We present a method for generating exact solutions of Einstein equations in vacuum using harmonic maps, when the spacetime possesses two commutating Killing vectors. This method consists in writing the axisymmetric stationry Einstein…
In this habilitation thesis we provide an introduction to gravitational models in two spacetime dimensions. Focus is put on exactly solvable models. We begin by introducing and motivating different possible gravitational actions, including…
Self-duality equations for Yang-Mills fields in d-dimensional Euclidean spaces consist of linear algebraic relations amongst the components of the curvature tensor which imply the Yang-Mills equations. For the extension to superspace gauge…
A system of gravity coupled to a 2-form gauge field, a dilaton and Yang-Mills fields in $2n$ dimensions arises from the (2,1) sigma model or string. The field equations imply that the curvature with torsion and Yang-Mills field strength are…
The $N=2$ supersymmetric {\it self-dual} Yang-Mills theory and the $N=4$ and $N=2$ {\it self-dual} supergravities in $2+2$ space-time dimensions are formulated for the first time. These formulations utilize solutions of the Bianchi…
In this work half-flat metrics are obtained from Hitchin's equations. The SU$(\infty)$ Hitchin's equations are obtained and as a consequence of them, the Husain-Park equation is found. Considering that the gauge group is SU$(2)$, some…
We derive a generalization of the flat space Yang's and Newman's equations for self-dual Yang-Mills fields to (locally) conformally Kahler Riemannian 4-manifolds. The results also apply to Einstein metrics (whose full curvature is not…
The coupled Einstein-Yang-Mills equations on a time dependent axially symmetric spacetime are investigated, without a priori any conditions on the gauge field. There is numerical evidence for the existence of a regular solution with the…
The reduction by symmetry of the linear system of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations in four-dimensions under representatives of the conjugacy classes of subgroups of the connected part to the identity of the corresponding Euclidean group…
We derive Bogomolny equations for an Einstein-Yang-Mills-dilaton-$\sigma$ model (EYMD-$\sigma$) on a static spacetime, showing that the Einstein equations are satisfied if and only if the associated (conformally scaled) three-metric is…
The integrability in quadratures of normality equation for spatially homogeneous dynamical systems in two-dimensional space is shown. The classical symmetries of this equation are calculated and the corresponding self-similar solutions are…
Several exact, cylindrically symmetric solutions to Einstein's vacuum equations are given. These solutions were found using the connection between Yang-Mills theory and general relativity. Taking known solutions of the Yang-Mills equations…
We study the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations in a 6-dimensional space-time. We make a self-consistent static, spherically symmetric ansatz for the gauge fields and the metric. The metric of the manifold associated with the two extra…
We show that the Einstein equations in the vacuum are invariant under an $SO(2)$ duality symmetry which rotates the curvature 2-form into its tangent space Hodge dual. Akin to electric-magnetic duality in gauge theory, the duality operation…
Self-duality is a very important concept in the study and applications of topological solitons in many areas of Physics. The rich mathematical structures underlying it lead, in many cases, to the development of exact and non-perturbative…
In a previous work [I. Rodnianski and Y. Shlapentokh-Rothman, Naked Singularities for the Einstein Vacuum Equations: The Exterior Solution, arXiv:1912.08478] we constructed solutions to the Einstein vacuum equations in 3+1 dimensions which…
Infinite-dimensional algebra of all infinitesimal transformations of solutions of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations is described. It contains as subalgebras the infinite-dimensional algebras of hidden symmetries related to gauge and…
The equations governing anti-self-dual and Einstein-Weyl conformal geometries can be regarded as `master dispersionless systems' in four and three dimensions respectively. Their integrability by twistor methods has been established by…
We consider a general non-linear sigma model coupled to Einstein gravity and show that in spherical symmetry and for a simple realization of self-similarity, the spacetime can be completely determined. We also examine some more specific…
We couple a recently-established N=1 globally supersymmetric self-dual Yang-Mills multiplet in three dimensions to supergravity. This becomes possible due to our previous result on globally supersymmetric formulation based on a compensator…
