Killing vectors play a crucial role in characterizing the symmetries of a given spacetime. However, realistic astrophysical systems are in most cases only approximately symmetric. Even in the case of an astrophysical black hole, one might expect Killing symmetries to exist only in an approximate sense due to perturbations from external matter fields. In this work, we consider the generalized notion of Killing vectors provided by the almost Killing equation, and study the perturbations induced by a perturbation of a background spacetime satisfying exact Killing symmetry. To first order, we demonstrate that for nonradiative metric perturbations (that is, metric perturbations with nonvanishing trace) of symmetric vacuum spacetimes, the perturbed almost Killing equation avoids the problem of an unbounded Hamiltonian for hyperbolic parameter choices. For traceless metric perturbations, we obtain similar results for the second-order perturbation of the almost Killing equation, with some additional caveats. Thermodynamical implications are also explored.
We examine the Hamiltonian formulation and hyperbolicity of the almost-Killing equation (AKE). We find that for all but one parameter choice, the Hamiltonian is unbounded, and in some cases, the AKE has ghost degrees of freedom. We also show the AKE
This article investigates the stability of a generic Kasner spacetime to linear perturbations, both at late and early times. It demonstrates that the perturbation of the Weyl tensor diverges at late time in all cases but in the particular one in whic
We study a class of almost scale-invariant modified gravity theories, using a particular form of $f(R, G) = alpha R^2 + beta G log G$ where $R$ and $G$ are the Ricci and Gauss-Bonnet scalars, respectively and $alpha$, $beta$ are arbitrary constants.
A new method is presented for finding Killing tensors in spacetimes with symmetries. The method is used to find all the Killing tensors of Melvins magnetic universe and the Schwarzschild vacuum. We show that they are all trivial. The method requires
There are many logically and computationally distinct characterizations of the surface gravity of a horizon, just as there are many logically rather distinct notions of horizon. Fortunately, in standard general relativity, for stationary horizons, mo
