We study the exact solution of Einstein's field equations consisting of a ($n+2$)-dimensional static and hyperplane symmetric thick slice of matter, with constant and positive energy density $\rho$ and thickness $d$, surrounded by two…
We present a new two-parameter family of solutions of Einstein gravity with negative cosmological constant in 2+1 dimensions. These solutions are obtained by squashing the anti-de Sitter geometry along one direction and posses four Killing…
Explicit time-dependent solutions of the 10D vacuum Einstein equations are found for which spacetime is compactified on six-dimensional warped spaces. We explicitly work out an example where the internal manifold is a six-dimensional…
In this short note, we establish a quantitative description of the genericity of transversality of $C^1$-submanifolds in $\mathbb{R}^n$: Let $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a $d$-dimensional $C^1$-embedded submanifold where $n \geq d+1$.…
When Einstein's equations for an asymptotically flat, vacuum spacetime are reexpressed in terms of an appropriate conformal metric that is regular at (future) null infinity, they develop apparently singular terms in the associated conformal…
We present vacuum spacetime solutions of first order gravity, which are described by the exterior Schwarzschild geometry in one region and by degenerate tetrads in the other. The invertible and noninvertible phases of the tetrad meet at an…
In a space-time $M$ with a Killing vector field $\xi^a$ which is either everywhere timelike or everywhere spacelike, the collection of all trajectories of $\xi^a$ gives a 3-dimension space $S$. Besides the symmetry-reduced action from that…
By resolving the Riemann curvature relative to a unit timelike vector into electric and magnetic parts, we consider duality relations analogous to the electromagnetic theory. It turns out that the duality symmetry of the Einstein action…

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…
By using the method of group analysis, we obtain a new exact evolving and spherically symmetric solution of the Einstein-Cartan equations of motion, corresponding to a space-time threaded with a three-form Kalb-Ramond field strength. The…
The paper presents a generalization and further development of our recent publications where solutions of the Klein-Fock-Gordon equation defined on a few particular $D=(2+1)$-dim static space-time manifolds were considered. The latter…
The time independent spherically symmetric solutions of General Relativity (GR) coupled to a dynamical unit timelike vector are studied. We find there is a three-parameter family of solutions with this symmetry. Imposing asymptotic flatness…
We explicitly show that in (2+1) dimensions the general solution of the Einstein equations with negative cosmological constant on a neigbourhood of timelike spatial infinity can be obtained from BTZ metrics by coordinate transformations…
The second Bianchi identity can be recast as an evolution equation for the Riemann curvatures. Here we will report on such a system for a vacuum static spherically symmetric spacetime. This is the first of two papers. In the following paper…
We introduce a new class of inhomogeneous cosmological models as solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell equations in electrovacuum. The new models can be considered to be nonlinear perturbations, through an electromagnetic field, of the…
We establish a one-to-one correspondence between static spacetimes and Riemannian manifolds that maps causal geodesics to geodesics, as suggested by L. C. Epstein. We then explore constant curvature spacetimes - such as the de Sitter and…
Given asymptotically flat initial data on M^3 for the vacuum Einstein field equation, and given a bounded domain in M, we construct solutions of the vacuum constraint equations which agree with the original data inside the given domain, and…
