A large class of vacuum space-times is constructed in dimension 4+1 from hyperboloidal initial data sets which are not small perturbations of empty space data. These space-times are future geodesically complete, smooth up to their future null infinity, and extend as vacuum space-times through their Cauchy horizon. Dime…
We investigate refocusing and strong refocusing of light rays in a space-time. A strongly refocusing space-time is refocusing. The converse is unknown. We construct examples of space-times which are refocusing, but not strongly so, at a particular point. These space-times are strongly refocusing at other points. The ge…
A perfect-fluid space-time of dimension n>3 with 1) irrotational velocity vector field, 2) null divergence of the Weyl tensor, is a generalised Robertson-Walker space-time with Einstein fiber. Condition 1) is verified whenever pressure and energy density are related by an equation of state. The contraction of the Weyl …
In this paper, based on an intrinsic definition of asymptotically AdS space-times, we show that the standard anti-de Sitter space-time is the unique strictly stationary asymptotically AdS solution to the vacuum Einstein equations with negative cosmological constant in dimension less than 7. Instead of using the positiv…
We show that in dimension n>3 the class of simple conformally recurrent space-times coincides with the class of conformally recurrent pp-waves.
We give new necessary and sufficient conditions on the Weyl tensor for generalized Robertson-Walker (GRW) space-times to be perfect-fluid space-times. For GRW space-times, we determine the form of the Ricci tensor in all the O(n)-invariant subspaces provided by Gray's decomposition of the gradient of the Ricci tensor. …
Study on static perfect fluid space-time geometry and boundary estimates.
We prove theorems about the Ricci and the Weyl tensors on generalized Robertson-Walker space-times of dimension . In particular, we show that the concircular vector introduced by Chen decomposes the Ricci tensor as a perfect fluid term plus a term linear in the contracted Weyl tensor. The Weyl tensor is harmoni…
The notion of maximal extension of a globally hyperbolic space-time arises from the notion of maximal solutions of the Cauchy problem associated to the Einstein's equations of general relativity. In 1969 Choquet-Bruhat and Geroch proved that if the Cauchy problem has a local solution, this solution has a unique maximal…
The paper explores Kaluza-Klein theories without assuming a fibration structure.
Stability of Minkowski space-time in higher dimensions proven for arbitrary small perturbations.
The correspondence of stationary, axisymmetric, asymptotically flat space-times and bundles over a reduced twistor space has been established in four dimensions. The main impediment for an application of this correspondence to examples in higher dimensions is the lack of a higher-dimensional equivalent of the Ernst pot…
Method generates i.i.d. samples from GT data using space-time mixing.
In a space-time, a conformal structure is defined by the distribution of light-cones. Geodesics are traced by freely falling particles, and the collection of all unparameterized geodesics determines the projective structure of the space-time. The article contains a formulation of the necessary and sufficient conditions…
We propose in this paper a new approach to the Kaluza-Klein idea of a five dimensional space-time unifying gravitation and electromagnetism, and extension to higher-dimensional space-time. By considering a natural geometric definition of a matter fluid and abandoning the usual requirement of a Ricci-flat five dimension…
We derive the Space-Time Positive Mass theorem in arbitrary dimensions, without topological constraints. The main new tools are skin structures and surgeries on minimal and marginally outer trapped hypersurfaces.
The space-time monopole equation is obtained from a dimension reduction of the anti-self dual Yang-Mills equation on . A family of Ward equations is obtained by gauge fixing from the monopole equation. In this paper, we give an introduction and a survey of the space-time monopole equation. Included are altern…
Minkowski space is a physically important space-time for which the finding an adequate holographic description is an urgent problem. In this paper we develop further the proposal made in hep-th/0303006 for the description as a duality between Minkowski space-time and a Conformal Field Theory defined on the boundary of …
We show that a set of conformally invariant equations derived from the Fefferman-Graham tensor can be used to construct global solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations, in all even dimensions. This gives, in particular, a new, simple proof of Friedrich's result on the future hyperboloidal stability of Minkowski space…
We show that the recent work of Lee [23] implies existence of a large class of new singularity-free strictly static Lorentzian vacuum solutions of the Einstein equations with a negative cosmological constant. This holds in all space-time dimensions greater than or equal to four, and leads both to strictly static soluti…
Recently, it is proven that generalized Robertson-Walker space-times in all orthogonal subspaces of Gray's decomposition but one(unrestricted) are perfect fluid space-times. GRW space-times in the unrestricted subspace are identified by having constant scalar curvature. Generalized quasi-Einstein GRW space-times have a…
The wavelet Maximum Entropy on the Mean (wMEM) approach to the MEG inverse problem is revisited and extended to infer brain activity from full space-time data. The resulting dimensionality increase is tackled using a collection of techniques , that includes time and space dimension reduction (using respectively wavelet…
The paper examines isotropic cosmological space-times with changing sectional curvature.
This paper aims to study the -curvature tensor on relativistic space-times. The energy-momentum tensor T of a space-time is semi-symmetric given that the -curvature tensor is semi-symmetric whereas energy-momentum tensor T of a space-time having a divergence free -curvature tensor is of Codazzi type. A space-t…
New distances defined between space-times, proving some definite.
The natural partial ordering of the orbit types of the action of the group of local gauge transformations on the space of connections in space-time dimension d<=4 is investigated. For that purpose, a description of orbit types in terms of cohomology elements of space-time, derived earlier, is used. It is shown that, on…
The change in Holographic entanglement entropy (HEE) for small fluctuations about pure anti De Sitter (AdS) is obtained by a perturbative expansion of the area functional in terms of the change in the bulk metric and the embedded extremal surface. However, it is known that change in the embedding appears in second orde…
The target space geometry of abelian vector multiplets in theories in four and five space-time dimensions is called special geometry. It can be elegantly formulated in terms of Hessian geometry. In this review, we introduce Hessian geometry, focussing on aspects that are relevant for the special geometrie…
We observe that an analogue of the Positive Mass Theorem in the time-symmetric case for three-space-time-dimensional general relativity follows trivially from the Gauss-Bonnet theorem. In this case we also have that the spatial slice is diffeomorphic to $\Real^2$.
A Lorentzian manifold is defined here as a smooth pseudo-Riemannian manifold with a metric tensor of signature ((2n +1, 1)). A Robinson manifold is a Lorentzian manifold (M) of dimension (\geqslant 4) with a subbundle (N) of the complexification of (TM) such that the fibers of (N\to M) are maximal totally null (isotrop…
We consider Killing vector fields on standard static space-times and obtain equations for a vector field on a standard static space-time to be Killing. We also provide a characterization of Killing vector fields on standard static space-times with compact Riemannian parts.
Canonical structure of the space-time symmetric analogue of the Hamiltonian formalism in field theory based on the De Donder-Weyl (DW) theory is studied. In space-time dimensions the set of polymomenta is associated to the space-time derivatives of field variables. The polysymplectic -form generalizes th…

