This paper deals with the problem of describing the vector spaces of divergence-free, natural tensors on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold that are second-order; i.e., that are defined using only second derivatives of the metric. The main result…

It is known that the long line supports $2^{\aleph_1}$ many non-diffeomorphic differential structures. We show that the long plane supports a similar number of exotic differential structures, ie structures which are not merely diffeomorphic…

We have observed nonlinear transduction of the thermomechanical motion of a nanomechanical resonator when detected as laser transmission through a sideband unresolved optomechanical cavity. Nonlinear detection mechanisms are of considerable…

We examine inverse problems for the variable-coefficient nonlocal parabolic operator $(\partial_t - \Delta_g)^s$, where $0 < s < 1$. This article makes two primary contributions. First, we introduce a novel entanglement principle for these…

We provide a new result on the existence of extremal solutions for second-order Dirichlet problems with deviation argument. As a novelty in this work, the nonlinearity need not be continuous or monotone. In order to obtain this new result,…

Second-order symmetric Lorentzian spaces, that is to say, Lorentzian manifolds with vanishing second derivative of the curvature tensor R, are characterized by several geometric properties, and explicitly presented. Locally, they are a…

We investigate when the tangent bundle of a projective manifold has a non-trivial first order (or positive-dimensional) deformation. This leads to a new conjectural characterization of the complex projective space.

"Strange" correlators provide a tool to detect topological phases arising in many-body models by computing the matrix elements of suitably defined two-point correlations between the states under investigation and trivial reference states.…

Lagrange scalar densities which are concomitants of two scalar fields, a pseudo-Riemannian metric tensor, and their derivatives of arbitrary differential order are investigated in a space of four-dimensions. I construct the most general…

The paper glosses different forms of an introducing of higher order tangent-like functors, especially functors derived from higher order nonholonomic tangent functors. A special attention is devoted to higher order osculating bundles: their…

We explicitly determine the group of isomorphism classes of equivariant line bundles on the non-archimedean Drinfeld upper half plane for $\mathrm{GL}_2(F)$, for its subgroups of matrices whose determinant has even (respectively trivial)…

Boundary value problems for second-order elliptic equations in divergence form, whose nonlinearity is governed by a convex function of non-necessarily power type, are considered. The global boundedness of their solutions is established…

This paper is about elliptic and parabolic partial differential operators with discontinuities in the gradient which are compatible with a Finsler norm in a sense to be made precise. Examples of this type of problems arise in a number of…

We study a class of fractional semilinear elliptic equations and formulate the corresponding Calder\'on problem. We determine the nonlinearity from the exterior partial measurements of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map by using first order…
