The Spherical-Rindler framework: From compact Minkowski regions to black-Hole and cosmological Solutions

Abstract: In this article we first develop novel Rindler-type representations of flat spacetime by demonstrating that the standard hyperbolic transformation is a member of an infinite family of coordinate mappings. We specifically introduce cyclic coordinates, which, in contrast to the conventional Rindler wedge, delineate a compact region of Minkowski spacetime. By extending this framework, and motivated by near horizon coordinates in Schwarzschild metric, we propose a class of Spherical Rindler metrics. We demonstrate the utility of this approach by deriving and analyzing a black hole solution and a cosmological metric, both emerging naturally from a Spherical Rindler origin. Our results highlight unique geometric properties of these solutions, providing new insights into the relationship between accelerated frames and global spacetime curvature.
