Given a projective structure on a surface $N$, we show how to canonically construct a neutral signature Einstein metric with non-zero scalar curvature as well as a symplectic form on the total space $M$ of a certain rank $2$ affine bundle…
We classify super-symmetric solutions of the minimal $N=2$ gauged Euclidean supergravity in four dimensions. The solutions with anti-self-dual Maxwell field give rise to anti-self-dual Einstein metrics given in terms of solutions to the…
The theory described by the sum of the Einstein-Hilbert action and the action of conformal scalar field possesses the duality symmetry which includes some special conformal transformation of the metric, and also inversion of scalar field…
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…
The system of Einstein-Maxwell equations for fields mentioned in the title is simplified. Known pure radiation solutions are systematized and new solutions are given by separating the variables.
The linearized Einstein equations in D spacetime dimensions can be written as twisted self-duality equations expressing that the linearized curvature tensor of the graviton described by a rank-two symmetric tensor, is dual to the linearized…
A discussion is given of the conformal Einstein field equations coupled with matter whose energy-momentum tensor is trace-free. These resulting equations are expressed in terms of a generic Weyl connection. The article shows how in the…
We discuss alternative descriptions of four-dimensional self-dual Yang-Mills fields in harmonic space with additional commuting spinor coordinates. In particular, the linear analyticity equation and nonlinear covariant harmonic-field…
We show that self-dual electromagnetism in noncommutative spacetime is equivalent to self-dual Einstein gravity.
We reduce the Taub-NUT metric dimensionally to three spatial dimensions by treating time as an extra curled dimension, and end up with the 3-dimensional Einstein field equations plus a corresponding Maxwell type equations for a…
The gravitational self-force has thus far been formulated in background spacetimes for which the metric is a solution to the Einstein field equations in vacuum. While this formulation is sufficient to describe the motion of a small object…
A general method for the construction of solutions of the d'Alambertian and double d'Alambertian (harmonic and bi-harmonic) equations with local dependence of arbitrary functions upon two independent arguments is proposed. The connection…
We perform a general computation of the off-shell one-loop divergences in Einstein gravity, in a two-parameter family of path integral measures, corresponding to different ways of parametrizing the graviton field, and a two-parameter family…
In this contribution we deal with several issues one encounters when trying to couple quantum matter to classical gravitational fields. We start with a general background discussion and then move on to two more technical sections. In the…
The Newman-Penrose map, which is closely related to the classical double copy, associates certain exact solutions of Einstein's equations with self-dual solutions of the vacuum Maxwell equations. Here we initiate an extension of the…
By resolving the Riemann curvature relative to a unit timelike vector into electric and magnetic parts, we consider duality relations analogous to the electromagnetic theory. It turns out that the duality symmetry of the Einstein action…
All the causally regular geometries obtained from (2+1)-anti-de Sitter space by identifications by isometries of the form $P \rightarrow (\exp \pi\xi) P$, where $\xi$ is a self-dual Killing vector of $so(2,2)$, are explicitely constructed.…
It is shown how the different irreducibility classes of the energy-momentum tensor allow for a Lagrangian formulation of the gravity-matter system using a selfdual 2-form as a basic variable. It is pointed out what kind of difficulties…
In this work, we present a new interpretation of the only static vacuum solution of Einstein's field equations with planar symmetry, the Taub solution. This solution is a member of the $AIII$ class of metrics, along with the type D Kasner…
We present a novel derivation of the spacetime metric generated by matter, without invoking Einstein's field equations. For static sources, the metric arises from a relativistic formulation of D'Alembert's principle, where the inertial…
