Almost a century ago, Einstein used a weak field approximation around Minkowski space-time to calculate the energy carried away by gravitational waves emitted by a time changing mass-quadrupole. However, by now there is strong observational…

We address the question of attainability of the best constant in the following Hardy-Sobolev inequality on a smooth domain $\Omega$ of \mathbb{R}^n: $$ \mu_s (\Omega) := \inf \{\int_{\Omega}| \nabla u|^2 dx; u \in {H_{1,0}^2(\Omega)}…
The assumption that a solution to the Einstein equations is static (or stationary) very strongly constrains the asymptotic behaviour of the metric. It is shown that one need only impose very weak differentiability and decay conditions {\it…
We present a method for constructing stationary, asymptotically flat, rotating solutions of Einstein's field equations. One of the spun-up solutions has quasilocal mass but no global mass. It has an ergosphere but no event horizon. The…
We show that stationary, asymptotically flat solutions of the electro-vacuum Einstein equations are analytic at $i^0$, for a large family of gauges, in odd space-time dimensions higher than seven. The same is true in space-time dimension…
f(R) gravity is a well-known modification of General Relativity, that can be reduced to a scalar-tensor theory by a conformal transformation (Einstein frame). We study static spherically symmetric (SSS) asymptotically flat vacuum…
The general solution for the static, spherical and asymptotically flat braneworld is derived by solving the bulk Einstein equation and braneworld dynamics. We show that it involves a large arbitrariness, which reduces the predictability of…
In the first part of this paper, we consider the problem of fill-in of nonnegative scalar curvature (NNSC) metrics for a triple of Bartnik data $(\Sigma,\gamma,H)$. We prove that given a metric $\gamma$ on $\mathbf{S}^{n-1}$ ($3\leq n\leq…
In general relativity, the Einstein equations provide spherically symmetric static spacetimes with dynamics defined as an evolution along the radial coordinate $r$. The geometrical sector becomes a one-dimensional mechanical system, with…

The time independent spherically symmetric solutions of General Relativity (GR) coupled to a dynamical unit timelike vector are studied. We find there is a three-parameter family of solutions with this symmetry. Imposing asymptotic flatness…
In General Relativity, Birkhoff's theorem asserts that any spherically symmetric vacuum solution must be static and asymptotically flat. In this paper, we study the validity of Birkhoff's theorem for a broad class of modified gravity…
