General relativity

A magnetized cylindrically symmetric universe with two degrees of freedom in which the free gravitational field is Petrov type I degenerate, is obtained. The magnetic field is due to an electric current produced along the x-axis. The distribution consists of an electrically neutral perfect fluid with an infinite electrical conductivity. The behaviour of the model when magnetic field tends to zero and other physical aspects of the model are also discussed.
