We study spherically symmetric spacetimes formatter distributions with isotropic pressuresWe generate new exact solutions to theEinstein field equations which also contain isotropic pressuresWe develop an algorithm that produces a new solution if a particularsolution is known The algorithm leads to a nonlinear Bernoulli equation which can be integrated in terms of arbitrary functionsWe use a conformally flat metric to show that the integrals may be expressed in terms of elementary functions It is important tonote that we utilise isotropic coordinates unlike other treatments
1 Introduction
We consider the interior of static perfect fluid spheres in gen-eral relativitywith isotropic pressuresThepredictions of gen-eral relativity have been shown to be consistent with obser-vational data in relativistic astrophysics and cosmology For adiscussion of the physical features of a gravitating model werequire an exact solution to the Einstein field equations Exactsolutions are crucial in the description of dense relativisticastrophysical problems Many solutions have been found inthe past For some comprehensive lists of known solutionsto the field equations refer to Delgaty and Lake [1] Finchand Skea [2] and Stephani et al [3] Many of these solutionsare not physically reasonable For physical reasonablenesswe require that the gravitational potentials and matter vari-ables are regular and well behaved causality of the spacetimemanifold is maintained and values for physical quantitiesfor example the mass of a dense star are consistent withobservation
Solutions have been found in the past bymaking assump-tions on the gravitational potentials matter distribution orimposing an equation of stateThese particular approaches doyield models which have interesting properties However inprinciple it would be desirable to have a general method thatproduces exact solutions in a systematic manner Some sys-tematic methods generated in the past are those of Rahman
and Visser [4] Lake [5] Martin and Visser [6] Boonsermet al [7] Herrera et al [8] Chaisi and Maharaj [9] andMaharaj and Chaisi [10] In general relativity we have thefreedomof using anywell-defined coordinate systemThe ref-erences mentioned above mainly use canonical coordinatesThe use of isotropic coordinates may provide new insightsand possibly lead to new solutions This is the approach thatwe follow in this paper We generate a new algorithm pro-ducing a new solution to Einstein field equations in isotropiccoordinates From a given solution we can find a new sol-ution with isotropic pressures
The objective of this paper is to find new classes of exactsolutions of the Einstein field equations with an unchargedisotropic matter distribution from a given seed metric InSection 2 we derive the Einstein field equations for neutralperfect fluids in static spherically symmetric spacetime Weintroduce new variables due to Kustaanheimo and Qvist [11]to rewrite the field equations and the condition of pressureisotropy in equivalent forms In Section 3 we introduce ouralgorithm and the master nonlinear second order differentialequation containing two arbitrary functions that has to besolved In Section 4 we present new classes of exact solutionsin terms of the arbitrary functions In Section 5 we givean example for a conformally flat metric showing that theintegrals generated in Section 4 may be explicitly evaluatedIn Section 6 we summarise the results obtained in this paper

2 The Model
We are modelling the interior of a dense relativistic star instrong gravitational fields The line element of the interiorspacetime with isotropic coordinates has the following form
1198891199042= minus1198602(119903) 1198891199052+ 1198612(119903) [119889119903

where 119860(119903) and 119861(119903) are arbitrary functions representingthe gravitational potentials Relativistic compact objects suchas neutron stars in astrophysics are described by this lineelementThe energy momentum tensor for the interior of thestar has the form of a perfect fluid

119886119906119887+ 119901119892119886119887 (2)
where 120588 is the energy density and 119901 is the isotropic pressureThese quantities are measured relative to a timelike unit four-velocity 119906119886 (119906119886119906

The Einstein field equations for (1) and (2) have the form

This is the master equation which has to be integrated toproduce an exact solution to the field equations
It is possible to write the system (3a)ndash(3c) in an equivalentform by introducing new variables We utilize a transforma-tion that has proven to be helpful in relativistic stellar physicsWe introduce the new variables
119909 equiv 1199032 119871 equiv 119861
minus1 119866 equiv 119871119860 (5)
The above transformation was first suggested by Kustaan-heimo and Qvist [11] On applying transformation (5) in thefield equations of (3a)ndash(3c) we obtain the equivalent system
120588 = 4 [2119909119871119871119909119909minus 3 (119909119871

