Analogue space-times (and in particular metamaterial analogue space-times) have a long varied and complex history. Much of the previous related work has focused on spherically symmetric models; however, axial symmetry is much more relevant…

We prove that there can not be a smooth matching of the Generalized Vaidya metric with an exterior Schwarzschild/Vaidya patch across a finite boundary hypersurface unless the mass function is a function of the null coordinate alone. By…

We introduce a rigorous framework for defining quasinormal modes on stationary, asymptotically flat spacetimes as isolated eigenvalues of the infinitesimal generator of time translations. We consider time functions corresponding to a…

We prove the nonlinear stability of the cosmological region of Kerr de Sitter spacetimes. More precisely, we show that solutions to the Einstein vacuum equations with positive cosmological constant arising from data on a cylinder that is…

It is shown that by making use of the Kodama vector field, as a preferred time evolution vector field, in spherically symmetric dynamical systems unexpected simplifications arise. In particular, the evolution equations relevant for the case…

We characterize Cauchy data sets leading to vacuum space-times with vanishing Mars-Simon tensor. This approach provides an algorithmic procedure to check whether a given initial data set $(\Sigma,h_{ij},K_{ij})$ evolves into a space-time…

We present here the general expressions for the acceleration of massive test particles along the symmetry axis of the Kerr metric, and then study the main properties of this acceleration in different regions of the spacetime. In particular,…

The exact computation of asymptotic quasinormal frequencies is a technical problem which involves the analytic continuation of a Schrodinger-like equation to the complex plane and then performing a method of monodromy matching at the…

In this work, we compute the gravitational wave displacement and spin memory effects in de Sitter spacetime. Gravitational waves in asymptotically flat spacetimes are described by the Bondi-Sachs framework, where radiation at null infinity…

In this work we have constructed axially symmetric vacuum solutions of the gravitational field equations in a Randall-Sundrum brane. A non-null effective cosmological constant is considered, and asymptotically de Sitter and anti-de Sitter…

The Kerr black hole is stationary and axisymmetric, which leads to conservation of energy and azimuthal angular momentum along the orbits of free test particles in its vicinity, but also to conservation laws for the evolution of continuum…

The motion of test particles in stationary axisymmetric gravitational fields is generally nonintegrable unless a nontrivial constant of motion, in addition to energy and angular momentum along the symmetry axis, exists. The Carter constant…
