Vacuum expectation values of the surface energy-momentum tensor is investigated for a massless scalar field obeying mixed boundary condition on a brane in de Sitter bulk. To generate the corresponding vacuum surface densities we use the…
We show that, within a broad stationary-axisymmetric class, Kerr-type separability and hidden symmetry arise as a local consequence of the Einstein equations. Without assuming separability, algebraic speciality, Killing--Yano symmetry, or…
Einstein equations are addressed with the energy-momentum tensor that appears if the equations under discussion are required to possess conformal invariance. It is proved that thus derived equations (equations of conformally invariant…

We analyse properties of general stationary and axisymmetric spacetimes, with a particular focus on circularity -- an accidental symmetry enjoyed by the Kerr metric, and therefore widely assumed when searching for rotating black hole…
We provide a partial characterization of the conformal infinity of asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes by deriving constraints that relate the asymptotics of the stress-energy tensor with conformal geometric data. The latter is captured…
