To seek for a singularity free model universe from a perfect fluid scalar-metric cosmology, we work in the "\emph{Emergent Cosmology}" (EC) paradigm which is a non-singular alternative for cosmological inflation. By using two methods…

In analogy with the standard derivation of the Schwarzschild solution, we find all static, cylindrically symmetric solutions of the Einstein field equations for vacuum. These include not only the well known cone solution, which is locally…
We discuss the linearization of Einstein equations in the presence of a cosmological constant, by expanding the solution for the metric around a flat Minkowski space-time. We demonstrate that one can find consistent solutions to the…

We consider the conformal Einstein equations for massless collisionless gas cosmologies which admit an isotropic singularity. After developing the general theory, we restrict to spatially-homogeneous cosmologies. We show that the Cauchy…
Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold on which a trace-free and divergence-free $\sigma \in W^{1,p}$ and a positive function $\tau \in W^{1,p}$, $p > n$, are fixed. In this paper, we study the vacuum Einstein constraint equations…
The Einstein-Straus model consists of a Schwarzschild spherical vacuole in a Friedman-Lema\^{\i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) dust spacetime (with or without \Lambda). It constitutes the most widely accepted model to answer the question of…
