We discuss the Kretschmann, Chern-Pontryagin and Euler invariants among the second order scalar invariants of the Riemann tensor in any spacetime in the Newman-Penrose formalism and in the framework of gravitoelectromagnetism, using the Kerr-Newman geometry as an example. An analogy with electromagnetic invariants leads to the definition of regions of gravitoelectric or gravitomagnetic dominance.

  1. Exact vacuum solution with Hopf structure in general relativity

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A regular, two-parameter Petrov type D vacuum spacetime is constructed from a Hopf-fibration-derived null vector in Kerr-Schild form.

  2. Black Hole Black Boxes: Numerical Black Hole Metrics via AInstein Neural Networks

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Unsupervised Lorentzian PINNs with embedded S^{2} topology recover maximally extended Schwarzschild and yield candidate Petrov type-I vacuum black-hole metrics with genuinely trapped interiors.

  3. Spinfoams, $\gamma$-duality and parity violation in primordial gravitational waves

    gr-qc 2024-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    γ-duality in the EPRL spinfoam model determines the relation between parity-even and parity-odd terms in an effective gravity theory, allowing the Barbero-Immirzi parameter to be measured from inflationary tensor observables.

  4. General gravitational properties of neutron stars: curvature invariants, binding energy, and trace anomaly

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Roughly half of realistic neutron-star equations of state produce stars with negative Ricci scalar inside, and an improved analytic fit links gravitational mass M to baryonic mass Mb with maximum 3 percent variance.
