The LRS Bianchi type-I perfect fluids space-times

An algorithm is derived for constructing spatially-homogeneous perfect fluid solutions of Einstein's field equations which are of Bianchi type-I and are locally rotationally-symmetric. Starting from Bayin and Krisch solution a new exact solution is obtained. Some physical and kinematic properties of the cosmological model are discussed.     

A Method for locating Singularities in the Complex Time Domain for Integrable Dynamical Systems

A simple method for the determination of the position of singularities in the complex time domain for dynamical systems which are described by ordinary differential equations is presented. The method is designed for integrable separable systems whose solutions are not expressible in closed form. A direct consequence of this method is that it ‘closes’ the phase space. Simple physical meaning is given to the singularity position. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Bianchi type-V cosmological model with purely magnetic solution

In the present paper we study some new aspects of the Bianchi type-V space time. The Electric and Magnetic parts of Weyl tensors are calculated in terms of tilted congruence and discussed the purely magnetic Weyl tensor. Einstein field equations for purely magnetic space time are obtained and solution of such field equations called purely magnetic solution. To get deterministic solutions of the field equations we consider a new law of variation of average scale factor which yields time dependent deceleration parameter. Certain physical and geometrical properties of the model are also discussed.     

Steady and Time-Dependent MHD Modelling of Jets

A brief review is given of some results of our work on the construction of (I) steady and (II) time-dependent MHD models for nonrelativistic and relativistic astrophysical outflows and jets, analytically and numerically. The only available exact solutions for MHD outflows are those in separable coordinates, i.e., with the symmetry of radial or meridional self-similarity. Physically accepted solutions pass from the fast magnetosonic separatrix surface in order to satisfy MHD causality. An energetic criterion is outlined for selecting radially expanding winds from cylindrically expanding jets. Numerical simulations of magnetic self-collimation verify the conclusions of analytical steady solutions. We also propose a two-component model consisting of a wind outflow from a central object and a faster rotating outflow launched from a surrounding accretion disk which plays the role of the flow collimator. We also discuss the problem of shock formation during the magnetic collimation of wind-type outflows into jets.     

The structure of black hole magnetospheres I. Schwarzschild black holes

We introduce a multipolar scheme for describing the structure of stationary, axisymmetric, force-free black hole magnetospheres in the '3+1' formalism. We focus here on Schwarzschild spacetime, giving a complete classification of the separable solutions of the stream equation. We show a transparent term-by-term analogy of our solutions with the familiar multipoles of flat-space electrodynamics. We discuss electrodynamic processes around disc-fed black holes in which our solutions find natural applications: (i) 'interior' solutions in studies of the BlandfordZnajek process of extracting the rotational energy of holes, and of the formation of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei and 'microquasars'; (ii) 'exterior' solutions in studies of accretion disc dynamos, disc-driven winds and jets. On the strength of existing numerical studies, we argue that the poloidal field structures found here are also expected to hold with good accuracy for rotating black holes, except for the cases of the maximum possible rotation rates. We show that the closed-loop exterior solutions found here are not in contradiction with the MacdonaldThorne theorem, as these solutions, which diverge logarithmically on the horizon of the hole , only apply to those regions that exclude .     

Chemically reacting flow of a compressible thermally radiating two-component plasma

The paper studies the compressible flow of a hot two-component plasma in the presence of gravitation and chemical reaction in a vertical channel. For the optically thick gas approximation, closed form analytical solutions are possible. Asymptotic solutions are also obtained for the general differential approximation when the temperatures of the two bounding walls are the same. In the general case the problem is reduced to the solution of standard nonlinear integral equations which can be tackled by iterative precedure. The results are discussed quantitatively. The problem may be applicable to the understanding of explosive hydrogen-burning model of solar flares.     

Approximate General Solution Of The Two-Dimensional Duffing Dynamical System

This paper presents the approximate general solution of the triple well, double oscillator non-linear dynamical system. This system is non-integrable and the approximate general solution is calculated by application of the Last Geometric Theorem of Poincaré (Birkhoff, 1913, 1925). The original problem, known as the Duffing one, is a 1 degree of freedom system that, besides the conservative force component, includes dumping and external forcing terms (see details in the web site: http://www.uncwil.edu/people/hermanr/chaos/ted/chaos.html). The problem considered here is a 2 degree of freedom, autonomous and conservative one, without dumping, and of axisymmetric potential. The space of permissible motions is scanned for identification of all solutions re-entering after from one to nine oscillations and the precise families of periodic solutions are computed, including their stability parameter, covering all cases with periods T corresponding to 4osc/T. Seven sub-domains of the space of solutions were investigated in detail by zooming, an operation that proved the possibility to advance the accuracy of the approximate general solution to the level permitted by the integration routine. The approximation of the general solution, although impressive, provides clear evidence of the complexity of the problem and the need to proceed to larger period families. Nevertheless, it allows prediction of the areas where chaos and order regions in the Poincaré surfaces of section are to be expected. Examples of such surfaces of sections, as well as of types of closed solutions, are given. Two peculiar points of the space of solutions were identified as crossing, or source points from which infinite families of periodic solutions emanate. The morphology and stability of solutions of the problem are studied and discussed.     

Universe with Time Dependent Deceleration Parameter and Λ Term in General Relativity

A new class of exact solutions of Einstein's field equations with perfect fluid for an LRS Bianchi type-I spacetime is obtained by using a time dependent deceleration parameter. We have obtained a general solution of the field equations from which three models of the universe are derived: exponential, polynomial and sinusoidal form respectively. The behaviour of these models of the universe are also discussed in the frame of reference of recent supernovae Ia observations.     

