Abstract
A generalized geometric method is developed for constructing exact solutions of gravitational field equations in Einstein theory and generalizations. First, we apply the formalism of nonholonomic frame deformations (formally considered for nonholonomic manifolds and Finsler spaces) when the gravitational field equations transform into systems of nonlinear partial differential equations which can be integrated in general form. The new classes of solutions are defined by generic off-diagonal metrics depending on integration functions on one, two and three (or three and four) variables if we consider four (or five) dimensional spacetimes. Second, we use a general scheme when one (two) parameter families of exact solutions are defined by any source-free solutions of Einstein's equations with one (two) Killing vector field(s). A successive iteration procedure results in new classes of solutions characterized by an infinite number of parameters for a non-Abelian group involving arbitrary functions on one variable. Five classes of exact off-diagonal solutions are constructed in vacuum Einstein and in string gravity describing solitonic pp-wave interactions. We explore possible physical consequences of such solutions derived from primary Schwarzschild or pp-wave metrics.

Exact Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations

TL;DR: A survey of the known solutions of Einstein's field equations for vacuum, Einstein-Maxwell, pure radiation and perfect fluid sources can be found in this paper, where the solutions are ordered by their symmetry group, their algebraic structure (Petrov type) or other invariant properties such as special subspaces or tensor fields and embedding properties.

String theory

TL;DR: The standard model of particle physics is valid to distances as small as 10−16 cm, and there is some evidence (such as that obtained by extrapolating the strengths of the four forces to determine the distance scale at which they might become indistinguishable) that the next level of structure will be detected only at a distance scale of roughly 10−32 cm as discussed by the authors.

Black holes in general relativity

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that a stationary black hole must have topologically spherical boundary and must be axisymmetric if it is rotating, and these results together with those of Israel and Carter go most of the way towards establishing the conjecture that any stationary blackhole is a Kerr solution.
