We prove that if an asymptotically Schwarzschildean 3-manifold (M,g) contains a properly embedded stable minimal surface, then it is isometric to the Euclidean space. This implies, for instance, that in presence of a positive ADM mass any…
A new solution of the Einstein equations for the point mass immersed in the de Sitter Universe is presented. The properties of the metric are very different from both the Schwarzschild black hole and the de Sitter Universe: it is everywhere…
Based on the isoperimetric inequality, G. Huisken proposed a definition of total mass in general relativity that is equivalent to the ADM mass for (smooth) asymptotically flat 3-manifolds of nonnegative scalar curvature, but that is…
It has been shown by Ba\~{n}ados, Silk and West (BSW) that the center of mass energy (E_cm) of test particles starting from rest at infinity and colliding near the horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole is always finite. In this…
We obtain existence and local uniqueness of asymptotically flat, static vacuum extensions for Bartnik data on a sphere near the data of a sphere of symmetry in a Schwarzschild manifold.
We study the dynamics of solutions of nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation near unstable ground states. The existence of the local center stable manifold around ground states and the asymptotic stability for the solutions on the manifold is…
Dray and Streubel proposed a definition of angular momentum in general relativity based on `Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) charges'. I show here that the natural definition of center of mass in this program has an infinite-dimensional ambiguity.…
We prove the existence of a fixed point for mappings which satisfy some asymptotic nonexpansive conditions in Banach spaces which are either nearly uniformly convex or they satisfy that asymptotic centers of bounded sequences are compact.…
A unified equation is employed to analytically investigate the scattering of massless spin particles by a Schwarzschild-type medium black hole. It is found that for spin particles, curved spacetime induces an effective complex potential…
We investigate the propagation of the scalar waves in the Witten space-time called "bubble of nothing" and in its remarkable sub-manifold, the Lorentzian Hawking wormhole. Due to the global hyperbolicity, the global Cauchy problem is…
This research investigates centered co-circular central configurations in the general power-law potential $n$-body problem. Firstly, there are no such configurations when all masses are equal, except for two; secondly, unless all masses are…
We consider the NLS on Schwarzschild manifold.For radial solutions with sufficiently localized initial data,global existence,L^p estimates and asymptotic completeness of the wave operators is proved
We present a method for establishing invariant manifolds for saddle--center fixed points. The method is based on cone conditions, suitably formulated to allow for application in computer assisted proofs, and does not require rigorous…
We investigate the possibility of negative mass particles and whether physics as we know it today allows or excludes their existence and what properties they might have in the light these laws. We show that nothing prohibit their existence,…
The generic, qualitative, local behavior of center-of-light curves near folds and cusps are studied. The results apply to any finite number of lens planes.
The concept of centre of mass of two particles in 2D spaces of constant Gaussian curvature is discussed by recalling the notion of "relativistic rule of lever" introduced by Galperin [Comm. Math. Phys. 154 (1993), 63--84] and comparing it…
In the studied axisymmetric case of the central four-body problem, the axis of symmetry is defined by two unequal-mass bodies, while the other two bodies are situated symmetrically with respect to this axis and have equal masses. Here, we…
Schwarzschild's actual exterior solution (Gs) is resurrected and together with the manifold M is shown to constitute a space-time possessing all the properties historically thought to be required of a point mass. On the other hand, the…
Let $g$ be a metric on the $2$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ with positive Gaussian curvature and $H$ be a positive constant. Under suitable conditions on $(g, H)$, we construct smooth, asymptotically flat $3$-manifolds $M$ with non-negative scalar…
We investigate the existence of ground states of prescribed mass, for the nonlinear Schroedinger energy on a noncompact metric graph G. While in some cases the topology of G may rule out or, on the contrary, guarantee the existence of…
