We construct non-trivial continuous isospectral deformations of Riemannian metrics on the ball and on the sphere in $\R^n$ for every $n\geq 9$. The metrics on the sphere can be chosen arbitrarily close to the round metric; in particular,…

We consider Einstein hypersurfaces of warped products $I\times_\omega\mathbb Q_\epsilon^n,$ where $I\subset\mathbb R$ is an open interval and $\mathbb Q_\epsilon^n$ is the simply connected space form of dimension $n\ge 2$ and constant…

We classify Einstein metrics on $\mathbb{R}^4$ invariant under a four-dimensional group of isometries including a principal action of the Heisenberg group. The metrics are either Ricci-flat or of negative Ricci curvature. We show that all…

We consider the curvature of a family of warped products of two pseduo-Riemannian manifolds $(B,g_B)$ and $(F,g_F)$ furnished with metrics of the form $c^{2}g_B \oplus w^2 g_F$ and, in particular, of the type $w^{2 \mu}g_B \oplus w^2 g_F$,…

We describe the $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics whose the $T$-tensor vanishes ($T$-condition) and the $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics that satisfy the $\sigma T$-condition $\sigma_hT^h_{ijk}=0$, where $\sigma_h=\frac{\partial \sigma}{\partial x^h}$ and…

In this paper we prove rigidity results on critical metrics for quadratic curvature functionals, involving the Ricci and the scalar curvature, on the space of Riemannian metrics with unit volume. It is well-known that Einstein metrics are…

We devise a geometric description of bounded systems at criticality in any dimension $d$. This is achieved by altering the flat metric with a space dependent scale factor $\gamma(x)$, $x$ belonging to a general bounded domain $\Omega$.…

For a given asymptotically flat initial data set for Einstein equations a new geometric invariant is constructed. This invariant measure the departure of the data set from the stationary regime, it vanishes if and only if the data is…

The aim of this article is to construct initial data for the Einstein equations on manifolds of the form R n+1 x T m , which are asymptotically flat at infinity, without assuming any symmetry condition in the compact direction. We use the…

A perturbative quantum theory of the two Killing vector reduction of Einstein gravity is constructed. Although the reduced theory inherits from the full one the lack of standard perturbative renormalizability, we show that strict cutoff…

In this work, the dual flatness, which is connected with Statistics and Information geometry, of general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics (a new class of Finsler metrics) is studied. A nice characterization for such metrics to be dually flat under…

The assumption that a solution to the Einstein equations is static (or stationary) very strongly constrains the asymptotic behaviour of the metric. It is shown that one need only impose very weak differentiability and decay conditions {\it…
