We recast the well known Israel-Darmois matching conditions for Locally Rotationally Symmetric (LRS-II) spacetimes using the semitetrad 1+1+2 covariant formalism. This demonstrates how the geometrical quantities including the volume expansion, spacetime shear, acceleration and Weyl curvature of two different spacetimes are related at a general matching surface inheriting the symmetry, which can be timelike or spacelike. The approach is purely geometrical and depends on matching the Gaussian curvature of 2-dimensional sheets at the matching hypersurface. This also provides the constraints on the thermodynamic quantities on each spacetime so that they can be matched smoothly across the surface. As an example we regain the Santos boundary conditions and model of a radiating star matched to a Vaidya exterior in general relativity.
In this paper we investigate conformal symmetries in Locally Rotationally Symmetric (LRS) spacetimes using a semitetrad covariant formalism. We demonstrate that a general LRS spacetime which rotates and spatially twists simultaneously has an inherent
We present a framework for studying gravitational lensing in spherically symmetric spacetimes using 1+1+2 covariant methods. A general formula for the deflection angle is derived and we show how this can be used to recover the standard result for the Schwarzschild spacetime.
Using the quasi-Maxwell formalism, we derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for the matching of two stationary spacetimes along a stationary timelike hypersurface, expressed in terms of the gravitational and gravitomagnetic fields and the 2-
We search for self tuning solutions to the Einstein-scalar field equations for the simplest class of `Fab-Four models with constant potentials. We first review the conditions under which self tuning occurs in a cosmological spacetime, and by introduc
