- Title
THE ROTATION AND TRANSLATION OF CYLINDERS IN GENERAL RELATIVITY.
- Authors
GRIFFITHS, J. B.; SANTOS, N. O.
- Abstract
In general relativity, the gravitational field of an infinite rotating cylinder is globally (but not locally) different from that of a static cylinder. It is shown here that, for an infinite rigidly translating (non-rotating) cylinder of perfect fluid with a regular axis, there exists a (translating) frame of reference relative to which the gravitational field is static.
