We analyse the geodesics' dynamics in cylindrically symmetric vacuum spacetimes with Lambda>0 and compare it to the Lambda=0 and Lambda<0 cases. When Lambda>0 there are two singularities in the metric which brings new qualitative features…
The purpose of this paper is to extend the analysis of gravitational instability of the Linet - Tian solution to the case $\Lambda > 0$. A fundamental difference brought about by $\Lambda >0$, as compared to $\Lambda<0$ is in the structure…
In this paper we analyze the linear stability of the Linet - Tian solution with negative cosmological constant. In the limit of vanishing cosmological constant the Linet - Tian metric reduces to a form of the Levi - Civita metric, and,…
This paper discusses the extent to which one can determine the space-time metric from a knowledge of a certain subset of the (unparametrised) geodesics of its Levi-Civita connection, that is, from the experimental evidence of the…
We consider a Lorentzian metric in $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^n$. We show that if we know the lengths of the space-time geodesics starting at $(0,y,\eta)$ when $t=0$, then we can recover the metric at $y$. We prove the rigidity of…
The Linet-Tian metrics are solutions of the Einstein equations with a cosmological constant, $\Lambda$, that can be positive or negative. The linear instability of these metrics in the case $\Lambda <0$, has already been established. In the…
We study the Lorentzian metric independent of the time variable in the cylinder $\mathbb{R}\times\Omega$ where $x_0\in\mathbb{R}$ is the time variable and $\Omega$ is a bounded smooth domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We consider forward…

In a suitably chosen essentially unique frame tied to a given observer in a general spacetime, the equation of geodesic deviation can be decomposed into a sum of terms describing specific effects: isotropic (background) motions associated…
Dirac's constraint analysis and the symplectic structure of geodesic equations are obtained for the general cylindrically symmetric stationary spacetime. For this metric, using the obtained first order Lagrangian, the geodesic equations of…
Timelike geodesics on a hyperplane orthogonal to the symmetry axis of the G\"odel spacetime appear to be elliptic-like if standard coordinates naturally adapted to the cylindrical symmetry are used. The orbit can then be suitably described…
The dynamical effect of the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ on a single spherical void evolving in a the universe is investigated within a non linear perturbation of Newton-Friedmann models. The void expands with a huge initial burst which…

We investigate the geodesic motions of a massive particle and light ray in the hyperplane orthogonal to the symmetry axis in the 5-dimensional hypercylindrical spacetime. The class of the solutions depends on one constant a which is the…
The (4+1) dimensional conformally flat Eisenhart geometry is investigated in this work, stressing the contribution of the stress tensor generating its curvature. The energy-momentum tensor $T^{a}_{~b}$ is traceless and has only one nonzero…
The Levi-Civita connection and geodesic equations for a stationary spacetime are studied in depth. General formulae which generalize those for warped products are obtained. These results are applicated to some regions of Kerr spacetime…
