The Dirac and Rarita-Schwinger equations on scalar flat metrics of Taub-NUT type

We construct a scalar flat metric of Taub-NUT type whose total mass can be negative. The standard Taub-NUT metric and its negative NUT charge counterpart serve as particular examples, for which the complex 2-dimensional space of parallel spinors gives rise to $L^2$ harmonic spinors and Rarita-Schwinger fields. For the scalar flat Taub-NUT type metric, we study the Dirac and Rarita-Schwinger equations by separating them into angular and radial equations, and obtain explicit solutions in certain special cases.

Geodesics on metrics of self-dual Taub-Nut type

Geodesic equations are solved when at least two of $τ$, $θ$, $φ$ are constant on metrics of self-dual Taub-NUT type. They can also be solved also on self-dual Taub-NUT metrics if only $r$, $θ$ or $φ$ is constant. However, the explicit solution of the geodesic equations is not available yet if only $τ$ is constant.

Spherically symmetric Einstein-scalar-field equations for wave-like decaying null infinity

We show that the spherically symmetric Einstein-scalar-field equations for wave-like decaying initial data at null infinity have unique local solutions and unique global solutions for small initial data. We also generalize Christodoulou's global generalized solutions to the wave-like decaying initial data. We emphasize that this decaying condition is sharp.
