Solving Einstein's Equation with Cosmological Constant

[Sissy]

Hello,

I don't understand how to solve this problem. I do not want a solution because I will calculate it by my own but I need some hints how to start.

I don't know what to do Here is the exercise:


Show that, if the cosmical constant term is retained in Einstein's equation, it reduces in empty space to R_{ij}+\Lambda g_{ij} = 0. Deduce that the spherically symmetric Schwarzschild solution (cf. equation (52.9)) is given by

b = 1- \dfrac{2m}{r} - \dfrac{1}{3} \Lambda r^2

Using the approximate equation (48.17), show that this implies the existence of an additional force of repulsion from the centre proportional to the radius r.

With

Equation (52.9) b = e^\beta = 1- \dfrac{2m}{r}

Equation (48.17) g_{44} = 1 + \dfrac{2U}{c^2}

U is probably the Newtonian potential function.


I have no idea how to start.

Thank you for giving me some hints.

greetings

Have you derived the Schwarzschild solution? Contract the field equations with the metric with upper indices to give you conditions on the Ricci scalar. Then the derivation should follow in the same manner.

In lecture we derived the Schwarzschild metric

\mathrm{d} s^2 = \dfrac{\mathrm{d} r^2}{1 - (2m/r)} + r^2 ( \mathrm{d} \Theta ^2 + sin^2 \Theta \mathrm{d} \Phi^2 ) -c^2 \left( 1 - \dfrac{2m}{r} \right) \mathrm{d} t^2

and we derived

b = 1 - \dfrac{2GM}{c^2 r}

and called r_s = \dfrac{2GM}{c^2} the Schwarzschild radius.

For the Einstein field equation we had

R_{ij} - \dfrac{1}{2} g_{ij} R = - \kappa T_{ij}

Because the space is empty in this exercise, the energy-momentum tensor vanish and I got the equation

R_{ij} - \dfrac{1}{2} g_{ij} R = 0

From the Schwarzschild metric I got the metric tensor

g_{ij} = \begin{pmatrix}<br /> \dfrac{1}{1- (2m/r)} &amp; 0 &amp; 0 &amp; 0 \\ <br /> 0 &amp; r^2 &amp; 0 &amp; 0 \\<br /> 0 &amp; 0 &amp; r^2 ~ sin^2 \Theta &amp; 0 \\<br /> 0 &amp; 0 &amp; 0 &amp; -c^2 + \frac{c^2 2m}{r}<br /> \end{pmatrix}<br />

And what shoul I contract now?

Thank you for helping me

Sorry, I made a mistake:

The field equation for empty space with cosmical constant ist

R_{ij} - \dfrac{1}{2} R g_{ij} + \Lambda g_{ij} = 0

And the exercise said, that R_{ij} + \Lambda g_{ij} = 0

So this means, that \dfrac{1}{2} R g_{ij} is 0

How this becomes zo zero?

Is my metric tensor correct?

Thanks for help
