In a previous work, we constructed a positive-definite total energy functional for the axially symmetric linear perturbative theory of Kerr black hole spacetimes. That work is based on the dimensional reduction of dynamical axisymmetric…
Based on the Hamiltonian dimensional reduction of $3+1$ axially symmetric, Ricci-flat Lorentzian spacetimes to a $2+1$ Einstein-wave map system with the (negatively curved) hyperbolic 2-plane target, we construct a positive-definite,…
We find necessary and sufficient conditions ensuring that the vacuum development of an initial data set of the Einstein's field equations admits a conformal Killing vector. We refer to these conditions as conformal Killing initial data…
Modulo conventional scale factors, the Simon and Simon-Mars tensors are defined for stationary vacuum spacetimes so that their equality follows from the Bianchi identities of the second kind. In the nonvacuum case one can absorb additional…
In this work we study in detail new kinds of motions of the metric tensor. The work is divided into two main parts. In the first part we study the general existence of Kerr-Schild motions --a recently introduced metric motion. We show that…
Large corrections to the inflationary tensor power spectrum have been speculated to emerge either as second-order scalar-induced classical effects, or as 1-loop quantum corrections. These two sources are not independent of each other.…
We show how to reduce the general formulation of the mass-angular momentum inequality, for axisymmetric initial data of the Einstein equations, to the known maximal case whenever a geometrically motivated system of equations admits a…
It has been shown in the author's companion paper that solutions of Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations in $\mathbb{R}^{3+1}$ possess some form of global strong decay properties with data bounded in some weighted energy space. In this paper, we…
We prove the existence of a family of initial data for Einstein equations which represent small deformations of the extreme Kerr black hole initial data. The data in this family have the same asymptotic geometry as extreme Kerr. In…
Initial data for boosted Kerr black hole are constructed in an axially symmetric case. Momentum and hamiltonian constraints are solved numerically using finite element method (FEM) algorithms. Both Bowen-York and puncture boundary…
We study, using Mean Curvature Flow methods, 3+1 dimensional cosmologies with a positive cosmological constant, matter satisfying the dominant and the strong energy conditions, and with spatial slices that can be foliated by 2-dimensional…
Making use of twistor structures and the Kerr theorem for shear-free null geodesic congruences, an infinite family of electromagnetic fields satisfying the homogeneous Maxwell equations in flat Minkowski and the associated curved…
We explore the cosmic evolution of a scalar field with the kinetic term coupled to the Einstein tensor. We find that, in the absence of other matter sources or in the presence of only pressureless matter, the scalar behaves as pressureless…
In the present paper, the characterization of the Kerr metric found by Marc Mars is extended to the Kerr-Newman family. A simultaneous alignment of the Maxwell field, the Ernst two-form of the pseudo-stationary Killing vector field, and the…
In this paper we perform a semi-tetrad decomposition of the Kerr spacetime. We apply the 1+1+2 covariant method to the Kerr spacetime in order to describe its geometry outside the ergoregion. As a result we are able to explicitly write down…
In a recent work, Ringstr\"om proposed a geometric notion of initial data on big bang singularities. Moreover, he conjectured that initial data on the singularity could be used to parameterize quiescent solutions to Einstein's equations;…
Near-Kerr black hole initial datasets are constructed by applying either the parabolic-hyperbolic or the algebraic-hyperbolic form of the constraints. In both cases, strongly and weakly asymptotically flat initial datasets with desirable…
We recently derived exact solutions for the scalar, vector and tensor mode functions of a single, minimally coupled scalar plus gravity in an arbitrary homogeneous and isotropic background. These solutions are applied to obtain improved…
We study the peeling on Kerr spacetime for fields satisfying conformally invariant linear and nonlinear scalar wave equations. We follow an approach initiated by L.J. Mason and the first author for the Schwarzschild metric, based on a…
We formulate conditions on the geometry of a non-expanding horizon $\Delta$ which are sufficient for the space-time metric to coincide on $\Delta$ with the Kerr metric. We introduce an invariant which can be used as a measure of how…
