1. Quadratures of Einstein's equation

Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

Tolman's problem for charged dust is solved in quadratures. The external solution (Reisner-Nordstrom) is obtained in the natural reference frames of charged test particles. The conditions for matching a charged dust sphere with a vacuum over a fixed Lagrangian sphere are formulated. They are equivalent to boundary conditions on the initial data.
