This is an important and natural question as the spacetime shear, inhomogeneity and tidal effects are all intertwined via the Einstein field equations. However, as we show in this paper, such scenarios are possible for limited classes of…
Skew-symmetric massless fields, their potentials being $r$-forms, are close analogues of Maxwell's field (though the non-linear cases also should be considered). We observe that only two of them ($r=$2 and 3) automatically yield…
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.…
We study the properties of a future singularity encountered by a perfect fluid observer in tilting spatially homogeneous Bianchi cosmologies. We derive the boost formulae for the Weyl tensor to establish that, for two observers that are…
A surprising exact result for the Einstein Field Equations is that if pressure-free matter is moving in a shear-free way, then it must be either expansion-free or rotation-free. It has been suggested this result is also true for any…
We study the evolution of a perfect--fluid sphere coupled to a scalar radiation field. By ensuring a Ricci invariant regularity as a conformally flat spacetime at the central world line we find that the fluid coupled to the scalar field…
We consider a self-gravitating, rigidly rotating charged perfect fluid immersed in the Wald magnetosphere, constructed out of two linearly independent Killing vectors present in stationary and axially-symmetric spacetimes. We show that in…
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…
Herein we shall argue for the utility of "spacetime geodesy", a point of view where one delays as long as possible worrying about dynamical equations, in favour of the maximal utilization of both symmetries and geometrical features. This…
In this article, a special static spherically symmetric perfect fluid solution of Einstein's equations is provided. Though pressure and density both diverge at the origin, their ratio remains constant. The solution presented here fails to…
Geometrical aspects of a perfect fluid spacetime are described in terms of different curvature tensors and $\eta$-Ricci and $\eta$-Einstein solitons in a perfect fluid spacetime are determined. Conditions for the Ricci soliton to be steady,…
We investigate relativistic spherically symmetric static perfect fluid models in the framework of the theory of dynamical systems. The field equations are recast into a regular dynamical system on a 3-dimensional compact state space,…
The dynamics of a class of cosmological models with collisionless matter and four Killing vectors is studied in detail and compared with that of corresponding perfect fluid models. In many cases it is possible to identify asymptotic states…

We present a new class of exact homogeneous cosmological solutions with a radiation fluid for all scalar-tensor theories. The solutions belong to Bianchi type $VI_{h}$ cosmologies. Explicit examples of nonsingular homogeneous scalar-tensor…
Via a straightforward integration of the Einstein equations with cosmological constant, all static circularly symmetric perfect fluid 2+1 solutions are derived. The structural functions of the metric depend on the energy density, which…
The fluid models mentioned in the title are classified. All characteristics of the fluid are expressed through a master potential, satisfying an ordinary second order differential equation. Different constraints are imposed on this core of…
We examine the behaviour of homogeneous, anisotropic space-times, specifically the locally rotationally symmetric Bianchi types $I$ and $VII_o$ in the presence of anisotropic matter. By finding an appropriate constant of the motion, and…
It is shown that unlike the perfect fluid case, anisotropic fluids (principal stresses unequal) may be geodesic, without this implying the vanishing of (spatial) pressure gradients. Then the condition of vanishing four acceleration is…
We give a variational formulation of perfect fluids on a general pseudoriemannian manifold by variating tangent fields according the flux produced by them. In this approach no constraints are needed. As a result, Euler and continuity…
