Ladder operators can be useful constructs, allowing for unique insight and intuition. In fact, they have played a special role in the development of quantum mechanics and field theory. Here, we introduce a novel type of ladder operators,…

We present a method for generating exact solutions of Einstein equations in vacuum using harmonic maps, when the spacetime possesses two commutating Killing vectors. This method consists in writing the axisymmetric stationry Einstein…

A Hilbert manifold structure is described for the ADM phase space of asymptotically flat initial data $(g,\pi)$ with local $H^2\times H^1$ Sobolev regularity. Solutions of the constraint equations form a Hilbert submanifold. A regularized…

Physicists believe, with some justification, that there should be a correspondence between familiar properties of Newtonian gravity and properties of solutions of the Einstein equations. The Positive Mass Theorem (PMT), first proved over…

An $N = 1$ supersymmetric version of two dimensional dilaton gravity coupled to matter is considered. It is shown that the linear dilaton vacuum spontaneously breaks half the supersymmetries, leaving broken a linear combination of left and…

On a spacetime $(M,g)$ endowed with a density function $h$, we consider the vacuum weighted Einstein field equations: \[h\rho-\operatorname{Hes}_h+\Delta h g=0.\] First, it is shown that the equation characterizes critical metrics for an…
