We examine the attractor mechanism for extremal black holes in the context of five dimensional N = 2 supergravity and show that attractor points are unique in the extended vector multiplet moduli space. Implications for black hole entropy…
We study the ergodic and statistical properties of a class of maps of the circle and of the interval of Lorenz type which present indifferent fixed points and points with unbounded derivative. These maps have been previously investigated in…
For a certain parametrized family of maps on the circle, with critical points and logarithmic singularities where derivatives blow up to infinity, a positive measure set of parameters was constructed in [19], corresponding to maps which…
Mechanical fields over thin elastic surfaces can develop singularities at isolated points and curves in response to constrained deformations (e.g., crumpling and folding of paper), singular body forces and couples, distributions of isolated…
In this paper, we consider global weak solutions to com-pressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations with density dependent viscosities , in a periodic domain $\Omega = \mathbb T^3$, with a linear drag term with respect to the velocity. The…
We prove weak-strong uniqueness in the class of admissible measure-valued solutions for the isentropic Euler equations in any space dimension and for the Savage-Hutter model of granular flows in one and two space dimensions. For the latter…
We consider a class of endomorphisms which contains a set of piecewise partially hyperbolic skew-products with a non-uniformly expanding base map. The aimed transformation preserves a foliation which is almost everywhere uniformly…
We use a mix of field theoretic and holographic techniques to elucidate various properties of quantum entanglement entropy. In (3+1)-dimensional conformal field theory we study the divergent terms in the entropy when the entangling surface…
We study the relation between the spectral gap above the ground state and the decay of the correlations in the ground state in quantum spin and fermion systems with short-range interactions on a wide class of lattices. We prove that, if two…
We show that starting with the fact that special relativity theory is concerned with a distortion of the observed length of a moving rod, without mentioning if it is a "contraction" or "dilation", we can derive the Lorentz transformations…
We carry on a general study on axially symmetric, static fluids admitting a conformal Killing vector (CKV). The physical relevance of this kind of symmetry is emphasized. Next, we investigate all possible consequences derived from the…
A class of solutions to Einstein field equations is studied, which represents gravitational collapse of thick spherical shells made of self-similar and shear-free fluid with heat flow. It is shown that such shells satisfy all the energy…
We investigate the cosmological attractor of the minimally coupled, self-interacting phantom field with a positive energy density but negative pressure. It is proved that the phantom cosmology is rigid in the sense that there exists a…
By refining a recent result of Xie and Zhang, we prove the exponential ergodicity under a weighted variation norm for singular SDEs with drift containing a local integrable term and a coercive term. This result is then extended to singular…
We develop the contact singularity theory for singularly-perturbed (or `slow-fast') vector fields of the general form $z' = H(z,\varepsilon)$, $z\in\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\varepsilon\ll 1$. Our main result is the derivation of computable,…
An initially homogeneous freely evolving fluid of inelastic hard spheres develops inhomogeneities in the flow field (vortices) and in the density field (clusters), driven by unstable fluctuations. Their spatial correlations, as measured in…
In this paper we focus on various aspects of singular complex plane curves, mostly in the context of their homological properties and the associated combinatorial structures. We formulate some challenging open problems that can point to new…
Einstein's field equations in general relativity admit a variety of solutions with spacetime singularities. Numerical relativity has recently revealed the properties of somewhat generic spacetime singularities. It has been found that in a…
The construction of attractors of a dissipative difference equation is usually based on compactness assumptions. In this paper, we replace them with contractivity assumptions under which the pullback and forward attractors are identical. As…
We present a didactic derivation of the special theory of relativity in which Lorentz transformations are `discovered' as symmetry transformations of the Klein-Gordon equation. The interpretation of Lorentz boosts as transformations to…
