In a paper of Mathews, an isomorphism is constructed between two-component complex spinors and horospheres in H^3 carrying `spin decorations'. A recent arXiv preprint of Mathews and Varsha arXiv:2412.06572 extends this result to the case of…

This paper studies the two-component spinor form of massive spin-3/2 potentials in conformally flat Einstein four-manifolds. Following earlier work in the literature, a non-vanishing cosmological constant makes it necessary to introduce a…

Solutions to the compressible Euler equations in all dimensions have been shown to develop finite-time singularities from smooth initial data such as shocks and cusps. There is an extraordinary list of results on this subject. When the…

The Einstein/Maxwell equations reduce in the stationary and axially symmetric case to a harmonic map with prescribed singularities phi: R^3\Sigma -> H^2_C, where Sigma is a subset of the axis of symmetry, and H^2_C is the complex hyperbolic…

We investigate the holonomy group of a linear metric connection with skew-symmetric torsion. In case of the euclidian space and a constant torsion form this group is always semisimple. It does not preserve any non-degenerated 2-form or any…

We prove the general sharp mean value inequality for non-negative superharmonic functions and its corresponding rigidity, which removes the radius restriction of Schoen-Yau's classical result about this inequality. And we obtain an explicit…

Given a $\mathbb Z_2$-harmonic spinor satisfying some genericity assumptions, this article constructs a 1-parameter family of two-spinor Seiberg-Witten monopoles converging to it after renormalization. The proof is a gluing construction…

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…
