Plane symmetric cosmological models (original) (raw)
2020
In the present work, we execute the Lie symmetry analysis on the Einstein-Maxwell field equations in the plane symmetric spacetime. Under the background of the plane symmetric space-time we compute the Lie point symmetries, perform the similarity reductions and obtain exact solutions in connection to the evolutionary scenario of the universe. The special feature of the study is that it deals with the electromagnetic energy of the inhomogeneous universe through the non-vanishing component of electromagnetic field tensor F_12 and assumes that the free gravitational field is of Petrov type-II non-degenerate. We have found that the electromagnetic field tensor is positive and increasing function of time. To validate the solution set, we examine with detailed discussions several physical as well as geometrical features of a specific sub-case of the model.

2013
In this paper, we have searched the existence of the similarity solution for plane symmetric inhomogeneous cosmological models in general relativity. The matter source consists of perfect fluid with proportionality relation between expansion scalar and shear scalar. The isovector fields of Einstein's field equation for the models under consideration are derived. A new class of exact solutions of Einstein's field equation have been obtained for inhomogeneous space-time. The physical behaviors and geometric aspects of the derived models have been discussed in detail.
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2014
We find a new class of invariant inhomogeneous Bianchi type-I cosmological models in electromagnetic field with variable magnetic permeability. For this, Lie group analysis method is used to identify the generators that leave the given system of nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) (Einstein field equations) invariant. With the help of canonical variables associated with these generators, the assigned system of PDEs is reduced to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) whose simple solutions provide nontrivial solutions of the original system. A new class of exact (invariant-similarity) solutions have been obtained by considering the potentials of metric and displacement field as functions of coordinatesxandt. We have assumed thatF12is only nonvanishing component of electromagnetic field tensorFij. The Maxwell equations show thatF12is the function ofxalone whereas the magnetic permeabilityμ¯is the function ofxandtboth. The physical behavior of the obtained model is discu...
Matter Symmetries of Non-Static Plane Symmetric Spacetimes
2020
The matter collineations of plane symmetric spacetimes are studied according to the degenerate energy-momentum tensor. We have found many cases where the energy-momentum tensor is degenerate but the group of matter collineations is finite. Further we obtain different constraint equations on the energy-momentum tensor. Solving these constraints may provide some new exact solutions of Einstein field equations.
Lie Symmetries of the Energy–Momentum Tensor for Plane Symmetric Static Spacetimes
International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2005
Matter collineations (MCs) are the vector fields along which the energy–momentum tensor remains invariant under Lie transport. Invariance of the metric, the Ricci and the Riemann tensors have been studied extensively and the vectors along which these tensors remain invariant are called Killing vectors (KVs), Ricci collineations (RCs) and curvature collineations (CCs), respectively. In this paper, plane symmetric static spacetimes have been studied for their MCs. Explicit form of MCs together with the Lie algebra admitted by them has been presented. Examples of spacetimes have been constructed for which MCs have been compared with their RCs and KVs. The comparison shows that neither of the sets of RCs and MCs contains the other, in general.
