The paper is concerned with conservative solutions to the nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt} - c(u)\big(c(u) u_x\big)_x = 0$. For an open dense set of $C^3$ initial data, we prove that the solution is piecewise smooth in the $t$-$x$ plane,…
In this paper we show how quantum corrections, although perturbatively small, may play an important role in the analysis of the existence of some classical models. This, in fact, appears to be the case of static, uniform--density models of…
Recent progress on the complete set of solutions of two dimensional classical string theory in any curved spacetime is reviewed. When the curvature is smooth the string solutions are deformed folded string solutions as compared to flat…
We study the cosmological constant problem in a three-dimensional N=2 supergravity theory with gauge group SU[2]_{global}xU[1]_{local}. The model we consider is known to admit string-like configurations, the so-called semi-local cosmic…

We develop KAM theory close to an elliptic fixed point for quasi-linear Hamiltonian perturbations of the dispersive Degasperis-Procesi equation on the circle. The overall strategy in KAM theory for quasi-linear PDEs is based on Nash-Moser…
We consider an exotic `compactification' of spacetime in which there are two infinite extra dimensions, using a global string instead of a domain wall. By having a negative cosmological constant we prove the existence of a nonsingular…
We write down an asymptotic expression for action coordinates in an integrable Hamiltonian system with a focus-focus equilibrium. From the singularity in the actions we deduce that the Arnol'd determinant grows infinitely large near the…
Solutions of matrix quantum mechanics have been shown to describe time dependent backgrounds in the holographically dual two dimensional closed string theory. We review some recent work dealing with non-trivial space-times which arise in…
Invariant manifolds are of fundamental importance to the qualitative understanding of dynamical systems. In this work, we explore and extend MacKay's converse KAM condition to obtain a sufficient condition for the nonexistence of invariant…
We develop several aspects of the infinite-dimensional Weak KAM theory using a random variables' approach. We prove that the infinite-dimensional cell problem admits a viscosity solution that is a fixed point of the Lax-Oleinik semigroup.…
We construct a perturbation theory for the SU(2) non-linear Sigma-model in 2+1 dimensions using a polynomial, first-order formulation, where the variables are a non-Abelian vector field L_mu (the left SU(2) current), and a non-Abelian…
In this paper we prove an abstract KAM theorem adapted to the Klein Gordon equation on the sphere $\mathbb S^2$ and for the quantum harmonic oscillator on $\mathbb R^2$ with regularizing nonlinearity.
We discuss the interpertation of the $c=1$ matrix model as two-dimensional string theory in a dilaton-black hole background. The nonperturbative formulation of $c=1$ matrix model in terms of an integrable model of nonrelativistic fermions…
We study the positive subharmonic solutions to the second order nonlinear ordinary differential equation \begin{equation*} u'' + q(t) g(u) = 0, \end{equation*} where $g(u)$ has superlinear growth both at zero and at infinity, and $q(t)$ is…
We prove that there is an invariant torus with given Diophantine frequency vector for a class of Hamiltonian systems defined by an integrable large Hamiltonian function with a large non-autonomous Hamiltonian perturbation. As for…

We complement the low-energy gravi-dilaton effective action of string theory with a non-local, general-covariant dilaton potential, and obtain homogeneous solutions describing a non-singular (bouncing-curvature) cosmology. We then compute,…
We prove that exists a Lindstedt series that holds when a Hamiltonian is driven by a perturbation going to infinity. This series appears to be dual to a standard Lindstedt series as it can be obtained by interchanging the role of the…
We prove the existence and multiplicity of periodic solutions of bouncing type for a second-order differential equation with a weak repulsive singularity. Such solutions can be catalogued according to the minimal period and the number of…
