On The Spherical Symmetry Of Perfect-Fluid Stellar Models In General Relativity, Joshua M Brewer
On The Spherical Symmetry Of Perfect-Fluid Stellar Models In General Relativity, Joshua M Brewer
Masters Theses
It is well known in Newtonian theory that static self-gravitating perfect fluids in a vacuum are necessarily spherically symmetric. The necessity of spherical symmetry of perfect-fluid static spacetimes with constant density in general relativity is shown.
