We consider a deformation of the $AdS_5\times S^5$ solution of IIB supergravity obtained by taking the boundary value of the dilaton to be time dependent. The time dependence is taken to be slowly varying on the AdS scale thereby…
We discuss a no-go theorem for the novel Ricci-inverse theory of modified gravity. By considering a static spherically symmetric matter distribution embedded within a de Sitter cosmology, we demonstrate that achieving a stable Sub-Horizon…
This paper addresses the existence and spectral stability of traveling fronts for nonlinear hyperbolic equations with a positive "damping" term and a reaction function of bistable type. Particular cases of the former include the relaxed…
Strong Beltrami fields have long played a key role in fluid mechanics and magnetohydrodynamics. In particular, they are the kind of stationary solutions of the Euler equations where one has been able to show the existence of vortex…
This study considers the stability of a non-inflectional elastica under a conservative end force subject to the Dirichlet, mixed, and Neumann boundary conditions. It is demonstrated that the non-inflectional elastica subject to the…
If Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity is obtained as a low energy limit of string theory, then the Gauss-Bonnet parameter $\alpha$ is essentially the inverse string tension and thus necessarily positive. If one treats Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet…
The quantization of pure 3D gravity with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a finite boundary is of interest both as a model of quantum gravity in which one can compute quantities which are "more local" than S-matrices or asymptotic boundary…
Using the AdS/CFT duality, we study the expectation value of stress tensor in $2+1$-dimensional quantum critical theories with a general dynamical scaling $z$, and explore various constrains on negative energy density for strongly coupled…
We obtain conditions for the existence and stability of de Sitter attractors in the phase space of spatially homogeneous and isotropic cosmology in generalized theories of gravity (including non-linear and scalar-tensor theories). These…
It is challenging to construct explicit and controllable models that realize de Sitter solutions in string compactifications. This difficulty is the main motivation for the Refined de Sitter Conjecture and the Trans-Planckian Censorship…
We consider three-dimensional Einstein gravity in Euclidean signature with a finite boundary of torus topology endowed with an induced metric of fixed conformal class and a constant trace of extrinsic curvature $K$. For vanishing, positive,…
Unlike Einstein gravity, dilaton-Maxwell gravity with matter is renormalizable in $2+\epsilon$ dimensions and has a smooth $\epsilon\to 0$ limit.By performing a renormalization- group study of this last theory we show that the gravitational…
In this paper, we are concerned with the structural stability of some steady subsonic solutions for Euler-Poisson system. A steady subsonic solution with subsonic background charge is proven to be structurally stable with respect to small…
In the AdS/CFT framework, vacuum and excited states are systematically described by imposing arbitrary Dirichlet boundary conditions at the AdS boundary. Furthermore, there are explicit relations connecting the quantum states to their…
We study the global dynamics of free massive scalar fields on general, globally stationary, asymptotically AdS black hole backgrounds with Dirichlet-, Neumann- or Robin- boundary conditions imposed on $\psi$ at infinity. This class includes…
We consider cosmological topologically massive gravity at the chiral point with positive sign of the Einstein-Hilbert term. We demonstrate the presence of a negative energy bulk mode that grows linearly in time. Unless there are physical…
Using spatial domain techniques developed by the authors and Myunghyun Oh in the context of parabolic conservation laws, we establish under a natural set of spectral stability conditions nonlinear asymptotic stability with decay at Gaussian…
We study Yang-Mills theory on four dimensional Anti-de Sitter space. The Dirichlet boundary condition cannot exist at arbitrarily large radius because it would give rise to colored asymptotic states in flat space. As observed in [1] this…
We study generic solutions in a non-minimally coupled to gravity scalar field cosmology. It is shown that dynamics for both canonical and phantoms scalar fields with the potential can be reduced to the dynamical system from which the exact…
We review issues related to conservation laws for gravity with a negative cosmological constant subject to asymptotically (locally) anti-de Sitter boundary conditions. Beginning with the empty AdS spacetime, we introduce asymptotically…
