Rotating elastic bodies in Einstein gravity

Year: 2009
Type: article
Abstract: We prove that, given a stress‐free, axially symmetric elastic body, there exists, for sufficiently small values of the gravitational constant and of the angular frequency, a unique stationary, axisymmetric solution to the Einstein equations coupled to the equations of relativistic elasticity with the body performing rigid rotations around the symmetry axis at the given angular frequency. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
