About the TRICK in coordinates introduced by Kruskal and Szekeres in
1961
I think that it is questionable to use this mathematical TRICK (see
below)
for constructing inner metric of Schwarzschild ???

Schwarzschild space)
The wordlines of radially moving photons
One technique for circumventing the problems of unsatisfactory
coordinates is to
Probe the space with geodesics which, after all, are
coordinate-independent and will
not be affected in any way by the boundaries of coordinate validity.
Out of many possibilities we shall use as probes the null-worldlines of
radially
moving photons.
We begin in the Schwarzschild coordinate system, which is the only one
we know.
On any null radial geodesic ( dT and dP both zero, T = theta, P = phi)
we have
0 = c^2 (1 - a / r ) dt^2 - dr^2 / ( 1 - a / r )
whence either
c dt = dr / ( 1 - a / r ) for a rising photon,
or
- c dt = dr / ( 1 - a / r ) for a falling photon.
These immediately integrate to
ct = r + a ln ( r - a ) + C ( rising photon )
- ct = r + a ln ( r - a ) + D ( falling photon ),
(9.1)
where C and D are constants of integration.
The TRICK is to use the constants of integration as new coordinates.
Since C = const
along the entire worldline of a rising photon, C will be a 'good'
coordinate whenever
that worldline penerates; the same is true for D and a falling photon.
Indeed, we can
do rather better by using the closely related coordinates U and V
defined by
U V = e ^( r / a ) ( r / a - 1 ), V / U = e ^( ct / a )
(9.2)
(these are nearly the coordinates introduced by Kruskal and Szekeres in
1961). In
the familiar region r > a, both U and V must be positive, but there is
no reason to
prohibit a passage to negative values. In thi way we discover a more
complete
description of the Schwarzschild space.
For convenience, plot U and V as Cartesian coordinates as shown in Fig.
9.1. (The
plot is of those events for which the polar angles T (theta) and P
(phi) take fixed values.
Please take a look this figure on page 108.) The original coordinate
grid now appears
as a network of hyperbolas ( r = constant > a ) and straight lines
( t = constant ), confined to one quadrant of the diagram. On the U and
V axes,
U V = 0, and thus r = a ; these axes represent the limits of validity
of the old coordinates.
On the other hand, the photon geodesics do not 'see' these axes;
there the spacetime looks
just as ordinary as it does elsewhere.
What the geodesics do see is the singular line at r = 0 ( that is, at U
V = -1).
This is a hyperbola whose future branch
( the future singularity ) the falling photon cannot avoid,
and at whose past branch ( the past singularity ) all the rising
photons originate.
The diagram stops there; the singularities are genuine, and cannot be
surmounted by
any further adjustments.
Any attempts to extend the space with new geodesics leads nowhere, and
the coordinates
U and V ( subject only to U V > -1) cover the whole of the
Schwarzschild space.

I think your entire argument is flawed. Or rather, I did not see any
argument to support this claim.

We begin in the Schwarzschild coordinate system, which is the only one
we know.

It may be the only coordinates YOU happen to know, but there are several
different well-known coordinates for Schwarzschild spacetime.

On any null radial geodesic ( dT and dP both zero, T = theta, P = phi)
we have [integrating]
ct = r + a ln ( r - a ) + C ( rising photon )
- ct = r + a ln ( r - a ) + D ( falling photon ),
where C and D are constants of integration.
The TRICK is to use the constants of integration as new coordinates.

That simply is not possible. C and D do indeed label the "photons", but
they are in no way coordinates -- coordinate tuples must be in a 1-to-1
relationship with points in the manifold, and C and D manifestly are not
(a given value of C applies to the entire worldline of that particular
"photon").
I put "photon" in quotes, as that word normally has quantum
implications utterly unrelated to this. Please read "light
pulse" for "photon"....

Indeed, we can
do rather better by using the closely related coordinates U and V

It's not at all clear how U and V are "related" to C and D.

defined by
U V = e ^( r / a ) ( r / a - 1 ), V / U = e ^( ct / a )

At least those are coordinates (ignoring \theta and \phi, of course).
But it's not clear what their domain of validity is -- it is especially
not clear whether or not they apply at r=a (your a is normally notated
as 2M, the value of r at the event horizon) because r and t are
themselves not well-behaved there....
It is known that Kruskal's U and V are indeed well behaved at r=a; but I
don't have your reference and am not familiar with these particular
coordinates.
As I said above, I don't see how this relates to your original claim at all.

First I think that correct form of result of integration should be
ct = r + a ln (abs( r - a )) + C (rising photon)
-ct = r + a ln (abs( r - a )) + D (falling photon)
(9.1)(correct)
where abs means absolute value and where C and D are constants of

But anyhow even though we have these new coordinates
UV = e^( r/a ) ( r/a - 1 ), V/U = e^(ct / a) (9.2)
I would allow to use it only for region r > a, where both U and V must
be positive. I think that we have no physical observation which would
allow
to a passage to negative values (only mathematical reasons are not
enough) ?
Only really considerable physical matters which I know about inside the
event horizon of black hole are those H-M's drawings which tells us
(as I have understood) something about distribution of areas which
absorbs neutrinos and areas where neutrinos can move freely inside
the event horizon of black hole !!!

