We apply the Weyl method, as sanctioned by Palais' symmetric criticality theorems, to obtain those-highly symmetric-geometries amenable to explicit solution, in generic gravitational models and dimension. The technique consists of judiciously violating the rules of variational principles by inserting highly symmetric, and seemingly gauge fixed, metrics into the action, then varying it directly to arrive at a small number of transparent, indexless, field equations. Illustrations include spherically and axially symmetric solutions in a wide range of models beyond D = 4 Einstein theory; already at D = 4, novel results emerge such as exclusion of Schwarzschild solutions in cubic curvature models and restrictions on 'independent' integration parameters in quadratic ones. Another application of Weyl's method is an easy derivation of Birkhoff's theorem in systems with only tensor modes. Other uses are also suggested.

Spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein plus non-polynomial gravities
Deser, S.; Sarıoğlu, Bahtiyar Özgür; Tekin, Bayram (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-01-01)
We obtain the static spherically symmetric solutions of a class of gravitational models whose additions to the General Relativity (GR) action forbid Ricci-flat, in particular, Schwarzschild geometries. These theories are selected to maintain the (first) derivative order of the Einstein equations in Schwarzschild gauge. Generically, the solutions exhibit both horizons and a singularity at the origin, except for one model that forbids spherical symmetry altogether. Extensions to arbitrary dimension with a cos...
Shortcuts to spherically symmetric solutions: a cautionary note
Deser, S; Franklin, J; Tekin, Bayram (IOP Publishing, 2004-11-21)
Spherically symmetric solutions of generic gravitational models are optimally, and legitimately, obtained by expressing the action in terms of the surviving metric components. This shortcut is not to be overdone; however, a one-function ansatz invalidates it, as illustrated by the incorrect solutions of Wohlfarth (2004 Class. Quantum Grav. 21 1927).
Radiative decays of the heavy tensor mesons in light cone QCD sum rules
Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Savcı, Mustafa (American Physical Society (APS), 2019-01-11)
The transition form factors of the radiative decays of the heavy tensor mesons to heavy pseudoscalar and heavy vector mesons are calculated in the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rules method at the point Q(2) = 0. Using the obtained values of the transition form factors at the point Q(2) = 0, the corresponding decay widths are estimated. The results show that the radiative decays of the heavy-light tensor mesons could potentially be measured in the future planned experiments at LHCb.
Multipole moments of heavy vector and axial-vector mesons in QCD
Aliev, T. M.; Bilmis, S.; Savcı, Mustafa (American Physical Society (APS), 2020-03-09)
The magnetic and quadrupole moments of the vector and axial-vector mesons containing a heavy quark are estimated within the light-cone sum rules method. Our predictions on magnetic moments for the vector mesons are compared with the results obtained by other approaches.
Some splitting theorems for stably causal spacetime
Garcia-Rio, E; Kupeli, DN (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1998-01-01)
We prove a splitting theorem for stably causal spacetimes and another splitting theorem for finitely compact spacetimes admitting a proper time synchronizable reference frame.
