Perfect fluid space-times admitting a three-dimensional Lie group of conformal motions containing a two-dimensional Abelian Lie subgroup of isometries are studied. Demanding that the conformal Killing vector be proper (i.e., not homothetic…

Certain semi-Riemannian metrics may be decomposed into a Riemannian part and an isochronal part. We use this idea and an idea of Kasner to construct a manifold in 6+1 Minkowski space with a well known metric. The full embedding we display…
We develop a relativistic framework to investigate the evolution of cosmological structures from the initial density perturbations to the highly nonlinear regime. Our approach involves proposing a procedure to match ``best-fit", exact…

The Bianchi type III (BIII) metric is a useful geometry to study cosmic anisotropies. It includes an extra exponential term multiplied by a directional scale factor and recasts the cosmological model as a dynamical system to provide various…
We analyze the moduli space of non-flat homogeneous affine connections on surfaces. For Type $\mathcal{A}$ surfaces, we write down complete sets of invariants that determine the local isomorphism type depending on the rank of the Ricci…
The correspondence between conformal covariant fields in Minkowski's space-time and isometric fields in the five dimensional anti-deSitter space-time is extended to a six-dimensional bulk space and its regular sub-manifolds, so as to…
We scrutinize the overall structure of the space of cosmological models of Bianchi type I-VII$_h$ that contain a free massless scalar field, with a spatially homogeneous gradient $\nabla_\mu \varphi$ that generally breaks isotropy, in…
For $S$ a closed surface of genus at least $2$, let $\mathrm{Hit}_3(S)$ be the Hitchin component of representations to $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{R}),$ equipped with the Labourie-Loftin complex structure. We construct a mapping class group…
The necessary and sufficient conditions for a three-dimensional Riemannian metric to admit a transitive group of isometries are obtained. These conditions are Intrinsic, Deductive, Explicit and ALgorithmic, and they offer an IDEAL labeling…
We consider a Bianchi type III axisymmetric geometry in the presence of an electromagnetic field. A first result at the classical level is that the symmetry of the geometry need not be applied on the electromagnetic tensor $F_{\mu\nu}$; the…
In this paper, we prove that time-like constant slope surfaces can be reparametrized by using rotation matrices corresponding to unit time-like split quaternions and homothetic motions. Afterwards we give some examples to illustrate our…

It is shown that in transitively self-similar spatially homogeneous tilted perfect fluid models the symmetry vector is not normal to the surfaces of spatial homogeneity. A direct consequence of this result is that there are no self-similar…
This article describes the symmetries of plane wave spacetimes in dimension four and greater. It begins with a description of the isometric automorphisms, and in particular the homogeneous plane waves. Then the article turns to describing…
