This document is the Ph.D. thesis of Leonard Parker, submitted to Harvard University in 1966. Over the decades, several generations of physicists have been introduced to the concept of particle creation by gravitational fields, a phenomenon…
We establish global pointwise bounds for the Green's matrix for divergence form, second order elliptic systems in a domain under the assumption that weak solutions of the system vanishing on a portion of the boundary satisfy a certain local…

From the relativistic law of motion we attempt to deduce the field theories corresponding to the force law being linear and quadratic in 4-velocity of the particle. The linear law leads to the vector gauge theory which could be the abelian…
Exact solutions to the Einstein field equations may be generated from already existing ones (seed solutions), that admit at least one Killing vector. In this framework, a space of potentials is introduced. By the use of symmetries in this…
We survey some important properties of fields of generalized series and of exponential-logarithmic series, with particular emphasis on their possible differential structure, based on a joint work of the author with S. Kuhlmann [KM12b,KM11].
We present a comprehensive pedagogical discussion of a family of models describing the propagation of a single particle in a multicomponent non-Markovian Gaussian random field. We report some exact results for single-particle Green's…
We study the effect of any uneven voltage distribution on two close cylindrical conductors with parallel axes that are slightly shifted in the radial and by any length in the axial direction. The investigation is especially motivated by…
We consider classical dynamical properties of a particle in a constant gravitational force and making specular reflections with circular, elliptic or oval boundaries. The model and collision map are described and a detailed study of the…
This paper aims to provide physics teachers with tools to help deepen the understanding of the laws of electromagnetism. The fundamental contributions of our proposal are: a) to use quotes from mythical characters in the history of science…
This article is a contribution to the study of superintegrable Hamiltonian systems with magnetic fields on the three-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}_3$ in quantum mechanics. In contrast to the growing interest in complex…
The space of n (ordered) points on the projective line, modulo automorphisms of the line, is one of the most important and classical examples of an invariant theory quotient, and is one of the first examples given in any course. Generators…
Gradient plasticity theory proposed initially by Aifantis and co-workers has proven very useful in problems dealing with material heterogeneity and material instabilities. Although it has been used successfully in many applications by many…
A first-order elliptic-hyperbolic system in extended projective space is shown to possess strong solutions to a natural class of Guderley-Morawetz-Keldysh problems on a typical domain.
We consider here a generalization of a well known discrete dynamical system produced by the bisection of reflection angles that are constructed recursively between two lines in the Euclidean plane. It is shown that similar properties of…
In 1945 Einstein concluded that [1]: 'The present theory of relativity is based on a division of physical reality into a metric field (gravitation) on the one hand, and into an electromagnetic field and matter on the other hand. In reality…
The paper intends to lay out the first steps towards constructing a unified framework to understand the symplectic and spectral theory of finite dimensional integrable Hamiltonian systems. While it is difficult to know what the best…
In this paper, we study the theory of second gradient electromagnetostatics as the static version of second gradient electrodynamics. The theory of second gradient electrodynamics is a linear generalization of higher order of classical…
We study finite dimensional vector spaces over fields of elliptic functions equipped with two commuting aotomorphisms \sigma and \tau induced by isogenies of relatively prime orders. We give a structure theorem for such objects, that…
Starting from the generalised London equations, which include a gravitomagnetic term, the gravitational and the electromagnetic properties of superconductors are derived. A phenomenological synthesis of those properties is proposed.
