Abstract: We introduce a natural notion of incompressibility for fluids governed by the relativistic Euler equations on a fixed background spacetime, and show that the resulting equations reduce to the incompressible Euler equations in the classical limit as $cightarrowinfty$. As our main result, we prove that the fluid pressure of solutions of these incompressible "relativistic" Euler equations satisfies an elliptic equation on each of the hypersurfaces orthogonal to the fluid four-velocity, which indicates infinite speed of propagation.
