We show that Hermitian-Einstein metrics can be locally constructed by a map from (anti-)self-dual two-forms on Euclidean ${\mathbb R}^4$ to symmetric two-tensors introduced in "Gravitational instantons from gauge theory," H. S. Yang and M.…

We extract the square root of the Minkowski metric using Dirac/Clifford matrices. The resulting $4\times 4$ operator $d{\bf S}$ that represents the square root, can be used to transform four vectors between relatively moving observers. This…

We generate numerically on a lattice an ensemble of stationary metrics, with spherical symmetry, which have Einstein action $S_E \ll \hbar$. This is obtained through a Metropolis algorithm with weight $\exp(-\beta^2 S^2_E)$ and $\beta \gg…

We reformulate the symmetries of Gurses [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 367 (1993)] in a more abstract, more geometrical manner. The type (b) transformation of \gurses\ is related to a diffeomorphism of the differentiable manifold onto itself. The…

The goal of this article is twofold. We first extend a result of Murty and Saradha \cite{MS} related to the digamma function at rational arguments. Further, we extend another result of the same authors \cite{MS1} about the nature of…

We study the number of periodic solutions in two first order non-autonomous differential equations both of which have been used to describe, among other things, the mean magnetization of an Ising magnet in the time-varying external magnetic…

In this short paper, we consider a quadruple $(\Omega, \AA, \theta, \mu)$,where $\AA$ is a $\sigma$-algebra of subsets of $\Omega$, and $\theta$ is a measurable bijection from $\Omega$ into itself that preserves the measure $\mu$. For each…

In this paper, we study the logarithmic Laplacian operator $L_\Delta$, which is a singular integral operator with symbol $2\log |\zeta|$. We show that this operator has the integral representation $$L_\Delta u(x) = c_{N} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N…

Let $\Omega $ be an open, smooth, bounded subset of $ \Bbb R ^n$. In connection with the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta )^a$ ($a>0$), and more generally for a $2a$-order classical pseudodifferential operator ($\psi $do) $P$ with even…

In this paper, we investigate the orbital stability of peakons for a modified Camassa-Holm equation with cubic nonlinearity derived from the two-dimensional Euler equation. By overcoming the difficulties caused by one of the complicated…

We prove reducibility of a class of quasi-periodically forced linear equations of the form \[ \partial_tu-\partial_x\circ (1+a(\omega t, x))u+\mathcal{Q}(\omega t)u=0,\quad x\in\mathbb{T}:=\mathbb{R}/2\pi\mathbb{Z}, \] where $u=u(t,x)$, $a$…

In this paper we initiate the study of $2$nd order variational problems in $L^\infty$, seeking to minimise the $L^\infty$ norm of a function of the hessian. We also derive and study the respective PDE arising as the analogue of the…

We prove the existence, uniqueness, and sharp bilateral pointwise estimates for positive bounded solutions to the Lane--Emden type problem \[ \begin{cases} L u = \sum\limits_{i=1}^{m}\sigma_{i} u^{q_{i}}+\sigma_0, \quad u\geq0 & \text{in }…

In this paper, we build a Gibbs measure for the cubic defocusing Schr\"odinger equation on the real line with a decreasing interaction potential, in the sense that the non linearity $|u|^2u$ is multiplied by a function $\chi$ which we…

A formulation of linearized gravity which is manifestly invariant under electric-magnetic duality rotations in the internal space of the metric and its dual, and which contains both metrics as basic variables (rather than the corresponding…

The Gaussian curvature of a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold is uniquely determined by the choice of the metric. The formulas for computing the curvature in terms of components of the metric, in isothermal coordinates, involve the…

We obtain the Baxter Q-operators in the $U_q(\hat{sl}_2)$ invariant integrable models as a special limits of the quantum transfer matrices corresponding to different spins in the auxiliary space both from the functional relations and from…

We continue our study of the mixed Einstein-Hilbert action as a functional of a pseudo-Riemannian metric and a linear connection. Its geometrical part is the total mixed scalar curvature on a smooth manifold endowed with a distribution or a…
