In a recent study [1], authors introduced a new class of exact space-times in Einstein's gravity, which are Kerr black holes immersed in an external uniform magnetic field that is oriented along the rotational axis. Motivated by this work,…

This paper revisits black hole solutions surrounded by clouds and fluids of strings within the framework of general relativity. We introduce a generalized equation of state for a fluid of strings with a variable parameter and derive a…

We show that the generic solutions of the Lovelock equations with spherical, planar or hyperbolic symmetry are locally isometric to the corresponding static Lovelock black hole. As a consequence, these solutions are locally static: they…

In this work, we derive the general solutions for a cylindrically symmetric space-time filled with a cosmological perfect fluid obeying $p=\gamma \rho$ ($0\leq \gamma \leq 1$), where $\gamma=1$ represents a stiff or Zeldovich fluid. Using…

For static, spherically symmetric space-times in general relativity (GR), a no-go theorem is proved: it excludes the existence of wormholes with flat and/or AdS asymptotic regions on both sides of the throat if the source matter is…

We provide a simple, unified proof of Birkhoff's theorem for the vacuum and cosmological constant case, emphasizing its local nature. We discuss its implications for the maximal analytic extensions of Schwarzschild, Schwarzschild(-anti)-de…

The properties of LRS class II perfect fluid space-times are analyzed using the description of geometries in terms of the Riemann tensor and a finite number of its covariant derivatives. In this manner it is straightforward to obtain the…

Considering the standard "static" spherically symmetric ansatz ds2 = -B(r) dt2 + A(r) dr2 + r2 dOmega2 for Einstein's Equations with perfect fluid source, we ask how we can interpret solutions where A(r) and B(r) are not positive, as they…
