We present a class of static membrane solutions, with non-flat worldvolume geometry, in the eleven dimensional supergravity with source terms. This class of solutions contains supersymmetric as well as a large class of non-supersymmetric…
We present a generalization of the n-dimensional (pure) Lovelock Gravity theory based on an enlarged Lorentz symmetry. In particular, we propose an alternative way to introduce a cosmological term. Interestingly, we show that the usual pure…

Motivated by the problem of defining the entanglement entropy of the graviton, we study the division of the phase space of general relativity across subregions. Our key requirement is demanding that the separation into subregions is…

The new solution of the Einstein equations in empty space is presented. The solution is constructed using Schwarzschild solution but essentially differs from it. The basic properties of the solution are: the existence of a horizon which is…

In the Minkowski space, we consider a compact, spacelike hypersurface with boundary, which can be written as a graph on a spacelike hyperplane. We prove that, if its $k$-th mean curvature is constant, and its boundary is on the hyperplane…
