In this paper we study the perturbative regime in the static patch of de Sitter metric in the Regge-Wheeler formalism. After realizing that perturbative regime in a de Sitter spacetime depicted in terms of usual spherical coordinates cannot…

In this paper, we mainly build up the theory of sheaf-correspondence filtered spaces and stratified de Rham complexes for studying singular spaces. We prove the finiteness of a stratified de Rham cohomology and obtain its isomorphism to…

This is a survey article on the recent progress in understanding the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow (SYZ) mirror symmetry conjecture, especially on the effect of quantum corrections, via Witten-Morse theory using the program first depicted by Fukaya…

We construct the Seiberg-Witten theory on 3-manifolds with Euclidean ends (connected sums of $\R^3$ and a compact manifold) with perturbations which approximate $*dx_3$ at infinity, and describe the structure of the moduli spaces. The setup…

A perturbation approach is used for analysis of a near-cloak in shielding a finite scatterer from an incident flexural wave. The effect of the boundary conditions on the interior surface of the cloaking layer is analysed in detail, based on…

We use invariance theory to determine the coefficient $a_{m+1,m}^{d+\delta}$ in the supertrace for the twisted de Rham complex with absolute boundary conditions.

We consider the continuous and discrete-time Hamilton's variational principle on phase space, and characterize the exact discrete Hamiltonian which provides an exact correspondence between discrete and continuous Hamiltonian mechanics. The…

For lambda phi^4 models, the introduction of a large field cutoff improves significantly the accuracy that can be reached with perturbative series but the calculation of the modified coefficients remains a challenging problem. We show that…

The Linet-Tian metrics are solutions of the Einstein equations with a cosmological constant, $\Lambda$, that can be positive or negative. The linear instability of these metrics in the case $\Lambda <0$, has already been established. In the…

The goal of this article is to generalise the Witten deformation to even dimensional conic manifolds and a class of functions called admissible Morse functions.

This survey deals with two closely connected topics: first, the stability of Einstein metrics under the Einstein-Hilbert functional, and second, their deformation theory and the study of the moduli space of Einstein metrics on a compact…

The variational perturbation theory for wave functions, which has been shown to work well for bound states of the anharmonic oscillator, is applied to resonance states of the anharmonic oscillator with negative coupling constant. We obtain…

Classical matrix perturbation results, such as Weyl's theorem for eigenvalues and the Davis-Kahan theorem for eigenvectors, are general purpose. These classical bounds are tight in the worst case, but in many settings sub-optimal in the…

We present a singular perturbation theory applicable to systems with hybrid boundary layer systems and hybrid reduced systems {with} jumps from the boundary layer manifold. First, we prove practical attractivity of an adequate attractor set…

In this short paper we show that March's criterion for the existence of a bounded non constant harmonic function on a weak model is also a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of the Dirichlet problem at infinity on a…

We give an effective sufficient condition for a variational problem with infinite horizon on a compact Riemannian manifold M to admit a smooth optimal synthesis, i. e. a smooth dynamical system on M whose positive semi-trajectories are…

Singular perturbations have been used to select solutions of (non-convex) variational problems with a multiplicity of minimizers. The prototype of such an approach is the gradient theory of phase transitions by L. Modica, who specialized…

We study the Dirac spectrum on compact Riemannian spin manifolds $M$ equipped with a metric connection $\nabla$ with skew torsion $T\in\Lambda^3M$ by means of twistor theory. An optimal lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac…

Integrable Hamiltonian systems on almost-symplectic manifolds have recently drawn some attention. Under suitable properties, they have a structure analogous to those of standard symplectic-Hamiltonian completely integrable systems. Here we…
