In this paper, an attempt is made to construct a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker model in $f(R,T)$ gravity with a perfect fluid that yields acceleration at late times. We take $f(R,T)$ as $R$ + $8\pi \mu T$. As in the $\Lambda$CDM…

We study Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological models with matter content composed of two perfect fluids $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$, with barotropic pressure densities $p_1/ \rho_1=\omega_1=const$ and $p_2/ \rho_2=\omega_2=const$, where one of…
The problem of two stiff fluids (energy density = pressure) moving radially in spherical symmetry is treated. The metric ansatz is chosen spherically symmetric, conformally static with a multiplicative separation of variables. The first…
We consider the field theory that defines a perfect incompressible 2D fluid. One distinctive property of this system is that the quadratic action for fluctuations around the ground state features neither mass nor gradient term. Quantum…
Ibohal, Ishwarchandra and Singh proposed a class of exact, non-vacuum and conformally flat solutions of Einstein's equations whose stress tensor $T_{ab}$ has negative pressure. We show that $T_{ab}$ corresponds to an anisotropic fluid and…
In this paper we consider charged and neutral blackfold and extract the Brown-York stress energy tensor. Also, we show that the neutral blackfold spacetime is Ricci- flat and the other spacetime is not. This Ricci-flat condition gives us…
We study the quantum cosmology of a flat Friedmann-Lema\^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker universe filled with a (free) massless scalar field and a perfect fluid that represents radiation or a cosmological constant whose value is not fixed by the…
In this article, a cylindrical symmetry and static solution of the Einstein's field equations, was presented. The space-time is conformally flat, regular everywhere except on the symmetry axis where it possesses a naked curvature…
We suggest a Lorentz non-invariant generalization of the unimodular gravity theory, which is classically equivalent to general relativity with a locally inert (devoid of local degrees of freedom) perfect fluid having an equation of state…
We study noncommutative classical Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological models. The constant curvature of the spatial sections can be positive ($k=1$), negative ($k=-1$) or zero ($k=0$). The matter is represented by a perfect fluid with…
Some formulae for the perturbations of the matter fields are summarized within the framework of the second-order gauge-invariant cosmological perturbation theory in a four dimensional homogeneous isotropic universe, which is developed in…
We show that a general but shear-free perturbation of homogeneous and isotropic universes are necessarily silent, without any gravitational waves. We prove this in two steps. First we establish that a shear free perturbation of these…

In this thesis four separate problems in general relativity are considered, divided into two separate themes: coordinate conditions and perfect fluid spheres. Regarding coordinate conditions we present a pedagogical discussion of how the…
We consider spherically symmetric inhomogeneous pressure Stephani universes, the center of symmetry being our location. The main feature of these models is that comoving observers do not follow geodesics. In particular, comoving perfect…
A cylindrically symmetric perfect fluid spacetime with no curvature singularity is shown. The equation of state for the perfect fluid is that of a stiff fluid. The metric is diagonal and non-separable in comoving coordinates for the fluid.…
Charged perfect fluid with vanishing Lorentz force and massless scalar field is studied in the case of stationary cylindrically symmetric spacetime. The scalar field can depend both on radial and longitudinal coordinates. Solutions are…
