What is the topology of a Schwarzschild black hole?
Edmundo M. Monte
We investigate the topology of Schwarzschild's black hole through the immersion of this space-time in spaces of higher dimension. Through the immersions of Kasner and Fronsdal we c…
Topological Properties from Einstein's Equations?
Edmundo M. Monte
In this work we propose a new procedure for to extract global information of a space-time. We considered a space-time immersed in a higher dimensional space and we formulate the eq…
Topological and Geometrical Properties of Brane-Worlds
Edmundo M. Monte
We study the geometrical and topological properties of the bulk (environment space) when we modify the geometry or topology of a brane-world. Through the characterization of a sphe…
The Deformable Universe
M. D. Maia, A. J. S. Capistrano, J. S. Alcaniz +1
The concept of smooth deformations of a Riemannian manifolds, recently evidenced by the solution of the Poincaré conjecture, is applied to Einstein's gravitational theory and in pa…
Embedding Versus Immersion in General Relativity
Edmundo M. Monte
We briefly discuss the concepts of immersion and embedding of space-times in higher-dimensional spaces. We revisit the classical work by Kasner in which he constructs a model of im…
On the Nature of the Cosmological Constant Problem
M. D. Maia, A. J. S. Capistrano, E. M. Monte
General relativity postulates the Minkowski space-time to be the standard flat geometry against which we compare all curved space-times and the gravitational ground state where par…
