We study the Cauchy problem for the reduced Maxwell-Bloch equations with initial data for the electric field in weighted Sobolev spaces, assuming that all atoms initially reside in their ground state. Using the d-bar steepest descent…
We consider the manifold-valued, stochastic extension of the Schr\"odinger equation introduced by Hughston (Proc.Roy.Soc.Lond. A452 (1996) 953) in a manifestly covariant, differential-geometric framework, and examine the resulting quantum…
New general results of non-existence and rigidity of spacelike submanifolds immersed in a spacetime, whose mean curvature is a time-oriented causal vector field, are given. These results hold for a wide class of spacetimes which includes…
The relativistic theory of unconstrained $p$-dimensional membranes ($p$-branes) is further developed and then applied to the embedding model of induced gravity. Space-time is considered as a 4-dimensional unconstrained membrane evolving in…
Preliminary investigations are made for the stability of the $1/N$ expansion in three-dimensional gravity coupled to various matter fields, which are power-counting renormalizable. For unitary matters, a tachyonic pole appears in the spin-2…
We consider the Cauchy problem for the fourth order nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with derivative nonlinearity $(i\partial _t + \Delta ^2) u= \pm \partial (|u|^2u)$ on $\mathbb{R} ^d$, $d \ge 3$, with random initial data, where…

We investigate the interior of a dynamical black hole as described by the Einstein-Maxwell-charged-Klein-Gordon system of equations with a cosmological constant, under spherical symmetry. In particular, we consider a characteristic initial…
We prove two new results about the Cauchy problem for nonlinear Schroedinger equations on four-dimensional compact manifolds. The first one concerns global wellposedness for Hartree-type nonlinearities and includes approximations of cubic…
We investigate the tachyon coupling in a static Robertson--Walker like metric background. For a tachyon and dilaton field which are only time dependent one can rewrite this model as a SU(2) Wess--Zumino--Witten model and a scalar…
We consider the global evolution problem for Einstein's field equations in the near-Minkowski regime and study the long-time dynamics of a massive scalar field evolving under its own gravitational field. We establish the existence of a…
S(pacelike)D-branes are objects arising naturally in string theory when Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed on the time direction. SD-brane physics is inherently time-dependent. Previous investigations of gravity fields of SD-branes…
Some arguments in favour of the existence of tachyons and extensions of the Lorentz Group are presented. On the former, it is observed that with a slight modification to standard electromagnetic theory a single superluminal charge will bind…
This article suggests the definition of "Lorentzian space" weakening the notion of Lorentzian length spaces just as much that it allows for a functor from the category of strongly causal Lorentzian manifolds to the corresponding category of…
In order for spacetimes with static extra dimensions to have 4-dimensional de Sitter expansion they must have at least positive curvature, warping sourced by the 4-d expansion, or violate the null energy condition everywhere in the extra…
Cosmological implication of rolling tachyons is reported in the context of effective field theory. With a brief review of rolling tachyons in both flat and curved spacetimes, we study the string cosmological model with both tachyon and…
In this paper, we establish local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for a recently proposed dispersion generalized Camassa-Holm equation by using Kato's semigroup approach for quasi-linear evolution equations. We show that for initial…
The four-dimensional superstring solutions define at low energy effective supergravity theories. A class of them extends successfully the validity of the standard model up to the string scale (${\cal O}(10^{17})~TeV$). We stress the…
We apply a very simple procedure to construct non-singular cosmological models for flat Friedmann universes filled with minimally coupled scalar fields or by tachyon Born-Infeld-type fields. Remarkably, for the minimally coupled scalar…
