(19 As in the Newtonian case, the total mass M(r inside a spherical shell of radius r also determines the hyostatic equilibrium, but four corrections occur 2
3 the mass-density ρ 0 has tobereplaced interms of the total mass energy density ρ, which includes the internal energy; the inertial mass density is given by ρc 2 + P (see also equations of motion; this is the first correction factor on the rhs; pressure gives an active volume correction (second factor; themetricof spaceentersintermsofthelastfactor; thisfactorisofparticular importance, since it determines the stability properties of the solutions. The surface of the object always has to be far outside the Schwarzschild surface. It is important to note that the curvature of space is entirely given in terms of the total mass, while the gravitational potential satisfies its Newtonian analogue, except for the inertial factor ρc 2 + P. It is then obvious that these structure equations goe over into the Newtonian analog for P ρc 2, i.e. roughly speaking for sound velocities much less than the velocity of ligth, for low compactness 2GM(r/c 2 r and for low pressure mass 4πr P(r M(rc 2. The compactness parameter has a particular influence on the hyostatic equilibrium (the last factor in the TOV equation.

The Spatially Flat Universe A flat expanding Universe is simply given by stretching space in each direction by the same amount a(t (isotropic expansion, c 1 ds 2 dt 2 +a 2 (tδ ik dx i dx k η ab Θ a Θ b. (2 The factor a(t is called expansion factor. There are at least three different methods to calculate the Einstein tensor for this spacetime. Two methods are discussed in the following.

(7 All other components vanish. Method 2: Cartan s Equations The one frame basis is given by Θ 0 dt and Θ i a(tdx i (i1,2,. The exterior derivatives are simply given by, using dθ µ df Θ µ for a 1 form Θ µ f(xdx µ, dθ 0 0 ω 0 j Θ j (8 dθ i da dx i ȧdt dx i ȧ a Θ0 Θ i ȧ a Θi Θ 0 ω i 0 Θ 0 ω i j Θ j.

(42 Since space is still flat, the connection ω i j also vanishes. For the curvature two form we first calculate the exterior derivatives dω i 0 ä a Θ0 Θ i (4 dω 0 j ä a Θ0 Θ j (44 dω i j 0. (45 5

(51 From this we can read off the Riemann tensors 1, with H(t ȧ/a being the Hubble parameter, R 0 i0k ä a δ ik (52 R H 2 (t R 1 1 R 2 2. (5 With this we get the Ricci tensors (note, these expressions are in orthonormal frames R 00 R i 0i0 η ij R 0 j0i ä/a (54 R 11 R R R 11 ä/a+2h 2 (55 R 22 R R 11 (56 (ä R R 0 0 +R i i 6 a +H2.

(61 1 Despite the fact that space is flat, the curvature does not vanish. This is the effect of the Gauss Codazzi decomposition. 6
7 Method : Use an algebra software, e.g. Mathematica, Maple etc. Remark: Curvature can easily be included, since spaces of constant curvature are conformally flat. In this sense, the general Robertson Walker Friedmann metric can be given in the following form (see Lecture notes, Chapter 5 ds 2 dt 2 + a 2 (t [1+K(x 2 +y 2 +z 2 /4] 2 (dx2 +dy 2 +dz 2. (62 K represents the curvature of space and can be positive for spheres S, zero for Euclidean space E, and negative for hyperboloids H. The calculation of the Einstein tensor exactly follows in same manner as for the flat space. The only change occurs in the first Friedmann equation which now has a contribution from space curvature H 2 (t+ kc2 a 2 R 2 0 8πG ρ+ Λc2, (6 where the curvature radius has been scaled as R(t a(tr 0 with a(t 0 1 and a cosmological constant Λ has been included. 7
