| Popis: | The Birkhoff theorem is a well-known result in general relativity and it is used in many applications. However, its most general version, due to Bona, is almost unknown and presented in a form less accessible to the relativist and cosmologist community. Moreover, many wield it mistakenly as a simple transposition of Newton's iron sphere theorem. In the present work, we propose a modern, dual null, presentation --- useful in many explorations, including black holes --- of the theorem that renders accessible most of the results of Bona's version. In addition, we discuss the fluid contents admissible for the application of the theorem, beyond a vacuum, and we demonstrate how the formalism greatly simplifies solving the dynamical equations and allows one to express the solution as a power expansion in $r$. We present a family of solutions that share the properties predicted by the Birkhoff theorem and discuss the existence of trapped and antitrapped regions. The formalism manifestly shows how the type of region --- trapped or untrapped --- determines the character of the Killing vector. Comment: 10 pages. The version published on PRD |
