On the Ernst electro-vacuum equations and ergosurfaces
Acta Phys. Pol., B , vol. 39, pp. 59-75 (2008).
[abstract] [preprint] [journal]

Abstract:
The question of smoothness at the ergosurface of the space-time metric constructed out of solutions (E,phi) of the Ernst electro-vacuum equations is considered. We prove smoothness of those ergosurfaces at which Re(E) provides the dominant contribution to f=-(Re(E)+|phi|^2) at the zero-level-set of f. Some partial results are obtained in the remaining cases: in particular we give examples of leading-order solutions with singular isolated ``ergocircles".

Fractal Threshold Behavior in Vacuum Gravitational Collapse
Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 100, p. 101102 (2008).
[abstract] [preprint] [journal] [download]

Abstract:
We present the numerical evidence for fractal threshold behavior in the five dimensional vacuum Einstein equations satisfying the cohomogeneity-two triaxial Bianchi type-IX ansatz. In other words, we show that a flip of the wings of a butterfly may influence the process of the black hole formation.

40. Sebastian J. Szybka
Chaos, Gravity and Wave Maps with Target SU(2)
Proceedings of the MG11 Meeting on General Relativity (2008).
[abstract] [journal]

Abstract:
We present the numerical evidence for chaotic solutions and fractal threshold behavior in the Einstein equations coupled to a wave map (with target SU(2)). This phenomenon is explained in terms of heteroclinic intersections.

41. Artur Janda
On Lie Symmetries of Certain Spherically Symmetric Systems in General Relativity
Acta Phys. Pol., B , vol. 38, pp. 3961-3969 (2007).
[abstract] [journal] [http://th-www.if.uj.edu.pl/acta/vol38/pdf/v38p3961.pdf]

Abstract:
Certain aspects of Lie-point symmetries in spherically symmetric systems of gravitational physics. Lie symmetries are helpful in solving differential equations. General concepts and a few examples are given: perfect fluid in shearfree motion, the conformal Weyl theory and a higher derivative gravity which is equivalent to General Relativity coupled to certain nonlinear spin-2 field theory.
