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…
We show that combinations of (in general, non-linear) 2- and 3-form fields analogous to the Maxwell (1-form) field, completely describe perfect fluids, including the rotating ones. In the non-rotating case, the 2-form field in sufficient,…
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…
