Potential Carroll Structures and Special Carrollian Manifolds
Samuel Blitz, Gabriel Herczeg, David McNutt
It is well-known that unlike space-like and time-like hypersurfaces, null hypersurfaces in Lorentzian manifolds do not naturally inherit an affine connection from the spacetime in…
Where are linearized gauge invariants encoded for plane waves in linearized gravity?
R. Radhakrishnan, D. McNutt, D. Mirfendereski +3
The Newman--Penrose (NP) formalism is traditionally used to analyze the polarization content of gravitational waves, while the gauge-invariant Bardeen formalism provides a compleme…
Unique Carrollian manifolds emerging from Einstein spacetimes
S. Blitz, D. McNutt, P. Nurowski
We explicitly determine all shear-free null hypersurfaces embedded in an Einstein spacetime, including vacuum asymptotically flat spacetimes. We characterize these hypersurfaces as…
IDEAL characterization of vacuum pp-waves
Igor Khavkine, David McNutt, Lode Wylleman
An IDEAL characterization of a particular spacetime metric, , consists of a set of tensorial equations arising from expressions constructed from the metric, , it…
Detecting horizons of symmetric black holes using relative differential invariants
David McNutt, Eivind Schneider
Let be a nontrivial finite-dimensional Lie algebra of vector fields on a manifold M, and consider the family of Lorentzian metrics on M whose Killing algebra contain…
Taub-NUT Instanton as the Self-dual Analog of Kerr
Jash Desai, Gabriel Herczeg, David McNutt +1
It was recently conjectured that a certain vacuum Kerr-Schild spacetime, which may be regarded as a self-dual analog of the Kerr metric, is equivalent to the self-dual Taub-NUT ins…
Horizons that Gyre and Gimble: A Differential Characterization of Null Hypersurfaces
Samuel Blitz, David McNutt
Motivated by the thermodynamics of black hole solutions conformal to stationary solutions, we study the geometric invariant theory of null hypersurfaces. It is well-known that a nu…
-Preserving Diffeomorphisms of Lorentzian Manifolds
D. D. McNutt, M. T. Aadne
We examine the existence of one parameter groups of diffeomorphisms whose infinitesimal generators annihilate all scalar polynomial curvature invariants through the application of…
