It is shown that the generally covariant Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau equation, formulated in the frame of the Tetrode-Weyl-Fock-Ivanenko tetrad formalism, allows for a non-relativistic approximation if the metric tensor is of a special form. The…

In this work, we study the dynamics of a spinning particle in pp-waves spacetimes; in particular, plane gravitational waves and impulsive shockwaves. W pay special attention to analytical considerations; this is possible due to an…

The curvature tensor of a pseudo-Riemannian metric, and its covariant derivatives, satisfy certain identities that hold on any manifold of dimension less or equal than $n$. In this paper, we re-elaborate recent results by…

We prove that the essential smoothness of the gravitational metric at shock waves in GR, a PDE regularity issue for weak solutions of the Einstein equations, is determined by a geometrical condition which we introduce and name the {\it…

We present a coordinate system for a general impulsive gravitational pp - wave in vacuum in which the metric is explicitly continuous, synchronous and "transverse". Also, it is more appropriate for investigation of particle motions.

In this work we consider periodic spherically symmetric metrics of constant positive scalar curvature on the n-dimensional cylinder called pseudo-cylindric metrics. These metrics belong to the conformal class $[g_0]$ of the Riemannian…

The general parametrization of spherically symmetric and asymptotically flat black-hole spacetimes in arbitrary metric theories of gravity was suggested in [3]. The parametrization is based on the continued fraction expansion in terms of…

Theories of gravity are fundamentally a relation between matter and the geometric structure of the underlying spacetime. So once we put some additional restrictions on the spacetime geometry, the theory of gravity is bound to get the…

We review the physics of atoms and clocks in weakly curved spacetime, and how each may be used to test the Einstein Equivalence Principle (EEP) in the context of the minimal Standard Model Extension (mSME). We find that conventional clocks…

In the context of mathematical cosmology, the study of necessary and sufficient conditions for a semi-Riemannian manifold to be a (generalised) Robertson-Walker space-time is important. In particular, it is a requirement for the development…

The present study initially identify the generalized symmetric connections of type $(\alpha,\beta)$, which can be regarded as more generalized forms of quarter and semi-symmetric connections. The quarter and semi-symmetric connections are…

Quantum geometry governs a wide range of transport and optical phenomena in quantum materials. Recent works have explored analogue electromagnetism and gravity in terms of the quantum geometric tensor, whose real and imaginary parts…

We exhibit all spatially isotropic homogeneous Galilean spacetimes of dimension $(n+1) \geq 4$, including the novel torsional ones, as null reductions of homogeneous pp-wave spacetimes. We also show that the pp-waves are sourced by pure…

Analogies between gravitation and electromagnetism have been known since the 1950s. Here, we examine a fairly general type D solution---the exact seven parameter solution of Pleba\'nski--Demia\'nski (PD)---to demonstrate these analogies for…

We investigate the stability of timelike Ricci curvature lower bounds under low-regularity limits of Lorentzian metrics. Specifically, we prove that the synthetic curvature-dimension condition $TCD^e_p(K,N)$, which provides an optimal…

We study the Riemann curvature tensor of (\kappa,\mu,\nu)-spaces when they have almost cosymplectic and almost Kenmotsu structures, giving its writing explicitly. This leads to the definition and study of a natural generalisation of the…

Linear perturbations of spherically symmetric spacetimes in general relativity are described by radial wave equations, with potentials that depend on the spin of the perturbing field. In previous work we studied the quasinormal mode…

We show that the generalized Ricci tensor of a weighted complete Riemannian manifold can be retrieved asymptotically from a scaled metric derivative of Wasserstein 1-distances between normalized weighted local volume measures. As an…

We introduce a natural extension of the metric tensor and the Hodge star operator to the algebra of double forms to study some aspects of the structure of this algebra. These properties are then used to study new Riemannian curvature…

We study the most general, relativistic, constituent $q{\overline q}$ meson wave function within a new covariant framework. We find that by including a tensor wave function component, a pure valence quark model is now capable of reproducing…
