Junctions and thin shells in general relativity using computer algebra: I. The Darmois - Israel formalism

Open access
Musgrave, Peter, Lake, Kayll·1996·Classical and Quantum Gravity

Abstract

We present the GRjunction computer algebra program which allows the study of non-null boundary surfaces and thin shells in general relativity. Implementing the Darmois - Israel thin-shell formalism requires a careful selection of definitions and algorithms to ensure that results are generated in a straightforward way. We have used the package to correctly reproduce a wide variety of examples from the literature. In this paper GRjunction is used to perform two new calculations: joining two Kerr solutions with differing masses and angular momenta along a thin shell in the slow rotation limit, and the calculation of the stress - energy of a Curzon wormhole. The Curzon wormhole has the interesting property that shells located at radius R < 2m have regions which satisfy the weak energy condition.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
