We review recent work on the existence and nature of cosmological singularities that can be formed during the evolution of generic as well as specific cosmological spacetimes in general relativity. We first discuss necessary and sufficient…

We investigate the matching, across cylindrical surfaces, of static cylindrically symmetric conformally flat spacetimes with a cosmological constant $\Lambda$, satisfying regularity conditions at the axis, to an exterior Linet-Tian…

A new cosmological object in analogy with the concept of a wormhole in general relativity is introduced. As wormholes connect two distant points through a tunnel in spacetime, this new object connects two spacetime through a large mouth…

Taking advantage of the natural length scale set by the cosmological constant $\Lambda>0$, conditions on the parameters $(\Lambda, M, a^{2})$ have been found, so that a Kerr-de Sitter specetime either describes a black hole with well…

We study topological defects with a general structure in higher-dimensional cosmological backgrounds described by a set of angle deficit parameters. As special cases, they include higher-dimensional generalizations of cosmic strings and…

In this contribution, we study spacetimes of cosmological interest, without making any symmetry assumptions. We prove a rigid Hawking singularity theorem for positive cosmological constant, which sharpens known results. In particular, it…

We show that ultra-massive spacetimes exist also in 2 + 1 dimensions with a positive cosmological constant {\Lambda} > 0. They can be created through the collapse of a spherical null dust shell. The exterior of the shell is then a Mess…

This paper studies the spatially homogeneous Einstein-de Sitter cosmological model in the context of a relativistic hierarchical (fractal) cosmology as developed in paper I (0807.0866). The Einstein-de Sitter model is treated as a special…

We study conditions for the existence of asymptotic observables in cosmology. With the exception of de Sitter space, the thermal properties of accelerating universes permit arbitrarily long observations, and guarantee the production of…

A multidimensional cosmological model with space-time consisting of n (n>1) Einstein spaces M_i is investigated in the presence of a cosmological constant Lambda and a homogeneous minimally coupled free scalar field. Generalized de Sitter…

Applying the cosmological principle to Finsler spacetimes, we identify the Lie Algebra of symmetry generators of spatially homogeneous and isotropic Finsler geometries, thus generalising Friedmann-Lema\^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker geometry. In…

We present a detailed investigation of the cosmological dynamics based on $\exp (-R/{\Lambda})$ gravity. We apply the dynamical system approach to both the vacuum and matter cases and obtain exact solutions and their stability in the finite…

Recently, the holographic aspects of asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes have generated substantial literary interest. The plot continues in this paper, as we investigate a certain class of dilatonically deformed ``topological'' de Sitter…

Morrow-Jones and Witt have shown that generic spatial topologies admit initial data that evolve to locally de Sitter spacetimes under Einstein's equations. We simplify their arguments, make them a little more general, and solve for the…

The existence and nature of singularities in locally spatially homogeneous solutions of the Einstein equations coupled to various phenomenological matter models is investigated. It is shown that, under certain reasonable assumptions on the…

We analyse various conformal properties of the extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime. In particular, we obtain conformal representations of the neighbourhoods of spatial infinity, timelike infinity and the cylindrical end ---the so-called…

In the present work some generalizations of the Hawking singularity theorems in the context of $f(R)$ theories are presented. The assumptions are of these generalized theorems is that the matter fields satisfy the conditions…

Many studies have been carried out since T.Padmanabhan proposed that the cosmic acceleration can be understood from the perspective that spacetime dynamics is an emergent phenomenon. Motivated by such a new paradigm, we firstly study the de…

This paper deals with two aspects of relativistic cosmologies with closed (compact and boundless) spatial sections. These spacetimes are based on the theory of General Relativity, and admit a foliation into space sections S(t), which are…

De Sitter spacetime is known to have a cosmological horizon that enjoys thermodynamic-like properties similar to those of a black hole horizon. In this note we show that a universal argument can be given for the entropy of de Sitter…
