In this paper, we initiate the study of the global stability of nonlinear wave equations with initial data that are not required to be localized around a single point. More precisely, we allow small initial data localized around any finite…
We investigate all static spherically symmetric solutions in the context of general relativity surrounded by a minimally-coupled quintessence field, using dynamical system analysis. Applying the 1+1+2 formalism and introducing suitable…
We discuss here the issue of regularity of initial data for dynamical spherically symmetric massless scalar field models in a spacetime. Generalizing the known solutions of Einstein equations given in this case by Wyman and Roberts, we…
We prove local in time well-posedness for the Zakharov system in two space dimensions with large initial data in L^2 x H^{-1/2} x H^{-3/2}. This is the space of optimal regularity in the sense that the data-to-solution map fails to be…
We show that there exist steady states of the massless Einstein-Vlasov system which surround a Schwarzschild black hole. The steady states are (thick) shells with finite mass and compact support. Furthermore we prove that an arbitrary…
The hyperboloidal initial value problem is addressed in the context of Numerical Relativity, motivated by its use of hyperboloidal slices - smooth spacelike slices that reach future null infinity, the "place" in spacetime where radiation is…
A proof that a new kind of non-removable {\it "regularity singularity"} forms when two shock waves collide within the theory of General Relativity, was first announced in ProcRoySoc A \cite{ReintjesTemple}. In the present paper we give…
Schwarzschild's 'interior solution' is a space-time metric that satisfies Einstein's gravitational field equations with a source term that Einstein created on the basis of an unjustified identification of the conceptually distinct notions…
This work constitutes the second part of a series of studies that aim to utilise tools from Hamiltonian mechanics to investigate the motion of an extended body in general relativity. The first part of this work [Refs. [1, 2]] constructed a…
We consider the Einstein-Boltzmann system for massless particles in the Bianchi I space-time with scattering cross-sections in a certain range of soft potentials. We assume that the space-time has an initial conformal gauge singularity and…
We derive spherically symmetric solutions of the classical \lambda-R model, a minimal, anisotropic modification of general relativity with a preferred foliation and two local degrees of freedom. Starting from a 3 + 1 decomposition of the…
The results on local existence and continuation criteria obtained by G. Rein in [4] are extended to the case with a non-zero cosmological constant. It is also shown that for the spherically symmetric case and a positive cosmological…
We study the stability of general relativistic static thick disks, as an application we consider the thick disk generated by applying the ``displace, cut, fill and reflect" method, usually known as the image method, to the Schwarzschild…
It is known that the standard Schwarzschild interior metric is conformally flat and generates a constant density sphere in any spacetime dimension in Einstein and Einstein--Gauss--Bonnet gravity. This motivates the questions: In EGB does…
We study the Einstein-Lichnerowicz constraints system, obtained through the conformal method when addressing the initial data problem for the Einstein equations in a scalar field theory. We prove that this system is stable with respect to…
We study global existence problems and asymptotic behavior of higher-dimensional inhomogeneous spacetimes with a compact Cauchy surface in the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton (EMD) system. Spacelike $T^{D-2}$-symmetry is assumed, where $D\geq 4$…
