Abstract

We classify all spherically symmetric and homothetic spacetimes that are allowed kinematically by constructing them from a small number of building blocks. We then restrict attention to a particular dynamics, namely perfect fluid matter with the scale-free barotropic equation of state p=?? where 0<~?<1 is a constant. We assign conformal diagrams to all solutions in the complete classification of Carr and Coley, and so establish which of the kinematic possibilities are realized for these dynamics. We pay particular attention to those solutions which arise as critical solutions during gravitational collapse.
