| Popis: | Existence of spherically symmetric solutions to the Einstein-Vlasov system is well-known. However, it is an open problem whether or not static solutions arise as minimizers of a variational problem. Apart from being of interest in its own right, it is the connection to non-linear stability that gives this topic its importance. This problem was considered in \cite{Wol}, but as has been pointed out in \cite{AK}, the paper \cite{Wol} contained serious flaws. In this work we construct static solutions by solving the Euler-Lagrange equation for the energy density $\rho$ as a fixed point problem. The Euler-Lagrange equation originates from the particle number-Casimir functional introduced in \cite{Wol}. We then define a density function $f$ on phase space which induces the energy density $\rho$ and we show that it constitutes a static solution of the Einstein-Vlasov system. Hence we settle rigorously parts of what the author of \cite{Wol} attempted to prove. Comment: 41 pages |
