Can anybody please tell me how to represent a neutral antimatter body such as a planet or a star in the classical formulation of special and general relativities?
Thanks.
Thanks.

What do you mean by "represent a ... body"?
eg. can you show me how you would represent a regular matter body in SR and GR?
iirc: SR is about relative motion, and GR is about gravity - in a nutshell.
It is expected that antimatter and matter attract each other, and anything else would be a huge surprise. It would require serious modifications to relativity, and allow a violation of energy conservation and similar things.I raise the question because I have seen on various websites the treatment of a matter-anti-matter gravitational repulsion.
The classical representation of neutral antimatter bodies refers to the theoretical framework used to describe the physical properties and behavior of particles with equal mass but opposite charge to their corresponding matter particles.
This is considered an open problem because despite decades of research, there is still no complete and satisfactory understanding of how neutral antimatter bodies behave and interact with matter.
The main difference is that antimatter particles have the opposite charge to their corresponding matter particles, which results in different interactions and behaviors. For example, antimatter particles will repel matter particles, whereas matter particles will attract each other.
Solving this problem would provide a deeper understanding of the fundamental laws of physics and could potentially lead to groundbreaking advancements in technology, energy production, and space exploration.
Some current theories and approaches include experiments at particle accelerators, theoretical calculations using quantum field theory, and studies of cosmic rays and their interactions with matter. Scientists are also exploring the possibility of using advanced technologies, such as laser and magnetic fields, to manipulate and study antimatter particles.
