Two bodies at rest in general relativity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Abstract
It is well known that there is no static axisymmetric two-body solution of Einstein's gravitational field equations, if it is assumed that the bodies are separated in a certain definite sense. In this paper it is shown, by the construction of a complete physically sensible model, that static two-body solutions do exist for systems in which one body is hollow and contains the other. The stability of the particular system described is briefly discussed.
