We prove the existence of global solutions to the Cauchy problem for noncommutative nonlinear wave equations in arbitrary even spatial dimensions where the noncommutativity is only in the spatial directions. We find that for existence there…

The classical Cauchy completion of a metric space (by means of Cauchy sequences) as well as the completion of a uniform space (by means of Cauchy filters) are well-known to rely on the symmetry of the metric space or uniform space in…

For two-dimensional steady pure-gravity water waves with a unidirectional flow of constant favourable vorticity, we prove an explicit bound on the amplitude of the wave, which decays to zero as the vorticity tends to infinity. Notably, our…

It is standard assertion in relativity that, subject to an energy condition and the cosmic censorship hypothesis, closed trapped surfaces are not visible from future null infinity. A proof given by Hawking & Ellis in ''The Large Scale…

We demonstrate that the source of a shear-free null congruence is, generically, a world sheet of a singular string in the complex Minkowski space. In particular cases the string degenerates into the Newman's point singularity. We describe…

We prove that "first singularities" in the non-trapped region of the maximal development of spherically symmetric asymptotically flat data for the Einstein-Vlasov system must necessarily emanate from the center. The notion of "first"…

We prove a quantitative unique continuation principle for infinite dimensional spectral subspaces of Schr\"odinger operators. Let $\Lambda_L = (-L/2,L/2)^d$ and $H_L = -\Delta_L + V_L$ be a Schr\"odinger operator on $L^2 (\Lambda_L)$ with a…

Null infinity arises as a boundary of the Penrose conformal completion of an asymptotically flat physical space-time. We first note that null infinity is a weakly isolated horizon (WIH), and then show that its familiar properties can be…

We study the scalar, conformally invariant wave equation on a four-dimensional Minkowski background in spherical symmetry, using a fully pseudospectral numerical scheme. Thereby, our main interest is in a suitable treatment of spatial…

In an earlier paper, we showed that the causal boundary of any homogeneous plane wave satisfying the null convergence condition consists of a single null curve. In Einstein-Hilbert gravity, this would include any homogeneous plane wave…

We consider the problem of global stability of solutions to a class of semilinear wave equations with null condition in Minkowski space. We give sufficient conditions on the given solution which guarantees stability. Our stability result…

Solitary waves in a general nonlinear lattice are discussed, employing as a model the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a spatially periodic nonlinear coefficient. An asymptotic theory is developed for long solitary waves, that span a…

Marginally outer trapped surfaces are widely considered as the best quasi-local replacements for event horizons of black holes in General Relativity. However, this equivalence is far from being proved, even in stationary and static…

We study the formation and perturbation of black holes by null fluxes of neutral matter in a quadratic extension of General Relativity formulated a la Palatini. Working in a spherically symmetric space-time, we obtain an exact analytical…

We improve on recent results that establish the existence of solutions of certain semilinear wave equations possessing an interface that roughly sweeps out a timelike surface of vanishing mean curvature in Minkowski space. Compared to…

In general relativity, nonsingular black holes contain (at least) a Cauchy horizon, a null hypersurface beyond which determinism breaks down. Even though the strong cosmic censorship conjecture establishes the impossibility of extending…

In this paper, we prove the nonlinear stability in exponential time of Minkowki space-time with a translation space-like Killing field. In the presence of such a symmetry, the 3 + 1 vacuum Einstein equations reduce to the 2 + 1 Einstein…

We show how the concurrent implementation of the exact solutions of the Einstein equations, of the equations of motion of the test particles, and of the relativistic estimate of the emission of gravitational waves from test particles, can…
