We briefly review the known properties of Melvin's magnetic universe and study the propagation of test charged matter waves in this static spacetime. Moreover, the possible correspondence between the wave perturbations on the background Melvin universe and the motion of charged test particles is discussed. Next, we explore a simple scenario for turning Melvin's static universe into one that undergoes gravitational collapse. In the resulting dynamic gravitational field, the formation of cosmic double-jet configurations is emphasized.

  1. Cosmic Jets in General Relativity

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Free particles and scalar waves in Kasner and plane-wave spacetimes asymptotically align into jets that move at nearly the speed of light relative to fiducial observers.

  2. Magnetising de Sitter and Anti-de Sitter spacetimes

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    A Harrison-type map plus fluid rescaling produces spherical Melvin analogues of dS and AdS that reduce to ordinary (A)dS when the magnetic field vanishes.

  3. Properties of the magnetic universe with positive cosmological constant

    gr-qc 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper works out the geometry, flux, and geodesics of the Melvin magnetic universe with a positive cosmological constant, showing its two-sphere section is compact and carries a conical singularity, with a Freund-R...
