A solution in Weyl gravity with planar symmetry James T. Wheeler May 23, 205 Abstract We solve the Bach equation for Weyl gravity for the case of a static metric with planar symmetry. The solution is not conformal to the solution to the corresponding Einstein equation. Gauge choice We look at a static, planar symmetric line element of the form Define a new z coordinate, ds 2 = e 2fz) dt 2 + e 2gz) dx 2 + dy 2) + dz 2 ds 2 = e 2fz) dt 2 + e 2gz) dx 2 + dy 2) + e 2gz) dz 2 so that dz = e gz) dz. Then a conformal transformation by e 2g leaves us with ds 2 = e 2f g) dt 2 + dx 2 + dy 2 + dz 2 = h 2 Z) dt 2 + dx 2 + dy 2 + dz 2 where h Z) = e fzz)) gzz)). Since Weyl gravity is conformally invariant, we are solving for a conformal equivalence class of metrics, so we may always do this. Let Z z so the metric takes the form ds 2 = h 2 z) dt 2 + dx 2 + dy 2 + dz 2 2 Curvature Define an orthonormal basis, e 0 = hdt e = dx e 2 = dy e 3 = dz Then de 0 = h dz dt de = 0 de 2 = 0 de 3 = 0 Utah State University Dept of Physics email: jim.wheeler@usu.edu
The Cartan structure equation gives us de a = e b ω a b h dz dt = e b ω 0 b = e ω 0 + e 2 ω 0 2 + e 3 ω 0 3 = dx ω 0 + dy ω 0 2 + dz ω 0 3 ω 0 3 = h dt 0 = e b ω b = e 0 ω 0 + e 2 ω 2 + e 3 ω 3 = hdt ω 0 + dy ω 2 + dz ω 3 0 = e b ω b = e 0 ω 2 0 + e ω 2 + e 3 ω 2 3 = hdt ω 2 0 + dx ω 2 + dz ω 2 3 0 = e b ω 3 b = e 0 ω 3 0 = hdt h dt = 0 Thus the only nozero spin connection components are ω 3 0 = ω 0 3 = h dt = h h e0 Then the curvatures are R a b = dωa b ωc b ωa c but all the ω c b ωa c terms will depend on dt dt = 0 so we have only R 0 3 = dω 0 3 = d h dt) = h dz dt = h h e3 e 0 R 0 = R 0 2 = 0 R 2 = R 3 = R 2 3 = 0 and therefore, the Riemann curvature has the only one independent nonvanishing component, R 0 303 = h h2) Notice that the curvature here is equivalent to R 0303 = h h2) The Ricci tensor is R α βµν = Γ α βµ,ν Γ α βν,µ Γ α ρµγ ρ βν + Γα ρνγ ρ βµ R 00 = R 00 + R 2 020 + R 3 030 = h h2) R 33 = h h2) 2
and the Ricci scalar is R = η ab R ab For arbitrary h, find the Weyl curvature tensor, This gives = R 00 + R 33 = 2 h h2) C a bcd = R a bcd 2 δa c R bd δ a dr bc η bc R a d + η bd R a c) + 6 R δa c η bd δ a dη bc ) C 0 303 = R 0 303 R33 + η 33 R 0 2 0) + 6 Rη 33 = h h ) h 2 h h h h 3h = h 3h so any solutions with h nonzero are not conformally flat. The only components which involve R a bcd are this one, and those related by symmetry, e.g., C 3 030 = R 3 030 R00 + η 00 R 3 2 3) + 6 Rη 00 = h h ) h 2 h + h + h h 3h = h 3h All other nonvanishing components are of the form C a bcd = 2 δa c R bd δ a dr bc η bc R a d + η bd R a c) + 6 R δa c η bd δ a dη bc ) for example, = 2 δa c R bd δ a dr bc η bc R a d + η bd R a c) h 3h δa c η bd δ a dη bc ) C 33 = C 2 323 = 2 R 33 + 6 Rη 33 = h 2 h h 3h = 6h h C 00 = C 2 020 = 2 R 00 + 6 Rη 00 = h 2 h + 3h h = 6h h C 22 = h 3h 3
2. The Einstein equation The Einstein equation for this form of metric is trivial. With R 00 = h h2) R 33 = h h2) we have simply h 2) = 0 with linear solutions h = az + b. The curvature vanishes and the spacetime is flat, and therefore is not conformal to any solution with h 2) 0. 3 The Bach equation We may write the Bach equation as The second term on the left is not difficult: D µ D ν C αµβν 2 R µνc αµβν = κt αβ R µν C αµβν = R 00 C α0β0 + R 33 C α3β3 = h h Cα0β0 h = 0 h Cα3β3 Now we need the covariant derivatives. These are much easier to compute from the alternate form of the Bach equation, W αβ = 3 D αd β R + D µ D µ R αβ + 6 R 2 D µ D µ R 3R µν R µν) g αβ +2R µν R αµβν 2 3 RR αβ ) where our sign convention for the curvature shows up in the derivative terms. We have the following in an orthonormal basis: R 0 303 = h h2) R 0303 = h h2) R 00 = h h2) R 33 = h h2) In a coordinate basis, R = 2 h h2) R α βµν = e R 0 303 = e α a eβ α 0 eβ b eµ c eν d R a bcd 3 eµ 0 eν 3 R 0 303 = h h2) R 0303 = hh 2) 4

g = 2 g2 g = ah The final two imply the first. Differentiate the third to get g = ah and substitute into the second, giving ah = 2 g2 Differentiate this and use the final again ah = gg ah = agh g = h h Therefore, it is sufficient to set h = a g, then solve the first equation, which may be integrated directly: ˆ 0 = 2g g g 2 g = g ) 2 3 g3 + b g = 3 g3 b dg = z 3 g3 b In general this gives an elliptic function. Inverting gives g z), which then gives h = a 3 g3 b. Consider the special case, b = 0. The integral for this special case is simpler, ˆ dg = z g 3/2 3 2 g = 3 z z 0 ) choosing z 0 = 0. Then we have 4 g = 3 z z 0) 2 g = 2 z 2 0 = 2 h g h g 2 = 2 24 h h z 3 44 z 4 0 = h + 3 z h dh h = 3 z dz ln h = ln z 3 h = a z 3 4
We also require 2 z 2 = h h = z3 a = 2 z 2 so we have a consistent solution. The metric for this special case is therefore 4.
