Periodic Solutions of the Einstein Equations for Binary Systems
This revision includes clarified exposition and simplified analysis.
Solutions of the Einstein equations which are periodic and have standing
gravitational waves are valuable approximations to more physically realistic
solutions with outgoing waves. A variational principle is found which has the
power to provide an accurate estimate of the relationship between the mass and
angular momentum of the system, the masses and angular momenta of the
components, the rotational frequency of the frame of reference in which the
system is periodic, the frequency of the periodicity of the system, and the
amplitude and phase of each multipole component of gravitational radiation.
Examination of the boundary terms of the variational principle leads to
definitions of the effective mass and effective angular momentum of a periodic
geometry which capture the concepts of mass and angular momentum of the source
alone with no contribution from the gravitational radiation. These effective
quantities are surface integrals in the weak-field zone which are independent
of the surface over which they are evaluated, through second order in the
deviations of the metric from flat space.Comment: 18 pages, RevTeX 3.0, UF-RAP-93-1
Non-spherical collapse of a two fluid star
We obtain the analogue of collapsing Vaidya-like solution to include both a
null fluid and a string fluid, with a linear equation of state (), in non-spherical (plane symmetric and cylindrically symmetric) anti-de
Sitter space-timess. It turns out that the non-spherical collapse of two fluid
in anti-de Sitter space-times, in accordance with cosmic censorship, proceed to
form black holes, i.e., on naked singularity ever forms, violating hoop
conjecture.Comment: 7 pages, RevTeX 4, minor correction
Relativistic Radiative Transfer for Spherical Flows
We present a new complete set of Lagrangian relativistic hydrodynamical
equations describing the transfer of energy and momentum between a standard
fluid and a radiation fluid in a general non-stationary spherical flow. The new
set of equations has been derived for a particular application to the study of
the cosmological Quark--Hadron transition but can also be used in other
contexts.Comment: 28 pages, 9 postscript figs, Plain Te
BFKL at next-to-leading order
This is a summary of the contributions on the next-to-leading order
corrections to the BFKL equation which were presented to the `Small-x and
Diffraction' working group at the 1998 Durham Workshop on HERA Physics.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure
