We present a covariant study of static space-times, as such and as solutions of gravity theories. By expressing the relevant tensors through the velocity and the acceleration vectors that characterise static space-times, the field equations…
Flat space cosmology spacetimes are exact time-dependent solutions of 3-dimensional gravity theories, such as Einstein gravity or topologically massive gravity. We exhibit a novel kind of phase transition between these cosmological…
A d-dimensional spacetime is "axisymmetric" if it possesses an SO(d-2) isometry group whose orbits are (d-3)-spheres. In this paper, algebraically special, axisymmetric solutions of the higher dimensional vacuum Einstein equation (with…

We study the Lie point symmetries of Einstein's equations for the Friedmann-Roberstson-Walker Cosmology. They form either a two - dimensional or a three - dimensional solvable group depending on the form of the self interacting potential.…
The Einstein field equation as an equation of state of a thermodynamical system of spacetime is reconsidered in the present Letter. We argue that a consistent interpretation leads us to identify scalar curvature and cosmological constant…
Jacobson theorem (Ref. \cite{jacobson}) shows that Einstein gravity may be understood as a thermodynamical equation of state; a microscopic realization of this result is however lacking. In this paper, we propose that this may be achieved…
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…
We present a new description of discrete space-time in 1+1 dimensions in terms of a set of elementary geometrical units that represent its independent classical degrees of freedom. This is achieved by means of a binary encoding that is…
Quantum field theory successfully explains the origin of all fundamental forces except gravity due to the renormalizability problem. In this paper, we proposed a topological scenario to understand this puzzle. First, we proposed a $3+1$D…
We investigate five dimensional Einstein spaces in warped geometries from the point of view of the four dimensional physically relevant Robertson-Walker-Friedman cosmological metric and the Schwarzschild metric. We show that a…
The gravitational properties of the {\em only} static plane-symmetric vacuum solution of Einstein's field equations without cosmological term (Taub's solution, for brevity) are presented: some already known properties (geodesics, weak field…
Einstein spacetimes (that is vacuum spacetimes possibly with a non-zero cosmological constant {\Lambda}) with constant non-zero Weyl eigenvalus are considered. For type Petrov II & D this assumption allows one to prove that the non-repeated…