(6c)
We note that (6a)ndash(6c) are highly nonlinear in both 119871 and 119866In this system there are three independent equations and fourunknowns 120588119901 119871 and119866 So we need to choose the functionalform for 119871 or119866 in order to integrate and obtain an exact solu-tionThe value of the transformation (5) is highlighted in thereduction of the condition of pressure isotropy On equating(6b) and (6c) we get
119871119866119909119909= 2119866119871
119909119909 (7)
which is the new condition of pressure isotropy which has asimpler compact form
3 The Algorithm
It is possible to find new solutions to the Einsteinrsquos equationsfrom a given seed metric Examples of this process are givenin the treatments of Chaisi and Maharaj [9] andMaharaj andChaisi [10] They found new models with anisotropic pres-sures from a given seed isotropic metric in Schwarzschildcoordinates Our intention is to find new models withisotropic pressures from a given solution in terms of theisotropic line element (1)
We can provide some new classes of exact solutions to theEinstein field equations by generating a new algorithm thatproduces a model from a given solutionWe assume a knownsolution of the form (119871 119866) so that
119871119866119909119909= 2119866119871
119909119909(8)
holds We seek a new solution (119871 119866) given by
119871 = 119871119890119892(119909)
119866 = 119866119890119891(119909)
(9)
where 119891(119909) and 119892(119909) are arbitrary functions On substituting(9) into (7) we obtain
(119871119866119909119909minus 2119866119871
119909119909) + 2 (119871119866

119909minus 21198922
119909) = 0
(10)
which is given in terms of two arbitrary functions 119891(119909) and119892(119909) Then realizing that (119871 119866) is a solution of (7) and using(8) we obtain the reduced result
(119891119909119909minus 2119892119909119909) + 2(
119866119909

119909) = 0
(11)
We need to demonstrate the existence of functions 119891(119909) and119892(119909) that satisfy (11) In general it is difficult to integrate (11)since it is given in terms of two arbitrary functions which arenonlinear
4 New Solutions
We consider several cases of (11) for which we have been ableto complete the integration

41 119892(119909) Is Specified We can integrate (11) if 119892(119909) is specifiedAs a simple example we take 119892(119909) = 1 Then (11) becomes
119891119909119909+ 2
119866119909
119866119891119909+ 1198912
119909= 0 (12)
which is nonlinear in 119891 This is a first order Bernoulli equa-tion in 119891
119909 We can rewrite (12) in the form
(1
119891119909
)
119909
minus 2(119866119909
119866)(
1
119891119909
) = 1 (13)
It is possible to integrate (13) since it is linear in 1119891119909to obtain
119891119909= 119866minus2
(int119866minus2
119889119909 + 1198881)
minus1
(14)
We can formally integrate (14) to obtain the function 119891(119909) as
119891 (119909) = int[
[
119866minus2
(int119866minus2
119889119909 + 1198881)
minus1
]
]
119889119909 + 1198882 (15)
where 1198881and 1198882are arbitrary constants
Then the new solution to (7) has the form
119871 = 119871 (16a)
119866 = 119866 exp(int[
[
119866minus2

minus1
]
]
119889119909 + 1198882)
(16b)
Therefore we have shown that if a solution (119871 119866) to the fieldequations is known then a new solution (119871 119866) is given by(16a) and (16b)
42 119891(119909) Is Specified We can also integrate (11) if 119891(119909) isspecified As another simple example we take119891(119909) = 1Then(11) becomes
119892119909119909+ 2
119871119909
119871119892119909+ 1198922
119909= 0 (17)
which is nonlinear in119892This is a first order Bernoulli equationin 119892119909 The differential equation (17) has a form similar to (12)
in Section 41 Following the same procedure we obtain
119892 (119909) = int[
[
119871minus2
(int119871minus2
119889119909 + 1198881)

]
]
119889119909 + 1198882 (18)
where 1198881and 1198882are arbitrary constants
Then another new solution to (7) is given by
119866 = 119866 (19a)
119871 = 119871 exp(int[
[
119871minus2

