We study the Cauchy problem for a multidimensional scalar conservation law on the Bohr compactification of $\R^n$. The existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions are established in the general case of merely continuous flux vector. We…
We consider the Cauchy problem for strictly hyperbolic $m$-th order partial differential equations with coefficients low-regular in time and smooth in space. It is well-known that the problem is $L^2$ well-posed in the case of Lipschitz…
The local and global existence of the Cauchy problem for semilinear heat equations with small data is studied in the weighted $L^\infty (\mathbb R^n)$ framework by a simple contraction argument. The contraction argument is based on a…
We study the initial value problem in Einstein-Cartan theory which includes torsion and, therefore, a non-symmetric connection on the spacetime manifold. Generalizing the path of a classical theorem by Choquet-Bruhat and York for the…
We determine the wave front sets of solutions to two special cases of the Cauchy problem for the space-time fractional Zener wave equation, one being fractional in space, the other being fractional in time. For the case of the space…
The paper study a possibility to recover a parabolic diffusion from its time-average when the values at the initial time are unknown. This problem can be reformulated as a new boundary value problem where a Cauchy condition is replaced by a…
The purpose of this article is to develop a local existence theory for a class of CMC gauges for the Einstein-non-linear scalar field equations. We do so in the context of closed and parallelisable initial manifolds. The assumption that the…
We study the continuous model of the localized wave propagation corresponding to the one-dimensional diatomic crystal lattice. From the mathematical point of view the problem can be described in terms of the Cauchy problem with localized…
In many numerical implementations of the Cauchy formulation of Einstein's field equations one encounters artificial boundaries which raises the issue of specifying boundary conditions. Such conditions have to be chosen carefully. In…
We prove that spacetimes satisfying the vacuum Einstein equations on a manifold of the form $\Sigma \times U(1)\times R$ where $\Sigma $ is a compact surface of genus $G>1$ and where the Cauchy data is invariant with respect to U(1) and…
We introduce a formulation of the initial and boundary value problem for nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws posed on a differential manifold endowed with a volume form, possibly with a boundary; in particular, this includes the…
We study the initial value problem for the wave equation and the ultrahyperbolic equation for data posed on initial surface of mixed signature (both spacelike and timelike). Under a nonlocal constraint, we show that the Cauchy problem on…
Let $L$ be a special Lagrangian submanifold of a compact, Calabi-Yau manifold $M$ with boundary lying on the symplectic, codimension 2 submanifold $W$. It is shown how deformations of $L$ which keep the boundary of $L$ confined to $W$ can…
In the present paper, we prove time decay estimates of solutions in weighted Sobolev spaces to the second order evolution equation with fractional Laplacian and damping for data in Besov spaces. Our estimates generalize the estimates…
Timelike minimal surfaces in the three-dimensional Lorentzian Heisenberg group are shown to be constructed from Lorentzian harmonic maps into the de-Sitter two-sphere, and they naturally admit singular points. In particular, we provide…

In this contribution, we study spacetimes of cosmological interest, without making any symmetry assumptions. We prove a rigid Hawking singularity theorem for positive cosmological constant, which sharpens known results. In particular, it…
We take a step towards characterising stationary data for the vacuum Einstein equations, by finding a necessary condition on initial data for which the evolution is a solution of the vacuum equations admitting a Killing vector, which is…
