For stationary vacuum spacetimes the Bianchi identities of the second kind equate the Simon tensor to the Simon-Mars tensor, the latter having a clear geometrical interpretation. The equivalence of these two tensors is broken in the…
The Simon tensor gives rise to a local characterization of the Kerr-NUT family in the stationary class of vacuum spacetimes. We find that a symmetric and traceless tensor in the quotient space of the stationary Killing trajectory offers a…
We present the 3+1 decomposition of the Simon-Mars tensor, which has the property of being identically zero for a vacuum and asymptotically flat spacetime if and only if the latter is locally isometric to the Kerr spacetime. Using this…
We discuss Petrov type D Einstein-Maxwell fields in which both double null eigenvectors of the Weyl tensor are non-aligned with the eigenvectors of a non-null electromagnetic field and are assumed to be geodesic, shear-free, diverging and…
The Cotton-York and Simon-Mars tensors in stationary vacuum spacetimes are studied in the language of the congruence approach pioneered by Hawking and Ellis. Their relationships with the Papapetrou field defined by the stationary Killing…
It is proven that a solution to the Einstein-Maxwell equations whose gravitational and electromagnetic radiation fields vanish is in fact stationary in a neighbourhood of spatial infinity. That is, if the Weyl and Faraday tensors decay…
We obtain a characterization of the Kerr metric among stationary, asymptotically flat, vacuum spacetimes, which extends the characterization in terms of the Simon tensor (defined only in the manifold of trajectories) to the whole spacetime.…
We consider $d$-dimensional solutions to the electrovacuum Einstein-Maxwell equations with the Weyl tensor of type N and a null Maxwell $(p+1)$-form field. We prove that such spacetimes are necessarily aligned, i.e. the Weyl tensor of the…
In this paper we propose a class of exact solutions (stationary and non-stationary) of Einstein's field equations. The energy-momentum tensors of the solutions describe dark energy.
We consider source-free electromagnetic fields in spacetimes possessing a non-null Killing vector field, $\xi^a$. We assume further that the electromagnetic field tensor, $F_{ab}$, is invariant under the action of the isometry group induced…
The conditions for the existence of Killing-Yano tensors, which are closely related to the appearance of non-generic world-line SUSY, are presented for static axisymmetric spacetimes. Imposing the vacuum Einstein equation, the set of…
A general formula for the metric as an explicit function of the generic energy-momentum tensor is given which satisfies static plane symmetric Einstein's equations with cosmological constant.In order to illustrate it, the solutions for the…
The classification of the Stackel spaces of the electrovacuum of the type (3.0) has been done. These spaces are invariant under the action of the three-parameter abelian group of motions and belong to the first type Bianchi spaces. In the…
We investigate higher dimensional Robinson-Trautman spacetimes with an electromagnetic field aligned with the hypersurface orthogonal, non-shearing, expanding geodesic null congruence. After integrating the system of Einstein-Maxwell…
We prove a theorem on scalar-valued functions of tensors, where ``scalar'' refers to absolute scalars as well as relative scalars of weight $w$. The present work thereby generalizes an identity referred to earlier by Rosenfeld in his…
The Einstein-Maxwell equations in D-dimensions admitting (D-3) commuting Killing vector fields have been investigated. The existence of the electric, magnetic and twist potentials have been proved. The system is formulated as the harmonic…
Introducing the well known Papapetrou field as the gravitoelectromagnetic field tensor, we express the Maxwell-type part of the 3-dimensional quasi-Maxwell form of the {\it vacuum} Einstein field equations in terms of differential forms,…
It is shown that the vacuum Einstein equations for an arbitrary stationary axisymmetric space-time can be completely separated by re-formulating the Ernst equation and its associated linear system in terms of a non-autonomous…
Einstein spacetimes (that is vacuum spacetimes possibly with a non-zero cosmological constant {\Lambda}) with constant non-zero Weyl eigenvalus are considered. For type Petrov II & D this assumption allows one to prove that the non-repeated…
The Maxwell theory on non-commutative spaces has been considered. The non-linear equations of electromagnetic fields on non-commutative spaces were obtained in the compact spin-tensor (quaternion) form. It was shown that the plane…
