It is well-known that future timelike infinity ($i^+$) in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime is conformal to the unit three-dimensional hyperboloid ($H^3$). We asymptotically expand massive fields with spin $0,1,2$ near $i^+$ and…

Let $\Omega$ be a domain on the unit $n$-sphere $ \mathbb S^n$ and $\mathring{g}$ the standard metric of $\mathbb S^n$, $n\ge 3$. We show that there exists a conformal metric $g$ with vanishing scalar curvature $R(g)=0$ such that $(\Omega,…

The problem of deforming geometries is particularly important in the context of constructing new exact solutions of Einstein's equation. This issue often appears when extensions of the general relativity are treated, for instance in brane…

The NGT field equations with sources are expanded first about a flat Minkowski background and then about a GR background to first-order in the antisymmetric part of the fundamental tensor, $g_{\mu\nu}$. From the general, static spherically…

In this paper, we prove the existence of smooth, entire, strictly convex, spacelike, constant $\sigma_k$ curvature hypersurfaces with prescribed lightlike directions in Minkowski space. This is equivalent to prove the existence of smooth,…
