A comprehensive analysis of general relativistic spacetimes which admit a shear-free, irrotational and geodesic timelike congruence is presented. The equations governing the models for a general energy-momentum tensor are written down.…
New general results of non-existence and rigidity of spacelike submanifolds immersed in a spacetime, whose mean curvature is a time-oriented causal vector field, are given. These results hold for a wide class of spacetimes which includes…
The classical definition of {\em global hyperbolicity} for a spacetime $(M,g)$ comprises two conditions: (A) compactness of the diamonds $J^+(p)\cap J^-(q)$, and (B) strong causality. Here we show that condition (B) can be replaced just by…
We consider the linearized semiclassical Einstein equations for small deviations around de Sitter spacetime including the vacuum polarization effects of conformal fields. Employing the method of order reduction, we find the exact solutions…
We study separability of scalar, vector and tensor fields in 5-dimensional Myers-Perry spacetimes with equal angular momenta. In these spacetimes, there exists enlarged symmetry, $U(2) \simeq SU(2) \times U(1)$. Using the group theoretical…
A theory governing the metric and matter fields in spacetime is {\it locally causal} if the probability distribution for the fields in any region is determined solely by physical data in the region's past, i.e. it is independent of events…
In this paper, we review results on the existence (and nonexistence) of constant mean curvature spacelike hypersurfaces in the cosmological setting, and discuss the connection to the spacetime splittng problem. It is a pleasure to dedicate…
We consider surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector field and finite total curvature in product spaces of type $\mathbb{M}^n(c)\times\mathbb{R}$, where $\mathbb{M}^n(c)$ is a space form, and characterize certain of these surfaces. When…
For locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) spacetimes, we construct two equivalent forms of the Komar current derived from a conformal Killing vector. One is a kinematic construction and the other is in terms of the matter quantities on the…
In this work we establish a version of the Bartnik Splitting Conjecture in the context of Lorentzian length spaces. In precise terms, we show that under an appropriate timelike completeness condition, a globally hyperbolic Lorentzian length…
In this article and its sequel we discuss the asymptotic structure of space-times representing isolated bodies in General Relativity. Such space-times are usually required to be asymptotically flat (AF), and thus to have a prescribed type…
We study real linear scalar field theory on two simple non-globally hyperbolic spacetimes containing closed timelike curves within the framework proposed by Kay for algebraic quantum field theory on non-globally hyperbolic spacetimes. In…
Motivated by supersymmetry methods in general relativity, we study four-dimensional Lorentzian space-times with a complex Dirac spinor field satisfying a Killing-spinor-like equation where the Killing constant is promoted to a complex…
A study is undertaken of the gravitational collapse of spherically symmetric thick shells admitting a homothetic Killing vector field under the assumption that the energy momentum tensor corresponds to the absence of a pure outgoing…
Let $X$ be a Hamiltonian vector field defined on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$, $g$ a nowhere vanishing smooth function defined on an open dense subset $M^0$ of $M$. We will say that the vector field $Y = gX$ is conformally…
We introduce the notion of a standard static Finsler spacetime where the base is a Finsler manifold. We prove some results which connect causality with the Finslerian geometry of the base extending analogous ones for static and stationary…
In this paper, we show that some five-dimensional rotating black hole solutions of both gauged and ungauged supergravity, with independent rotation parameters and three charges admit separable solutions to the massless Hamilton-Jacobi and…
Several uniqueness results for non-compact complete stationary spacelike surfaces in an $n(\geq 3)$-dimensional Generalized Robertson Walker spacetime are obtained. In order to do that, we assume a natural inequality involving the Gauss…
The general metric for conformally flat stationary cyclic symmetric noncircular spacetimes is explicitly given. In spite of the complexity introduced by the inclusion of noncircular contributions, the related metric is derived via the full…
We consider a globally hyperbolic, stationary spacetime containing a black hole but no white hole. We assume, further, that the event horizon, $\tn$, of the black hole is a Killing horizon with compact cross-sections. We prove that if…