119889119909 + 1198882)
(19b)
Therefore we have determined that if a solution (119871 119866) to thefield equations is known then a new solution (119871 119866) is givenby (19a) and (19b) Note that the solution of (19a) and (19b) isdifferent from that of (16a) and (16b)
43 119892(119909) = 120572119891(119909) We can integrate (11) if a relationship bet-ween the functions 119891(119909) and 119892(119909) exists We illustrate thisfeature by assuming that
119892 (119909) = 120572119891 (119909) (20)
where 120572 is an arbitrary constant Then (11) becomes

which is a first order Bernoulli equation in 119891119909 For conve-

which is linear in 1119891119909 We integrate (23) to obtain

We now formally integrate (24) to obtain

where Θ and 120578 are given in (22) Therefore we have demon-strated that if a solution (119871 119866) to the field equations is

Some special cases related to (26a) and (26b) should bepointed out These relate to 120572 = 1 plusmn1radic2 12 We considereach in turn

which are another simple case
Case iii (120572 = 12) If 120572 = 12 then (26a) and (26b) are notvalid For this case (11) becomes

When 119891 is constant then 119892 is also constant by (20) then (7)does not produce a new solution because of (9) When 119891 isnot constant then we can integrate (29) to produce thesolution

119866 = 1198701198714

where 119870 is a constant Thus 120572 = 12 generates another newsolution (119871 119866) to (11)
5 Example
We show by means of a specific example that the integralsgenerated in Section 4 may be evaluated to produce a newexact solution to the field equations in terms of elementaryfunctions In our example we choose
119871 = 119887 + 119886119909 (31a)
119866 = 1 + 119888119909 (31b)
Then the corresponding line element is given by

The integrals in (33a) and (33b) can be evaluated and weobtain

6 Conclusion
We now comment on the physical properties of the exampleWe have generated plots for the energy density 120588 pressure119901 and the speed of sound in Figures 1 2 and 3 respectivelyThese graphical plots indicate that 120588 and 119901 are positive andwell behavedThe speed of sound is less than the speed of lightas required for causalityTherefore the algorithmpresented inthis paper produces new solutions which are physicallyreasonable
We have generated an algorithm to produce a newsolution to the Eistein field equations from a given seed met-ric We observe that the resulting model contains isotropicpressures unlike the approach of Chaisi and Maharaj [9] and
Maharaj and Chaisi [10] in their treatment the new modelhas anisotropic pressures Another advantage of our approachis the use of isotropic coordinates in the formulation ofthe condition of pressure isotropy This may leads to newinsights into the behaviour of gravity since previous treat-ments mainly utilised canonical coordinates The algorithmproduced a new solution in terms of integrals containingarbitrary functions We have shown with the help of aconformally flat metric that these integrals may be evaluatedin terms of elementary functions This example suggests thatour approach may be extended to other physically relevantmetrics

2 The Model
We are modelling the interior of a dense relativistic star instrong gravitational fields The line element of the interiorspacetime with isotropic coordinates has the following form

where 119860(119903) and 119861(119903) are arbitrary functions representingthe gravitational potentials Relativistic compact objects suchas neutron stars in astrophysics are described by this lineelementThe energy momentum tensor for the interior of thestar has the form of a perfect fluid

The Einstein field equations for (1) and (2) have the form

This is the master equation which has to be integrated toproduce an exact solution to the field equations
It is possible to write the system (3a)ndash(3c) in an equivalentform by introducing new variables We utilize a transforma-tion that has proven to be helpful in relativistic stellar physicsWe introduce the new variables

The above transformation was first suggested by Kustaan-heimo and Qvist [11] On applying transformation (5) in thefield equations of (3a)ndash(3c) we obtain the equivalent system
120588 = 4 [2119909119871119871119909119909minus 3 (119909119871

