You have charged dust (pressure = 0, charge density/mass density = given constant). I suppose the total energy-momentum tensor of that system (including the rest energy and the EM field) cannot be expressed simply in terms of the arbitrary 4-velocity of the dust like for example the case of ideal fluid.

That's why, let's specialize to the case of charged dust that is homogeneous and isotropic, basically charged dust that expands in FRW universe. What is the total energy momentum tensor of that system either as an abstract geometric formula involving the 4-velocity of the dust or by components in the comoving coordinates?

I can't find a paper that discusses this case.

Sometimes there are stunning coincidences. I started to ponder this question, too, just a few hours ago, because it came up in a discussion.

I found only http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1974ApJ...190..279B"old paper. There seem to be some issues with isotropy, basically that a charged universe is impossible in the first place because there are no isotropic vector fields. Sounds logical, but the author claims to overcome this obstacle.
I hope someone can provide answers or links.

In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...
Abstract The gravitational-wave signal GW250114 was observed by the two LIGO detectors with a network matched-filter signal-to-noise ratio of 80. The signal was emitted by the coalescence of two black holes with near-equal masses ## m_1=33.6_{-0.8}^{+1.2} M_{⊙} ## and ## m_2=32.2_{-1. 3}^{+0.8} M_{⊙}##, and small spins ##\chi_{1,2}\leq 0.26 ## (90% credibility) and negligible eccentricity ##e⁢\leq 0.03.## Postmerger data excluding the peak region are consistent with the dominant quadrupolar...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. The Relativator was sold by (as printed) Atomic Laboratories, Inc. 3086 Claremont Ave, Berkeley 5, California , which seems to be a division of Cenco Instruments (Central Scientific Company)...
