Generating Black Strings in Higher Dimensions
Starting with a Zipoy-Voorhees line element we construct and study the three
parameter family of solutions describing a deformed black string with arbitrary
tension.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, accepted for publication in J. Mod. Phys. Lett.
Born-Infeld black hole in the isolated horizon framework
In this work we probe the Born-Infeld (BI) black hole in the isolated horizon
framework. It turns out that the BI black hole is consistent with the heuristic
model for colored black holes proposed by Ashtekar et al [(2001)
Class.Quant.Grav. v. 18, 919-940]. The model points to the unstability of the
BI black hole.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
A class of colliding waves in metric-affine gravity, nonmetricity and torsion shock waves
By using our recent generalization of the colliding waves concept to
metric-affine gravity theories, and also our generalization of the advanced and
retarded time coordinate representation in terms of Jacobi functions, we find a
general class of colliding wave solutions with fourth degree polynomials in
metric-affine gravity. We show that our general approach contains the standard
second degree polynomials colliding wave solutions as a particular case.Comment: 13 pages, latex, to appear in J.Math.Phy
Colliding Plane Waves in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton Fields
Within the metric structure endowed with two orthogonal space-like Killing
vectors a class of solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton field equations is
presented. Two explicitly given sub-classes of solutions bear an interpretation
as colliding plane waves in the low-energy limit of the heterotic string
theory.Comment: 14 pages, LaTex; To appear in Phys. Rev.
Equatorial symmetry/antisymmetry of stationary axisymmetric electrovac spacetimes
Two theorems are proved concerning how stationary axisymmetric electrovac
spacetimes that are equatorially symmetric or equatorially antisymmetric can be
characterized correctly in terms of the Ernst potentials \E and or in
terms of axis-data.Comment: 8 page
On interrelations between Sibgatullin's and Alekseev's approaches to the construction of exact solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations
The integral equations involved in Alekseev's "monodromy transform" technique
are shown to be simple combinations of Sibgatullin's integral equations and
normalizing conditions. An additional complex conjugation introduced by
Alekseev in the integrands makes his scheme mathematically inconsistent;
besides, in the electrovac case all Alekseev's principal value integrals
contain an intrinsic error which has never been identified before. We also
explain how operates a non-trivial double-step algorithm devised by Alekseev
for rewriting, by purely algebraic manipulations and in a different (more
complicated) parameter set, any particular specialization of the known
analytically extended N-soliton electrovac solution obtained in 1995 with the
aid of Sibgatullin's method.Comment: 7 pages, no figures, section II extende
Is there a prescribed parameter's space for the adiabatic geometric phase?
The Aharonov-Anandan and Berry phases are determined for the cyclic motions
of a non-relativistic charged spinless particle evolving in the superposition
of the fields produced by a Penning trap and a rotating magnetic field.
Discussion about the selection of the parameter's space and the relationship
between the Berry phase and the symmetry of the binding potential is given.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure
Cosmological simulations using a static scalar-tensor theory
We present CDM -body cosmological simulations in the framework of
a static general scalar-tensor theory of gravity. Due to the influence of the
non-minimally coupled scalar field, the gravitational potential is modified by
a Yukawa type term, yielding a new structure formation dynamics. We present
some preliminary results and, in particular, we compute the density and
velocity profiles of the most massive group.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, to appear in Journal of Physics: Conference

Exact Charged 2-Body Motion and the Static Balance Condition in Lineal Gravity
We find an exact solution to the charged 2-body problem in
dimensional lineal gravity which provides the first example of a relativistic
system that generalizes the Majumdar-Papapetrou condition for static balance.Comment: latex,7 pages, 2 figure
