A shared property of several of the known exact solutions to the equations of force-free electrodynamics is that their charge-current four-vector is \textit{null}. We examine the general properties of null-current solutions and then focus…

Rigidly rotating stationary matter in general relativity has been investigated by Kramer by the Ernst coordinate method. A weakness of this approach is that the Ernst potential does not exist for differential rotation. We now generalize the…
We consider the equations for the coefficients of stationary rotating axisymmetric metrics governed by the Einstein-Euler equations, that is, the Einstein equations together with the energy-momentum tensor of a barotropic perfect fluid.…
By using the method of group analysis, we obtain a new exact evolving and spherically symmetric solution of the Einstein-Cartan equations of motion, corresponding to a space-time threaded with a three-form Kalb-Ramond field strength. The…
The diagonal metric tensor whose components are functions of one spatial coordinate is considered. Einstein's field equations for a perfect-fluid source are reduced to quadratures once a generating function, equal to the product of two of…
We apply a technique, due to Stephani, for generating solutions of the Einstein-perfect fluid equations. This technique is similar to the vacuum solution generating techniques of Ehlers, Harrison, Geroch and others. We start with a ``seed''…
A method of solving perfect fluid Einstein equations with two commuting spacelike Killing vectors is presented. Given a spacelike 2-dimensional surface in the 3-dimensional nonphysical Minkowski space the field equations reduce to a single…
An exact solution to the vacuum Einstein equations is presented, whose structure is based on the Hopf fibration. The solution employs a geodesic null vector field that defines a twisting congruence and appears in the metric in Kerr-Schild…
Einstein's equations of General Relativity form a highly nonlinear system, so most exact solutions rely on symmetry assumptions. Spherically symmetric spacetimes have been particularly important, providing a tractable yet physically rich…
We derive a new class of exact solutions characterized by the Szekeres-Szafron metrics (of class I), admitting in general no isometries. The source is a fluid with viscosity but zero heat flux (adiabatic but irreversible evolution) whose…

We present a topologically trivial, non-vacuum solution of the Einstein's field equations in four-dimensions, which is regular everywhere. The metric admits circular closed timelike curves, which appear beyond the null curve, and these…
The spacetime around astrophysical black holes is thought to be described by the Kerr solution. However, even within general relativity, there is not yet a proof that the final product of the complete collapse of an uncharged body can only…
We construct a model of a rotating wormhole made by cutting and pasting two Kerr spacetimes. As a result, we obtain a rotating thin-shell wormhole with exotic matter at the throat. Two candidates for the exotic matter are considered: (i) a…
