Cylindrically symmetric gravitational-wavelike space–times

详细

We present Noether symmetries of a geodetic Lagrangian for a time-conformal cylindrically symmetric space–time. We introduce a time-conformal factor in the general cylindrically symmetric space–time to make it nonstatic and then find approximate Noether symmetries of the action of the corresponding Lagrangian. Taking the perturbation up to the first order, we find all Lagrangians for cylindrically symmetric space–times for which approximate Noether symmetries exist.