119909119909
(6c)
We note that (6a)ndash(6c) are highly nonlinear in both 119871 and 119866In this system there are three independent equations and fourunknowns 120588119901 119871 and119866 So we need to choose the functionalform for 119871 or119866 in order to integrate and obtain an exact solu-tionThe value of the transformation (5) is highlighted in thereduction of the condition of pressure isotropy On equating(6b) and (6c) we get
119871119866119909119909= 2119866119871
119909119909 (7)
which is the new condition of pressure isotropy which has asimpler compact form
3 The Algorithm
It is possible to find new solutions to the Einsteinrsquos equationsfrom a given seed metric Examples of this process are givenin the treatments of Chaisi and Maharaj [9] andMaharaj andChaisi [10] They found new models with anisotropic pres-sures from a given seed isotropic metric in Schwarzschildcoordinates Our intention is to find new models withisotropic pressures from a given solution in terms of theisotropic line element (1)
We can provide some new classes of exact solutions to theEinstein field equations by generating a new algorithm thatproduces a model from a given solutionWe assume a knownsolution of the form (119871 119866) so that
119871119866119909119909= 2119866119871
119909119909(8)
holds We seek a new solution (119871 119866) given by
119871 = 119871119890119892(119909)
119866 = 119866119890119891(119909)
(9)
where 119891(119909) and 119892(119909) are arbitrary functions On substituting(9) into (7) we obtain
(119871119866119909119909minus 2119866119871
119909119909) + 2 (119871119866
119909119891119909minus 2119866119871

+ 119871119866 (119891119909119909minus 2119892119909119909) + 119871119866 (119891
2
119909minus 21198922
119909) = 0
(10)
which is given in terms of two arbitrary functions 119891(119909) and119892(119909) Then realizing that (119871 119866) is a solution of (7) and using(8) we obtain the reduced result
(119891119909119909minus 2119892119909119909) + 2(
119866119909

119909minus 21198922
119909) = 0
(11)
We need to demonstrate the existence of functions 119891(119909) and119892(119909) that satisfy (11) In general it is difficult to integrate (11)since it is given in terms of two arbitrary functions which arenonlinear
4 New Solutions
We consider several cases of (11) for which we have been ableto complete the integration
Advances in Mathematical Physics 3
41 119892(119909) Is Specified We can integrate (11) if 119892(119909) is specifiedAs a simple example we take 119892(119909) = 1 Then (11) becomes
119891119909119909+ 2
119866119909
119866119891119909+ 1198912
119909= 0 (12)
which is nonlinear in 119891 This is a first order Bernoulli equa-tion in 119891
119909 We can rewrite (12) in the form
(1
119891119909
)
119909
minus 2(119866119909
119866)(
1
119891119909
) = 1 (13)
It is possible to integrate (13) since it is linear in 1119891119909to obtain
119891119909= 119866minus2
(int119866minus2
119889119909 + 1198881)
minus1
(14)
We can formally integrate (14) to obtain the function 119891(119909) as
119891 (119909) = int[
[
119866minus2
(int119866minus2
119889119909 + 1198881)
minus1
]
]
119889119909 + 1198882 (15)
where 1198881and 1198882are arbitrary constants
Then the new solution to (7) has the form
119871 = 119871 (16a)
119866 = 119866 exp(int[
[
119866minus2

]
]
119889119909 + 1198882)
(16b)
Therefore we have shown that if a solution (119871 119866) to the fieldequations is known then a new solution (119871 119866) is given by(16a) and (16b)
42 119891(119909) Is Specified We can also integrate (11) if 119891(119909) isspecified As another simple example we take119891(119909) = 1Then(11) becomes
119892119909119909+ 2
119871119909
119871119892119909+ 1198922
119909= 0 (17)
which is nonlinear in119892This is a first order Bernoulli equationin 119892119909 The differential equation (17) has a form similar to (12)
in Section 41 Following the same procedure we obtain
119892 (119909) = int[
[
119871minus2
(int119871minus2
119889119909 + 1198881)

]
119889119909 + 1198882 (18)
where 1198881and 1198882are arbitrary constants
Then another new solution to (7) is given by
119866 = 119866 (19a)
119871 = 119871 exp(int[

