    Curvature of multiply warped products
    (Elsevier, 2005) Dobarro, F; Ünal, B
    In this paper, we study Ricci-flat and Einstein-Lorentzian multiply warped products. We also consider the case of having constant scalar curvatures for this class of warped products. Finally, after we introduce a new class of space-times called as generalized Kasner space-times, we apply our results to this kind of space-times as well as other relativistic space-times, i.e., Reissner-Nordstrom, Kasner space-times, Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli and de Sitter black hole solutions.

    Doubly Warped Products
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2001) Ünal, B
    In this paper we study geodesic completeness of Riemannian doubly warped products and Lorentzian doubly warped products. We give necessary conditions for generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes with doubly warped product spacial parts to be globally hyperbolic. We also state some results about killing and conformal vector fields of doubly warped products.

    Geodesic Structure of Standard Static Space-Times
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2003) Allison, DE; Ünal, B
    The geodesic structure of standard static space-times is studied and conditions are found which imply nonreturning and pseudoconvex geodesic systems. As a consequence, it is shown that if the Riemannian factor manifold F satisfies the nonreturning property and has a pseudoconvex geodesic system and if the warping function f : F --> (0, infinity) is bounded above then the standard static space-time (f)(a, b) x F is geodesically connected.
