In axial symmetry, there is a gauge for Einstein equations such that the total mass of the spacetime can be written as a conserved, positive definite, integral on the spacelike slices. This property is expected to play an important role in…
Near the singularity, gravity should be modified to an effective theory, in the same sense as with the Euler-Heisenberg electrodynamics. This effective gravity surmounts to higher derivative theory, and as is well known, a much more reacher…
We prove that, contrary to the situation with time-like and space-like parallel vector fields, there are real gravitational fields satisfying Einsteins equations of gravity and admitting nontrivial light-like parallel vector fields; we…
