Generalized Painlevé–Gullstrand metrics

Abstract: An obstruction to the implementation of spatially flat Painlevé-Gullstrand(PG) slicings is demonstrated, and explicitly discussed for Reissner-Nordström and Schwarzschild-anti-deSitter spacetimes. Generalizations of PG slicings which are not spatially flat but which remain regular at the horizons are introduced. These metrics can be obtained from standard spherically symmetric metrics by physical Lorentz boosts. With these generalized PG metrics, problematic contributions to the imaginary part of the action in… Show more

“…These 'non-GR' terms are automatically absent in homogeneous FLRW cosmology, and also in constant curvature slicings of Painlevé-Gullstrand solutions of black holes [13]. Consequently, except for Cotton-York preponderance at very early times[19], Einstein's GR dominates at low curvatures and long wavelengths in a theory in which 'four-dimensional symmetry is not a fundamental property of the physical world' [2].…”

“…In general, for a spherically symmetric space-time (SSST), the existence of flat synchronizations is usually taken for granted but, recently, an obstruction to it has been pointed out [7]. However, as far as the authors are aware, a definitive interpretation of this obstruction as well as the analysis of the domains where a flat synchronization exists have not been done up to now.…”
