We show the optimal $C^{1,1}$ regularity of geodesics in nef and big cohomology class on K\"ahler manifolds away from the non-K\"ahler locus, assuming sufficiently regular initial data. As a special case, we prove the $C^{1,1}$ regularity…

On the occasion of Sir Roger Penrose's 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, we review the singularity theorems of General Relativity, as well as their recent extension to Lorentzian metrics of low regularity. The latter is motivated by the quest to…

We give a simplified proof of regularizing effects for first-order Hamilton-Jacobi Equations of the form $u\_t+H(x,t,Du)=0$ in $\R^N\times(0,+\infty)$ in the case where the idea is to first estimate $u\_t$. As a consequence, we have a…

We analyze stability of conservative solutions of the Cauchy problem on the line for the (integrated) Hunter-Saxton (HS) equation. Generically, the solutions of the HS equation develop singularities with steep gradients while preserving…

The classical singularity theorems of R. Penrose and S. Hawking from the 1960s show that, given a pointwise energy condition (and some causality as well as initial assumptions), spacetimes cannot be geodesically complete. Despite their…

In the category of metrics with conical singularities along a smooth divisor with angle in $(0, 2\pi)$, we show that locally defined weak solutions ($C^{1,1}-$solutions) to the K\"ahler-Einstein equations actually possess maximum…
