TY - JOUR A2 - Siopsis, George AU - Ahmed, Faizuddin AU - Rahaman, Farook PY - 2018 DA - 2018/04/08 TI - A Cylindrically Symmetric and Static Anisotropic Fluid Spacetime and the Naked Singularity SP - 7839619 VL - 2018 AB - A cylindrically symmetric and static solution of Einstein’s field equations was presented. The spacetime is conformally flat and regular everywhere except on the symmetry axis where it possesses a naked curvature singularity. The matter-energy source anisotropic fluids violate the weak energy condition (WEC) and diverge on the symmetry axis. We discuss geodesics motion of free test-particles near to the singularity, geodesic expansion in the metric to understand the nature of singularity which is naked or covered, and finally the C-energy of the spacetime.