We investigate a generalization of the so-called metric splitting of globally hyperbolic space-times to non-smooth Lorentzian manifolds and show the existence of this metric splitting for a class of wave-type space-times. Our approach is based on smooth approximations of non-smooth space-times by families (or sequences…

New measure defined for Brakke flow, linking classical and new definitions.
Essentially, some conditions for the Riemannian factor and the warping function of a standard static space-time are obtained in order to guarantee that no nontrivial warping function on the Riemannian factor can make the standard static space-time Einstein.
In the Minkowski space-time, a world hyper-sheet is a timelike hypersurface consisting of a one-parameter family of spacelike submanifolds. Recently, Bousso and Randall introduced the notion of caustics of world hyper-sheets in order to define the notion of holographic domains in space-time. Here, we give a mathematica…

In this paper, the radiation field is defined for solutions to Einstein vacuum equations which are close to Minkowski space-time with spacial dimension . The regularity properties and asymptotic behavior of those Einstein vacuum solutions are established at the same time. In particular, the map from Cauchy int…
In this paper, we study Ricci-flat and Einstein Lorentzian multiply warped products. We also consider the case of having constant scalar curvatures for this class of warped products. Finally, after we introduce a new class of spacetimes called as generalized Kasner space-times, we apply our results to this kind of spac…

In this paper, we investigate the null (light-like) sectional curvatures of Lorentzian warped product manifolds. We derive the formulas for the null sectional curvature of many well-known warped product space-time models such as multiply generalized Robertson-Walker space-times, generalized Kasner spacetimes and standa…

We also show that monodromy of Margulis Space Times are "Anosov representations in non semi-simple Lie …
Stationary and axially symmetric space-times play an important role in astrophysics, particularly in the theory of neutron stars and black holes. The static vacuum sub-class of these space-times is known as Weyl's class, and contains the Schwarzschild space-time as its most prominent example. This paper is going to stu…
