(i) Consider the line element describing the interior of a star,
ds2=e2α(r)dr2+r2(dθ2+sin2θdϕ2)−e2γ(r)dt2,
defined for 0≤r≤r0 by
e−2α(r)=1−Ar2
and
eγ(r)=23e−α0−21e−α(r)
Here A=2M/r03,M is the mass of the star, and α0 is defined to be α(r0).
The star is made of a perfect fluid with energy-momentum tensor
Tab=(p+ρ)uaub+pgab.
Here ua is the 4 -velocity of the fluid which is at rest, the density ρ is constant throughout the star (0≤r≤r0) and the pressure p=p(r) depends only on the radial coordinate. Write down the Einstein field equations and show that (in geometrical units with G=c=1 ) they may equivalently be written as
Rab=8π(p+ρ)uaub+4π(p−ρ)gab.
(ii) Using the formulae below, or otherwise, show that for 0≤r≤r0 one has
ρ=8π3A,p(r)=8π3A(3e−α0−e−α(r)e−α(r)−e−α0)
[The non-zero components of the Ricci tensor are:
R11=−γ′′+α′γ′−γ′2+r2α′,R22=e−2α[(α′−γ′)r−1]+1R33=sin2θR22,R44=e2γ−2α[γ′′−α′γ′+γ′2+r2γ′]
Note that
α′=Are2α,γ′=21Areα−γ,γ′′=21Aeα−γ+21A2r2e3α−γ−41A2r2e2α−2γ ] ]
