It is well-known that small, regular, spherically symmetric characteristic initial data to the Einstein-scalar-field system which are decaying towards (future null) infinity give rise to solutions which are foward-in-time global (in the…

Self-consistent account of the most simple non-gauge vector fields leads to a broad spectrum of regular scenarios of temporal evolution of the Universe completely within the frames of the Einstein's General relativity. The longitudinal…

We find and analyse solutions of Einstein's equations in arbitrary d dimensions and in the presence of a scalar field with a Liouville potential coupled to a Maxwell field. We consider spacetimes of cylindrical symmetry or again subspaces…

For specifically coupled values of the quadratic gravity parameters, we present a fully explicit static spherically symmetric solution. It contains the central singularity surrounded by the black-hole or the cosmological horizon for the…

We consider the problem of the nature and possible types of spacetime singularities that can form during the evolution of \emph{FRW} universes in general relativity. We show that by using, in addition to the Hubble expansion rate and the…

We consider the gravitational properties of a global monopole on the basis of the simplest Higgs scalar triplet model in general relativity. We begin with establishing some common features of hedgehog-type solutions with a regular center,…

A D-dimensional gravitational model with a Gauss-Bonnet term and the cosmological term Lambda is considered. Assuming diagonal cosmological metrics, we find, for certain non-zero Lambda new examples of solutions with an exponential time…
