Solutions for neutron stars in General Relativity from a complexity structure scalar boundary condition

Abstract

A new condition involving the complexity factor, a structure scalar arising from the orthogonal splitting of the Riemann tensor, is generated at the boundary of a spherically symmetric anisotropic fluid. This condition leads to the generation of a model, without invoking any further constraints on geometry or matter variables. The model generated is physically reasonable and suggests that there is a non-zero, positive minimum constraint on the complexity scalar value evaluated at the surface. This suggests that vanishing complexity is a globalized constraint which does not apply at the boundary, specifically for compact objects in the strong-gravity regime.
