Abstract
The authors show that a common feature of all general relativistic self-similar perfect fluids is that every orbit of the similarity group possesses a singularity. This result is given as an application of a more general result in Lorentzian geometry, which holds regardless of dimension, physical fields or field equations.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
