Rotating relativistic stars have been studied extensively in recent years, both theoretically and observationally, because of the information they might yield about the equation of state of matter at extremely high densities and because…
Gravitational fields invariant for a 2-dimensional Lie algebra of Killing fields [ X,Y] =Y, with Y of light type, are analyzed. The conditions for them to represent gravitational waves are verified and the definition of energy and…

In this work, we study the dynamics of a spinning particle in pp-waves spacetimes; in particular, plane gravitational waves and impulsive shockwaves. W pay special attention to analytical considerations; this is possible due to an…
We study the longitudinal spin polarization of a relativistic fluid of massive spin-1/2 particles undergoing a boost-invariant expansion in the longitudinal direction and rotating in the transverse plane. We express the polarization vector…
This paper discusses the somewhat unintuitive conjecture that many Lorentz-invariant many-particle models can be reinterpreted to satisfy the gtr field equations. It is shown that a careful remapping of coordinates yields a non-trivial…
The present work can be regarded as a corollary to the paper titled "Neutrino decoherence in presence of strong gravitational fields". Specifically, we investigate the gravitationally-induced decoherence on neutrino oscillation from the…
