The usual derivation of Einstein's field equations from the Einstein--Hilbert action is performed by silently assuming the metric tensor's symmetric character. If this symmetry is not assumed, the result is a new theory, such as Einstein's…

We introduce a new parabolic flow deforming any Riemannian metric on a spin manifold by following a constrained gradient flow of the total scalar curvature. This flow is built out of the well-known Dirac-Einstein functional. We prove local…
The main difficulty in solving the Helmholtz equation within polygons is due to non-analytic vertices. By using a method nearly identical to that used by Fox, Henrici, and Moler in their 1967 paper; it is demonstrated that such eigenvalue…
We construct the Einstein equation for an invariant Riemannian metric on the exceptional full flag manifold $M=G_2/T$. By computing a Gr\"obner basis for a system of polynomials of multi-variables we prove that this manifold admits exactly…

We exhibit a new consistent group-manifold reduction of pure Einstein gravity in the vielbein formulation when the compactification group manifold is S^3. The novel feature in the reduction is to exploit the two 3-dimensional Lie algebras…
We formulate an approach to the geometry of Riemann-Cartan spaces provided with nonholonomic distributions defined by generic off-diagonal and nonsymmetric metrics inducing effective nonlinear and affine connections. Such geometries can be…
We study singular K\"ahler-Einstein metrics that are obtained as non-collapsed limits of polarized K\"ahler-Einstein manifolds. Our main result is that if the metric tangent cone at a point is locally isomorphic to the germ of the…
As a contribution towards quantizing three-dimensional gravity, we show at the classical level that Euclidean three-dimensional Einstein gravity with a negative cosmological constant is uplifted to the $SU(2)$-invariant sector of…
We identify a set of "energy" functionals on the space of metrics in a given Kaehler class on a Calabi-Yau manifold, which are bounded below and minimized uniquely on the Ricci-flat metric in that class. Using these functionals, we recast…
We exploit an interpretation of gravity as the symmetry broken phase of a de Sitter gauge theory to construct new solutions to the first order field equations. The new solutions are constructed by performing large $Spin(4,1)$ gauge…
