We consider the Gross--Pitaevskii equation on $\R^4$ and the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLS) on $\R^3$ with non-vanishing boundary conditions at spatial infinity. By viewing these equations as perturbations to the…

Consider an asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ of dimension $n \geq 3$ with nonempty compact boundary. We recall the harmonic conformal class $[g]_h$ of the metric, which consists of all conformal rescalings given by a harmonic…

In this article we carry out a detailed investigation of the geometric nature of the points at infinity of Minkowski superspace. It turns out that there are several sets of points forming the superconformal boundary of Minkowski superspace:…

It is well-known that every cuspidal edge in the Euclidean space E^3 cannot have a bounded mean curvature function. On the other hand, in the Lorentz-Minkowski space L^3, zero mean curvature surfaces admit cuspidal edges. One natural…

We classify compact conformally flat $n$-dimensional manifolds with constant positive scalar curvature and satisfying an optimal integral pinching condition: they are covered isometrically by either $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ with the round metric,…

Let $M^{n+1}_1$ be a light-like geodesically complete Lorentzian $(n+1)$-manifold satisfying the null energy condition. We show that null hypersurfaces properly immersed in $M^{n+1}_1$ are totally geodesic.

While the Lorenzian and Riemanian metrics for which all polynomial scalar curvature invariants vanish (the VSI property) are well-studied, less is known about the four-dimensional neutral signature metrics with the VSI property. Recently it…

Starting from the classical notion of an oriented congruence (i.e. a foliation by oriented curves) in $R^3$, we abstract the notion of an oriented congruence structure. This is a 3-dimensional CR manifold $(M,H, J)$ with a preferred…

We construct the differential geometry of smooth manifolds equipped with an algebraic curvature map acting as an area measure. Area metric geometry provides a spacetime structure suitable for the discussion of gauge theories and strings,…

Lecture notes from the mini-course "Topics in Lorentz Geometry" taught at the University of S\~{a}o Paulo, in March/2019. The text has three parts: (i) an overall view of linear algebra in the pseudo-Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n_\nu$, with…

We determine, for all three-dimensional non-unimodular Lie groups equipped with a Lorentzian metric, the set of homogeneous geodesics through a point. Together with the results of [C] and [CM2], this leads to the full classification of…

A Riemannian manifold is called harmonic if its volume density function expressed in polar coordinates centered at any point is radial. Flat and rank-one symmetric spaces are harmonic. The converse (the Lichnerowicz Conjecture) is true for…

We construct universal geometric coefficients for the cluster algebra associated to the four-punctured sphere and obtain, as a by-product, the g-vectors of cluster variables. We also construct the rational part of the mutation fan. These…

Perfect Matching-Cut is the problem of deciding whether a graph has a perfect matching that contains an edge-cut. We show that this problem is NP-complete for planar graphs with maximum degree four, for planar graphs with girth five, for…

The three-dimensional quasi-geostrophic equation is considered over a cylindrical domain with a multiply connected horizontal cross-section. Homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, tantamount to homogeneous density fields, are imposed on…

We present an abstract approach to Lorentzian Gromov-Hausdorff distance and convergence, and an alternative approach to Lorentzian length spaces that does not use auxiliary ``positive signature'' metrics or other unobserved fields. We begin…
