Self-gravitating field configurations: The role of the energy–momentum trace

Static spherically-symmetric matter distributions whose energy–momentum tensor is characterized by a non-negative trace are studied analytically within the framework of general relativity. We prove that such field configurations are necessarily highly relativistic objects. In particular, for matter...
