چکیده
The Ernst equation is formulated on an arbitrary Riemann surface. Analytically, the problem reduces to finding solutions of the ordinary Ernst equation which are periodic along the symmetry axis. The family of (punctured) Riemann surfaces admitting a non-trivial Ernst field constitutes a " partially discretized " subspace of the usual moduli space. The method allows us to construct new exact solutions of Einstein's equations in vacuo with non-trivial topology, such that different " universes " , each of which may have several black holes on its symmetry axis, are connected through necks bounded by cosmic strings. We show how the extra topological degrees of freedom may lead to an extension of the Geroch group and discuss possible applications to string theory.

It is explicitly shown that the class of algebro-geometrical (finite-gap) solutions of the Ernst equation constructed several years ago in [1] contains the solutions recently constructed by R.Meinel and G.Neugebauer [2] as a subset.

The standard tenet that Brans–Dicke theory reduces to general relativity in the ω → ∞ limit has been shown to be false when the trace of the matter energy– momentum tensor vanishes. The issue is clarified in a new approach and the asymptotic behaviour of the Brans–Dicke scalar is rigorously derived. To appear in Physics Letters A

Minimally coupled 4D scalar fields in Schwarzschild space-time are considered. Dimensional reduction to 2D leads to a well known anomaly induced effective action, which we consider here in a local form with the introduction of auxiliary fields. Boundary conditions are imposed on them in order to select the appropriate quantum states (Boulware, Unruh annd Israel-Hartle-Hawking). The stress tenso...

By now, many examples of naked singularities in classical general rela-tivity are known. It may however be that a physical principle over and above the general theory prevents the occurrence of such singularities in nature. Assuming the validity of the Weyl curvature hypothesis, we propose that naked singularities are forbidden by the second law of thermodynamics.
