چکیده
We consider the critical behavior at the threshold of black hole formation for the five dimensional vacuum Einstein equations satisfying the cohomogeneity-two triaxial Bianchi IX ansatz. Exploiting a discrete symmetry present in this model we predict the existence of a codimension-two attractor. This prediction is confirmed numerically and the codimension-two attractor is identified as a discretely self-similar solution with two unstable modes.

The performance of optical clocks has strongly progressed in recent years, and accuracies and instabilities of 1 part in 10 18 are expected in the near future. The operation of optical clocks in space provides new scientific and technological opportunities. In particular, an earth-orbiting satellite containing an ensemble of optical clocks would allow a precision measurement of the gravitationa...

A new class of exact solutions of Einstein’s field equations with a perfect fluid source, variable gravitational coupling G and cosmological term Λ for FRW spacetime is obtained by considering variable deceleration parameter models for the universe. The nature of the variables G(t), Λ(t) and the energy density ρ(t) have been examined for three cases : (i) exponential (ii) polynomial and (iii) s...

In this paper we investigate the critical collapse of an ultrarelativistic perfect fluid with the equation of state P = (Γ − 1)ρ in the limit of Γ → 1. We calculate the limiting continuously self similar (CSS) solution and the limiting scaling exponent by exploiting self-similarity of the solution. We also solve the complete set of equations governing the gravitational collapse numerically for ...

Non-vacuum exact gravitational waves invariant for a non Abelian two-dimensional Lie algebra generated by two Killing fields whose commutator is of light type, are described. The polarization of these waves, already known from previous works, is related to their natural sources consisting of cosmic strings and γ-ray bursts. Non vacuum exact gravitational waves admitting only one Killing field o...
