Conformal symmetries in special and general relativity.The derivation and interpretation of conformal symmetries and asymptotic conformal symmetries in Minkowski space-time and in some space-times of general relativity.
… conformal Killing vectors in asymptotically-flat space-times of general relativity. This problem has been examined by two different methods; in Chapter 5 the asymptotic expansion technique originated by Newman and Unti [31] leads to a solution for asymptotically-flat spacetimes which admit an …

Does the Causal Structure of Space-Time Determine its Geometry
… it possible to construe the causal structure of space-time as basic and from it to reconstruct the topological and metrical structure of space-time? The problem is first examined within the context of Minkowski space-time (Chapter II) and then generalized to the class of space-time models …

Constraint preserving boundary conditions for the linearized Einstein equations
The successful construction of long time convergent finite difference schemes approximating highly gravitating systems in general relativity remains an elusive task. The presence of constraints and the introduction of artificial time-like boundaries contribute significantly to the difficulty of …
