In certain circumstances tools of Riemannian geometry are sufficient to address questions arising in the more general Finslerian context. We show that one such instance presents itself in the characterisation of geodesics in Randers spaces…
We formulate a theory combining the principles of a scalar-tensor gravity and Rastall's proposal of a violation of the usual conservation laws. We obtain a scalar-tensor theory with two parameters $\omega$ and $\lambda$, the latter…
A well-known and interesting family of sub-Riemannian space are the systems involving two balls rolling against each other without slipping or twisting. In this note, we show how the sub-Riemannian geodesics of these space, when the two…
Recent work by Serfaty and Serra give a formula for the velocity of the free boundary of the obstacle problem at regular points [Serfaty-Serra 2018], and much older work by King, Lacey, and Vazquez gives an example of a singular free…
Serrin's symmetry theorem shows that the classical overdetermined torsion problem forces the domain to be a ball. Extending this rigidity statement to merely Lipschitz (and more generally rough) domains in the weak formulation has been a…
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…
The motion of a massive particle in Rindler space has been studied and obtained the geodesics of motion. The orbits in Rindler space are found to be quite different from that of Schwarzschild case. The paths are not like the Perihelion…
The boundary-value problem for the perturbation of an electric potential by a homogeneous anisotropic dielectric sphere in vacuum was formulated. The total potential in the exterior region was expanded in series of radial polynomials and…
In this work we consider the boundary blow-up problem $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \Delta u = f(u) & \hbox{in } B\\ \ \ u=+\infty & \hbox{on }\partial B \end{array} \right. $$ where $B$ stands for the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^N$ and $f$ is…

We analyze strict positivity at the boundary for nonnegative solutions of Robin problems in general (non-smooth) domains, e.g. open sets with rectifiable topological boundaries having finite Hausdorff measure. This question was raised by…
