It is shown that a scalar field, minimally coupled to gravity may have collapsing modes even when the energy condition is violated, that is, for $(\rho+3p)<0$. This result may be useful in the investigation of the possible clustering of…
We introduce a shell-model theory that combines traditional spherical states, which yield a diagonal representation of the usual single-particle interaction, with collective configurations that track deformations, and test the validity of…
We exploit the 1+1+2 formalism to covariantly describe the inhomogeneous and anisotropic Szekeres models. It is shown that an \emph{average scale length} can be defined \emph{covariantly} which satisfies a 2d equation of motion driven from…
In this work we contrast the behaviour of two spherically symmetric matter models in a class of spherically symmetric spacetimes which feature a weak null singularity. This class in particular contains spherically symmetric perturbations of…
We analyze the percolation properties of certain clusters defined on configurations of the 2--dimensional Heisenberg model. We find that, given any direction \vec{n} in O(3) space, the spins almost perpendicular to \vec{n} form a…
In this talk we would like to review recent results on non-singular cosmological models. It has been recently shown that among stiff perfect fluid inhomogeneous spacetimes the absence of singularities is more common than it was expected in…
The existence of macroscopic shell structure of submicron metal clusters is known for several decades. Since the most studies provide theoretical analysis for clusters of spherical shape, the electron density inhomogeneities caused by shell…
We explore the intrinsic dynamics of spherical shells immersed in a fluid in the vicinity of their buckled state, through experiments and 3D axisymmetric simulations. The results are supported by a theoretical model that accurately…
After a brief introduction to the physics of bulk strange quark matter (SQM) this review focuses on the properties of low baryon number strangelets presently searched for in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion experiments at CERN and Brookhaven.…
We consider a spherical thick shell immersed in two different spherically symmetric space-times. Using the fact that the boundaries of the thick shell with two embedding space-times must be nonsingular hypersurfaces, we develop a scheme to…
We study the so-called homogeneous model of wind-driven ocean circulation, also known as the single-layer quasigeostrophic model. Our attention focuses on performing a complete asymptotic analysis that highlights boundary layer formation…
In this paper for either the sharp front Surface Quasi-Geostrophic equation or the Muskat problem we rule out the "splash singularity" blow-up scenario; in other words we prove that the contours evolving from either of these systems can not…
The behavior of perturbations is studied in cosmological models which consist of two different homogeneous regions connected in a spherical shell boundary. The junction conditions for the metric perturbations and the displacements of the…
We study spherically symmetric thin-shell wormholes in a string cloud background in (3+1)-dimensional spacetime. The amount of exotic matter required for the construction, the traversability and the stability under radial perturbations, are…
The possibility of obtaining an open set of regular cosmological models is discussed. Cylindrical stiff perfect fluid cosmologies are studied in detail. The condition for geodesic completeness is easy to check. A large family of…
We describe singularities of the convex hull of a generic compact smooth hypersurface in four-dimensional affine space up to diffeomorphisms. It turns out there are only two new singularities (in comparison with the previous dimension case)…
Spherically symmetric inhomogeneous dust collapse has been studied in higher dimensional space-time and appearance of naked singularity has been analyzed both for non-marginal and marginally bound cases. It has been shown that naked…
In this paper, we study currents that have full mass intersection with respect to given currents in the mixed setting on a compact K\"ahler manifold. We compare their singularities by using Lelong numbers. Our main theorems generalize some…
A model for a possible variable cosmic object is presented. The model consists of a massive shell surrounding a compact object. The gravitational and self-gravitational forces tend to collapse the shell, but the internal tangential stresses…
Recent developments in observational cosmology call for understanding the nature of the cosmological singularity (CS). Our work proposes modelling the vicinity of CS by a time dependent orbifold (TDO). Our model makes sense if quantum…
