In the paper, we prove the existence of a positive and essentially bounded solution to a Lichnerowicz equation in the Einstein-scalar field theory on a closed manifold with non-constant mean curvature. In particular, the non-constant mean…
In this paper we report some results obtained by applying the radial gauge to 2+1 dimensional gravity. The general features of this gauge are reviewed and it is shown how they allow the general solution of the problem in terms of simple…
We prove that if a globally minimizing solution to the vectorial Allen-Cahn equation has finite potential energy, then it is a constant.
Although the standard viewpoint in theoretical physics is that the unification of quantum theory and general relativity requires the quantization of gravity and spacetime, there is not consensus about whether spacetime must fundamentally…
We consider a wide class of four-dimensional effective field theories in which gravity is coupled to multiple four-forms and their dual scalar fields, with membrane sources charged under the corresponding three-form potentials. Four-form…
The finite-temperature one-loop effective potential for a scalar field in the static de Sitter space-time is obtained. Within this framework, by using zeta-function regularization, one can get, in the conformally invariant case, the…

We have recently proposed a simple relativistic theory which reduces to modified Newtonian dynamics for the weak-field quasistatic situations applied to galaxies, and to cosmological behavior as in the $\Lambda$CDM model, yielding a…

We study the degrees of freedom in New General Relativity -- flat and metric compatible family of theories -- around the Minkowski background in a gauge invariant manner. First, we confirm the decoupling case, in which the theory reduces to…
The recent discovery that some of the coefficients of the viscosity tensor are negative is shown to invalidate the hydrodynamic approach to the vortex liquid phase of a type-II superconductor. A satisfactory theory requires retention of all…

In this paper, we analyze the pressureless damped Euler-Riesz equations posed in either $\mathbb{R}^d$ or $\mathbb{T}^d$. We construct the global-in-time existence and uniqueness of classical solutions for the system around a constant…
The theory of point-particles in classical electrodynamics has a well-known problem of infinite self-energy, and the same is true of quantum electrodynamics. Instead of concluding that there is no such thing as a true point-particle, it is…
We present a manifestly Lorentz- and SO(2)-Duality-invariant local Quantum Field Theory of electric charges, Dirac magnetic monopoles and dyons. The manifest invariances are achieved by means of the PST-mechanism. The dynamics for classical…
We present a novel approach to establish the Birkhoff's theorem validity in the so-called quadratic Poincar\'e Gauge theories of gravity. By obtaining the field equations via the Palatini formalism, we find paradigmatic scenarios where the…
