In this article the static Einstein-Vlasov-Maxwell system is considered in spherical symmetry. This system describes an ensemble of charged particles interacting by general relativistic gravity and Coulomb forces. First, a proof for local…
We express the Einstein-Vlasov system in spherical symmetry in terms of a dimensionless momentum variable $z$ (radial over angular momentum). This regularises the limit of massless particles, and in that limit allows us to obtain a reduced…

We analyze the tensor mode perturbations of static, spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein equations with a quadratic Gauss-Bonnet term in dimension $D > 4$. We show that the evolution equations for this type of perturbations can…

We investigate the classical stability of the higher-dimensional Schwarzschild black holes against linear perturbations, in the framework of a gauge-invariant formalism for gravitational perturbations of maximally symmetric black holes,…
It is well known that steady states of the Vlasov-Poisson system, a widely used model in non-relativistic galactic dynamics, have negative energy. In this paper we derive the analogous property for two relativistic generalizations of the…

Numerical evidence is given that spherically symmetric perturbations of stable spherically symmetric steady states of the gravitational Vlasov-Poisson system lead to solutions which oscillate in time. The oscillations can be periodic in…

We examine the stability of an Einstein-Maxwell perfect fluid configuration with a privileged direction of symmetry by means of a $1+1+2$-tetrad formalism. We use this formalism to cast, in a quasi linear symmetric hyperbolic form the…
We study the instability of Schwarzschild black holes and the appearance of scalarized solutions in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity performing a time-domain analysis in a perturbative scheme. First we consider a quadratic coupling…
Minkowski space is shown to be globally stable as a solution to the Einstein--Vlasov system in the case when all particles have zero mass. The proof proceeds by showing that the matter must be supported in the "wave zone", and then proving…
We consider the stability of the toroidal AdS-Schwarzshild black holes as solutions of the Einstein--Klein-Gordon system, with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions for the scalar field. Restricting to perturbations that respect the…
We discuss static, spherically symmetric solutions to the 5D Einstein-Maxwell equations (belonging to wide classes of multidimensional solutions known at least from the 1990s) and select among them those which must observationally look like…
We complete previous investigations on the dynamical stability of barotropic stars and collisionless stellar systems. A barotropic star that minimizes the energy functional at fixed mass is a nonlinearly dynamically stable stationary…
We prove the global asymptotic stability of the Minkowski space for the massless Einstein-Vlasov system in wave coordinates. In contrast with previous work on the subject, no compact support assumptions on the initial data of the Vlasov…
