We present vacuum spacetime solutions of first order gravity, which are described by the exterior Schwarzschild geometry in one region and by degenerate tetrads in the other. The invertible and noninvertible phases of the tetrad meet at an…
This self-contained pedagogical derivation of the Schwarzchild solution, in "3 + 1" formulation and conformal spatial gauge, (almost) avoids all affinity, curvature and index gymnastics.
We examine the motion of an electron constrained to follow a magnetic field line near a primordial sub-stellar mass black hole. Earlier studies treated the problem in flat (Minkowski) spacetime, yielding qualitatively correct results and…
In this paper, we introduce a class of spacetimes $\left(\mathcal{M},g\right)$ which satisfy the vacuum Einstein equations and dynamically approach a Schwarzschild solution of mass $M$, a class we shall call \emph{ultimately…
We calculate the gravitational perturbations produced by a small mass in eccentric orbit about a much more massive Schwarzschild black hole and use the numerically computed perturbations to solve for the metric. The calculations are…
The maximal analytic Schwarzschild spacetime is manifestly inextendible as a Lorentzian manifold with a twice continuously differentiable metric. In this paper, we prove the stronger statement that it is even inextendible as a Lorentzian…
A recent proposal by Shuler regarding a postulate-based derivation of a family of metrics describing the gravitational field outside a static spherically symmetric mass distribution is reviewed. All of Shuler's gravities agree with the…
In General Relativity, Birkhoff's theorem asserts that any spherically symmetric vacuum solution must be static and asymptotically flat. In this paper, we study the validity of Birkhoff's theorem for a broad class of modified gravity…
We present, for the first time, a correct solution of the Schwarzschild Massive Point (SMP) problem in {\em arbitrary} radial gauge and formulate the strict mathematical assumptions, which are necessary and sufficient for this. In GR, there…

A new spherically-symmetric solution is determined in a noncompactified Kaluza-Klein theory in which a time character is ascribed to the fifth coordinate. This solution contains two independent parameters which are related with mass and…
We present the geodesical completion of the Schwarzschild black hole in four dimensions which covers the entire space in (u,v) Kruskal-Szekeres coordinates, including the spacetime behind the black and white hole singularities. The…
Motivated by the newest progress in geometric flows both in mathematics and physics, we apply the geometric evolution equation to study some black-hole problems. Our results show that, under certain conditions, the geometric evolution…
General relativity postulates that the gravity field is defined on a Riemannian manifold. The field equations are $R^\mu_\nu = 0$ i.e. Ricci's curvature tensor vanishes. The field equations have to be augmented by natural physical…
In this paper attention is focused on gravitational sector of the Born--Infeld theory, suggested in quant-ph/9608014. Vacuum equations for gravitational field are derived. The asymptotic for modified Schwarzschild solution is obtained, as a…
A novel method for calculation of the motion and radiation reaction for the two-body problem (body plus particle, the small parameter m/M being the ratio of the masses) is presented. In the background curvature given by the Schwarzschild…
Einstein's explanation of Mercury's perihelion motion has been verified by astronomical observations. His formula could also be obtained in Schwarzschild metric and was published already in 1898. Motion along a straight geodesic, however,…
