A rotating homogeneous universe with an electromagnetic field.
Abstract
The field equations of general relativity are solved to describe a gravitational field due to a rotating homogeneous fluid in the presence of a Maxwellian source-free electromagnetic field. It turns out that the metric to describe this field is the well-known Robertson-Walker metric with positive space-time curvature or its particular case, the metric of the closed Einstein universe.
