The quantum null energy condition (QNEC) is a conjectured bound on components $(T_{kk} = T_{ab} k^a k^b$) of the stress tensor along a null vector $k^a$ at a point $p$ in terms of a second $k$-derivative of the von Neumann entropy $S$ on…

If Einstein's equations are to describe a field theory of gravity in Minkowski spacetime, then causality requires that the effective curved metric must respect the flat background metric's null cone. The kinematical problem is solved using…

Using Cartan's equivalence method for point transformations we obtain from first principles the conformal geometry associated with third order ODEs and a special class of PDEs in two dimensions. We explicitly construct the null tetrads of a…

We review the status of Birkhoff's theorem in the presence of nonlinear electrodynamics (NLE) - extending the analysis to the case without asymptotic flatness. This leads to the Bertotti-Robinson-type (direct product) geometry with…

We write the Kerr-Schild tetrads in terms of the flat space-time tetrads and of a (1,1) tensor $S^\lambda_\mu$. This tensor can be considered as a projection operator, since it transforms (i) flat space-time tetrads into non-flat tetrads,…

Perturbations of the linearized vacuum Einstein equations on a null cone in the Bondi-Sachs formulation of General Relativity can be derived from a single master function with spin weight two, which is related to the Weyl scalar \Psi_0, and…

In this article, we achieved several non-naturally reductive Einstein metrics on exceptional simple Lie groups, which are formed by the decomposition arising from general Wallach spaces. By using the decomposition corresponding to the two…
