applications. We, here, present three kinds of hyperbolic systems in the Ashtekar formulation of general relativity for Lorentzian vacuum spacetime. We exhibit several (I) weakly hyperbolic, (II) diagonalizable hyperbolic, and (III) symmetric hyperbolic systems, with each their eigenvalues. We demonstrate that Ashtekar's original equations form a weakly hyperbolic system. We discuss how gauge conditions and reality conditions are constrained during each step toward constructing a symmetric hyperbolic system.

We study the possibility to explain the mystery of the dark matter (DM) through the transition from General Relativity to embedding gravity. This modification of gravity, which was proposed by Regge and Teitelboim, is based on a simple string-inspired geometrical principle: our spacetime is considered here as a four-dimensional surface in a flat bulk. We show that among the solutions of embedding gravity, there is a class of solutions equivalent to solutions of GR with an additional contribution of non-relativistic embedding matter, which can serve as cold DM. We prove the stability of such type of solutions and obtain an explicit form of the equations of motion of embedding matter in the non-relativistic limit. According to them, embedding matter turns out to have a certain self-interaction, which could be useful in the context of solving the core-cusp problem that appears in the [Formula: see text]CDM model.
