Gravito-magnetic vacuum spacetimes: kinematic restrictions

Abstract: We show that there are no vacuum solutions with a purely magnetic Weyl tensor with respect to an observer submitted to kinematic restrictions involving first order differential scalars. This result generalizes previous ones for the vorticity-free and shear-free cases. We use a covariant approach which makes evident that only the Bianchi identities are used and, consequently, the results are also valid for non vacuum solutions with vanishing Cotton tensor.

“…Then e.g. the (31) component of the field equations together with 2 1 2 3 and the (31) component of (18) together with the (2) component of (24) Propagation of the second equation of (A.13) along the ∂ 2 integral curves, using (54), (A.12) and (A.13), yields n 1 (4H 13 + z 2 + 4h 3 q 2 ) = 0. As n 1 = 0 is not allowed by (A.13), it follows that B 0 ≡ 4H 13 + z 2 + 4h 3 q 2 = 0.…”

“…The linearization of E around an FLRW background (26) reads 1 6 ρθσ, such that linearized non-vacuum ID models with E = 0 are either FLRW or satisfy θ = 0, ρ = 2Λ, as is seen from (18). Hence in the case Λ = 0 no linearized anti-Newtonian universes exist at all [7].…”

“…These geometric objects have been under discussion for many years (see [19]- [36] and references therein). Not only because of the eventual relationship of the magnetic part of the Weyl tensor with rotation [20,27], but also because of its link with gravitational radiation [19,23,26,28,29,30,37].…”
