The ultrarelativistic limit of twodimensional dilaton gravity is presented and its associated (anti-)selfdual energy momentum tensor is derived. It is localized on a null line, although the line element remains twice differentiable.…
When a spacetime takes Bondi radiating metric, and is vacuum and asymptotically flat at spatial infinity which ensures the positive mass theorem, we prove that the standard ADM energy-momentum is the past limit of the Bondi energy-momentum.…
This is the first of two papers devoted to the asymptotic structure of space-time in the presence of a non-negative cosmological constant $\Lambda$. This first paper is concerned with the case of $\Lambda =0$. Our approach is fully based on…
We have solved the Einstein equations of general relativity for a class of metrics with constant spatial curvature and found a non-vanishing Weyl tensor in the presence of an energy-momentum tensor with an anisotropic pressure component.…
A definition of gravitational energy is proposed for any theory described by a diffeomorphism-invariant Lagrangian. The mathematical structure is a Noether- current construction of Wald involving the boundary term in the action, but here it…
We consider static spacetimes whose spatial part admits foliations with the extrinsic curvature tensor K_{ab}=0. There are two complementary cases when the gradient of the lapse function points 1) to the direction of foliation or 2)…
We investigate the occurrence of naked singularities, local and global, in the incoming Vaidya spacetimes with zero initial mass. While it is well-known that these spacetimes admit locally and globally naked singularities, we demonstrate…
Spherically symmetric spacetimes are ambient spaces for models of stellar collapse and inhomogeneous cosmology. We obtain results for the Weyl tensor and the covariant form of the Ricci tensor on general doubly warped (DW) spacetimes. In a…
Energy is at best defined quasilocally in general relativity. Quasilocal energy definitions depend on the conditions one imposes on the boundary Hamiltonian, i.e., how a finite region of spacetime is "isolated". Here, we propose a method to…
The sum of squared epicyclic frequencies of nearly circular motion ($\omega_r^2+\omega_\theta^2$) in axially symmetric configurations of Newtonian gravity is known to depend both on the matter density and on the angular velocity profile of…
Based on the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon (MPD) equations and the Vaidya metric, the motion of a spinning point particle orbiting a non-rotating star while undergoing radiation-induced gravitational collapse is studied in detail. A…
We present a method to calculate the gravitational energy when asymptotic boundary conditions for the space-time are not given. This is the situation for most of the cosmological models. The expression for the gravitational energy is…
New physics beyond General Relativity impacts black-hole spacetimes. The effects of new physics can be investigated in a largely theory-agnostic way by following the principled-parameterized approach. In this approach, a classical…
In this paper, we have studied nonstationary radiative spherically symmetric spacetime, in general covariant theory ($U(1)$ extension) of Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity without the projectability condition and in the infrared limit. The…
The Tolman-Bondi and Vaidya solutions are two solutions to Einstein equations which describe dust particles and null fluid, respectively. We show that it is possible to match the two solutions in one single spacetime, the…
The generalized Gullstrand-Painleve geometry is investigated for expanding matter. Compared to other studies, we take into account an anisotropic stress tensor as the source of curvature with an equation of state resembling the MIT bag…
It is shown that under proper conditions in an appropriate coordinate system with a suitable time slicing the Hamiltonian and the Einstein-Hilbert action including all necessary boundary terms can be written on shell in terms of the…
In this paper, we have constructed a model for well behaved isotropic compact star in the presence of charged perfect fluid, by considering a static and spherically symmetric metric in Schwarzschild's canonical coordinate system. To put the…
In the first part of this paper we consider expanding vacuum cosmological spacetimes with a free $T^N$-action. Among them, we give evidence that Gowdy spacetimes have AVTD (asymptotically velocity term dominated) behavior for their initial…
We consider the energetics and thermodynamics of spacetimes with no horizons, but endowed with a preferred timelike junction surface. They could arise as a limiting case of the gravastar and other constructions regularizing the interior of…
