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 present vacuum spacetime solutions of first order gravity, which are described by the exterior Schwarzschild geometry in one region and by degenerate tetrads in the other. The invertible and noninvertible phases of the tetrad meet at an…

A nonsingular localized static classical solution is constructed for standard Einstein gravity coupled to an $SO(3)\times SO(3)$ chiral model of scalars (Skyrme model). This solution corresponds to a spacetime defect and its construction…
We exploit an interpretation of gravity as the symmetry broken phase of a de Sitter gauge theory to construct new solutions to the first order field equations. The new solutions are constructed by performing large $Spin(4,1)$ gauge…
In this paper, a complex daor field which can be regarded as the square root of space-time metric is proposed to represent gravity. The locally complexified geometry is set up, and the complex spin connection constructs a bridge between…
It is well known that there are various models of gravitation: the metrical Hilbert-Einstein theory, a wide class of intrinsically Lorentz-invariant tetrad theories (of course, generally-covariant in the space-time sense), and many gauge…
Flat space cosmology spacetimes are exact time-dependent solutions of 3-dimensional gravity theories, such as Einstein gravity or topologically massive gravity. We exhibit a novel kind of phase transition between these cosmological…

We review the solution space for the field equations of Einstein's General Relativity for various static, spherically symmetric spacetimes. We consider the vacuum case, represented by the Schwarzschild black hole; the de…
We show that Schwarzschild geometry remains as a vacuum solution for those four-dimensional f(T) gravitational theories behaving as ultraviolet deformations of general relativity. In the gentler context of three-dimensional gravity, we also…

We study modified gravity theory known as Regge-Teitelboim approach, in which the gravity is represented by dynamics of a surface isometrically embedded in a flat bulk. We obtain some particular solutions of Regge-Teitelboim equations…
We prove that there are no restrictions on the spatial topology of asymptotically flat solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations in (n+1)-dimensions. We do this by gluing a solution of the vacuum constraint equations on an arbitrary…
