We construct the general spherically symmetric and self-similar solution of the Einstein-Vlasov system (collisionless matter coupled to general relativity) with massless particles, under certain regularity conditions. Such solutions have a…
The causal structure of Einstein's evolution equations is considered. We show that in general they can be written as a first order system of balance laws for any choice of slicing or shift. We also show how certain terms in the evolution…
Special relativity corresponds to hyperbolic geometry at constant velocity while the so-called general relativity corresponds to hyperbolic geometry of uniformly accelerated systems. Generalized expressions for angular momentum, centrifugal…
This is the author Master's Thesis and its main purpose is to demonstrate that it is possible to formulate Einstein's field equations as an initial value problem. The first chapter concerns the hyperbolic equations theory. The definition of…
We introduce the Nonlinear Cauchy-Riemann equations as B\"{a}cklund transformations for several nonlinear and linear partial differential equations. From these equations we treat in details the Laplace and the Liouville equations by…

We show that the 3+1 vacuum Einstein field equations in Ashtekar's variables constitutes a first order symmetric hyperbolic system for arbitrary but fixed lapse and shift fields, by suitable adding to the system terms proportional to the…
In this paper we consider some new classes of integral equations that arise from Lie symmetry analysis. Specifically, we consider the task of obtaining solutions of a Cauchy problem for some classes of second order hyperbolic partial…
We introduce a proposal to modify Einstein's equations by embedding them in a larger symmetric hyperbolic system. The additional dynamical variables of the modified system are essentially first integrals of the original constraints. The…
We numerically study spherical gravitational collapse in shift symmetric Einstein dilaton Gauss Bonnet (EdGB) gravity. We find evidence that there are open sets of initial data for which the character of the system of equations changes from…
The open Milne cosmological spacetime has a 3-dimensional Cauchy surface isometric to the (non-compact) hyperbolic space. We prove the globally nonlinear stability of the open Milne spacetime for both massive and massless Einstein-scalar…
It is shown that any two-dimensional spacetimes with compact Cauchy surfaces can be causally isomorphically imbedded into the two-dimensional Einstein's static universe. Also, it is shown that any two-dimensional globally hyperbolic…
The ADM Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity with prescribed lapse and shift is a weakly hyperbolic system of partial differential equations. In general weakly hyperbolic systems are not mathematically well posed. For well…

We study the dynamics of Einstein's equations in Ashtekar's variables from the point of view of the theory of hyperbolic systems of evolution equations. We extend previous results and show that by a suitable modification of the Hamiltonian…
Studies of new hyperbolic systems for the Einstein evolution equations show that the ``slicing density'' $\alpha(t,x)$ can be freely specified while the lapse $N = \alpha g^{1/2}$ cannot. Implementation of this small change in the…
It was shown recently that the constraints on the initial data for Einstein's equations may be posed as an evolutionary problem [9]. In one of the proposed two methods the constraints can be replaced by a first order symmetrizable…
We consider a strictly hyperbolic, genuinely nonlinear system of conservation laws in one space dimension. A sharp decay estimate is proved for the positive waves in an entropy weak solution. The result is stated in terms of a partial…
This paper considers the Cauchy problem for the quasilinear hyperbolic system of balance laws in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 2$. The system is partially dissipative in the sense that there is an eigen-family violating the Kawashima condition. By…