Tom Roberts could you please comment the following first try
(SI-units now, and Russian signature convention):
I would like to try following two (possible very rough and I'am not
sure would this be correct at all ???) metrics for H-M's black hole:
ds^2=3D [1-2Gm/(rc^2)] dt^2-[1-2Gm/(rc^2)]^-1 dr^2 +
+ r^2 (dT^2 + sin^2 T dP^2)
(T =3D theta, P =3D phi, this solution valid only for the case 0 < r <
2Gm/c^2
and only for areas where neutrinos can move freely)
ds^2=3D [1+2Gm/(rc^2)] dt^2-[1+2Gm/(rc^2)]^-1 dr^2 +
+ r^2 (dT^2 + sin^2 T dP^2)
(T =3D theta, P =3D phi, this solution valid only for the case 0< r <
2Gm/c^2
and only for areas which absorbs neutrinos, r > 0 now but m has been
replaced
for -m from above metrics, crystal in center has acted like a "mirror"
???)
Compare to copy of my old article below:
"Already, a large number of exact solutions to the Einstein's equations
are known (cf. [3]).
The first of which (the Schwarzschild solution of 1916,
ds^2=3D [1-2Gm/(rc^2)] dt^2-[1-2Gm/(rc^2)]^-1 dr^2 +
+ r^2 (dT^2 + sin^2 T dP^2) (3)
(T =3D theta, P =3D phi, this solution valid only for the case r>2Gm/c^2)
in the commonly-used curvilinear coordinate system) has the meaning
of a sherically-symmetric point mass."

