Exact Static Cylindrical Solution to Conformal Weyl Gravity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2012-06-05 v3

Abstract

We present the exact exterior solution for a static and neutral cylindrically symmetric source in locally conformal invariant Weyl gravity. As a special case the general relativity analogue still can be attained, however only as a sub-family of solutions. Our solution contains a linear term that would thus result in a potential that grows linearly over large distances. This may have implications for exotic astrophysical structures as well as matter fields on the extremely small scale.
