We present a menagerie of solutions to the vacuum Einstein equations in six, eight and ten dimensions. These solutions describe spacetimes which are either locally asymptotically adS or locally asymptotically flat, and which have…
A family of type N exact solution of the Einstein's field equations, regular everywhere except on the symmetry axis where it possesses a naked curvature singularity, is present. The stress-energy tensor is of the anisotropic fluid coupled…

We show that analytic solutions $\mcE$ of the Ernst equation with non-empty zero-level-set of $\Re \mcE$ lead to smooth ergosurfaces in space-time. In fact, the space-time metric is smooth near a "Ernst ergosurface" $E_f$ if and only if…
We find a new class of exact solutions in the Einstein-Maxwell theory by employing the Ernst magnetization process to the Kerr-Newman-Taub-NUT spacetimes. We study the solutions and find that they are regular everywhere. We also find the…
The Gauss-Bonnet gravity is a special case of so-called Quadratic Gravity, which is an extension of Einstein's theory with additional terms in action that are quadratic combinations of the Riemann tensor and its contractions. These…

A deduction of a solution of the Einstein's equations, employing the Mitskievich's field theoretic description of perfect fluids, is presented. This solution describes a dust-space-time with a spherical-like symmetry and a NUT-like…
It is proved in the manuscript that as long as the proper coordinate transformation is introduced,, the equations of geodetic lines described in curved space-time can be transformed into the dynamic equations in flat space-time, that is to…
We consider a class of ans\"atze for the construction of exact solutions of the Einstein-nonlinear $\sigma$-model system with an arbitrary cosmological constant in (3+1) dimensions. Exploiting a geometric interplay between the $SU(2)$ field…
In contrast to Einstein's theory, the first order formulation of gravity turns out to be a natural habitat for double-sheeted spacetime solutions which satisfy the vacuum field equations everywhere. These bridge-like geometries exhibit…
We systematically investigate the complete class of vacuum solutions in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity theory which belong to the Kundt family of non-expanding, shear-free and twist-free geometries (without gyratonic matter terms) in any…
In this note, we study the integrability of geodesic flow in the background of a very general class of spacetimes with NUT-charge(s) in higher dimensions. This broad set encompasses multiply NUT-charged solutions, electrically and…
We discuss the generalization of the NUT spacetime in General Relativity (GR) within the framework of the (dynamical) Einstein--Chern-Simons (ECS) theory with a massless scalar field. These configurations approach asymptotically the NUT…
We study the following problem: Given initial data on a compact Cauchy horizon, does there exist a unique solution to wave equations on the globally hyperbolic region? Our main results apply to any spacetime satisfying the null energy…
Einstein equations are addressed with the energy-momentum tensor that appears if the equations under discussion are required to possess conformal invariance. It is proved that thus derived equations (equations of conformally invariant…
In 1963 Ezra Ted Newman and his two students Louis A. Tamburino, and Theodore W. J. Unti, proposed a deformation of the Shwarzschild spacetime that made it twisting. In the cosmological context, an equivalent solution had been found…
Since the early years of General Relativity, understanding the long-time behavior of the cosmological solutions of Einstein's vacuum equations has been a fundamental yet challenging task. Solutions with global symmetries, or perturbations…

One of the central difficulties of settling the $L^2$-bounded curvature conjecture for the Einstein -Vacuum equations is to be able to control the causal structure of spacetimes with such limited regularity. In this paper we show how to…