Gravitation, Theory of - A branch of field theory in theoretical
----------------------
and mathematical physics, extensively using geometrical methods of
investication.
The traditional subject of the theory of gravitation is the study of
gravitational interaction between material objects, acting on their
movement and structure (cf. Gravitation).
The subject of the theory of gravitation embraces, besides the analysis
of the gravitational field itself, also the space-time structure more
generally, the problem of quantization of gravity and its relations to
the theory of elementary particles.
Correspondingly, the mathematical apparatus used in the theory of
gravitation extended from the theory of second-order ordinary and
partial differential equations to differential (pseudo-Riemannian)
geometry, to the theory of functions of several complex variables and
complex manifolds, to topology, to the theory of groups, as well as
to spinor and twistor calculus. More and more often computers are
being used to do calculations (including symbolic calculations).
The foundations of the theory of gravitation were laid from the end
of the 16-th century onwards until the beginning of the 18-th century
in the works of G. Galilei and I. Newton.
In Newton's classical theory of gravitation the equation for the
potential P of the gravitational field has the form of the Poisson
equation
Laplace(P) =3D div(grad(P) =3D d^2 P/dx^2+ d^2 P/dy^2+ d^2 P/dz^2 =3D
=3D 4 pi G rho
where G is Newton's gravitational constant and rho is the mass density
of the field sources (d^2 P/dx^2 etc. means partial derivation).
The field strength is defined as
_
g =3D - grad(P),
while the force with which the field acts on a given test point mass
m is
_ _
F =3D m g
(the test mass itself does not disturb the field). Newton's second law
then gives the equation of motion of a test mass.
In a concrete setting, Newton's theory of gravitation is applied to
a number of problems in, e.g., ballistics and celestial mechanics.
Up till now it is sufficiently exact for the description of practically
all of celestial mechanics.
As a theory based on potentials, Newton's theory of gravitation was
(subsequently) a model for constructing the theory of electrostatics,
while the notion of a physical field, formulated in Maxwell's
electrodynamics, has had in turn an influence on the birth of
Einstein's relativistic theory of gravitation.
A=2E Eistein started the construction of a new theory of gravitation
with the introduction of the principle of finiteness of the velocity
of propagation of interactions (including the gravitational one) and
of the equivalence principle.
He made the first step in this direction in 1907 and defined, in an
article together with M. Grossmann (1913), the way to the construction
of a relativistic theory of gravitation (general relativity theory)
as geometrization of physics.
The idea that a non-Euclidean geometry could be the actual one was
coined by C. F. Gauss and N. I. Lobachevskii.
In a sufficiently outlined form it was expounded by B. Riemann and
W=2E Clifford; however, it was Eistein who first related gravity with
the geometry not of three-dimensional space but with that of
four-dimensional space-time, which was to play a decisive role.
The gravitational field equations were given in a final form by
D=2E Hilbert (1915) and Einstein (1916, who correctly stated them
earlier for a field in vacuum).
In the relativistic theory of gravitation the geometrical
characteristics of the space-time manifold play at the same time the
role of variables describing the gravitational field.
In the squared line element
ds^2 =3D g_uv dx^u dx^v,
(This is due summation convention really ds^2 =3D SUM_uv g_uv dx^u dx^v,
where SUM_uv is the normal summation mark taken over u=3D1,2,3,4,
v=3D1,2,3,4. Forth index corresponds to time or ct (in distance
dimensions) and other three corresponds to usual x,y,z)
which metrizes space-time, the indefinite metric tensor (here of
signature +---, + sign for ct and - signs for x,y,z or r, theta, psi
in metric) plays the role of the multi-component gravitational
potental.
The equation of the light cone ds^2 =3D 0 is used in the formulation
of the general-relativistic causality principle.
The connection coefficients, determining parallel displacement and
covariant differentiation
g_uv;a =3D 0
(SUM_uva g_uv;a =3D 0) play the role of field strengths.
The Riemann curvature tensor (cf. Riemann tensor) can be expressed as
combination of derivatives of those field strengts, i.e. characterizes
the non-homogeneity of this field.
The Ricci tensor R_uv (the contracted curvature tensor, 'divergence
of the field strengths' in classical potential theory) can be
algebraically expressed in terms of the energy-momentum (stress-energy)
tensor T_uv of the gravitational field sources, i.e. of matter and
fields (except the gravitational field itself), thus giving the
Einstein's equations
R_uv - 1/2 g_uv R =3D 8 pi G/ c^4 T_uv (1)
(Tensor's are used due that this equation has the same independent
form in all different coordinate systems. If I remember right Einstein
first proposed this equation without 1/2 g_uv R term, and Hilbert
corrected it to the form (1) due to conservation laws of physics.)
The left-hand side of these equations is non-linear in metric tensor
and its first derivatives, but in the case of a weak gravitational
field the non-linearity may be separated as an individual tensor
which, after being carried over to the right-hand side, can be
combined with the sources (hence the treatment of non-linearity of a
gravitational field as an expression of its self-interaction).
The equation of motion of a test point mass in an external
gravitational field can be written as the equation of geodesics
d^2 x^u /ds^2 + K^u _ab dx^a /ds dx^b /ds =3D 0 (2)
(Here is due summation convention really summation taken over
u =3D 1,2,3, a =3D 1,2,3, b =3D 1,2,3 and K^u _ab are Christoffel symbols
of second kind (check summation over indices, in 3-dim space, indexes
run from 1 to 2))
and does not contain the mass of the particle (i.e. under otherwise
identical conditions, test point particles of various masses move
identically).
This expresses the equivalence principle, corresponding here to the
equality of the inertial and gravitational masses (a fact that was
experimentally confirmed with a precision of 1:10^12; this work was
done by by R. E=F6tv=F6s, R. Dicke; the precision mentioned was obtained
by V. B. Braginkii).
(My remark: This principle is only locally valid and not globally
valid.)
In another formulation, known since Einstein's first work, this
principle states the local equivalence of gravitation and acceleration:
In a freely-falling laboratory without rotation, occupying a small
space, and for a short time, one can not notice the existence of
gravitation, whatever physical experiment one performs.
Equation (2) is the first approximation to the problem for systems of
non-test bodies.
In 1938-1939 Einstein, L. Infield, B. Hoffmann and V. A. Fock
[V. A. Fok] discovered simultaneously a method for finding the further
approximations (the n-body problem in general relativity theory).
The equations of other (non-gravitational) fields, e.g. an
electromagnetic field, are obtained from the usual theory of the
corresponding fields in the flat world under the condition of general
covariance (this requires that all equations of physics should be
expressed in tensor equations).
All field equations, including (1), as well the equation of motion (2),
follow from the principle of extremal action with correspondingly
given Lagrange functions.
In the general theory one examines self-consistency of systems of
equations, but often, in view of their complexity, some or all
non-gravitational fields are treated as test fields (for them a
non-self-consistent problem with external gravitational fields is to
be solved).
Because of the non-linearity of Einstein's equations special methods
for solving them exactly have been developed (approximate solutions
can not reflect the specifics of a problem).
The choice of a suitable basis (tetrad) is specially important.
Cartan's method of exterior forms is often used (cf. Cartan method
of exterior forms).
A complex null (light-like) tetrad is used in the very effective
Newman-Penrose formalism (see [3]).
As applied to Einstein's equations, new methods of
B=E5cklund-transformation type of the inverse scattering problem
have been developed (the theory of solitons, cf. Soliton).
Already, a large number of exact solutions to the Einstein's equations
are known (cf. [3]).
The first of which (the Schwarzschild solution of 1916,
ds^2=3D [1-2Gm/(rc^2)] dt^2-[1-2Gm/(rc^2)]^-1 dr^2 +
+ r^2 (dT^2 + sin^2 T dP^2) (3)
(T =3D theta, P =3D phi, this solution valid only for the case r>2Gm/c^2)
in the commonly-used curvilinear coordinate system) has the meaning
of a sherically-symmetric point mass.

