When 4-dimensional general relativity is extended by a 3-dimensional grav-itational Chern-Simons term an apparent violation of diffeormorphism invari-ance is extinguished by the dynamical equations of motion for the modified theory. The physical predictions of this recently proposed model show little evidence of symmetry breaking, but require the vanishing of the Pontryagin density.

A study is made of the possible holonomy group types of a space-time for which the energy-momentum tensor corresponds to a null or non-null electromagnetic field, a perfect fluid or a massive scalar field. The case of an Einstein space is also included. The techniques developed are also applied to vacuum and conformally flat space-times and contrasted with already known results in these two cas...

We describe the search for gravitational waves from inspiraling neutron star binary systems, using data from the first Scientific Run of the LIGO Science Collaboration.

The semilinear wave equation on the (outer) Schwarzschild manifold is studied. We prove local decay estimates for general (non-radial) data, deriving a-priori Morawetz type inequalities.
