Recent data on supernovae favor high values of the cosmological constant. Spacetimes with a cosmological constant have non-relativistic kinematics quite different from Galilean kinematics. De Sitter spacetimes, vacuum solutions of…
Cosmological billiards arise as a map of the solution of the Einstein equations, when the most general symmetry for the metric tensor is hypothesized, and points are considered as spatially decoupled in the asymptotic limit towards the…
We develop a simple model to study classical fields on the background of a fluctuating spacetime volume. It is applied to formulate the stochastic Einstein equations with a perfect-fluid source. We investigate the particular case of a…
A longstanding conjecture by Belinskii, Lifshitz, and Khalatnikov that the singularity in generic gravitational collapse is locally oscillatory is tested numerically in vacuum, U(1) symmetric cosmological spacetimes on $T^3 \times R$. If…
We derive noncommutative Einstein equations for abelian twists and their solutions in consistently symmetry reduced sectors, corresponding to twisted FRW cosmology and Schwarzschild black holes. While some of these solutions must be…
It is shown in detail that the dynamics of the Einstein-dilaton-p-form system in the vicinity of a spacelike singularity can be asymptotically described, at a generic spatial point, as a billiard motion in a region of Lobachevskii space…
The pseudo-Euclidean Toda-like system of cosmological origin is considered. When certain restrictions on the parameters of the model are imposed, the dynamics of the model near the ``singularity'' is reduced to a billiard on the…
The indefinite sign of the Hamiltonian constraint means that solutions to Einstein's equations must achieve a delicate balance--often among numerically large terms that nearly cancel. If numerical errors cause a violation of the Hamiltonian…
Original abstract: "We construct periodic solutions of nonlinear wave equations using analytic continuation. The construction applies in particular to Einstein equations, leading to infinite-dimensional families of time-periodic solutions…
The existence of a simple spherically symmetric and static solution of the Einstein equations in the presence of a cosmological constant vanishing outside a definite value of the radial distance is investigated. A particular succession of…
The well-known Bielinski-Khalatnikov-Lifshitz (BKL) scenario for the universe near the cosmological singularity is supplemented with a few exact results following from the BKL asymptotic of the Einstein equations: (1) The cosmological…
We show that the recent work of Lee [23] implies existence of a large class of new singularity-free strictly static Lorentzian vacuum solutions of the Einstein equations with a negative cosmological constant. This holds in all space-time…
We study the nature of a family of curvature singularities which are precisely the timelike cousins of the spacelike singularities studied by Belinski, Khalatnikov, and Lifshitz (BKL). We show that the approach to the singularity can be…
A class of exact regular spherically symmetric solutions to the Einstein equation obeying Dymnikova's definition of the vacuumlike state is considered. These solutions, which may be interpreted as black holes, are not only singularity free,…
We consider a procedure of elimination of cosmological singularities similar to that suggested in the recent paper by Simpson and Visser for the construction of regular black holes. It is shown that by imposing a non-singular cosmological…
Cylindrical-like coordinates for constant-curvature 3-spaces are introduced and discussed. This helps to clarify the geometrical properties, the coordinate ranges and the meaning of free parameters in the static vacuum solution of Linet and…
A positive cosmological constant simplifies the asymptotics of forever expanding cosmological solutions of the Einstein equations. In this paper a general mathematical analysis on the level of formal power series is carried out for vacuum…
We derive global weak solutions of Einstein's equations for spherically symmetric dust-filled space-times which admit shell-crossing singularities. In the marginally bound case, the solutions are weak solutions of a conservation law. In the…
We derive gravitational backgrounds that are asymptotically Anti-de Sitter, have a regular black hole horizon and which deep in the interior exhibit mixmaster chaotic dynamics. The solutions are obtained by coupling gravity with a negative…
We consider singular solutions to quasilinear elliptic equations under zero Dirichlet boundary condition. Under suitable assumptions on the nonlinearity we deduce symmetry and monotonicity properties of positive solutions via an improved…