From the physical point of view, solutions to Einstein's equations may

be subdivided into vacuum fields outside local sources, gravitational
fields, Einstein-Maxwell fields, gravitational wave fields,
cosmological solutions, etc.
Various methods for classifying the pseudo-Riemannian spaces that aid
in constructing solutions to Einstein's equations with desired
properties and in interpreting already-known solutions have been
developed.
These are:
1) an algebraic classification by properties of the Weyl
conformal curvature tensor (the three Petrov types - I, II, III, and
two degenerate subtypes D and N, as well as the trivial case, type 0,
corresponding to conformally-flat spaces; it is often taken that N and
III correspond to gravitational wave fields);
2) an algebraic classification by properties of the Ricci tensor (or
energy-momentum tensor); and
3) a classification by groups of motions (isometries: mappings of a
space-time onto itself by Lie displacements without changing the
metric). In 3-dimensional space, supposing it is homogeneous, the last
classification leads to the nine Bianchi types, which play an
important role in the theory of homogeneous cosmological models.
To obtain, and especially, to study solutions of Einstein's equations
one more and more often uses computer; symbolic computations are
successfully employed in this area.
There are reports that the identification problem for metrics given
in differential coordinate systems has been solved with aid of a
computer.
To compare the inferences from Einstein's theory of gravitation and
its various modifications and generalizations there has been an
attempt to develop a phenomenological method of description of the
metric tensor and gravitational effects ('parametrized post-Newtonian
theory of gravitation').
When analyzing concrete solutions of Einstein's equations, an important
role is played by the problem of the completeness of the atlas of
charts of the given manifold (hence the development of extension
methods); the search and investigation of singularities (their
definition is made fundamentally more difficult by the indefineteness
of the metric); and the computation of asymptotic (including
topological) properties of solutions in the case of insular systems.
Problems in Einstein's theory of gravitation lead to the formulation
of a new important concept in pseudo-Riemannian geometry - that of a
horizon.
Although a horizon (one distinguishes between the event, the particles,
the Cauchy, the causality, and the apparent horizon) is not a set of
singular points, it can be invariantly distinguished in space-time.
Thus, the event horizon in an asymptotically-flat world is defined as
the limit of the set of events, i.e. of 4-dimensional points, from
which one still may leave towards infinity while remaining within the
light cone.
If an event horizon exists, then the domain bounded by it in space-time
(from which it is impossible to go to infinity without crossing the
light cone) is called the black hole; the simplest example of it is
described by the extension of the Schwarzschild metric (3).
Inside the black hole there are singularities (in particular, some
invariants of the Riemann curvature of (3) diverge (go to infinity)
as r->0).
Moreover, the Schwarzschild singularity is space-like (ds^2<0),
while for other black holes (the general case is a Kerr-Newmann
metric, [3]) it may also be time-like (ds^2>0).
Astrophysical applications of general relativity theory have shown
that black holes can be formed as result of gravitational collapse
of massive stars; a series of candidates for the role of black hole
have been considered among the observed celestial bodies which could
be disclosed by processes occurring in their outer domains where the
gravitational forces are strong.
It is considered that under so-called energy conditions (in fact:
natural conditions on energy-momentum tensor of matter) a singular
state in the past and future under the evolution of material systems
is inevitable (singularity theorems of R. Penrose, S. Hawking, et al.).
However, it is conjectured that the singularities are hidden by the
horizons (the 'cosmic censorship' hypothesis).
The foundations of the quantum theory of gravitation (both in the
sense of quantizing a gravitational field and of quantizing other
fields on the background of non-flat classical geometries) have been
developed.
One of the consequences is Hawking's effect of particle (photon, etc.)
generation by black holes, leading to their 'evaporation'.
Quantum effects of gravitation are important at the early stages of the
expansion of the Universe.
In the description of the quantum theory of gravitation one uses on the
canonical formalism of field theory, Feynman path integrals, etc.;
related to this one has developed Euclidean field theory (in the sense
of signature), has been investigated instanton solutions to Einstein's
equations, and has developed the Penrose twistor calculus, which is in
its results close to the theory of complexified spaces with a self-dual
or anti-self-dual Weyl conformal curvature tensor (H-spaces of
E=2E Newman).
Other generalizations of the theory of gravitation include:
the Einstein-Cartan theory with curvature and torsion;
the affine theory of gravitation;
the theory of gravitation with Lagrangian quadratic in the curvature;
the bimetric theories of gravitation, etc. (cf. [6]).
Einstein's theory of gravitation leads to effects that are new as
compared with Newton's theory; however, these effects are difficult to
discover experimentally.
Apart from these, both theories are in mutual agreement. Up till now,
the following effects have been verified:
gravitational red shift;
bending of light rays;
perihelion advance of a planetary orbit;
non-stationary (expansion) of the Universe.
The effects of gravitational radiation have been verified indirectly
(by the loss of energy of a two-body system resolving around a common
centre of mass).
Not a single fact contradicting Einstein's theory of gravitation has
been found.
On the edge of the reach of experiments today are:
gravitational waves coming from cosmic sources, and dragging effects
in gravitational fields on rotating bodies (precession of the axis of
a gyroscope and others).

