Conformal extensions of Levy-Leblond's Carroll group, based on geometric properties analogous to those of Newton-Cartan space-time are proposed. The extensions are labelled by an integer $k$. This framework includes and extends our recent…
We construct nonsingular cyclic cosmologies that respect the null energy condition, have a large hierarchy between the minimum and maximum size of the universe, and are stable under linearized fluctuations. The models are supported by a…
In abstract Yang-Mills theory the standard instanton construction relies on the Hodge star having real eigenvalues which makes it inapplicable in the Lorentzian case. We show that for the affine connection an instanton-type construction can…
We consider dimensional reductions of M-theory on $\mathbb{T}^{7}/\mathbb{Z}_{2}^{3}$ with the inclusion of arbitrary metric flux and spacetime filling KK monopoles. With these ingredients at hand, we are able to construct a novel family of…
Spherically symmetric static fluid sources are endowed with rotation and embedded in Kerr empty space-time up to an including quadratic terms in an angular velocity parameter using Darmois junction conditions. Einstein's equation's for the…
We consider $d$-dimensional static spacetimes in Einstein gravity with a cosmological constant in the presence of a minimally coupled massless scalar field. The spacetimes have a $(d-2)$-dimensional base manifold given by an Einstein space…
We establish the future nonlinear stability of a large class of FLRW models as solutions to the Einstein-Dust system. We consider the case of a vanishing cosmological constant, which in particular implies that the expansion rate of the…
We prove the existence of a $C^{1,1}$ conformally compact Einstein metric on the ball that has asymptotic sectional curvature decay to $-1$ plus terms of order $e^{-2r}$ where $r$ is the distance from any fixed compact set. This metric has…
We construct two classes of exact solutions to six and higher dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory in which the metric functions can be written as convolution-like integrals of two special functions. The solutions are regular everywhere and…
We construct stationary, rotating black binaries in general relativity with a positive cosmological constant. We consider identical black holes with either aligned or anti-aligned spins. Both cases have less entropy than the corresponding…
We complete an old argument that causal diamonds in the crunching region of the Lorentzian continuation of a Coleman-Deluccia instanton for transitions out of de Sitter space have finite area, and provide quantum models consistent with the…
It has long been conjectured that the Euclidean Schwarzschild and Euclidean Kerr instantons are the only non-trivial asymptotically flat (AF) gravitational instantons. In this letter, we show that this conjecture is false by explicitly…
We find two new classes of exact solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell system of equations. The matter distribution satisfies a linear equation of state consistent with quark matter. The field equations are integrated by specifying forms for…
The purpose of the present expository paper is to give an account of the recent progress and present status of the classification of solvable Lie groups admitting an Einstein left invariant Riemannian metric, the only known examples so far…
All the causally regular geometries obtained from (2+1)-anti-de Sitter space by identifications by isometries of the form $P \rightarrow (\exp \pi\xi) P$, where $\xi$ is a self-dual Killing vector of $so(2,2)$, are explicitely constructed.…
Thanks to the theory of Coxeter groups, we produce the first family of Calabi-Yau manifolds $X$ of arbitrary dimension $n$, for which $\Bir(X)$ is infinite and the Kawamata-Morrison movable cone conjecture is satisfied. For this family, the…
In this paper, we establish a compactness result for a class of conformally compact Einstein metrics defined on manifolds of dimension $d\ge 4$. As an application, we derive the global uniqueness of a class of conformally compact Einstein…
Recently the small value of the cosmological constant and its ability to accelerate the expansion of the Universe is of great interest. We discuss the possibility of forming of anisotropic compact stars from this cosmological constant as…
A general class of solutions of Einstein's equation for a slowly rotating fluid source, with supporting internal pressure, is matched using Lichnerowicz junction conditions, to the Kerr metric up to and including first order terms in…
We show asymptotic completeness for a class of superradiant Klein-Gordon equations. Our results are applied to the Klein-Gordon equation on the De Sitter Kerr metric with small angular momentum of the black hole. For this equation we obtain…
