Infinite kinematic self-similarity and perfect fluid spacetimes (Q5959870): Difference between revisions

The authors study spherically, plane or hyperbolically symmetric perfect fluid space-times which admit a kinematic self-similarity of infinite type, where the self similarity vector commutes with all Killing vectors. The remaining field equations take then the form of a system of ordinary differential equations. The properties of the system are studied and it is shown that all asymptotic solutions are at singular points. The character of these singular points are considered in detail. Moreover a number of physical solutions is constructed.
