- In general relativity, a spacetime is said to be static if it does not change over time and is also irrotational. It is a special case of a stationary spacetime, which is the geometry of a stationary spacetime that does not change in time but can rotate. Thus, the Kerr solution provides an example of a stationary spacetime that is not static; the non-rotating Schwarzschild solution is an example that is static. Formally, a spacetime is static if it admits a global, non-vanishing, timelike Killing vector field which is irrotational, i.e., whose orthogonal distribution is involutive. (Note that the leaves of the associated foliation are necessarily space-like hypersurfaces.) Thus, a static spacetime is a stationary spacetime satisfying this additional integrability condition. These spacetimes form one of the simplest classes of Lorentzian manifolds. Locally, every static spacetime looks like a standard static spacetime which is a Lorentzian warped product R S with a metric of the form , where R is the real line, is a (positive definite) metric and is a positive function on the Riemannian manifold S. In such a local coordinate representation the Killing field may be identified with and S, the manifold of -trajectories, may be regarded as the instantaneous 3-space of stationary observers. If is the square of the norm of the Killing vector field, , both and are independent of time (in fact ). It is from the latter fact that a static spacetime obtains its name, as the geometry of the space-like slice S does not change over time. (en)
- In relatività generale, uno spaziotempo statico è uno spaziotempo stazionario per il quale è possibile individuare una famiglia di ipersuperfici spacelike che siano ortogonali alle orbite generate delle isometrie delle metrica (che esistono perché lo spaziotempo è stazionario). La stazionarietà è equivalente alla richiesta che per il vettore di Killing timelike che genera le isometria valga la relazione dove le parentesi quadre indicano l'antisimmetrizzazione sugli indici.
