The complete system of field equations for a polarized medium with internal spin in interaction with an arbitrary set of fields is derived from a four-dimensional action integral. The general results are then specialized to the interaction with an Einstein-Maxwell field. The application to ideal spi

Starting from the hodograph equation as a limiting condition in functional form, where the velocity vector is a continuous function of the position vector with at least continuous first derivative, the theory of one to another dependent functions was applied and completed. No hypotheses have been ma
Assuming the four-dimensional space-time to be a general warped product of two surfaces we reduce the four-dimensional Einstein equations to a two-dimensional problem which can be solved. All global vacuum solutions are explicitly constructed and analysed. The classification of the solutions include
A number of exact solutions of Einstein's equations are obtained, which describe the collision and subsequent interaction of two plane parallel waves. Gravitational waves, null electromagnetic fields, and neutrino fields are all considered with collisions between any two types. It is shown that two
