A classification of near-horizon geometries of extremal vacuum black holes
We consider the near-horizon geometries of extremal, rotating black hole solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations, including a negative cosmological constant, in four and five dimensions. We assume ...

Geometry of universal magnification invariants
Recent work in gravitational lensing and catastrophe theory has shown that the sum of the signed magnifications of images near folds, cusps, and also higher catastrophes is zero. Here, it is discussed...

A formalism for analyzing the complete set of field equations describing macroscopic gravity is presented. Using this formalism, a cosmological solution to the macroscopic gravity equations is determined. It is found that if a particular segment of the connection correlation tensor is zero and if the macroscopic geometry is described by a flat Robertson–Walker metric, then the effective correction to the averaged Einstein field equations of general relativity i.e., the backreaction, is equivalent to a positive spatial curvature term. This investigation completes the analysis of Coley et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 151102 (2005)], and the formalism developed provides a possible basis for future studies. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
