Recent works by the second author and Maxwell et al. have shown that the Einstein-scalar field conformal constraint equations are highly complex and generally intractable, even in the vacuum case. In this article, to gain a clearer…
Solutions of Einstein vacuum equations, for a static pseudospherically symmetric system, are presented. They describe a naked singularity and a singular solution with many resemblances to the Schwartzschild solution but with two major…
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…
Light waves carry along their own gravitational field; for simple plain electromagnetic waves the gravitational field takes the form of a pp-wave. I present the corresponding exact solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations and discuss the…
The wave type field equation $\square \vt^a=\la \vt^a$, where $\vt^a$ is a coframe field on a space-time, was recently proposed to describe the gravity field. This equation has a unique static, spherical-symmetric, asymptotically-flat…

A multidimensional gravitational model containing several dilatonic scalar fields and antisymmetric forms is considered. The manifold is chosen in the form M = M_0 x M_1 x ... x M_n, where M_i are Einstein spaces (i > 0). The block-diagonal…
We investigate the vacuum pp-wave and Aichelburg-Sexl-type solutions in f(R) and the modified Gauss-Bonnet theories of gravity with both minimal and nonminimal couplings between matter and geometry. In each case, we obtain the necessary…

We show that the class of hyperelliptic solutions to the Ernst equation (the stationary axisymmetric Einstein equations in vacuum) previously discovered by Korotkin and Neugebauer and Meinel can be derived via Riemann-Hilbert techniques.…
We obtain a full characterization of Einstein-Maxwell $p$-form solutions $(\boldsymbol{g},\boldsymbol{F})$ in $D$-dimensions for which all higher-order corrections vanish identically. These thus simultaneously solve a large class of…
If $M$ is the underlying smooth oriented $4$-manifold of a Del Pezzo surface, we consider the set of Riemannian metrics $h$ on $M$ such that $W^+(\omega , \omega )> 0$, where $W^+$ is the self-dual Weyl curvature of $h$, and $\omega$ is a…
We prove that the Einstein equations can be solved in a very general form for arbitrary spacetime dimensions and various types of vacuum and non-vacuum cases following a geometric method of anholonomic frame deformations for constructing…
We deal with quadratic metric-affine gravity (QMAG), which is an alternative theory of gravity and present a new explicit representation of the field equations of this theory. In our previous work we found new explicit vacuum solutions of…
We prove that, contrary to the situation with time-like and space-like parallel vector fields, there are real gravitational fields satisfying Einsteins equations of gravity and admitting nontrivial light-like parallel vector fields; we…
