I have also worked with, and still pay attention to, the more formal and abstract properties of space-time theories of gravitation, mainly general relativity; more specifically, I have dealt with: (a) covariant formulation of physical laws with the use of natural "time" and "spatial" quantities relative to any frame of reference in an arbitrary space-time, (b) relativistic thermodynamics (causal second-order models, phenomenological particle production), and (c) geometrical properties of exact solutions of Einstein's field equations (geodesics, causality, symmetries, general physical interpretation).
