    Influence of modification of gravity on spherical wormhole models

    This paper explores some wormhole (WH) solutions in the background of additional matter contents of f(R, T) modified gravity. For this purpose, we have considered WH geometry filled with two physically different fluid configurations: one is anisotropic and another is anisotropic characterized by the barotropic equation of state. The energy conditions are examined with particular modified gravity model and found the existence of WH solutions even in the absence of exotic matter. Also, we have analyzed the behavior of shape function in this framework. The stability and physical existence of these solutions is studied with different fluid configurations. We conclude that in the absence of exotic matter, one can find WH solutions with particular model of modified gravity.

    Variations in the expansion and shear scalars for dissipative fluids

    This work is devoted to the study of some dynamical features of spherical relativistic locally anisotropic stellar geometry in f(R) gravity. In this paper, a specific configuration of tanh f(R) cosmic model has been taken into account. The mass function through technique introduced by Misner–Sharp has been formulated and with the help of it, various fruitful relations are derived. After orthogonal decomposition of the Riemann tensor, the tanh modified structure scalars are calculated. The role of these tanh modified structure scalars (MSS) has been discussed through shear, expansion as well as Weyl scalar differential equations. The inhomogeneity factor has also been explored for the case of radiating viscous locally anisotropic spherical system and spherical dust cloud with and without constant Ricci scalar corrections.

    Shear and expansion evolution for dissipative fluids

    The aim of this work is to analyze the role of shear evolution equation in the modeling of relativistic spheres in f(R) gravity. We assume that non-static diagonally symmetric geometry is coupled with dissipative anisotropic viscous fluid distributions in the presence of f(R) dark source terms. A specific distribution of f(R) cosmic model has been assumed and the spherical mass function through generic formula introduced by Misner–Sharp has been formulated. Some very important relations regarding Weyl scalar, matter variables and mass functions are being computed. After decomposing orthogonally the Riemann tensor, some scalar variables in the presence of f(R) extra degrees of freedom are calculated. The effects of the three parametric modified structure scalars in the modeling of Weyl, shear, expansion scalar differential equations are investigated. The energy density irregularity factor has been calculated for both anisotropic radiating viscous with varying Ricci scalar and dust cloud with present Ricci scalar corrections.

    Tolman mass of spherical fluids with electromagnetic field

    Assuming a system with spherical symmetry in f(R) gravity filled with dissipative charged and anisotropic matter, we study the impact of density inhomogeneity and local anisotropy on the gravitational collapse in the presence of charge. For this purpose, we evaluated the modified Maxwell field equations, Weyl curvature tensor, and the mass function. Using Misner–Sharp mass formalism, we construct a relation between the Weyl tensor, density inhomogeneity, and local anisotropy. Specifically, we obtain the expression of modified Tolman mass which helps to analyze the influence of charge and dark source terms on different physical factors, also it helps to study the role of these factors on gravitational collapse.

    EXPANSION-FREE CAVITY EVOLUTION: SOME EXACT ANALYTICAL MODELS

    We consider spherically symmetric distributions of anisotropic fluids with a central vacuum cavity, evolving under the condition of vanishing expansion scalar. Some analytical solutions are found satisfying Darmois junction conditions on both delimiting boundary surfaces, while some others require the presence of thin shells on either (or both) boundary surfaces. The solutions here obtained model the evolution of the vacuum cavity and the surrounding fluid distribution, emerging after a central explosion, thereby showing the potential of expansion–free condition for the study of that kind of problems. This study complements a previously published work where modeling of the evolution of such kind of systems was achieved through a different kinematical condition.

    A new class of anisotropic rotating fluids and some throat-like sources for Kerr metric as examples

    Motivated by the increasing interest in finding physically viable rotating sources, we present a new class of anisotropic rotating solutions. The energy–momentum tensor compatible with the metric is composed of anisotropic matter with a nonvanishing energy flow around the symmetry axis and vanishing viscosity. The new class of solutions can be used to find new possible sources for the Kerr metric, to obtain new regular black hole solutions and to study galaxies with a central rotating black hole and an halo of dark matter. As an example, we obtain a five-parameter class of solutions representing a two-way traversable wormhole smoothly matched to the Kerr one and satisfying all energy conditions outside the wormhole for a wide range of parameters, in particular for compact objects. Finally, with a simple modification of the aforementioned solution, we obtain a source for Kerr metric with a throat geometry, nonrepresenting a two-way traversable wormhole and satisfying all energy conditions.

    Complexity factors for static anisotropic axially symmetric fluid distributions in f(R) gravity

    In this paper, we have analyzed the complexity factor for the most general axially symmetric static anisotropic fluid distributions in context of f(R) theory of gravity. For this purpose, we have studied three distinct complexity factors that are organized in terms of three scalar variables (structure scalars) comes from the orthogonal splitting of the curvature tensor. The vanishing of all complexity factors condition for what we choose the simplest fluid distribution that in which system having energy density is homogeneous with isotropic pressure. Although, it has been found that the complexity factors condition can also vanish when inhomogeneous energy density and anisotropy of the pressure cancel each other. Next, we express a class of exact solutions and their graphical analysis as compatible to our models that satisfies the vanishing condition of complexity factors. Finally, it is worth mentioning that these results can reproduce the results of General theory of Relativity under some constraints.

    New exact stationary cylindrical anisotropic fluid solution of GR

    In a previous paper, the properties of interior spacetimes sourced by stationary cylindrical anisotropic fluids have been analytically studied for both nonrigid and rigid rotation. The gravito-electromagnetic features of different classes of such GR solutions have been described. Their regularity conditions and those for their junction to a vacuum exterior have also been provided. A new class of rigidly rotating exact solutions to Einstein’s field equations satisfying a physically consistent equation of state for anisotropic fluids is displayed here. Its physical properties are discussed.
