Abstract

Λνμ\Lambda^{\mu}_{\nu}-geometry is a geometry with a variable cosmological term described by a second-rank symmetric tensor Λνμ\Lambda^{\mu}_{\nu} whose asymptotics are Einstein cosmological term Λδνμ\Lambda \delta ^{\mu}_{\nu} at the origin and λδνμ\lambda \delta ^{\mu}_{\nu} at infinity (with λ<Λ\lambda < \Lambda). It corresponds to extension of the algebraic structure of the Einstein cosmological term Λδνμ\Lambda \delta ^{\mu}_{\nu} in such a way that a scalar Λ\Lambda describing vacuum energy density as ρvac=8πGΛ\rho_{vac}=8\pi G \Lambda (with ρvac\rho_{vac}=const by virtue of the Bianchi identities), becomes explicite related to the appropriate component, Λ00\Lambda^0_0, of an appropriate stress-energy tensor, Tνμ=8πGΛνμT^{\mu}_{\nu}=8\pi G\Lambda^{\mu}_{\nu} whose vacuum properties follow from its symmetry, T00=T11T_0^0=T_1^1, and whose variability follows from the contracted Bianchi identities. In the spherically symmetric case existence of such geometries in frame of GR follows from imposing on Einstein equations requirements of finiteness of the ADM mass mm, and of regularity of density and pressures. Dependently on parameters mm and q=Λ/λq=\sqrt{\Lambda /\lambda}, Λνμ\Lambda^{\mu}_{\nu} geometry describes five types of configurations. We summarize here the results which tell us how these configurations look from the point of view of different observers: a static observer, a Lemaitre co-moving observer, and a Kantowski-Sachs observer.
