Electromagnetic Fields in a Homogeneous, Nonisotropic Universe
A solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations is derived that represents a closed universe of topology S/sup 3 / x R, filled with gravitational and electromagnetic radiation. The lowest of the large number of possible modes of radiation in such a universe is considered. This mode has maximum symmetry...

| Zusammenfassung: | A solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations is derived that represents a closed universe of topology S/sup 3 / x R, filled with gravitational and electromagnetic radiation. The lowest of the large number of possible modes of radiation in such a universe is considered. This mode has maximum symmetry consistent with the existence of a vector field; the universe is homogeneous but not isotropic, and is therefore a generalization of one of the solutions discussed by Taub. It is possible to solve explicitly for the metric coefficients. Some of the physical properties of the solution are discussed. (auth) |
