We consider the 3-dimensional formulation of Einstein's theory for spacetimes possessing a non-null Killing field $\xi^a$. It is known that for the vacuum case some of the basic field equations are deducible from the others. It will be…
We find a new class of time-dependent brane solutions in supergravities in arbitrary dimensions $D$. These are general intersecting light-like branes (null-branes), and their superposition and intersection rules are obtained. This is…

We prove the existence of a class of perfect-fluid cosmologies with polarised Gowdy symmetry and a Kasner-like singularity. These solutions of the Einstein equations depend on four free functions of one space coordinate and are constructed…

Contrary to common belief, (electro)vacuum Brans-Dicke gravity does not reduce to general relativity for large Brans-Dicke coupling $\omega$, a problem which has never been fully solved. Two new approaches, independent from each other, shed…
