For a stable marginally outer trapped surface (MOTS) in an axially symmetric spacetime with cosmological constant $\Lambda > 0$ and with matter satisfying the dominant energy condition, we prove that the area $A$ and the angular momentum…
We argue that it is possible to assign Bondi as well as ADM four-momentum to the ultrarelativistic limit of the Schwarzschild black hole in agreement to what is expected on physical grounds: The Bondi-momentum is lightlike and equal to the…
Recently a restriction ("quantum inequality-type relation") on the (renormalized) energy density measured by a static observer in a "globally static" (ultrastatic) spacetime has been formulated by Pfenning and Ford for the minimally coupled…
In a thorough paper Kuchar has examined the canonical reduction of the most general action functional describing the geometrodynamics of the maximally extended Schwarzschild geometry. This reduction yields the true degrees of freedom for…
We establish upper and lower universal bounds for potentials of weighted designs on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$ that depend only on quadrature nodes and weights derived from the design structure. Our bounds hold for a large class of…
We consider quasinormal modes of the massive Dirac field in the background of a Schwarzschild- Tangherlini black hole. Different dimensions of the spacetime are considered, from d = 4 to d = 9. The quasinormal modes are calculated using two…
The existence of both a minimum mass and a minimum density in nature, in the presence of a positive cosmological constant, is one of the most intriguing results in classical general relativity. These results follow rigorously from the…
We investigate geometric properties of a metric measure space where every function in the Newton--Sobolev space $N^{1,\infty}(Z)$ has a Lipschitz representative. We prove that when the metric space is locally complete and the reference…

In \cite{ly, ly2}, Liu and the second author propose a definition of the quasi-local mass and prove its positivity. This is demonstrated through an inequality which in turn can be interpreted as a total mean curvature comparison theorem for…
The residual gauge freedom within the null quasi-spherical coordinate condition is studied, for spacetimes admitting an expanding, shear-free null foliation. The freedom consists of a boost and rotation at each coordinate sphere,…
Our main result states that, given a finite-dimensional vector space $E$, the pseudometric defined in the set of continuous quasinorms $\mathcal{Q}_0=\{\|\cdot\|:E\to\mathbb{R}\}$ as $$d(\|\cdot\|_X,\|\cdot\|_Y)=\min\{\mu:\|\cdot\|_X…
A regular Vaidya-type line-element is proposed in this work. The mass function depends both on the temporal and the spatial coordinates. The curvature invariants and the source stress tensor $T^{a}_{~b}$ are finite in the whole space. The…
This paper studies a class of $D=n+2(\ge 6)$ dimensional solutions to Lovelock gravity that is described by the warped product of a two-dimensional Lorentzian metric and an $n$-dimensional Einstein space. Assuming that the angular part of…
We find a class of warp drive spacetimes possessing Newtonian limits, which we then determine. The same method is used to compute Newtonian limits of the Schwarzschild solution and spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological…
We present a simple derivation of a point-source boundary condition for the Schwarzschild solution that relates the Schwarzschild radius to the mass of its source without appealing to the Newtonian limit. Interpretation of the Schwarzschild…
We derive an expression for the quasinormal modes of scalar perturbations in near extreme d-dimensional Schwarzschild-de Sitter and Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter black holes. We show that, in the near extreme limit, the dynamics of the…
Given a spherical spacelike three-geometry, there exists a very simple algebraic condition which tells us whether, and in which, Schwarzschild solution this geometry can be smoothly embedded. One can use this result to show that any given…
The extreme Schwarzschild-de Sitter space-time is a spherically symmetric solution of Einstein's equations with a cosmological constant Lambda and mass parameter m>0 which is characterized by the condition that 9 Lambda m^2=1. The global…
