The Riemann tensor is the cornerstone of general relativity, but as everyone knows it does not appear explicitly in Einstein's equation of gravitation. This suggests that the latter may not be the most general equation. We propose here for…

We investigate regularization of riemannian metrics by mollification. Assuming both-sided bounds on the Ricci tensor and a lower injectivity radius bound we obtain a uniform estimate on the change of the sectional curvature. Actually, our…

The space of all Riemannian metrics is infinite-dimensional. Nevertheless a great deal of usual Riemannian geometry can be carried over. The superspace of all Riemannian metrics shall be endowed with a class of Riemannian metrics; their…

The difference tensor R.C-C.R of a semi-Riemannian manifold (M,g), dim M > 3, formed by its Riemannian-Christoffel curvature tensor R and the Weyl conformal curvature tensor C, under some assumptions, can be expressed as a linear…

The averaging problem in general relativity concerns the difficulty of defining meaningful averages of tensor quantities and we consider various aspects of the problem. We first address cosmological backreaction which arises because the…

A class of anisotropic Einstein metrics is presented. These metrics are axial symmetric and contains an anisotropy parameter $\alpha$, which is identified as the amplitude of the proper acceleration of the origin, thus explaining the…

For Einstein four-manifolds with positive scalar curvature, we derive relations among various positivity conditions on the curvature tensor, some of which are of great importance in the study of the Ricci flow. These relations suggest…

The careful analysis of the duality properties of Riemann's curvature tensor points to possibility of extension of Einstein's General Relativity to the nonabelian Yang-Mills theory. The motion equations of the theory are Yang-Mills'…

A Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian (or conformal) structure is conformally Einstein if and only if there is a suitably generic parallel section of a certain vector bundle -- the so-called standard conformal tractor bundle. We show that this…

We continue the systematic study of left-invariant generalised Einstein metrics on Lie groups initiated in arXiv:2206.01157. Our approach is based on a new reformulation of the corresponding algebraic system. For a fixed Lie algebra…

This paper is concerned with the construction of special metrics on non-compact 4-manifolds which arise as resolutions of complex orbifold singularities. Our study is close in spirit to the construction of the hyperkaehler gravitational…

Smooth metric measure spaces have been studied from the two different perspectives of Bakry-\'Emery and Chang-Gursky-Yang, both of which are closely related to work of Perelman on the Ricci flow. These perspectives include a generalization…

In this paper we characterize the Einstein metrics in such broader classes of metrics as almost $\eta$-Ricci solitons and $\eta$-Ricci solitons on Kenmotsu manifolds, and generalize some results of other authors. First, we prove that a…

A generalized flag manifold is a homogeneous space of the form $G/K$, where $K$ is the centralizer of a torus in a compact connected semisimple Lie group $G$. We classify all flag manifolds with four isotropy summands and we study their…

A maximally reduced system of equations corresponding to the twisting type N Einstein metrics is given. When the cosmological constant $\lambda\to 0$ they reduce to the standard equations for the vacuum twisting type N's. All the metrics…

We introduce the discrete Einstein metrics as critical points of discrete energy on triangulated 3-manifolds, and study them by discrete curvature flow of second (fourth) order. We also study the convergence of the discrete curvature flow.…

Using the twistor correspondence, we give a classification of toric anti-self-dual Einstein metrics: each such metric is essentially determined by an odd holomorphic function. This explains how the Einstein metrics fit into the…

Riemannian geometry is a particular case of Hamiltonian mechanics: the orbits of the hamiltonian $H=\frac{1}{2}g^{ij}p_{i}p_{j}$ are the geodesics. Given a symplectic manifold (\Gamma,\omega), a hamiltonian $H:\Gamma\to\mathbb{R}$ and a…

It is an important problem in differential geometry to find non-naturally reductive homogeneous Einstein metrics on homogeneous manifolds. In this paper, we consider this problem for some coset spaces of compact simple Lie groups. A new…

We study the linear stability of Einstein metrics of Riemannian submersion type. First, we derive a general instability condition for such Einstein metrics and provide some applications. Then we study instability arising from Riemannian…
