We compute the equation of state for degenerate fermions in the curved spacetime of a slowly rotating axially symmetric star. Our results show that the equation of state in this curved spacetime depends on the gravitational time dilation and dragging of inertial frames, different from a globally flat spacetime. The effect of gravitational time dilation significantly enhances the maximum mass limit of a degenerate neutron star, while the enhancement due to the frame-dragging effect is extremely small. The frame-dragging effect is crucial for computing the angular momentum of the star, which is also significantly enhanced by the usage of curved spacetime in computing the equation of state.
We compute the equation of state for an ensemble of degenerate fermions by using the curved spacetime of a slowly rotating axially symmetric star. We show that the equation of state computed in such curved spacetime depends on the gravitational time dilation as well as on the dragging of inertial frames, unlike an equation of state computed in a globally flat spacetime. The effect of gravitational time dilation leads to a significant enhancement of the maximum mass limit of a degenerate neutron star. However, such an enhancement due to the frame-dragging effect is extremely small. Nevertheless, in general relativity the frame-dragging effect is crucial for computing angular momentum of the star which is also shown to be enhanced significantly due to the usage of curved spacetime in computing the of state.
