Abstract
The present research paper consists of the study of an -Einstein soliton in general relativistic space-time with a torse-forming potential vector field. Besides this, we try to evaluate the characterization of the metrics when the space-time with a semi-symmetric energy-momentum tensor admits an -Einstein soliton, whose potential vector field is torse-forming. In adition, certain curvature conditions on the space-time that admit an -Einstein soliton are explored and build up the importance of the Laplace equation on the space-time in terms of -Einstein soliton. Lastly, we have given some physical accomplishment with the connection of dust fluid, dark fluid and radiation era in general relativistic space-time admitting an -Einstein soliton.

1. Background and Motivations
Throughout the article, we shall utilize the following acronyms: GRS—general relativistic space-time, TFVF—torse-forming vector field, and EMT—energy-momentum tensor. Ricci’s soliton is well known among theoretical physicists because it is linked to string theory. It is well known that the theoretical physicists are interested in the Ricci soliton due to its association with string theory. In recent times, Ricci solitons are quite interesting in the field of differential geometry and geometric analysis as they characteristically present the Einstein metric. As a result, Ricci solitons in pseudo-Riemannian settings are extensively studied, and Hamilton introduced the concept of Ricci flow and extended it to address Thurston’s geometric hypothesis. A Ricci soliton is a location in Hamilton’s Ricci flow that is fixed (see details [1,2]) and an obvious extension of Einstein’s metric is defined on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold by
where stands for the Lie-derivative in the way of , is a constant and the Ricci tensor of g is presented by . The Ricci soliton is classified as follows:
- (i)
- If , then the Ricci soliton is said to be shrinking.
- (ii)
- for , then it is said to be expanding.
- (iii)
- If , then it is implied to be steady.
Pigoli et al. [3] began by assuming the soliton constant becomes a smooth function on M and denoted as a Ricci almost soliton. Besides, Barros et al. proved a Ricci almost soliton which belongs to the details in [4,5].
Cho and Kimura [6] introduced the concept of an -Ricci soliton as a generalization of Ricci soliton. An -Ricci soliton equation is given by:
for real constants and .
Now, the assumption of Einstein soliton was brought to light by G. Catino and L. Mazzieri [7] in 2016, which set up self-similar solutions to Einstein flow,
where S, g stand for Ricci tensor, Riemannian metric. The equation of the -Einstein soliton [8] is introduced by
where is the Lie derivative endowed with the vector field , and are real constants and r stands for scalar curvature. For , the data are termed an Einstein soliton [7].
In [9], authors proved the space-time admitting Ricci soliton. Later, Blaga [10] evolved a depiction of the perfect fluid space-time admitting -Ricci soliton and -Einstein solitons. Ricci solitons associated with perfect fluid space time were synthesized by Venkatesha et al. [11]. Some Ricci soliton endowed space-time has been explored by several authors (see [12,13,14]) extensively in different ways. The setting of contact and complex manifolds that contain Ricci solitons and Einstein solitons has been investigated very recently in [15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24]; see their generalizations. We can find more motivations of our work from some papers (see [25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35]). The enchantment of this universe is its symmetry, i.e., the symmetries of the universe force objects to keep their movement. However, each symmetry imposes the conservation of a quantity over time. For translational symmetry, this quantity is the momentum. For rotational symmetry, this quantity is the angular momentum. For temporal symmetry, this quantity is energy. It is also one of the scientific essences that may be utilized to explain anything from natural laws to other physical phenomena such as general relativity. In the early 19th century, Albert Einstein established the “Theory of General Relativity” (GR).
The EMT of type is of the form [36] for a perfect fluid space-time,
where the energy density and isotropic pressure, respectively, are denoted by and . Moreover, is 1-form, which corresponds to the unit vector and .
Furthermore, if , the ideal fluid is considered stiff matter [37]. Zel’dovich [38] initially established a stiff matter equation of state, which he employed in his cosmological model in that the primeval cosmos is considered to be a cold gas of baryons [38]. According to Zeldovich, the sound velocity of a stiff matter fluid is equivalent to the velocity of light. The radiation era was preceded by the stiff matter era with , the dark matter era with , and the dust matter era with , according to [37,39]. It also emerged in certain cosmological theories in which dark matter is comprised of relativistic self-gravitating Bose–Einstein condensate, as cited by [40].
2. GRS with TFVF
Without the cosmological constant, Einstein’s field equation is as follows:
where the EMT is denoted by , and the gravitational constant is . The Equation (5) suggests that matter dictates the geometry of space-time and that matter’s velocity is dictated by the metric tensor of the non-flat space. Let be a GRS that fulfills (5). Then, contracting the Equation (5) and seeing to yield
where . Now consider a specific scenario in which denotes a TFVF of the type [8,41].
We may also prove the following relations in a GRS if the vector field is torse-forming.
∀ . Utilizing (7), we conclude the following:
∀ .
3. Emergence of -Einstein Solitons on GRS
Let the metric of a GRS satisfy (3) for the -Einstein soliton equation that the vector field V potential replaces with for torse-forming. Then (12) and (3) identities give the following:
∀ . Now, we use the contract property in the above equation to find
Let a semi-symmetric EMT be given as
where the derivation on the tensor delas with . From Equation (16), we imply the following
which implies that
Now using (5), then (18), we have the following form
that gives , which means the space-time is Ricci semi-symmetric [42]. In view of (13) and (19), we find
This encourages the following:
Theorem 1.
Let semi-symmetric EMT endowed with GRS contain an -Einstein soliton , such that is a TFVF. Then and , where is the trace of the EMT.
