Spherically symmetric T-models in the general theory of relativity (Q5943144)

Corrected reprint from Sov. Phys., JETP 29, 1027-1034 (1969); originally published in Zh. Eksp. Teor. Fiz. 56, 1914-1928 (1969). From the abstract: Spherically symmetric models constructed of dustlike matter are considered in a comoving reference frame, and a general solution of the Einstein equations \((\Lambda\neq 0)\) is obtained which contains along with the Tolman-Bondi-Lemaitre models an additional class of T-models of a ``sphere'' with the metric of a synchronously-comoving T-system \((R= r(\tau))\) which represents an inhomogeneous generalization of the anisotropic cosmological model of a ``quasiclosed'' type with hypercylindrical spatial sections \(V_3= (S_2\times R_1)\). The T-models of a ``sphere'' yield a method, which in principle differs from the closed Friedmann model, for realizing the total mass defect maximal in GTR equal to the total rest mass of matter, and are characterized by the fact that the gravitational binding energy for each particle of ``dust'' exactly compensates its rest mass so that as a result the active mass -- the equivalent of the total energy -- remains constant in the case of an unrestricted growth of the ``sphere'' and, in general, does not contain any material contribution.
