The stability of the Cauchy horizon in spherically symmetric self-similar collapse is studied by determining the flux of scalar radiation impinging on the horizon. This flux is found to be finite.

For compact, isometrically embedded Riemannian manifolds $ N \hookrightarrow \mathbb{R}^L$, we introduce a fourth-order version of the wave map equation. By energy estimates, we prove an $\textit{a priori}$ estimate for smooth local…

Two theorems related to gravitational time delay are proven. Both theorems apply to spacetimes satisfying the null energy condition and the null generic condition. The first theorem states that if the spacetime is null geodesically…

This work studies solutions of the scalar wave equation \[\Box_g\phi=0\] on a fixed subextremal Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m spacetime with non-vanishing charge $q$ and mass $M$. In a recent paper, Luk and Oh established that generic smooth and…

We consider a smooth Euclidean solid cone endowed with a smooth homogeneous density function used to weight Euclidean volume and hypersurface area. By assuming convexity of the cone and a curvature-dimension condition we prove that the…

A topological space (not necessarily simply connected) is said to have finite homotopy rank-sum if the sum of the ranks of all higher homotopy groups (from the second homotopy group onward) is finite. In this article, we characterize the…

Starting with a static, spherically symmetric spacetime incorporating critical (unstable) closed null geodesics, a family of models for equilibrium states of non-isolated compact objects is obtained by solving the Einstein equations for an…

In terms of initial data, a sufficient condition for the smoothness of the solution to the Cauchy problem for one-dimensional relativistic cold plasma equations over any given time interval is found. Unlike the non-relativistic case, such…

In this paper it is argued that even invoking the dominant energy condition, the Einstein's field equations admit nonglobally hyperbolic, asymptotically de Sitter spacetimes with locally naked singularities and with Cauchy horizons failing…

Classical energy conditions are investigated in generic static and spherically symmetric spacetimes. In setups with nonconstant $g_{tt} g_{rr}$, the appearance of horizons can signal the violation of the null energy condition and the…

We consider the pressureless Euler-Poisson equations with quadratic confinement. For spatial dimension $d\ge 2,\,d\ne 4$, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of radial global smooth solutions, which is formulated…

Let $X$ be a normal complex space such that the tangent sheaf $T_X$ is locally free and locally admits a basis consisting of pairwise commuting vector fields. Then $X$ is smooth.

This article considers the existence and regularity of Kahler-Einstein metrics on a compact Kahler manifold $M$ with edge singularities with cone angle $2\pi\beta$ along a smooth divisor $D$. We prove existence of such metrics with…

A theorem, giving necessary and sufficient condition for naked singularity formation in spherically symmetric non static spacetimes under hypotheses of physical acceptability, is formulated and proved. The theorem relates existence of…

We prove sufficient and necessary conditions for compactness of Calder\'on-Zygmund operators on the endpoint from $L^{\infty }(\mathbb R)$ into ${\rm CMO}(\mathbb R)$. We use this result to prove compactness on $L^{p}(\mathbb R)$ with…

We obtain an example of a compact locally conformal symplectic nilmanifold which admits no locally conformal K\"ahler metrics. This gives a new positive answer to a question raised by L. Ornea and M. Verbitsky.

In the present work some generalizations of the Hawking singularity theorems in the context of $f(R)$ theories are presented. The assumptions are of these generalized theorems is that the matter fields satisfy the conditions…
