Hello,
What is the most general cylindrically symmetric line element in the canonical form?
Best regards.

It's not clear what you're asking for. Do you mean just axially symmetric, or whole cylinder symmetry? Rotating or nonrotating? Time-dependent or independent?btphysics said:What is the most general cylindrically symmetric line element in the canonical form?
A cylindrically symmetric line element canonical form is a mathematical expression used in the study of General Relativity. It describes the geometry of a spacetime that is cylindrically symmetric, meaning that it has the same properties in all directions around a central axis.
A cylindrically symmetric line element canonical form is unique in that it is specifically used to describe spacetimes that have cylindrical symmetry. Other forms, such as the Schwarzschild or Kerr solutions, describe different types of symmetries.
The variables in a cylindrically symmetric line element canonical form are typically the coordinates of the spacetime (t, r, θ, φ) and a set of constants that represent the mass and angular momentum of the system.
Cylindrically symmetric line element canonical forms are used in the study of General Relativity, specifically in the analysis of spacetimes that have cylindrical symmetry. They are used to describe the geometry of these spacetimes and to make predictions about the behavior of particles and light in these environments.
Cylindrically symmetric line element canonical forms have been used to study the gravitational effects of rotating cylinders, such as neutron stars or black holes. They have also been used in the study of cosmic strings, which are hypothetical objects that have cylindrical symmetry and could have formed in the early universe.