Definition 1.
A space-time is present to be -flat if its -curvature tensor on n-dimensional manifold [43]
∀ and , identically zero.
Consider to be a GRS that is -flat. Then from (21), we have
Using (6), the above equation becomes
We take in (24) to yield
Inserting the value of given in (15), the preceding equation has the following form:
So, we established the following theorem:
Theorem 2.
Let be a GRS, which is -flat and admits an -Einstein soliton , where is a TFVF. Then
Definition 2.
If its pseudo-projective curvature tensor accordingly [44] in space-time is equal to zero
∀ and a, are constants, then space-time is preseted as pseudo-projectively flat.
Equation (27) reduces the following for exceptional case
We substitute into Equation (30) to give
provided . Now, we utilize identity (6) and locum the value of from the identity (15) to yield
Hence, we find the following theorem:
Theorem 3.
Let pseudo-projectively flat GRS contain an -Einstein soliton such that is a TFVF. Then provided
Definition 3.
A space-time is presented to be con-harmonically flat on n-dimensional manifold if its con-harmonic curvature tensor [45]
for all fields identically vanishes.
For con-harmonically flat GRS and implementation inner product with in (33), we have
Applying summation over after inserting in (34) and obtained formula for S from (13), we acquire
which implies that the space-time is flat. Next, by using (35), Equation (14) becomes
Therefore, we generate the following statement of the theorem:
Theorem 4.
Let conharmonically flat GRS consist of an -Einstein soliton such that is a TFVF. Then the space-time becomes flat and
The Q-curvature tensor formula for n-dimensional Riemannian manifold was initiated by Mantica and Suh [46] and presented notation is derived as
where is an arbitrary scalar function.
Definition 4.
If -curvature tensor is zero identically, then a space-time is -flat.
The following formula derived by considering GRS is -flat and exploring inner product with in (37)
Tracing (38) by setting , we arrive at
The above conclusion provides that the space-time is Einstein. Entering in (39) and utilizing Equation (13) for S, it provides
Now, we exchange the value of from the identity (15) to acquire
By previous conclusion, we obtain the following.
Theorem 5.
Let a -flat GRS consisting -Einstein soliton that is a TFVF. Then the space-time converts into Einstein and provides .
In (3), the metric of a GRS satisfies the -Einstein soliton , then the Lie derivative as
and with implementation (3), we have
Substituting (42) implies that
such that stands for the divergence of V. Now, in light of (6) and making use of from the identity (15), the previous equation reads
If we consider , for a smooth function f, the identity (44) turns into
where is the Laplacian equation confirmed by f. This leads to the following:
Theorem 6.
Assuming that is a GRS that admits an -Einstein soliton , then the Laplacian Equation (45) is satisfied for the Laplacian, where a smooth function .
4. -Einstein Soliton with Dust Fluid GRS
For the EMT defined in [47] and pressure-less fluid space-time, we have
Tracing after putting in (48), we have
So, from the previous identity, we obtain
Theorem 7.
If a dust fluid GRS contains an -Einstein soliton , then
Utilizing (49), we can give the following remark:
Remark 1.
If a dust fluid GRS contains an -Einstein soliton , then iff the vector field V is solenoidal.
5. -Einstein Soliton on Dark Fluid GRS
In this space-time, is organized by . Then, the structure of EMT (4) is
In view of (3), the above equation takes the form
Tracing Equation (52) after invoking , we have
So, we have finalized the following result:
Theorem 8.
If an -Einstein soliton is associated with dark fluid GRS, then the scalar curvature turns into
In view of (53), we achieve
Remark 2.
If a dark fluid GRS satisfies an -Einstein soliton , then the scalar curvature develops into iff the vector field V is solenoidal.
6. -Einstein Soliton Admitting Radiation Era in GRS
Now, characterization of radiation era is denoted by in the perfect fluid space-time. So, the feature of EMT (4) develops into
Tracing Equation (56) after replacing provides
So, we obtain the next theorem as:
Theorem 9.
If a radiation era GRS contains an -Einstein soliton , then
Also using the identity (57), we obtain
Remark 3.
If a radiation era GRS admits an -Einstein soliton , then V is solenoidal iff .
7. Conclusions Remark
We investigated the -Einstein soliton which is revealed by the space-time of general relativity with the semi-symmetrical tensor energy-momentum and determined the nature of the metrics, such that the potential vector field is twisted. Next, we established some interesting and needful results for —flat space-time, pseudo-projectively flat and -flat, admitting the -Einstein soliton. We have also shown that if the space-time is conharmonically flat and admits a -Einstein soliton, whose potential vector field is torse-forming, then the space-time becomes flat. We assumed the potential vector fields are of the gradient type of -Einstein soliton, thus the Laplace equation has been constructed.
The gravitational field contains the space-time curvature with the origin as an EMT in General Theory of Relativity. In mathematical language, the most effective tools for understanding general relativity are the relativistic fluids models and differential geometry. The geometry of the Lorentzian manifold starts with the investigation of the causal character of the manifold’s vectors; as a result of this causality, the Lorentzian manifold becomes a convenient choice for the study of general relativity. As a matter of the substance of space-time, the EMT plays a crucial role; the matter is considered to be fluid with density and pressure, as well as kinematic and dynamical characteristics such as velocity, vorticity, shear and expansion [44,46,48,49,50,51,52]. The -Einstein soliton is important as it can help in understanding the concepts of energy and entropy in general relativity. This property is the same as that of the heat equation due to which an isolated system loses the heat for a thermal equilibrium.
