We prove that some symetric semi-riemannian manifolds do not admit a proper domain which is divisible by the action of a discrete group of isometries. In other words, if a closed semi-riemannian manifold is locally isometric to such a…

We give a sufficient condition for a lightlike isotropic submanifold $M$, of dimension $n$, which is not totally geodesic in a semi-Riemannian manifold of constant curvature $c$ and of dimension $n+p (n < p)$, to admit a reduction of…

We study the following problem: given an Einstein metric on a manifold, characterize and study all Einstein metrics which are pointwise projective to the given one. By definition, two metrics are said to be pointwise projectively related if…

Given a closed Riemannian manifold $(M, g_M)$ of dimension $n \geq 3$, we prove the existence of a conformally compact Einstein metric $g_{+}$ defined on a collar neighborhood $M \times (0,1]$ whose conformal infinity is $[g_M]$.

We give an overview of progress on homogeneous Einstein metrics on large classes of homogeneous manifolds, such as generalized flag manifolds and Stiefel manifolds. The main difference between these two classes of homogeneous spaces is that…

In a recent paper, a new conformally flat metric was introduced, describing an expanding scalar field in a spherically symmetric geometry. The spacetime can be interpreted as a Schwarzschild-like model with an apparent horizon surrounding…
