A new way of orthogonalizing ensembles of vectors by "lifting" them to higher dimensions is introduced. This method can potentially be utilized for solving quantum decision and computing problems.
Master's thesis. We present a study of the BMS Group is higher space-time dimensions, and the extension of this group to non-relativistic systems.
General relativity has been tested by many experiments, which, however, almost exclusively probe weak spacetime curvatures. In this thesis, I create two frameworks for testing general relativity in the strong-field regime with observations…
We apply the method of moving anholonomic frames in order to construct new classes of solutions of the Einstein equations on (2+1)-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian spaces. There are investigated black holes with deformed horizons and…

We extend Padmanabhan's entropy functional formalism to show that, in addition to the Gauss-Bonnet or the entire series of Lanczos-Lovelock Lagrangians already obtained, more general higher-order corrections to General Relativity, i.e., the…
We construct solutions of higher-dimensional Einstein gravity coupled to nonlinear $\sigma$-model with cosmological constant. The $\sigma$-model can be perceived as exterior configuration of a spontaneously-broken $SO(D-1)$ global…
This work aims to implement the idea of noncommutativity in the subject of black holes. Its principal contents deal with a study of Schwarzschild black holes in a D-dimensional noncommutative space. Various aspects related to the non…
We study in some detail the "extended Kerr-Schild" formulation of general relativity, which decomposes the gauge-independent degrees of freedom of a generic metric into two arbitrary functions and the choice of a flat background tetrad. We…
We study higher dimensional gravitational collapse to topological black holes in two steps. Firstly, we construct some (n+2)-dimensional collapsing space-times, which include generalised Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi-like solutions, and we prove…
We present, in closed analytic form, a general stationary, slowly rotating black hole, which is solution to a large class of alternative theories of gravity in four dimensions. In these theories, the Einstein-Hilbert action is supplemented…
Extensions of Einstein gravity with higher-order derivative terms arise in string theory and other effective theories, as well as being of interest in their own right. In this paper we study static black-hole solutions in the example of…
