Killing vectors and anisotropy

  • 1. Department of Physics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109 (United States)

Description

We consider an action that can generate fluids with three unequal stresses for metrics with a spacelike Killing vector. The parameters in the action are directly related to the stress anisotropies. The field equations following from the action are applied to an anisotropic cosmological expansion and an extension of the Gott-Hiscock cosmic string.
