A relativistic model of the topological acceleration effect (Q2914966)

A Schwarzschild-like exact solution that is multiply connected in one spatial direction is checked for analytical and numerical consistency with the heuristic result. The \(T^1\) (slab space) heuristic result is found to exist in the limit of the Schwarzschild-like, i.e. slab-space solution of the Einstein equations found by Korotkin and Nicolai, with the same linear topological acceleration term as for the simpler calculation. It is shown that at least in a simple example of a multiply connected universe, the topological acceleration effect is not an artefact of Newtonian-like reasoning. A possible method to detect the topological acceleration might follow from considering the effect as a feedback effect from global anisotropy to local anisotropy.