I think that it is questionable to use this mathematical TRICK (s=

below)
for constructing inner metric of Schwarzschild ???


I think your entire argument is flawed. Or rather, I did not see any
argument to support this claim.


First I think that correct form of result of integration should be

ct =3D r + a ln (abs( r - a )) + C (rising photon)

-ct =3D r + a ln (abs( r - a )) + D (falling photon)
(9.1)(correct)

where abs means absolute value and where C and D are constants of
integration.

But anyhow even though we have these new coordinates

UV =3D e^( r/a ) ( r/a - 1 ), V/U =3D e^(ct / a) (9.2)

I would allow to use it only for region r > a, where both U and V must
be positive. I think that we have no physical observation which would
allow
to a passage to negative values (only mathematical reasons are not
enough) ?

Only really considerable physical matters which I know about inside t=

he


event horizon of black hole are those H-M's drawings which tells us
(as I have understood) something about distribution of areas which
absorbs neutrinos and areas where neutrinos can move freely inside
the event horizon of black hole !!!


We begin in the Schwarzschild coordinate system, which is the onl=

y one

we know.


It may be the only coordinates YOU happen to know, but there are se=

veral

different well-known coordinates for Schwarzschild spacetime.


On any null radial geodesic ( dT and dP both zero, T =3D theta, =

P =3D phi)

we have [integrating]
ct =3D r + a ln ( r - a ) + C ( rising photon )
- ct =3D r + a ln ( r - a ) + D ( falling photon ),
where C and D are constants of integration.
The TRICK is to use the constants of integration as new coordinat=

es.


That simply is not possible. C and D do indeed label the "photons",=

but

they are in no way coordinates -- coordinate tuples must be in a 1-=

to-1

relationship with points in the manifold, and C and D manifestly ar=

e not

(a given value of C applies to the entire worldline of that particu=

lar

"photon").

I put "photon" in quotes, as that word normally has quantum
implications utterly unrelated to this. Please read "light
pulse" for "photon"....


Indeed, we can
do rather better by using the closely related coordinates U and V


It's not at all clear how U and V are "related" to C and D.

defined by
U V =3D e ^( r / a ) ( r / a - 1 ), V / U =3D e ^( ct / a )


At least those are coordinates (ignoring \theta and \phi, of course=

)=2E

But it's not clear what their domain of validity is -- it is especi=

ally

not clear whether or not they apply at r=3Da (your a is normally no=

tated

as 2M, the value of r at the event horizon) because r and t are
themselves not well-behaved there....

It is known that Kruskal's U and V are indeed well behaved at r=3Da=

; but I

don't have your reference and am not familiar with these particular
coordinates.


Please take a look reference mentioned.

As I said above, I don't see how this relates to your original clai=

Gravitation, Theory of - A branch of field theory in theoretical
----------------------
and mathematical physics, extensively using geometrical methods of
investication.

The traditional subject of the theory of gravitation is the study of
gravitational interaction between material objects, acting on their
movement and structure (cf. Gravitation).

The subject of the theory of gravitation embraces, besides the analysis
of the gravitational field itself, also the space-time structure more
generally, the problem of quantization of gravity and its relations to
the theory of elementary particles.

Correspondingly, the mathematical apparatus used in the theory of
gravitation extended from the theory of second-order ordinary and
partial differential equations to differential (pseudo-Riemannian)
geometry, to the theory of functions of several complex variables and
complex manifolds, to topology, to the theory of groups, as well as
to spinor and twistor calculus. More and more often computers are
being used to do calculations (including symbolic calculations).

The foundations of the theory of gravitation were laid from the end
of the 16-th century onwards until the beginning of the 18-th century
in the works of G. Galilei and I. Newton.

In Newton's classical theory of gravitation the equation for the
potential P of the gravitational field has the form of the Poisson
equation

Laplace(P) =3D div(grad(P) =3D d^2 P/dx^2+ d^2 P/dy^2+ d^2 P/dz^2 =3D

=3D 4 pi G rho

where G is Newton's gravitational constant and rho is the mass density
of the field sources (d^2 P/dx^2 etc. means partial derivation).

The field strength is defined as
_
g =3D - grad(P),

while the force with which the field acts on a given test point mass
m is
_ _
F =3D m g

(the test mass itself does not disturb the field). Newton's second law
then gives the equation of motion of a test mass.

In a concrete setting, Newton's theory of gravitation is applied to
a number of problems in, e.g., ballistics and celestial mechanics.

