We make classifications of gradient Ricci solitons $(M, g, f)$ with harmonic Weyl curvature. As a local classification, we prove that the soliton metric $g$ is locally isometric to one of the following four types: an Einstein manifold, the…
We consider the general orthogonal metric separable in space and time variables in comoving coordinates. We then characterise perfect fluid models admitted by such a metric. It turns out that the homogeneous models can only be either FLRW…
Relative moduli spaces of periodic monopoles provide novel examples of Asymptotically Locally Flat hyperkahler manifolds. By considering the interactions between well-separated periodic monopoles, we infer the asymptotic behavior of their…
The Gowdy cosmologies are vacuum solutions to the Einstein equations which possess two space-like Killing vectors and whose spatial sections are compact. We consider the simplest of these cosmological models: the case where the spatial…
We classify the effective and transitive actions of a Lie group $G$ on an n-dimensional non-degenerate hyperboloid (also called real pseudo-hyperbolic space), under the assumption that $G$ is a closed, connected Lie subgroup of…

The Chen-Teo gravitational instanton is an asymptotically flat, toric, Ricci flat family of metrics on $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2\setminus S^1$, that provides a counterexample to the classical Euclidean Black Hole Uniqueness conjecture. In…
We show that homogeneous Einstein metrics on Euclidean spaces are Einstein solvmanifolds, using that they admit periodic, integrally minimal foliations by homogeneous hypersurfaces. For the geometric flow induced by the orbit-Einstein…
We classify all transitive actions of Lie algebras of vector fields on C^3 and R^3 up to a local equivalence and discuss why this classification can not be extended in general to the solvable case. The main technical tool is the structure…
The anti-self-dual projection of the spin connections of certain four-dimensional Einstein manifolds can be Abelian in nature. These configurations signify bundle reductions. By a theorem of Kobayashi and Nomizu such a process is predicated…
We prove that the only smooth, Ricci flat, ALE instanton with a toric Hermitian non-K\"ahler structure is the Eguchi-Hanson instanton. The proof is analogous to the classification of toric Hermitian ALF instantons by Biquard and Gauduchon,…
A complete description of dynamics of compact locally homogeneous universes is given, which, in particular, includes explicit calculations of Teichm\"uller deformations and careful counting of dynamical degrees of freedom. We regard each of…
Bianchi attractors are homogeneous but anisotropic extremal black brane horizons. We study the $AdS_3 \times \mathbb{H}^2$ solution which is a special case of Bianchi type III in a $U(1)_R$ gauged supergravity. For a wide range of values…
This work builds on the foundation laid by Gordon and Wilson in the study of isometry groups of solvmanifolds, i.e. Riemannian manifolds admitting a transitive solvable group of isometries. We restrict ourselves to a natural class of…
We give a full classification of higher order parallel surfaces in three-dimensional homogeneous spaces with four-dimensional isometry group, i.e. in the so-called Bianchi-Cartan-Vranceanu family. This gives a positive answer to a…
We obtain all homogeneous solutions of new massive gravity models on S^3 and AdS_3 by extending previously known results for the cosmological topologically massive theory of gravity in three dimensions. In all cases, apart from the…
We establish existence and uniqueness results for asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) and asymptotically locally flat (ALF) gravitational instantons. In particular, we prove the existence of a unique, Ricci-flat, toric ALE and ALF…
An exact gravitational instanton solution on a vacuum Kerr-like warped spacetime in conformal dilaton gravity is found. Remarkably, the metric solution results from a first-order PDE, allowing the connection with self-duality. The singular…
Within the framework of the minimum quadratic Poincare gauge theory of gravity in the Riemann-Cartan spacetime the dynamics of homogeneous anisotropic Bianchi types I-IX spinning-fluid cosmological models is investigated. A basic equation…
The necessary and sufficient conditions for a perfect fluid solution to define a spatially-homogeneous cosmology are achieved. These conditions are Intrinsic, Deductive, Explicit and ALgorithmic, and they offer an IDEAL labeling of these…
