We prove that any $G=SU(2)\times U(1)$ symmetric spacetime that is Ricci flat (i.e. solves the matter-free $\Lambda=0$ Einstein equations) with non-null $G$-orbits is locally isometric to some maximally extended generalised Taub-NUT…

We derive general static spherically symmetric solutions in the Horava theory of gravity with nonzero shift field. These represent "hedgehog" versions of black holes with radial "hair" arising from the shift field. For the case of the…

An exact class of solutions of the 5D vacuum Einstein field equations (EFEs) is obtained. The metric coefficients are found to be non-separable functions of time and the extra coordinate $l$ and the induced metric on $l$ = constant…

A new solution of Einstein's vacuum field equations is discovered which appears as a generalization of the well-known Ozsvath-Schucking solution and explains its source of curvature which has otherwise remained hidden. Curiously, the new…
The Wheeler-DeWitt equation is solved for some scalar-tensor theories of gravitation in the case of homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models.We present general solutions corresponding to cosmological term: (i)\lambda(\phi)=0$ and $(ii)…

We classify all spacetimes with a closed rank-2 conformal Killing-Yano tensor. They give a generalization of Kerr-NUT-de Sitter spacetimes. The Einstein condition is explicitly solved and written as an indefinite integral. It is…
We analyze the field equations of Lovelock gravity for the Kerr-Schild metric ansatz, $g_{ab}=\bar g_{ab} +\lambda k_ak_b$, with background metric $\bar g_{ab}$, background null vector $k^a$ and free parameter $\lambda$. Focusing initially…
We present exact solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell system of equations in spherically symmetric gravitational fields with a specified form of the electric field intensity. The condition of pressure isotropy yields a difference equation with…

We study static cylindrically symmetric vacuum solutions in Weyl coordinates in the context of the metric f(R) theories of gravity. The set of the modified Einstein equations is reduced to a single equation and it is shown how one can…
It has been shown that for the Reissner-Nordstrom solution to the vacuum Einstein field equations charge, like mass, has a unique space-time signature [Found. Phys. 38, 293-300 (2008)]. The presence of charge results in a negative…
It is proved that the only geodesically complete stationary vacuum solution of the Einstein equations is the empty Minkowski space, or a quotient of it by a discrete group of isometries, generalizing a classical result of Lichnerowicz. In…