Cosmological scalar fields that mimic the ΛCDM cosmological model

We look for cosmologies with a scalar field (dark energy without cosmological constant), which mimic the standard ΛCDM cosmological model yielding exactly the same large-scale geometry described by the evolution of the Hubble parameter (i.e. photometric distance and angular diameter distance as functions on z). Asymptotic behavior of the field solutions is studied in the case of spatially flat Universe with pressureless matter and separable scalar field Lagrangians; the cases of power-law kinetic term and power-law potential are considered. Exact analytic solutions are found in some special cases. A number of models have the field solutions with infinite behavior in the past or even singular behavior at finite redshifts. We point out that introduction of the cosmological scalar field involves some degeneracy leading to lower precision in determination of Ω _m . To remove this degeneracy additional information is needed besides the data on large-scale geometry. The article is published in the original.     

Unique solutions of solar wind models with thermal conductivity

The solutions of a radially symmetrical solar wind model with thermal conductivity are discussed in the neighborhood of the loci of the critical points, called the critical line, and at infinity. It is shown that for constant mass and total energy flux the conditions at infinity are related uniquely to the conditions at the critical line. Furthermore the requirement that the solution is continuous and has the proper behavior at infinity will determine uniquely one specific point on the critical line through which the solution has to pass.Operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under contract with the National Science Foundation.

Theoretische Betrachtungen zum Verhalten des Magnetfeldes in einem sphärischen Erdmodell

The theoreticl treatment of several geophysical problems presupposes the solution of field equations of the magnetic field in the Earth's mantle. The field equations are given in a scalar form for a spherical model of the Earth. It will be shown that analytical solutions are possible in all cases. The boundary conditions are discussed with regard to the dynamo process in the Earth's core and the existence of a field representation, which is investigated on the Earth's surface. The question is discussed, to what extend the mantle's field is given by this field representation, when some special assumptions about the Earth's model are made.     

Vacuum Friedmann models in self-creation cosmology

The vacuum Friedmann models are investigated in self-creation theory of gravitation proposed by Barber. New solutions are obtained forK=±1, and some properties of the solutions are discussed. Only theK=0 solution in self-creation cosmology was previously shown.     

Periodic solutions about the collinear lagrangian solution in the general problem of three bodies

The article describes the solutions near Lagrange's circular collinear configuration in the planar problem of three bodies with three finite masses. The article begins with a detailed review of the properties of Lagrange's collinear solution. Lagrange's quintic equation is derived and several expressions are given for the angular velocity of the rotating frame.The equations of motion are then linearized near the circular collinear solution, and the characteristic equation is also derived in detail. The different types of roots and their corresponding solutions are discussed. The special case of two equal outer masses receives special attention, as well as the special case of two small outer masses.Finally, the fundamental family of periodic solutions is extended by numerical integration all the wap up to and past a binary collision orbit. The stability and the bifurcations of this family are briefly enumerated.     

A problem of orbital dynamics,which is separable in KS-variables

The motion of a rocket (with constant thrust) in the gravitational field of a mass point is studied. As is well known, the two dimensional version of this problem is separable in Levi-Civitavariables. It is shown here that, for the three dimensional case, the KS-variables produce the separability. A closed solution is found by using elliptic functions. Equivalent problems are mentioned.     

Kasner-like,inflationary and steady-state solutions in multi-dimensional cosmology

Multi-dimensional cosmological models with n(n > 1) Ricci-flat spaces and a scalar field are discussed classically and with respect to canonical quantization. These models are integrable. Two classes of solutions are obtained. One class of solutions generalizes the Kasner solutions. For special additional conditions we find another solution describing extended inflation connected with a constant volume of the whole multidimensional space (steady-state).     

Central configurations of four bodies with an axis of symmetry

A complete solution is given for a symmetric case of the problem of the planar central configurations of four bodies, when two bodies are on an axis of symmetry, and the other two bodies have equal masses and are situated symmetrically with respect to the axis of symmetry. The positions of the bodies on the axis of symmetry are described by angle coordinates with respect to the outside bodies. The solution is such, that giving the angle coordinates, the masses for which the given configuration is a central configuration, can be computed from simple analytical expressions of the angles. The central configurations can be described as one-parameter families, and these are discussed in detail in one convex and two concave cases. The derived formulae represent exact analytical solutions of the four-body problem.     

A new class of relativistic stellar models

Einstein field equations for a static and spherically symmetric perfect fluid are considered. A formulation given by Patiño and Rago is used to obtain a class of nine solutions, two of them are Tolman solutions I, IV and the remaining seven are new. The solutions are the correct ones corresponding to expressions derived by Patiño and Rago which have been shown by Knutsen to be incorrect. Similar to Tolman solution IV each of the new solutions satisfies energy conditions inside a sphere in some range of two independent parameters. Besides, each solution could be matched to the exterior Schwarzschild solution at a boundary where the pressure vanishes and thus the solutions constitute a class of new physically reasonable stellar models.     

Dynamics of some cosmological solutions in modified f(R) gravity

This paper is devoted to investigate the modified f(R) theory of gravity, where R represents the Ricci scalar respectively. For our current work, we consider the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) space-time for finding solutions of field equations. Furthermore, some numerical solutions are examined by taking the Klein-Gordon Equation and using distinct values of the equation of state (EoS) parameter. In this way, we have discussed the solutions for acceleration expansion of the Universe, sub-relativistic Universe, radiation Universe, ultra-relativistic Universe, dust Universe, and stiff fluid Universe respectively. Moreover, their behaviours are examined by using power-law and exponential law techniques. The bouncing scenario is also discussed by choosing some particular values of the model parameters and observed the energy conditions, which are satisfied for a successful bouncing model. It is also concluded that some solution in f(R) theory of gravity supports the concept of exotic matter and accelerated expansion of the Universe due to a large amount of negative pressure.
