In this work we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of bounded solutions of a resonant multi-point second-order boundary value problem, with a fully differential equation. The noninvertibility of the linear part is overcome by a…
A well-defined variational principle for gravitational actions typically requires to cancel boundary terms produced by the variation of the bulk action with a suitable set of boundary counterterms. This can be achieved by carefully…
This paper deals with an initial and boundary value problem for a system coupling equation and boundary condition both of Cahn-Hilliard type; an additional convective term with a forced velocity field, which could act as a control on the…
In addition to the ordinary bulk higher equations of motion in the boundary version of the Liouville conformal field theory, an infinite set of relations containing the boundary operators is found. These equations are in one-to-one…
This paper generalizes earlier work on Hamiltonian boundary terms by omitting the requirement that the spacelike hypersurfaces $\Sigma_t$ intersect the timelike boundary $\cal B$ orthogonally. The expressions for the action and Hamiltonian…
An introduction into the theory of boundary critical phenomena and the application of the field-theoretical renormalization group method to these is given. The emphasis is on a discussion of surface critical behavior at bulk critical points…
Some limit theorems are proven for the linear oscillator with random coefficients. The asymptotic behaviour of the moments is studied in detail. The technique presented in this paper can be applied to general linear systems with noise and…
We collect examples of boundary-value problems of Dirichlet and Dirichlet-Neumann type which we found instructive when designing and analysing numerical methods for fully nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations. In particular, our…
The fundamental laws of physics can be derived from the requirement of invariance under suitable classes of transformations on the one hand, and from the need for a well-posed mathematical theory on the other hand. As a part of this…
This is a brief introduction to the subject of Conformal Field Theory on surfaces with boundaries and crosscaps, which describes the perturbative expansion of open string theory.
We discuss without proof some recent advances in the theory of distributional boundary values, and give an example to show that the condition that a piecewise smooth domain has generic corners is necessary for the existence of boundary…
Considering a generalization of the Gibbons-Hawking-York covariant boundary action that depends on both the extrinsic and the intrinsic geometry of the boundary, we derive boundary conditions for the cosmological background and tensor…
The Sommerfeld boundary conditions, imposed on hyperbolic differential equations to obtain solutions in the form of outgoing waves, are formulated here so as to make explicit the role of an appropriate null vector field. When applied to the…
R. M. Brown's theorem on mixed Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions is extended in two ways for the special case of polyhedral domains. A (1) more general partition of the boundary into Dirichlet and Neumann sets is used on (2)…
It is common knowledge that the Einstein-Hilbert action does not furnish a well-posed variational principle. The usual solution to this problem is to add an extra boundary term to the action, called a counter-term, so that the variational…
The aim of these notes is to connect the theory of hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic groups to the theory of manifolds and Kleinian groups. We survey some of the extensive work that has been done in the field, and explain many examples.…
Several years ago it was found that perturbation theory for two-dimensional O(N) models depends on boundary conditions even after the infinite volume limit has been taken termwise, provided $N>2$. There ensued a discussion whether the…
The purpose of this paper is twofold. In one direction, we extend the spectral method for random piecewise expanding and hyperbolic dynamics developed by the first author \textit{et al}. to establish quenched versions of the large deviation…
We study N=1 super Liouville theory on worldsheets with and without boundary. Some basic correlation functions on a sphere or a disc are obtained using the properties of degenerate representations of superconformal algebra. Boundary states…
A modification of General Relativity that is based on the gravitational Standard-Model Extension and incorporates nondynamical background fields has recently been studied via the ADM formalism. Our objective in this paper is to develop a…
