We study the constraint equations for the Einstein-scalar field system on compact manifolds. Using the conformal method we reformulate these equations as a determined system of nonlinear partial differential equations. By introducing a new…
The asymptotic properties of conformally static metrics in Einstein-aether theory with a perfect fluid source and a scalar field are analyzed. In case of perfect fluid, some relativistic solutions are recovered such as: Minkowski spacetime,…
We formulate the weak separation condition and the finite type condition for conformal iterated function systems on Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature, and generalize the main theorems by Lau \textit{et al.} in [Monatsch.…
On metric spaces equipped with doubling measures, we prove that a differentiability theorem holds for Lipschitz functions if and only if the space supports nontrivial (metric) derivations in the sense of Weaver that satisfy an additional…
In this paper, we study the second approximate Matsumoto metric on a manifold M. We prove that F is of scalar flag curvature and isotropic S-curvature if and only if it is isotropic Berwald metric with almost isotropic flag curvature.
We devise a geometric description of bounded systems at criticality in any dimension $d$. This is achieved by altering the flat metric with a space dependent scale factor $\gamma(x)$, $x$ belonging to a general bounded domain $\Omega$.…
In this paper, we consider a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, endowed with a magnetic potential $\alpha$ and a potential $U$. For brevity, this type of systems are called $\MP$-systems. On simple $\MP$-systems, we consider both…
First we present a short overview of the long history of projectively flat Finsler spaces. We give a simple and quite elementary proof of the already known condition for the projective flatness, and we give a criterion for the projective…
We analyse the gravitational behaviour of a relativistic heat conducting fluid in a shear-free spherically symmetric spacetime. We show that the isotropy of pressure is a consistency condition which realises a second order nonlinear…
In this paper, we use a Killing form on a Riemannian manifold to construct a class of Finsler metrics. We find equations that characterize Einstein metrics among this class. In particular, we construct a family of Einstein metrics on $S^3$…
The aim of this work is to formulate two new solutions by decoupling the field equations via a minimal geometric deformation in the context of self-interacting Brans-Dicke gravity. We introduce an extra source in the anisotropic fluid…
For a general nonlinear control system, we study the problem of small time local attainability of a target which is the closure of an open set. When the target is smooth and locally the sublevel set of a smooth function, we develop second…
We construct the homogeneous Einstein equation for generalized flag manifolds $G/K$ of a compact simple Lie group $G$ whose isotropy representation decomposes into five inequivalent irreducible $\Ad(K)$-submodules. To this end we apply a…
This paper develops a mathematical framework for interpreting observations of solar inertial waves in an idealized setting. Under the assumption of purely toroidal linear waves on the sphere, the stream function of the flow satisfies a…
In this paper, we study a class of Finsler metrics which contains the class of Berwald metrics as a special case. We prove that every Finsler metric in this class is a generalized Douglas-Weyl metric. Then we study isotropic flag curvature…
We consider the direct and inverse scattering problem for a penetrable, isotropic obstacle with a second-order Robin boundary condition, which asymptotically models the delamination of the boundary of the scatterer. We develop a direct…
