Stationary fields in black-hole space-times
Čížek, Pavel ; Semerák, Oldřich (advisor) ; Ledvinka, Tomáš (referee) ; Gürlebeck, Norman (referee)
Motivated by modelling of astrophysical black holes surrounded by accretion structures, as well as by theoretical interest, we study two methods how to ob- tain, within stationary and axisymmetric solutions of general relativity, a metric describing the black hole encircled by a thin ring or a disc. The first is a suitable perturbation of a Schwarzschild black hole. Starting from the seminal paper by Will (1974), we showed that it is possible to express the Green functions of the problem in a closed form, which can then be employed to obtain, e.g., a reason- able linear perturbation for a black hole surrounded by a thin finite disc. In the second part we tackle the same problem using the Belinskii-Zakharov generating algorithm, showing/confirming that in a stationary case its outcome is unphysi- cal, yet at least obtaining a modest new result for the (static) "superposition" of a Schwarzschild black hole with the Bach-Weyl ring. 1

Matter Models in General Relativity with a Decreasing Number of Symmetries
Gürlebeck, Norman ; Bičák, Jiří (advisor) ; Fraundiener, Jörg (referee) ; Ledvinka, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Matter Models in General Relativity with a Decreasing Number of Sym- metries Author: Norman Gürlebeck Institute: Institute of theoretical physics Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Jiří Bičák, DrSc., dr.h.c. Abstract: We investigate matter models with different symmetries in general relativity. Among these are thin (massive and massless) shells endowed with charge or dipole densities, dust distributions and rotating perfect fluid solutions. The electromagnetic sources we study are gravitating spherical symmetric condensers (including the implications of the energy conditions) and arbitrary gravitating shells endowed with a general test dipole distribution. For the latter the Israel formalism is extended to cover also general discontinuous tangential components of the electromagnetic test field, i.e., surface dipole densities. The formalism is applied to two examples and used to prove some general properties of dipole distributions. This is followed by a discussion of axially symmetric, stationary rigidly rotating dust with non-vanishing proper volume. The metric in the interior of such a configuration can be determined completely in terms of the mass density along the axis of rotation. The last matter models we consider are non-axially symmetric, stationary and rotating perfect fluid solutions. This is done with a...

Generating Methods in GR and Properties of the Resulting Solutions
Hruška, Jakub ; Žofka, Martin (advisor) ; Pravdová, Alena (referee) ; Gürlebeck, Norman (referee)
The use of conformal transformation as a method for generating solutions of Einstein's equations has been mainly studied in the cases where the original spacetime is vacuum. The generated spacetimes then frequently belong to the class of pp-waves. In the present work, the electrovacuum spacetimes are stud- ied, i.e the solutions of coupled Einstein's and Maxwell's equations. By using the conformal transformation, it is possible to circumvent solving the later equa- tions. This method is concretely studied for null Einstein-Maxwell fields and it turns out that the admissible spacetimes are pp-waves again. However, if the method is generalized, it is possible to enlarge the class of conformal null Einstein-Maxwell fields to a wider family of Kundt spacetimes. 1
