Uniformly Rotating Homogeneous Rings in post-Newtonian Gravity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-05-18 v2

Abstract

In this paper uniformly rotating relativistic rings are investigated analytically utilizing two different approximations simultaneously: (1) an expansion about the thin ring limit (the cross-section is small compared with the size of the whole ring) (2) post-Newtonian expansions. The analytic results for rings are compared with numerical solutions.
