Rotational perturbations of relativistic perfect-fluid model universes interacting with gravitational field

Along with the presentation of several new analytic solutions, the dynamics of slowly rotating perfect-fluid model universes are investigated, and their physical and geometrical properties are discussed from all angles. The rotational perturbations of such models are examined in detail in order to substantiate the possibility that the Universe is endowed with some rotation. The nature and role of the rotational velocity (r, t) which is related to the local dragging of inertial frames and that of the matter rotation (r, t) are studied for uniform and non-uniform motions. We find out the restrictions on the radii of the models for real astrophysical situations, and the periods of physical validity of them are also obtained. Rotating models which are expanding as well are obtained, in which cases the rotational velocities are found to decay with the time; and these models may be taken as examples of real astrophysical objects in this Universe.
