In this note we have compared two different perturbation techniques that could be used to generate solutions of Einstein's equations in presence of negative cosmological constant. One of these two methods is derivative expansion and the…
In the extended phase space approach, one can define thermodynamic pressure and volume that gives rise to the van der Waals type phase transition for black holes. For Einstein's GR, the expressions of these quantities are unanimously…
The $q$-theory approach to the cosmological constant problem is reconsidered. The new observation is that the effective classical $q$-theory gets modified due to the backreaction of quantum-mechanical particle production by spacetime…

We consider the Einstein-Hilbert action without cosmological constant in 5-dimensions and implement the Kaluza-Klein (KK) reduction by compactifying the fifth direction on a circle of small but finite radius. For non-zero compactification…
We define, by an integral of geometric quantities over a spherical shell of arbitrary radius, an invariant gravitational entropy. This definition relies on defining a gravitational energy and pressure, and it reduces at the horizon of both…
In this work, we linearize the field equations of $f(R)$ gravity using the Starobinsky model, $R+R^2/(6m^2)$, and examine the modifications to General Relativity. We derive an equation for the trace, $T$, of the energy-momentum tensor,…
The forced time harmonic response of a spatiotemporally-modulated elastic beam of finite length with light damping is derived using a novel Green's function approach. Closed-form solutions are found that highlight unique mode coupling…
Gauge fields associated with the manifestly covariant dynamics of particles in (3,1) spacetime are five-dimensional. We provide solutions of the classical 5D gauge field equations in both (4,1) and (3,2) flat spacetime metrics for the…

The pointwise space-time behavior of the Green's function of the three-dimensional modified Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system is studied in this paper. It is shown that the Green's function has a decomposition of the macroscopic diffusive…
The simplest flux compactifications are highly symmetric---a $q$-form flux is wrapped uniformly around an extra-dimensional $q$-sphere. In this paper, we investigate solutions that break the internal SO($q+1$) symmetry down to…
Dissipative effects in electromagnetism on macroscopic scales are examined by coarse graining the microscopic Maxwell equations with respect to time. We illustrate a procedure to derive the dissipative effects on the macroscopic scale by…
We develop a new approach to gravitational waves in which the Einstein equations are governed by the cosmological constant which is related to the existence of a manifold which is closed. We study an example in which the matter Lagrangian…
Generalizing similar results for viscous shock and relaxation waves, we establish sharp pointwise Green function bounds and linearized and nonlinear stability for traveling wave solutions of an abstract viscous combustion model including…
This paper establishes isomorphisms for the Laplace operator in weighted Sobolev spaces (WSS). These spaces are similar to standard Sobolev spaces, but they are endowed with weights prescribing functions growth or decay at infinity.…
We consider Einstein gravity coupled to an $U(1)$ gauge field for which the density is given by a power of the Maxwell Lagrangian. In $d$-dimensions the action of Maxwell field is shown to enjoy the conformal invariance if the power is…