119871minus2

119889119909 + 1198882)
(19b)
Therefore we have determined that if a solution (119871 119866) to thefield equations is known then a new solution (119871 119866) is givenby (19a) and (19b) Note that the solution of (19a) and (19b) isdifferent from that of (16a) and (16b)
43 119892(119909) = 120572119891(119909) We can integrate (11) if a relationship bet-ween the functions 119891(119909) and 119892(119909) exists We illustrate thisfeature by assuming that
119892 (119909) = 120572119891 (119909) (20)
where 120572 is an arbitrary constant Then (11) becomes

which is a first order Bernoulli equation in 119891119909 For conve-
nience we let

which is linear in 1119891119909 We integrate (23) to obtain

which are another simple case
Case iii (120572 = 12) If 120572 = 12 then (26a) and (26b) are notvalid For this case (11) becomes

When 119891 is constant then 119892 is also constant by (20) then (7)does not produce a new solution because of (9) When 119891 isnot constant then we can integrate (29) to produce thesolution
119871 = 1198701198713

119866 = 1198701198714
1198663 (30b)
where 119870 is a constant Thus 120572 = 12 generates another newsolution (119871 119866) to (11)
5 Example
We show by means of a specific example that the integralsgenerated in Section 4 may be evaluated to produce a newexact solution to the field equations in terms of elementaryfunctions In our example we choose
119871 = 119887 + 119886119909 (31a)
119866 = 1 + 119888119909 (31b)
Then the corresponding line element is given by
1198891199042= minus(

which is conformally flat The energy density for the metric(32) is constant so that we have the Schwarzschild interiorsolution in isotropic coordinates
Conformally flat metrics are important in gravitationalphysics in a general relativistic setting They arise forinstance in the gravitational collapse of a radiating star asshown in the treatments of Herrera et al [12] Maharaj andGovender [13] Misthry et al [14] and Abebe et al [15] Forthe choice of (31a) and (31b) we find that (27a) and (27b)become

(33b)
The integrals in (33a) and (33b) can be evaluated and weobtain
119871 =1
(119887 + 119886119909)2119880 (119909) (34a)
119866 =(1 + 119888119909)
(119887 + 119886119909)3119880 (119909) (34b)
where 1198881= 0 and 119888
2= 1 and we have set
119880 (119909) = 11988721198882+ 119886119887119888 (1 + 3119888119909) + 119886
2(1 + 3119888119909 + 3119888

(35)
Thus the known solution (119871 119866) in (31a) and (31b) produces anew solution (119871 119866) in (34a) and (34b) The line element forthe new solution has the form
1198891199042= minus(

where119880(119903) is given by (35)Thus our algorithm has produceda new (not conformally flat) solution to the Einsteinrsquos fieldequations This has been generated from a seed conformallyflat model

6 Conclusion
We now comment on the physical properties of the exampleWe have generated plots for the energy density 120588 pressure119901 and the speed of sound in Figures 1 2 and 3 respectivelyThese graphical plots indicate that 120588 and 119901 are positive andwell behavedThe speed of sound is less than the speed of lightas required for causalityTherefore the algorithmpresented inthis paper produces new solutions which are physicallyreasonable
We have generated an algorithm to produce a newsolution to the Eistein field equations from a given seed met-ric We observe that the resulting model contains isotropicpressures unlike the approach of Chaisi and Maharaj [9] and
Maharaj and Chaisi [10] in their treatment the new modelhas anisotropic pressures Another advantage of our approachis the use of isotropic coordinates in the formulation ofthe condition of pressure isotropy This may leads to newinsights into the behaviour of gravity since previous treat-ments mainly utilised canonical coordinates The algorithmproduced a new solution in terms of integrals containingarbitrary functions We have shown with the help of aconformally flat metric that these integrals may be evaluatedin terms of elementary functions This example suggests thatour approach may be extended to other physically relevantmetrics

119909 We can rewrite (12) in the form

It is possible to integrate (13) since it is linear in 1119891119909to obtain

where 1198881and 1198882are arbitrary constants
Then the new solution to (7) has the form