Up till now it is sufficiently exact for the description of practically
all of celestial mechanics.

As a theory based on potentials, Newton's theory of gravitation was
(subsequently) a model for constructing the theory of electrostatics,
while the notion of a physical field, formulated in Maxwell's
electrodynamics, has had in turn an influence on the birth of
Einstein's relativistic theory of gravitation.

A. Eistein started the construction of a new theory of gravitation
with the introduction of the principle of finiteness of the velocity
of propagation of interactions (including the gravitational one) and
of the equivalence principle.

He made the first step in this direction in 1907 and defined, in an
article together with M. Grossmann (1913), the way to the construction
of a relativistic theory of gravitation (general relativity theory)
as geometrization of physics.

The idea that a non-Euclidean geometry could be the actual one was
coined by C. F. Gauss and N. I. Lobachevskii.

In a sufficiently outlined form it was expounded by B. Riemann and
W. Clifford; however, it was Eistein who first related gravity with
the geometry not of three-dimensional space but with that of
four-dimensional space-time, which was to play a decisive role.

The gravitational field equations were given in a final form by
D. Hilbert (1915) and Einstein (1916, who correctly stated them
earlier for a field in vacuum).

In the relativistic theory of gravitation the geometrical
characteristics of the space-time manifold play at the same time the
role of variables describing the gravitational field.

In the squared line element

ds^2 =3D g_uv dx^u dx^v,

(This is due summation convention really ds^2 =3D SUM_uv g_uv dx^u dx^v,
where SUM_uv is the normal summation mark taken over u=3D1,2,3,4,
v=3D1,2,3,4. Forth index corresponds to time or ct (in distance
dimensions) and other three corresponds to usual x,y,z)

which metrizes space-time, the indefinite metric tensor (here of
signature +---, + sign for ct and - signs for x,y,z or r, theta, psi
in metric) plays the role of the multi-component gravitational
potental.

The equation of the light cone ds^2 =3D 0 is used in the formulation
of the general-relativistic causality principle.

The connection coefficients, determining parallel displacement and
covariant differentiation

g_uv;a =3D 0

(SUM_uva g_uv;a =3D 0) play the role of field strengths.

The Riemann curvature tensor (cf. Riemann tensor) can be expressed as
combination of derivatives of those field strengts, i.e. characterizes
the non-homogeneity of this field.

The Ricci tensor R_uv (the contracted curvature tensor, 'divergence
of the field strengths' in classical potential theory) can be
algebraically expressed in terms of the energy-momentum (stress-energy)
tensor T_uv of the gravitational field sources, i.e. of matter and
fields (except the gravitational field itself), thus giving the
Einstein's equations

R_uv - 1/2 g_uv R =3D 8 pi G/ c^4 T_uv (1)

(Tensor's are used due that this equation has the same independent
form in all different coordinate systems. If I remember right Einstein
first proposed this equation without 1/2 g_uv R term, and Hilbert
corrected it to the form (1) due to conservation laws of physics.)

The left-hand side of these equations is non-linear in metric tensor
and its first derivatives, but in the case of a weak gravitational
field the non-linearity may be separated as an individual tensor
which, after being carried over to the right-hand side, can be
combined with the sources (hence the treatment of non-linearity of a
gravitational field as an expression of its self-interaction).

The equation of motion of a test point mass in an external
gravitational field can be written as the equation of geodesics

d^2 x^u /ds^2 + K^u _ab dx^a /ds dx^b /ds =3D 0 (2)

(Here is due summation convention really summation taken over
u =3D 1,2,3, a =3D 1,2,3, b =3D 1,2,3 and K^u _ab are Christoffel symbols
of second kind (check summation over indices, in 3-dim space, indexes
run from 1 to 2))

and does not contain the mass of the particle (i.e. under otherwise
identical conditions, test point particles of various masses move
identically).

This expresses the equivalence principle, corresponding here to the
equality of the inertial and gravitational masses (a fact that was
experimentally confirmed with a precision of 1:10^12; this work was
done by by R. E=F6tv=F6s, R. Dicke; the precision mentioned was obtained
by V. B. Braginkii).

(My remark: This principle is only locally valid and not globally
valid.)

In another formulation, known since Einstein's first work, this
principle states the local equivalence of gravitation and acceleration:
In a freely-falling laboratory without rotation, occupying a small
space, and for a short time, one can not notice the existence of
gravitation, whatever physical experiment one performs.

Equation (2) is the first approximation to the problem for systems of
non-test bodies.

In 1938-1939 Einstein, L. Infield, B. Hoffmann and V. A. Fock
[V. A. Fok] discovered simultaneously a method for finding the further
approximations (the n-body problem in general relativity theory).

The equations of other (non-gravitational) fields, e.g. an
electromagnetic field, are obtained from the usual theory of the
corresponding fields in the flat world under the condition of general
covariance (this requires that all equations of physics should be
expressed in tensor equations).

