ABSTRACT We present the moving-mesh general relativistic hydrodynamics solver for static space–times as implemented in the code, MANGA. Our implementation builds on the architectures of MANGA and the numerical relativity python package NRPy+. We review the general algorithm to solve these equations and, in particular, detail the time-stepping; Riemann solution across moving faces; conversion between primitive and conservative variables; validation and correction of hydrodynamic variables; and mapping of the metric to a Voronoi moving-mesh grid. We present test results for the numerical integration of an unmagnetized Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff star for 24 dynamical times. We demonstrate that at a resolution of 106 mesh generating points, the star is stable and its central density drifts downwards by 2 per cent over this time-scale. At a lower resolution, the central density drift increases in a manner consistent with the adopted second-order spatial reconstruction scheme. These results agree well with the exact solutions, and we find the error behaviour to be similar to Eulerian codes with second-order spatial reconstruction. We also demonstrate that the new code recovers the fundamental mode frequency for the same TOV star but with its initial pressure depleted by 10 per cent.

We explore the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric dust cloud in the Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity without a cosmological constant, and obtain three families of LTB-like solutions. It is shown that the Gauss–Bonnet term has a profound influence on the nature of singularities, and the global structure of spacetime changes drastically from the analogous general relativistic case. Interestingly, the formation of a naked, massive and uncentral singularity, allowed in five-dimensional spacetime, is forbidden if D≥6. Moreover, such singularity is gravitational strong and a serious counterexample to CCH.

We exhibit a classical lepton model based on a perfect fluid that reproduces leptonic charges and masses in arbitrarily small volumes without metric singularities or pressure discontinuities. This solution is the first of this kind to our knowledge, because to date the only classical general relativistic models that have reproduced leptonic charges and masses in arbitrarily small volumes are based on imperfect (anisotopic) fluids or perfect fluids with electric field discontinuities. We use a Maxwell–Einstein exact metric for a spherically symmetric static perfect fluid in a region in which the pressure vanishes at a boundary, beyond which the metric is of the Reissner–Nordström form. This construction models lepton mass and charge in the limit as the boundary → 0.
