Exact relativistic cylindrical solution of disordered radiation
Abstract
A source-free disordered distribution of electromagnetic radiation is considered in the framework of Einstein's theory, and a time-independent exact solution with cylindrical symmetry is obtained. The gravitation and pressure effects of the radiation alone are sufficient to give the distribution an equilibrium. A finite maximum concentration is found on the axis of symmetry; this concentration decreases monotonically to zero outwards. Timelike and null geodesics are discussed.