All field equations, including (1), as well the equation of motion (2),
follow from the principle of extremal action with correspondingly
given Lagrange functions.

In the general theory one examines self-consistency of systems of
equations, but often, in view of their complexity, some or all
non-gravitational fields are treated as test fields (for them a
non-self-consistent problem with external gravitational fields is to
be solved).

Because of the non-linearity of Einstein's equations special methods
for solving them exactly have been developed (approximate solutions
can not reflect the specifics of a problem).

The choice of a suitable basis (tetrad) is specially important.

Cartan's method of exterior forms is often used (cf. Cartan method
of exterior forms).

A complex null (light-like) tetrad is used in the very effective
Newman-Penrose formalism (see [3]).

As applied to Einstein's equations, new methods of
B=E5cklund-transformation type of the inverse scattering problem
have been developed (the theory of solitons, cf. Soliton).

Already, a large number of exact solutions to the Einstein's equations
are known (cf. [3]).

The first of which (the Schwarzschild solution of 1916,

ds^2=3D [1-2Gm/(rc^2)] dt^2-[1-2Gm/(rc^2)]^-1 dr^2 +

+ r^2 (dT^2 + sin^2 T dP^2) (3)

(T =3D theta, P =3D phi, this solution valid only for the case r>2Gm/c^2)
in the commonly-used curvilinear coordinate system) has the meaning
of a sherically-symmetric point mass.

From the physical point of view, solutions to Einstein's equations may

be subdivided into vacuum fields outside local sources, gravitational
fields, Einstein-Maxwell fields, gravitational wave fields,
cosmological solutions, etc.

Various methods for classifying the pseudo-Riemannian spaces that aid
in constructing solutions to Einstein's equations with desired
properties and in interpreting already-known solutions have been
developed.

These are:

1) an algebraic classification by properties of the Weyl
conformal curvature tensor (the three Petrov types - I, II, III, and
two degenerate subtypes D and N, as well as the trivial case, type 0,
corresponding to conformally-flat spaces; it is often taken that N and
III correspond to gravitational wave fields);

2) an algebraic classification by properties of the Ricci tensor (or
energy-momentum tensor); and

3) a classification by groups of motions (isometries: mappings of a
space-time onto itself by Lie displacements without changing the
metric). In 3-dimensional space, supposing it is homogeneous, the last
classification leads to the nine Bianchi types, which play an
important role in the theory of homogeneous cosmological models.

To obtain, and especially, to study solutions of Einstein's equations
one more and more often uses computer; symbolic computations are
successfully employed in this area.

There are reports that the identification problem for metrics given
in differential coordinate systems has been solved with aid of a
computer.

To compare the inferences from Einstein's theory of gravitation and
its various modifications and generalizations there has been an
attempt to develop a phenomenological method of description of the
metric tensor and gravitational effects ('parametrized post-Newtonian
theory of gravitation').

When analyzing concrete solutions of Einstein's equations, an important
role is played by the problem of the completeness of the atlas of
charts of the given manifold (hence the development of extension
methods); the search and investigation of singularities (their
definition is made fundamentally more difficult by the indefineteness
of the metric); and the computation of asymptotic (including
topological) properties of solutions in the case of insular systems.

Problems in Einstein's theory of gravitation lead to the formulation
of a new important concept in pseudo-Riemannian geometry - that of a
horizon.

Although a horizon (one distinguishes between the event, the particles,
the Cauchy, the causality, and the apparent horizon) is not a set of
singular points, it can be invariantly distinguished in space-time.

Thus, the event horizon in an asymptotically-flat world is defined as
the limit of the set of events, i.e. of 4-dimensional points, from
which one still may leave towards infinity while remaining within the
light cone.

If an event horizon exists, then the domain bounded by it in space-time
(from which it is impossible to go to infinity without crossing the
light cone) is called the black hole; the simplest example of it is
described by the extension of the Schwarzschild metric (3).

Inside the black hole there are singularities (in particular, some
invariants of the Riemann curvature of (3) diverge (go to infinity)
as r->0).

Moreover, the Schwarzschild singularity is space-like (ds^2<0),
while for other black holes (the general case is a Kerr-Newmann
metric, [3]) it may also be time-like (ds^2>0).

Astrophysical applications of general relativity theory have shown
that black holes can be formed as result of gravitational collapse
of massive stars; a series of candidates for the role of black hole
have been considered among the observed celestial bodies which could
be disclosed by processes occurring in their outer domains where the
gravitational forces are strong.

It is considered that under so-called energy conditions (in fact:
natural conditions on energy-momentum tensor of matter) a singular
state in the past and future under the evolution of material systems
is inevitable (singularity theorems of R. Penrose, S. Hawking, et al.).

However, it is conjectured that the singularities are hidden by the
horizons (the 'cosmic censorship' hypothesis).

