We present the exact solution to the linearized Maxwell equations in space-time slightly curved by a gravitational wave. We show that in general, even dealing with a first-order theory in the strength of the gravitational field, the solution can not be written as the sum of the flat space-time one and a weak perturbation due to the external field. Such an impossibility arises when either the frequency of the gravitational wave is too low or too high with respect to the one of the electromagnetic field. We also provide an application of the solution to the case of an electromagnetic field bounced between two parallel conducting planes.

We find a new homogeneous solution to the Einstein-Maxwell equations with a cosmological term. The spacetime manifold is $R times S^3$. The spacetime metric admits a simply transitive isometry group $G = R times SU(2)$ of isometries and is of Petrov type I. The spacetime is geodesically complete and globally hyperbolic. The electromagnetic field is non-null and non-inheriting: it is only invariant with respect to the $SU(2)$ subgroup and is time-dependent in a stationary reference frame.
We determine the exact solution of the Einstein field equations for the case of a spherically symmetric shell of liquid matter, characterized by an energy density which is constant with the Schwarzschild radial coordinate $r$ between two values $r_{1 }$ and $r_{2}$. The solution is given in three regions, one being the well-known analytical Schwarzschild solution in the outer vacuum region, one being determined analytically in the inner vacuum region, and one being determined mostly analytically but partially numerically, within the matter region. The solutions for the temporal coefficient of the metric and for the pressure within this region are given in terms of a non-elementary but fairly straightforward real integral. We show that in this solution there is a singularity at the origin, and give the parameters of that singularity in terms of the geometrical and physical parameters of the shell. This does not correspond to an infinite concentration of matter, but in fact to zero energy density at the center. It does, however, imply that the spacetime within the spherical cavity is not flat, so that there is a non-trivial gravitational field there, in contrast with Newtonian gravitation. This gravitational field has the effect of stabilizing the geometrical configuration of the matter, since any particle of the matter that wanders out into the vacuum regions tends to be brought back to the bulk of the matter by the gravitational field.
We present several new exact solutions in five and higher dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory by embedding the Nutku instanton. The metric functions for the five-dimensional solutions depend only on a radial coordinate and on two spatial coordinates for the six and higher dimensional solutions. The six and higher dimensional metric functions are convoluted-like integrals of two special functions. We find that the solutions are regular almost everywhere and some spatial sections of the solution describe wormhole handles. We also find a class of exact and nonstationary convoluted-like solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell theory with a cosmological constant.
The Einstein-Maxwell (E-M) equations in a curved spacetime that admits at least one Killing vector are derived, from a Lagrangian density adapted to symmetries. In this context, an auxiliary space of potentials is introduced, in which, the set of pot entials associated to an original (seed) solution of the E-M equations are transformed to a new set, either by continuous transformations or by discrete transformations. In this article, continuous transformations are considered. Accordingly, originating from the so-called $gamma_A$-metric, other exact solutions to the E-M equations are recovered and 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 t he 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 [Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 95, 151102, (2005)] and the formalism developed provides a possible basis for future studies.