(16b)
Therefore we have shown that if a solution (119871 119866) to the fieldequations is known then a new solution (119871 119866) is given by(16a) and (16b)
42 119891(119909) Is Specified We can also integrate (11) if 119891(119909) isspecified As another simple example we take119891(119909) = 1Then(11) becomes

Therefore we have determined that if a solution (119871 119866) to thefield equations is known then a new solution (119871 119866) is givenby (19a) and (19b) Note that the solution of (19a) and (19b) isdifferent from that of (16a) and (16b)
43 119892(119909) = 120572119891(119909) We can integrate (11) if a relationship bet-ween the functions 119891(119909) and 119892(119909) exists We illustrate thisfeature by assuming that
119892 (119909) = 120572119891 (119909) (20)

When 119891 is constant then 119892 is also constant by (20) then (7)does not produce a new solution because of (9) When 119891 isnot constant then we can integrate (29) to produce thesolution

We show by means of a specific example that the integralsgenerated in Section 4 may be evaluated to produce a newexact solution to the field equations in terms of elementaryfunctions In our example we choose

which is conformally flat The energy density for the metric(32) is constant so that we have the Schwarzschild interiorsolution in isotropic coordinates
Conformally flat metrics are important in gravitationalphysics in a general relativistic setting They arise forinstance in the gravitational collapse of a radiating star asshown in the treatments of Herrera et al [12] Maharaj andGovender [13] Misthry et al [14] and Abebe et al [15] Forthe choice of (31a) and (31b) we find that (27a) and (27b)become

6 Conclusion
We now comment on the physical properties of the exampleWe have generated plots for the energy density 120588 pressure119901 and the speed of sound in Figures 1 2 and 3 respectivelyThese graphical plots indicate that 120588 and 119901 are positive andwell behavedThe speed of sound is less than the speed of lightas required for causalityTherefore the algorithmpresented inthis paper produces new solutions which are physicallyreasonable
We have generated an algorithm to produce a newsolution to the Eistein field equations from a given seed met-ric We observe that the resulting model contains isotropicpressures unlike the approach of Chaisi and Maharaj [9] and
Maharaj and Chaisi [10] in their treatment the new modelhas anisotropic pressures Another advantage of our approachis the use of isotropic coordinates in the formulation ofthe condition of pressure isotropy This may leads to newinsights into the behaviour of gravity since previous treat-ments mainly utilised canonical coordinates The algorithmproduced a new solution in terms of integrals containingarbitrary functions We have shown with the help of aconformally flat metric that these integrals may be evaluatedin terms of elementary functions This example suggests thatour approach may be extended to other physically relevantmetrics

specified then a new solution (119871 119866) is provided by (26a) and(26b)
Some special cases related to (26a) and (26b) should bepointed out These relate to 120572 = 1 plusmn1radic2 12 We considereach in turn
Case i (120572 = 1) With 120572 = 1 we find that (26a) and (26b)become

119889119909 + 1198882) (27b)
which are a simple form
Case ii (120572 = plusmn1radic2) If we set 120572 = plusmn1radic2 then (26a) and(26b) become
119871 = 119871 exp[[

(28b)
which are another simple case
Case iii (120572 = 12) If 120572 = 12 then (26a) and (26b) are notvalid For this case (11) becomes
119891119909[119891119909+ 4(
119866119909
119866minus119871119909
119871)] = 0 (29)
When 119891 is constant then 119892 is also constant by (20) then (7)does not produce a new solution because of (9) When 119891 isnot constant then we can integrate (29) to produce thesolution
119871 = 1198701198713
1198662 (30a)
119866 = 1198701198714
1198663 (30b)
where 119870 is a constant Thus 120572 = 12 generates another newsolution (119871 119866) to (11)
5 Example
We show by means of a specific example that the integralsgenerated in Section 4 may be evaluated to produce a newexact solution to the field equations in terms of elementaryfunctions In our example we choose
119871 = 119887 + 119886119909 (31a)
119866 = 1 + 119888119909 (31b)
Then the corresponding line element is given by
1198891199042= minus(

2= 1 and we have set
119880 (119909) = 11988721198882+ 119886119887119888 (1 + 3119888119909) + 119886