The foundations of the quantum theory of gravitation (both in the
sense of quantizing a gravitational field and of quantizing other
fields on the background of non-flat classical geometries) have been
developed.

One of the consequences is Hawking's effect of particle (photon, etc.)
generation by black holes, leading to their 'evaporation'.

Quantum effects of gravitation are important at the early stages of the
expansion of the Universe.

In the description of the quantum theory of gravitation one uses on the
canonical formalism of field theory, Feynman path integrals, etc.;
related to this one has developed Euclidean field theory (in the sense
of signature), has been investigated instanton solutions to Einstein's
equations, and has developed the Penrose twistor calculus, which is in
its results close to the theory of complexified spaces with a self-dual
or anti-self-dual Weyl conformal curvature tensor (H-spaces of
E. Newman).

Other generalizations of the theory of gravitation include:
the Einstein-Cartan theory with curvature and torsion;
the affine theory of gravitation;
the theory of gravitation with Lagrangian quadratic in the curvature;
the bimetric theories of gravitation, etc. (cf. [6]).

Einstein's theory of gravitation leads to effects that are new as
compared with Newton's theory; however, these effects are difficult to
discover experimentally.

Apart from these, both theories are in mutual agreement. Up till now,
the following effects have been verified:
gravitational red shift;
bending of light rays;
perihelion advance of a planetary orbit;
non-stationary (expansion) of the Universe.

The effects of gravitational radiation have been verified indirectly
(by the loss of energy of a two-body system resolving around a common
centre of mass).

Not a single fact contradicting Einstein's theory of gravitation has
been found.

On the edge of the reach of experiments today are:
gravitational waves coming from cosmic sources, and dragging effects
in gravitational fields on rotating bodies (precession of the axis of
a gyroscope and others).

Editoral comments.

As noted above, a number of features characteristic for soliton
theory (completely-integrable systems theory) also turns up in the
theory of Einstein's equations.

They include B=E5cklund transformations [A1],
dressing transformations
(in this context often referred to as
Kinnersley-Chitre transformations,
Hauser-Ernst transformations,
Hoenselaers-Kinnersley-Xanthopoulos transformations
(HKX-transformations)) [A2],
superposition principles [A3], [A4],
the use of suitable Riemann-Hilbert problems [A2], [A5],
the occurrence of hierarchies, and further considerations
based on symmetry ideas [A6], [A7].

I now have that Tolmans book and one old email in my hands:
First point:
I wrote an article "The solution about Schwarzscild inner metric ?"
in sci.physics.relativity, sci.astro, sci.physics and
sci.math 27 August 1999 11:18, but I could no longer found it
from the net with aid of Google search. Fortunately I have a paper
copy which I copy (modified partly) below:
In Tolman's book (pages 245-247) the Schwarzscild inner metric
is of the form:
ds^2 = -e^L dr^2 - r^2 (dP^2+sin^2 P dPhi^2)+ e^v dt^2 (96.1)
e^L and e^v are found ( case rho_00 = 0 and Cosmological
constant = 0) from the following equations:
2pi p_0 = e^(-L) (v'/r+1/r^2)-1/r^2 (96.4)
0 = e^(-L) (L'/r - 1/r^2) + 1/r^2 (96.5)
dp_0/dr = -p_0 v'/2 (96.6)

From these it follows that

e^(-L) = 1 + C/r
where C is constant of integration
and
p_0 = const. e^(-v/2)
and
e^(v/2) e^(-L) (L'/r+v'/r) = const.
and finally
e^(v/2) (C/r^3+Cv'/r^2+v'/r) = const.
If I have calculated right then I would have
e^v = 1 + C/r
and const. = 0. And by choosing C = 2M, I would
have
ds^2=-dr^2/(1+2M/r)-r^2(dP^2+sin^2 P dPhi^2)+(1+2M/r)dt^2

ds^2 = f^2*dt^2 - dr^2/f^2, f^2*dt/ds = const,

I would first try to do this in areas which absorbs neutrinos

(My now added question: H-M's black hole should be the aim point

"Since it has no "event horizon" where time would grind to halt,
it corresponds to a "naked singularity," in GR lingo."

I notice one old printing error in eq. (96.4). Corrected below.
By the way H-M's Universe (although at the moment I have not very clear
picture about it) seems to be also like H-M's black hole (now you put
10^53 kg as a mass, big collection of neutrino crystals
in center of the space in place of a central "singularity") ???
I think that one important new thing would be mutual interactions
(perhaps only gravitational ???) between areas which absorbs
neutrinos and areas where neutrinos can move freely.
Maybe these two types of areas are also visible in WMAP's pictures
about temperature distribution of cosmic background radiation.
(H-M's light cones) ???

I think Hawking doesn't condsider Kruskal Coordinates
as being a valid answer because they still do not solve
the infinities at the singularity.
I think they are rubbish also.
thanks for pointing them out for what they are:
