摘要
We consider the electromagnetic resolution of the gravitational field. We show that under the duality transformation, in which active and passive electric parts of the Riemann curvature are interchanged, a fluid spacetime in comoving coordinates remains invariant in character with density and pressure transforming, while energy flux and anisotropic pressure remain unaltered. Furthermore, if the fluid admits a barotropic equation of state, p = (gamma - 1)rho where 1 less than or equal to gamma less than or equal to 2, which will transform to p = (2 gamma/(3 gamma - 2)-1)rho. Clearly the stiff fluid and dust are dual to each other, while rho + 3p = 0 will go to flat spacetime. However, the radiation (rho - 3p = 0) and the de Sitter (rho + p = 0) universes are self-dual.
