Conditions for nonexistence of static or stationary, Einstein-Maxwell, non-inheriting black-holes
We consider asymptotically-flat, static and stationary solutions of the
Einstein equations representing Einstein-Maxwell space-times in which the
Maxwell field is not constant along the Killing vector defining stationarity,
so that the symmetry of the space-time is not inherited by the electromagnetic
field. We find that static degenerate black hole solutions are not possible
and, subject to stronger assumptions, nor are static, non-degenerate or
stationary black holes. We describe the possibilities if the stronger
assumptions are relaxed.Comment: 19 pages, to appear in GER
Rainich theory for type D aligned Einstein-Maxwell solutions
The original Rainich theory for the non-null Einstein-Maxwell solutions
consists of a set of algebraic conditions and the Rainich (differential)
equation. We show here that the subclass of type D aligned solutions can be
characterized just by algebraic restrictions.Comment: 12 pages; v2: appendix with notatio
