Spherically, plane, or hyperbolically symmetric spacetimes with an additional hypersurface orthogonal Killing vector are often called ``static'' spacetimes even if they contain regions where the Killing vector is non-timelike. It seems to…

It is known that every compact simple Lie group admits a bi-invariant homogeneous Einstein metric. In this paper we use two ansatz to probe the existence of additional inequivalent Einstein metrics on the Lie group SU (n) for arbitrary n.…

We consider the Einstein deformations of the reducible rank two symmetric spaces of noncompact type. If $M$ is the product of any two real, complex, quaternionic or octonionic hyperbolic spaces, we prove that the family of nearby Einstein…

We prove that there exists at least one positive Einstein metric on $\mathbb{HP}^{m+1}\sharp \overline{\mathbb{HP}}^{m+1}$ for $m\geq 2$. Based on the existence of the first Einstein metric, we give a criterion to check the existence of a…

We discuss Petrov type D Einstein-Maxwell fields in which both double null eigenvectors of the Weyl tensor are non-aligned with the eigenvectors of a non-null electromagnetic field and are assumed to be geodesic, shear-free, diverging and…

It has often been suggested (especially by Carlip) that spacetime symmetries in the neighborhood of a black hole horizon may be relevant to a statistical understanding of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. A prime candidate for this type of…

This survey deals with two closely connected topics: first, the stability of Einstein metrics under the Einstein-Hilbert functional, and second, their deformation theory and the study of the moduli space of Einstein metrics on a compact…

Several Einstein-Sasaki 7-metrics appearing in the physical literature are fibered over four dimensional Kahler-Einstein metrics. Instead we consider here the natural Kahler-Einstein metrics defined over the twistor space Z of any…

We give new examples of compact, negatively curved Einstein manifolds of dimension $4$. These are seemingly the first such examples which are not locally homogeneous. Our metrics are carried by a sequence of 4-manifolds $(X_k)$ previously…

We study Hermitian metrics with constant second scalar curvature on compact manifolds. We first consider a Yamabe-type problem for the second Bismut scalar curvature under a natural topological condition, and then analyze elliptic equations…

We construct explicit global symplectic coordinates for the Calabi's inhomogeneous Kaehler-Einstein metric on tubular domains.

We describe and construct here pseudo-Hermitian structures $\theta$ without torsion (i.e. with transversal symmetry) whose Webster-Ricci curvature tensor is a constant multiple of the exterior differential $d\theta$. We call these…

Let $M = G/H$ be a connected simply connected homogeneous manifold of a compact, not necessarily connected Lie group $G$. We will assume that the isotropy $H$-module $\mathfrak {g/h}$ has a simple spectrum, i.e. irreducible submodules are…

The conformal Killing equations for the most general (non-plane wave) conformally flat pure radiation field are solved to find the conformal Killing vectors. As expected fifteen independent conformal Killing vectors exist, but in general…

Four dimensional simply connected Lie groups admitting a pseudo K\"ahler metric are determined. The corresponding Lie algebras are modelized and the compatible pairs $(J,\omega)$ are parametrized up to complex isomorphism (where $J$ is a…

This paper consists of two results dealing with balanced metrics (in S. Donaldson terminology) on nonconpact complex manifolds. In the first one we describe all balanced metrics on Cartan domains. In the second one we show that the only…

We consider a general 4n-dimensional quaternionic Kahler geometry with a free action of the torus T^(n+1). The toric action lifts onto the Swann bundle of the quaternionic Kahler space to a tri-holomorphic action that commutes with the…

We provide an explicit resolution of the existence problem for extremal Kaehler metrics on toric 4-orbifolds M with second Betti number b2(M)=2. More precisely we show that M admits such a metric if and only if its rational Delzant polytope…

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 study time-dependent compactification of extra dimensions. We assume that the spacetime is spatially homogeneous, and solve the vacuum Einstein equations without cosmological constant in more than three dimensions. We consider globally…
