Description

The only rigorous result known so far on the existence of isolated bodies in GR in rigid rotation are the ones by Heilig of 1995 on perfect fluids. We outline a method to solve the stationary Einstein equations with source a body in rigid rotation consisting of elastic matter. This is work in progress by R.B., B.G.Schmidt, and L.Andersson.
