Let g_t be a family of constant scalar curvature metrics on the total space of a Riemannian submersion obtained by shrinking the fibers of an original metric g, so that the submersion collapses as t approaches 0 (i.e., the total space…

In this paper, we study curvature behavior at the first singular time of solution to the Ricci flow on a smooth, compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$, $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}g_{ij} = -2R_{ij}$ for $t\in [0,T)$. If the flow has…

We show that a flow (timelike congruence) in any type $B_{1}$ warped product spacetime is uniquely and algorithmically determined by the condition of zero flux. (Though restricted, these spaces include many cases of interest.) The flow is…

We show some results for the $L^2$ curvature flow linked by the theme of addressing collapsing phenomena. First we show long time existence and convergence of the flow for $SO(3)$-invariant initial data on $S^3$, as well as a long time…

We analyze a class of product geometries of the form $\mathbb{R}^{1,1}\times \Sigma_2$ supported by electric, magnetic, or dyonic flux in the Einstein-Maxwell-$\Lambda$ theory. These spacetimes belong to a unified family of direct products…

In the framework of the Hartle-Hawking no-boundary proposal, we investigated quantum creation of the multidimensional universe with a cosmological constant ($\Lambda$) but without matter fields. We have found that the classical solutions of…

Combinatorial quantum gravity is governed by a discrete Einstein-Hilbert action formulated on an ensemble of random graphs. There is strong evidence for a second-order quantum phase transition separating a random phase at strong coupling…

We study a $D$-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet model which includes the Gauss-Bonnet term, the cosmological term $\Lambda$ and two non-zero constants: $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$. Under imposing the metric to be diagonal one, we find…

We propose a notion of scalar curvature lower bounds in a three-dimensional Riemannian manifold endowed with a $C^0$ metric based on the monotonicity of the Hawking mass along the inverse mean curvature flow. We present a stability theorem…
