Herein we obtain an exact solution for cylindrically symmetric modified Gauss–Bonnet gravity. This metric is a generalization of the vacuum solution of Levi–Civita in general relativity. It describes an isotropic perfect fluid one-parameter family of the gravitational configurations, which can be interpreted as the exterior metric of a cosmic string. By setting the Gauss–Bonnet coupling parameter to zero, we recover the vacuum solution in the Einstein gravity as well.

This chapter devotes equal attention to special relativity and general relativity. It first describes the history of the analysis of distant simultaneity, up to and including Einstein's procedure in his revolutionary 1905 paper which introduced special relativity. In particular, the discussion relates Einstein's procedure to the ensuing philosophical debate about whether distant simultaneity is a matter of convention. As to general relativity, the discussion gives a brief sketch of Einstein's path towards his discovery of general relativity. Thereafter, it focuses on the topological structure of time or, more precisely, of timelike lines (worldlines) in spacetime. It discusses the closed timelike lines first found in an exact solution of general relativity by Godel; and the open timelike geodesics that get arbitrarily close to the initial singularity (Big Bang) in a Friedmann solution.

Bending Of Light

The gravitational bending of light in the framework of conformal gravity is considered where an exact solution for null geodesics in the Mannheim-Kazanas is obtained. The linear coefficient γ characteristic to conformal gravity is shown to contribute enhanced deflection compared to the angle predicted by General Relativity for small γ. We also briefly consider gravitational lensing in covariant emergent gravity.

Spherically Symmetric Distribution

An exact solution of the field equations of general relativity is obtained for a static, spherically symmetric distribution of charge and mass which can be matched with the Reissner–Nordström metric at the boundary. The self-energy contributions to the total gravitational mass are computed retaining only the first order terms in the gravitational constant.

Anisotropic Fluid Sphere

In this paper the field equations of general relativity are solved to obtain an exact solution for a static anisotropic fluid sphere. The solution is free from singularity and satisfies the necessary physical requirements. The physical 3-space of the solution is pseudo-spheroidal. The solution is matched at the boundary with the Schwarzschild exterior solution. Numerical estimates of various physical parameters are briefly discussed.

Strong coupling expansion is computed for the Einstein equations in vacuum in the Arnowitt–Deser–Misner (ADM) formalism. The series is given by the duality principle in perturbation theory as presented in M. Frasca, Phys. Rev. A58, 3439 (1998). An example of application is also given for a two-dimensional model of gravity expressed through the Liouville equation showing that the expansion is not trivial and consistent with the exact solution, in agreement with the general analysis. Application to the Einstein equations in vacuum in the ADM formalism shows that the space–time near singularities is driven by space homogeneous equations.
