We recently showed (Class. Quantum Grav.\ 23, 3353; gr-qc/0602091) that aligned Petrov type D purely magnetic perfect fluids are necessarily locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) and hence are all explicitly known. We provide here a more…

We consider static spacetimes whose spatial part admits foliations with the extrinsic curvature tensor K_{ab}=0. There are two complementary cases when the gradient of the lapse function points 1) to the direction of foliation or 2)…
We examine the stability of an Einstein-Maxwell perfect fluid configuration with a privileged direction of symmetry by means of a $1+1+2$-tetrad formalism. We use this formalism to cast, in a quasi linear symmetric hyperbolic form the…

In this paper we investigate a class of solutions of Einstein equations for the plane-symmetric perfect fluid case with shear and vanishing acceleration. If these solutions have shear, they must necessarily be non-static. We examine the…
Certain semi-Riemannian metrics can be decomposed into a Riemannian part and an isochronal part. The properties of such metrics are particularly easy to visualize in a coordinate-free way, using isometric embedding. We present such an…

The existence of stationary solutions to the Einstein-Vlasov system which are axially symmetric and have non-zero total angular momentum is shown. This provides mathematical models for rotating, general relativistic and asymptotically flat…
We present a topologically trivial, non-vacuum solution of the Einstein's field equations in four-dimensions, which is regular everywhere. The metric admits circular closed timelike curves, which appear beyond the null curve, and these…

A perfect-fluid space-time of dimension n>3 with 1) irrotational velocity vector field, 2) null divergence of the Weyl tensor, is a generalised Robertson-Walker space-time with Einstein fiber. Condition 1) is verified whenever pressure and…
