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.

We argue that an arbitrary general relativistic static anisotropic fluid sphere, (static and spherically symmetric but with transverse pressure not equal to radial pressure), can nevertheless be successfully mimicked by suitable linear combinations of theoretically attractive and quite simple classical matter: a classical (charged) isotropic perfect fluid, a classical electromagnetic field and a classical (minimally coupled) scalar field. While the most general decomposition is not unique, a preferred minimal decomposition can be constructed that is unique. We show how the classical energy conditions for the anisotropic fluid sphere can be related to energy conditions for the isotropic perfect fluid, electromagnetic field, and scalar field components of the model. Furthermore, we show how this decomposition relates to the distribution of both electric charge density and scalar charge density throughout the model. The generalized TOV equation implies that the perfect fluid component in this model is automatically in internal equilibrium, with pressure forces, electric forces, and scalar forces balancing the gravitational pseudo-force. Consequently, we can build theoretically attractive matter models that can be used to mimic almost any static spherically symmetric spacetime.

We study space–times having spherically symmetric anisotropic fluid with self-similarity of zeroth kind. We find a class of solutions to the Einstein field equations by assuming a shear-free metric and that the fluid moves along time-like geodesics. The energy conditions, and geometrical and physical properties of the solutions are studied and we find that it can be considered as representing an accelerating universe. At the beginning all the energy conditions were fulfilled but beyond a certain time (a maximum geometrical radius) none of them is satisfied, characterizing a transition from normal matter (dark matter, baryon matter and radiation) to dark energy.

In this paper, we investigate anisotropic fluid cosmology in a situation where the space–time metric back-reacts in a local, time-dependent way to the presence of inhomogeneities. We derive exact solutions to the Einstein field equations describing Friedmann–Lemaítre–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) large-scale cosmological evolution in the presence of local inhomogeneities and time-dependent backreaction. We use our derivation to tackle the cosmological constant problem. A cosmological constant emerges by averaging the backreaction term on spatial scales of the order of 100 Mpc, at which our universe begins to appear homogeneous and isotropic. We find that the order of magnitude of the “emerged” cosmological constant agrees with astrophysical observations and is related in a natural way to baryonic matter density. Thus, there is no coincidence problem in our framework.

The field-equations of gravitation in Einstein's theory have been solved in the case of an empty space, giving rise to de Sitter's spherical world. In the case of homogeneous matter filling all space, the solution gives Einstein's cylindrical world. The field corresponding to an isolated particle has been obtained by Schwarzchild. He has also obtained a solution for a fluid sphere with uniform density, a problem treated also by Nordström and de Donder. A new solution of the gravitational equations has been obtained in this paper, which corresponds to the field of a heterogeneous fluid sphere, the density at any point being a certain function of the distance of the point from the centre. The law of density is quite simple and such as to give finite density at the centre and gradually diminishing values as the distance from the centre increases, as might be expected of a natural sphere of fluid of large radius. The general problem of the fluid sphere with any arbitrary law of density cannot be solved in exact terms. It will be seen, however, from a theorem obtained in this paper, that the solution depends on a linear differential equation of the second order with variable coefficients involving the density, and thus the laws of density for which the problem admits of exact solution are those for which the above coefficients satisfy the conditions of integrability of the differential equation. An approximate solution for any law of density may be obtained by the method of series.

In this paper, we present new physically viable interior solutions of the Einstein field equations for static and spherically symmetric anisotropic compact stars satisfying the Karmarkar condition. For presenting the exact solutions, we provide a new suitable form of one of the metric potential functions. Obtained solutions satisfy all the physically acceptable properties of realistic fluid spheres and hence solutions are well-behaved and representing matter distributions are in equilibrium state and potentially stable by satisfying the TOV equation and the condition on stability factor, adiabatic indices. We analyze the solutions for two well-known compact stars Vela X-1 (Mass = 1.77 M[Formula: see text], R = 9.56 km) and Cen X-3 (Mass = 1.49 M[Formula: see text], R = 9.17 km).

Anisotropic fluid with self-similarity of the second kind in (2 + 1)-dimensional space–times with circular symmetry is studied. By imposing the condition that the radial pressure vanishes, we show that the only allowed solutions are the ones that represent dust fluid. All such solutions to the Einstein field equations are found and their local and global properties are studied in detail. It is found that some can be interpreted as representing gravitational collapse, in which both naked singularities and black holes can be formed.

We study the evolution of an anisotropic fluid with kinematic self-similarity of the second kind. We found a class of solution to the Einstein field equations by assuming an equation of state where the radial pressure of the fluid is proportional to its energy density (pr = ωρ) and that the fluid moves along time-like geodesics. The self-similarity requires ω = -1. The energy conditions, geometrical and physical properties of the solutions are studied. We have found that, depending on the self-similar parameter α, they may represent a black hole or a naked singularity.

We study spacetimes of spherically symmetric anisotropic fluid with homothetic self-similarity. We find a class of solutions to the Einstein field equations by assuming that the tangential pressure of the fluid is proportional to its radial one and that the fluid moves along time-like geodesics. The energy conditions, and geometrical and physical properties of these solutions are studied and found that some of them represent gravitational collapse of an anisotropic fluid.
