The action of general relativity proposed by Capovilla, Jacobson and Dell is written in terms of $SO(3)$ gauge fields and gives Ashtekar's constraints for Einstein gravity. However, it does not depend on the space-time metric nor its…

Supersymmetric domain-wall solutions of maximal gauged supergravity are classified in 4, 5 and 7 dimensions in the presence of non-trivial scalar fields taking values in the coset SL(N, R)/SO(N) for N=8, 6 and 5 respectively. We use an…
We consider the following logarithmic Schr\"{o}dinger equation $$ -\Delta u+h(x)u=u\log u^{2} $$ on a locally finite graph $G=(V,E)$, where $\Delta$ is a discrete Laplacian operator on the graph, $h$ is the potential function. Different…

Biconformal gauging of the conformal group has a scale-invariant volume form, permitting a single form of the action to be invariant in any dimension. We display several 2n-dim scale-invariant polynomial actions and a dual action. We solve…
We construct coordinate systems that cover all of the Reissner-Nordstroem solution with m>|q| and m=|q|, respectively. This is possible by means of elementary analytical functions. The limit of vanishing charge q provides an alternative to…
