Two solutions of the coupled Einstein-Maxwell field equations are found by means of the Horsky-Mitskievitch generating conjecture. The vacuum limit of those obtained classes of spacetimes is the seed gamma-metric and each of the generated…
We give a formulation of the vacuum Einstein equations in terms of a set of volume-preserving vector fields on a four-manifold ${\cal M}$. These vectors satisfy a set of equations which are a generalisation of the Yang-Mills equations for a…
These lectures are devoted to the low energy limit of \N2 SUSY gauge theories, which is described in terms of integrable systems. A special emphasis is on a duality that naturally acts on these integrable systems. The duality turns out to…
We present a new generating algorithm to construct exact non static solutions of the Einstein field equations with two-dimensional inhomogeneity. Infinite dimensional families of $G_1$ inhomogeneous solutions with a self interacting scalar…
We obtain an exact solution for the Einstein's equations with cosmological constant coupled to a scalar, static particle in static, "spherically" symmetric background in 2+1 dimensions.
We consider Einstein gravity coupled to two Maxwell fields and one dilatonic scalar, and construct spherically-symmetric and static black holes that are charged under both Maxwell fields in general $D$ dimensions. We find that for suitable…
Integrable structures arise in general relativity when the spacetime possesses a pair of commuting Killing vectors admitting 2-spaces orthogonal to the group orbits. The physical interpretation of such spacetimes depends on the norm of the…
Recently, a double-copy formalism was used to calculate gravitational radiation from classical Yang-Mills radiation solutions. This work shows that Yang-Mills theory coupled to a biadjoint scalar field admits a radiative double copy that…
We construct a new covariant action for "flat" self-dual gravity in four spacetime dimensions. The action has just one term, but when expanded around an appropriate background gives rise to a kinetic term and a cubic interaction. Upon…
We consider a model involving a self-interacting complex scalar field minimally coupled to gravity and emphasize the cylindrically symmetric classical solutions. A general ansatz is performed which transforms the field equations into a…
In this paper we derive a differential identity for linearized gravity on the Kerr spacetime and more generally on vacuum spacetimes of Petrov type D. We show that a linear combination of second derivatives of the linearized Weyl tensor can…
We extend the conformal gluing construction of Isenberg-Mazzeo-Pollack [18] by establishing an analogous gluing result for field theories obtained by minimally coupling Einstein's gravitational theory with matter fields. We treat classical…
Considering the spin-coefficient version of the left-flat vacuum Einstein equations, all but one of the fifty equations can be explicitly integrated via the introduction of five spin-weight s=-2 complex potentials. The final equation is a…
The isometric immersion of two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds or surfaces with negative Gauss curvature into the three-dimensional Euclidean space is studied in this paper. The global weak solutions to the Gauss-Codazzi equations with…
We express the vacuum Einstein constraints in terms of differential forms - the forms include one-forms constituting an orthonormal coframe of the spatial metric. We show that if the metric is real-analytic, then the constraints can be…
The space of self-dual Einstein spacetimes in 4 dimensions is acted on by an infinite dimensional Lie algebra called the $Lw_{1+\infty}$ algebra. In this work we explain how one can ``build up'' self-dual metrics by acting on the flat…
The construction of self-dual vortex solutions to the Chern-Simons-Higgs model (with a suitable eighth-order potential) coupled to Einstein gravity in (2 + 1) dimensions is reconsidered. We show that the self-duality condition may be…
A 3-dimensional reduction of the seld-dual Yang-Mills (SDYM) equation, named SDYM3, is examined from the point of view of its symmetry and integrability characteristics. By using a non-auto-Backlund transformation, this equation is…
For the symmetric space sigma model in the internal metric formalism we explicitly construct the lagrangian in terms of the axions and the dilatons of the solvable Lie algebra gauge and then we exactly derive the axion-dilaton field…
We show that we can derive the asymptotic Einstein's equations that arises at order $1/r$ in asymptotically flat gravity purely from symmetry considerations. This is achieved by studying the transformation properties of functionals of the…
