Uniqueness (up to isometries) and existence of limits are studied in the context of Cheeger-Gromov convergence of spacetimes. To address the non-compactness of the vector isometry group in the semi-Riemannian setting, standard pointed…
A simple group theoretic derivation is given of the family of space-time metrics with isometry group SO(2,1) X SO(2) X R first described by Godel, of which the Godel stationary cosmological solution is the member with a perfect-fluid…
We establish the positive energy theorem and a Penrose-type inequality for 3-dimensional asymptotically hyperboloidal initial data sets with toroidal infinity, weakly trapped boundary, and satisfying the dominant energy condition. In the…
By suitably re-scaling the conformal Einstein's equations we are able to apply recent results in the theory of PDE, and prove that they possess slow solutions in a future neighborhood of an initial surface reaching ${\cal I}^+$. The…
The initial singularity problem in standard general relativity is treated on the light of a viewpoint asserting that this formulation of Einstein's theory and its conformal formulations are physically equivalent. We show that flat…
We showed that the principle of nongravitating vacuum energy, when formulated in the first order formalism, solves the cosmological constant problem. The most appealing formulation of the theory displays a local symmetry associated with the…
The conformal crossing equation puts very stringent constraints on the conformal data. We formulate it in way that makes the conformal symmetry more transparent. This allows for generalization of the crossing equation to arbitrary Lie group…
This work concerns scalar field theories with topologically nontrivial vacuum manifold in rotationally symmetric backgrounds of arbitrary dimension. Lagrangians with canonical and generalized kinetic terms are considered, and a Bogomol'nyi…
This article begins with a brief introduction to numerical relativity aimed at readers who have a background in applied mathematics but not necessarily in general relativity. I then introduce and summarise my work on the problem of treating…
A vacuum type D initial data set is a vacuum initial data set of the Einstein field equations whose data development contains a region where the space-time is of Petrov type D. In this paper we give a {\em systematic} characterisation of a…
It is highly plausible that the region of space-time far from an isolated gravitating body is, in some sense, asymptotically Minkowskian. However theoretical studies of the full nonlinear theory, initiated by Bondi et al. (1962), Sachs…
We consider a geometrical system of equations for a three dimensional Riemannian manifold. This system of equations has been constructed as to include several physically interesting systems of equations, such as the stationary Einstein…
We study a higher order conformally coupled scalar tensor theory endowed with a covariant geometric constraint relating the scalar curvature with the Gauss-Bonnet scalar. It is a particular Horndeski theory including a canonical kinetic…
The most general set of static and spherically symmetric solutions for conformal Killing gravity coupled to Maxwell fields is presented in closed form. These solutions, depending on six parameters, include non-asymptotically flat black…
A generalized symmetry of a system of differential equations is an infinitesimal transformation depending locally upon the fields and their derivatives which carries solutions to solutions. We classify all generalized symmetries of the…
We find all homogeneous quadratic systems of ODEs with two dependent variables that have polynomial first integrals and satisfy the Kowalevski-Lyapunov test. Such systems have infinitely many polynomial infinitesimal symmetries. We describe…
A new solution with constant torsion is derived using the field equations of f(T). Asymptotic forms of energy density, radial and transversal pressures are shown to meet the standard energy conditions, i.e., weak and null energy conditions…
All spherically symmetric Riemannian metrics of constant scalar curvature in any dimension can be written down in a simple form using areal coordinates. All spherical metrics are conformally flat, so we search for the conformally flat…
A monodromy transform approach, presented in this communication, provides a general base for solution of space-time symmetry reductions of Einstein equations in all known integrable cases, which include vacuum, electrovacuum, massless Weyl…
It is shown for a simple ODE that it has many symmetry groups beyond its usual Lie group symmetries, when its generalized solutions are considered within the nowhere dense differential algebra of generalized functions.
