In this work we are interested in studying deformations of the $\sigma_2$-curvature and the volume. For closed manifolds, we relate critical points of the total $\sigma_2$-curvature functional to the $\sigma_2$-Einstein metrics and, as a…

We generalise the classical Chern-Gauss-Bonnet formula to a class of 4-dimensional manifolds with finitely many conformally flat ends and singular points. This extends results of Chang-Qing-Yang in the smooth case. Under the assumptions of…

We present new exact solutions for two-dimensional geometries generated by continuous distributions of topological defects within a conformal metric framework. By reformulating Einstein's equations in two dimensions as a Poisson equation…

In this paper we derive a Gauss-Bonnet formula for the renormalized area of Graham-Witten minimal hypersurfaces of 5-dimensional Poincar\'e-Einstein spaces. The formula we derive expresses the renormalized area in terms of integrals of…

The Gauss-Bonnet curvature of order $2k$ is a generalization to higher dimensions of the Gauss-Bonnet integrand in dimension $2k$, as the usual scalar curvature generalizes the two dimensional Gauss-Bonnet integrand. In this paper, we…

We study solutions of Einstein gravity coupled to a positive cosmological constant and matter, which are asymptotically de Sitter and homogeneous. Regarded as perturbations of de Sitter space, a theorem of Gao and Wald implies that…

All spherically symmetric Riemannian metrics of constant scalar curvature in any dimension can be written down in a simple form using areal coordinates. All spherical metrics are conformally flat, so we search for the conformally flat…

We prove that the renormalized Yang-Mills energy on six dimensional Poincar\'e-Einstein spaces can be expressed as the bulk integral of a local, pointwise conformally invariant integrand. We show that the latter agrees with the…

Krasnov (arXiv: hep-th/0005106) identified the renormalized volume of a Schottky 3-manifold with the action of the Liouville theory on the conformal infiinity. We try to compute the renormalized volume in terms of more transparent geometric…

We study pseudo-Riemannian Einstein manifolds which are conformally equivalent with a metric product of two pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. Particularly interesting is the case where one of these manifolds is 1-dimensional and the case where…

We define a notion of renormalized volume of an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold. Moreover, we prove a sharp volume comparison theorem for metrics with scalar curvature at least -6. Finally, we show that the inequality is strict unless…

Let $(M^4,\bar{g})$ be an Einstein manifold, where $M^4$ is a smooth, closed, oriented four-manifold $M^4$ and $\bar{g}$ has positive Einstein constant. Given a point $0 \in M^4$, let $G$ denote the (positive) Green's function $G$ of the…

This paper focuses on renormalizable cosmology based on the Gauss-Bonnet theory with torsion. Within the framework of renormalizable quantum field theory, we study the matter field containing the Gauss-Bonnet correction term. By modifying…

The renormalization group method has been adapted to the analysis of the long-time behavior of non-linear partial differential equation and has demonstrated its power in the study of critical phenomena of gravitational collapse. In the…

It is shown that Einstein gravity in four dimensions with small cosmological constant and small extra dimensions can be obtained by spontaneous compactification of Lovelock gravity in vacuum. Assuming that the extra dimensions are compact…

We calculate the volumes of a large class of Einstein manifolds, namely Sasaki-Einstein manifolds which are the bases of Ricci-flat affine cones described by polynomial embedding relations in C^n. These volumes are important because they…

Patterson discussed the curvature identities on Riemannian manifolds in [14], and a curvature identity for any 6-dimensional Riemannian manifold was independently derived from the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet Theorem [8]. In this paper, we provide…

Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in five-dimensional spacetime provides an excellent example of a theory that, while including higher-order curvature corrections to General Relativity, still shares many of its features, such as second-order…
