Abstract

The class of gravito-electric, algebraically general, rotating `silent' dust space-times is studied. The main invariant properties are deduced. The number t0t_0 of functionally independent zero-order Riemann invariants satisfies 1t021\leq t_0\leq 2 and special attention is given to the subclass t0=1t_0=1. Whereas there are no Λ\Lambda-term limits comprised in the class, the limit for vanishing vorticity leads to two previously derived irrotational dust families with Λ>0\Lambda>0, and the shear-free limit is the G\"{o}del universe.
