An important tool in the study of conformal geometry, and the AdS/CFT correspondence in physics, is the Fefferman-Graham expansion of conformally compact Einstein metrics. We show that conformally compact metrics satisfying a generalization…
Recall that the usual Einstein metrics are those for which the first Ricci contraction of the covariant Riemann curvature tensor is proportional to the metric. Assuming the same type of restrictions but instead on the different contractions…
Given a closed Riemannian manifold $(M, g_M)$ of dimension $n \geq 3$, we prove the existence of a conformally compact Einstein metric $g_{+}$ defined on a collar neighborhood $M \times (0,1]$ whose conformal infinity is $[g_M]$.
Recent results on solutions of the Einstein equations with matter are surveyed and a number of open questions are stated. The first group of results presented concern asymptotically flat spacetimes, both stationary and dynamical. Then there…
A formalism (zeta-complex analysis), allowing one to construct global Einstein metrics by matching together local ones described in the papers Phys. Lett. B 513(2001)142-146; Diff. Geom. Appl. 16(2002)95-120, is developed. With this…
We find a new obstruction for a real Einstein 4-orbifold with an A1-singularity to be a limit of smooth Einstein 4-manifolds. The obstruction is a curvature condition at the singular point. For asymptotically hyperbolic metrics, with…
It has long been considered that conformal superspace is the natural configuration space for canonical general relativity. However, this was never definitively demonstrated. We have found that the standard conformal method of solving the…
This paper initiates the study of the Einstein equation on homogeneous supermanifolds. First, we produce explicit curvature formulas for graded Riemannian metrics on these spaces. Next, we present a construction of homogeneous…
We discuss solutions of several questions concerning the geometry of conformal planes.
This article is a guide to theorems on existence and global dynamics of solutions of the Einstein equations. It draws attention to open questions in the field. The local in time Cauchy problem, which is relatively well understood, is…
We discuss various space-time metrics which are compatible with Einstein's equations and a previously suggested cosmology with a finite total mass. In this alternative cosmology the matter density was postulated to be a spatial delta…
Self-gravitating horizonless ultra-compact objects that possess light rings have attracted the attention of physicists and mathematicians in recent years. In the present compact paper we raise the following physically interesting question:…
Conformal Ricci and conformal matter collineations for the combination of two perfect fluids in General Relativity are investigated. We study the existence of timelike and spacelike conformal Ricci and matter collineations by introducing…
We examine here the space of conformally compact metrics $g$ on the interior of a compact manifold with boundary which have the property that the $k^{th}$ elementary symmetric function of the Schouten tensor $A_g$ is constant. When $k=1$…
In the present investigation compact stellar models are dealt with in the framework of the modified gravity theory, specifically of $f(\mathbb{T},\mathcal{T})$ type. We have considered that the compact objects are following a spherically…
Motivated by the analysis and geometry of metric-measure structures in infinite dimensions, we study the category of extended metric-topological spaces, along with many of its distinguished subcategories (such as the one of compact spaces).…
We give a concise proof that large classes of optimal (constant curvature or Einstein) pseudo-Riemannian metrics are maximally symmetric within their conformal class.
This short review is devoted to measures on infinite dimensional spaces. We start by discussing product measures and projective techniques. Special attention is paid to measures on linear spaces, and in particular to Gaussian measures.…
We prove that any compact complex surface with positive first Chern class admits an Einstein metric which is conformally related to a Kaehler metric. The key new ingredient is the existence of such a metric on the blow-up of the complex…
In this paper we study the extent to which conformally compact asymptotically hyperbolic metrics may be characterized intrinsically. Building on the work of the first author, we prove that decay of sectional curvature to -1 and decay of…
