A study of the neutrino-gravitation interaction

Description

A study of the neutrino-gravitation interaction is made in the framework of Einstein-Dirac coupled equations. Two classes of solutions are obtained, corresponding to two specific physical situations. One cosmological model with expansion is obtained, having neutrinos as the only curvature source; their properties and the parameters which can to characterize the solution as a cosmological model are studied. The second class of solutions corresponds to a naive complete model of a spherically symmetric star emitting neutrinos: the inner region is suposed to be built up of a spherically symmetric distribution of a perfect fluid, bounded in space and which emitts neutrinos; the star matter is considered transparent for neutrinos; the outer region contains only neutrinos and gravitational field. The problem of neutrino compatibility with spherically symmetric gravitational fields is examined. The local conservation laws and the function conditions of the inner and outer solutions in the fluid surface are studied and permit to characterize two kinds of solutions. In one case, the solution describes the neutrino emission phase, with consequent configuration contraction, immediately before the fluid to be completely contained in the interior of the schwarzchild radius, when the neutrino emission and the star contraction stop. The other possibility can correspond to a quasi-stationary configuration, with neutrino emission, where the relativistic equation of radiative equilibrium permits to define the equivalent of 'Radiation pressure' for neutrinos, which acts in the same sense of the gravitational pressure.

Abstract (Portuguese)

Um estudo da interacao gravitacao-neutrino e feito com base nas equacoes acopladas de Einstein-Dirac. Duas classes de solucoes sao obtidas, correspondendo a duas situacoes fisicas especificas. Um modelo cosmologico com expansao e obtido, tendo neutrinos como unica fonte de curvatura; suas propriedades e os parametros que podem carcterizar a solucao como modelo cosmologico sao estudados. A segunda classe de solucoes corresponde a um modelo completo simples de um estrela esfericamente simetrica emitindo neutrinos: a regiao interior e suposta ser constituida de uma distribuicao de fluido perfeito esfericamente simetrica, limitada no espaco e que emite neutrinos; a materia da estrela e considerada transparente para neutrinos; a regiao exterior contem somente neutrinos e campo gravitacional. O problema da compatibilidade de neutrinos com campos gravitacionais esfericamente simetricos e examinado. As leis de conservacao locais e as condicoes de juncao das solucoes interior e exterior na superficie do fluido sao estudadas e permitem caracterizar dois tipos de solucoes. Num caso, a solucao descreve a fase de emissao de neutrinos, com consequente contracao da configuracao, imediatamente antes de o fluido estar totalmente contido no interior do seu raio de Schwarzschild, quando a emissao de neutrinos e a contracao da estrela cessam. A outra possibilidade pode corresponder a uma configuracao quasi-estacionaria, com emissao de neutrinos, onde a equacao relativistica de equilibrio radiativo permite definir o equivalente de ''pressao de radiacao'' para neutrinos, que atual no mesmo sentido da pressao gravitacional.
