We show that the pseudotensors of Einstein, Tolman, Landau and Lifshitz, Papapetrou, and Weinberg (ETLLPW) give the same distributions of energy, linear momentum and angular momentum, for any Kerr-Schild metric. This result generalizes a previous work by Gürses and Gürsey that dealt only with the pseudotensors of Einstein and Landau and Lifshitz. We compute these distributions for the Kerr-Newman and Bonnor-Vaidya metrics and find reasonable results. All calculations are performed without any approximation in Kerr-Schild Cartesian coordinates. For the Reissner-Nordström metric these definitions give the same result as the Penrose quasi-local mass. For the Kerr black hole the entire energy is confined to its interior whereas for the KerrNewman black hole, as expected, the energy is shared by its interior as well as exterior. The total energy and angular momentum of the Kerr-Newman black hole are M and M a, respectively (M is the mass parameter and a is the rotation parameter). The energy distribution for the Bonnor-Vaidya metric is the same as the Penrose quasi-local mass obtained by Tod.
We consider here the effects of a non-vanishing cosmological term on the final fate of a spherical inhomogeneous collapsing dust cloud. It is shown that depending on the nature of the initial data from which the collapse evolves, and for a positive value of the cosmological constant, we can have a globally regular evolution where a bounce develops within the cloud. We characterize precisely the initial data causing such a bounce in terms of the initial density and velocity profiles for the collapsing cloud. In the cases otherwise, the result of collapse is either formation of a black hole or a naked singularity resulting as the end state of collapse. We also show here that a positive cosmological term can cover a part of the singularity spectrum which is visible in the corresponding dust collapse models for the same initial data.
We give a non-static exact solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations (with null fluid), which is a non-static magnetic charge generalization to the Bonnor-Vaidya solution and describes the gravitational and electromagnetic fields of a nonrotating massive radiating dyon. In addition, using the energy-momentum pseudotensors of Einstein and Landau and Lifshitz we obtain the energy, momentum, and power output of the radiating dyon and find that both prescriptions give the same result.
It is known that certain properties of charged dilaton black holes depend on a free parameter β which controls the strength of the coupling of the dilaton to the Maxwell field. We obtain the energy associated with static spherically symmetric charged dilaton black holes for arbitrary value of the coupling parameter and find that the energy distribution depends on the value of β. With increasing radial distance, the energy in a sphere increases for β = 0 as well as for β < 1, decreases for β > 1, and remains constant for β = 1. However, the total energy turns out to be the same for all values of β.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
