Motivated by recent work on the structure of the singularity in inhomogeneous Tolman-Bondi collapse models, we investigate the behaviour of null geodesics in the particular case where the collapse is self-similar. The presence of the…

Negatively curved, or hyperbolic, regions of space in an FRW universe are a realistic possibility. These regions might occur in voids where there is no dark matter with only dark energy present. Hyperbolic space is strange and various…

In this paper, we consider a left-invariant Riemannian metric $g$ on the Lie group $F^4$. We classify Ricci solitons on $(F^4,g)$ and show that all such solitons are expanding and non-gradient. Moreover, we study the existence of harmonic…

We study the geometry induced on the local orbit spaces of Killing vector fields on (Riemannian) $G$-manifolds, with an emphasis on the cases $G={\rm Spin}(7)$ and $G=G_2$. Along the way, we classify the harmonic morphisms with…

We use the intrinsic area to define a distance on the space of homothety classes of convex bodies in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, which makes it isometric to a convex subset of the infinite dimensional hyperbolic space. The ambient…

The Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor of a metric-measure space (M,g,e^{-f}dv_{g}) plays an important role in both geometric measure theory and the study of Hamilton's Ricci flow. Under a uniform positivity condition on this tensor and with bounded…

We employ the language of Cartan's geometry to present a model for studying vector spaces of Killing two-tensors defined in pseudo-Riemannian spaces of constant curvature under the action of the corresponding isometry group. We also discuss…
