Homework Statement

I am stuck on question 2, and give my working to question 1 - the ##B(r) ## part I am fine with the ##A(r)## part which clearly is the same in both regions seen by looking at ##G_{rr}## , and attempt, however I assume I have gone wrong in 1 please see below for details.

Homework Equations



##G_{uv}=R_{uv}-\frac{1}{2}Rg_{uv}=8\pi T_{uv} ##

##T_{uv}=0 \implies R=0 ## by trace of EFE which plugging this into EFE with RHS zero ##\iff R_{uv}=0##

Therefore we have for ##r>R## : ##G_{uv}=0##
for ## r < R ## : ## G_{tt}=8 \pi G \rho e^{2A(r)} ## and all other Einstein tensor components zero for this region.

The Attempt at a Solution


[/B]
I think my##e^{2 B(r) } ## must be wrong because, in order to get a metric expression for all ##r## we are asked to and need to impose some constraints that enable continuity at ##r=R## and ##r=0##. I think my methodology for ## r= R## is okay, to relate the two integration constants via setting ##B(r) ## obtained for ##r<R## equal to the constant obtained for ##r>R##. However, the only way I can see that you could talk to ##r=0## is via perhaps setting some integration constant to zero, such that you are preventing there being a singularity at ##r=0## , for e.g as done in the derivation of the FRW metric see here:

However with my expression obtained in (1) there is no such singularity at ##r=0##, I can't think of any other way we can impose some constraint from ##r=0##?

Here's how I got my ##B(r)##, looking at ##G_{tt}## with ##A(r)=0 ## gives, for ##r<R##:

##e^{-2B(r)} d B = 8\pi G r dr ##
##e^{-2B(r)}=-2\pi Gr^2 \rho + r_{01} ##

##r>R##:
##e^{-2B(r)}/r dB/dr =0 ##
##r_{02}=e^{-2B(r)} ##

and so looking at ##r=R## I have:
##r_{02}= -2\pi GR^2 \rho + r_{01} ##and trying to look at ##r=0##:
##e^{2B(r)}= \frac{1}{r_{01}-2\pi G \rho r^2} ##

(all I can conclude is that ##r_{01} \neq 0 ## )

##r_{01} ## and ## r_{02} ## both integration constants.

thanks...
