We derive geometric formulas for the mass of asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds using coordinate horospheres. As an application, we obtain a new rigidity result of hyperbolic space: if a complete asymptotically hyperbolic manifold has…
The notion that the geometry of our space-time is not only a static background but can be physically dynamic is well established in general relativity. Geometry can be described as shaped by the presence of matter, where such shaping…
We single out a notion of staticity which applies to any domain in hyperbolic space whose boundary is a non-compact totally umbilical hypersurface. For (time-symmetric) initial data sets modeled at infinity on any of these latter examples,…
We consider non-linear gravitational models with a multidimensional warped product geometry. Particular attention is payed to models with quadratic scalar curvature terms. It is shown that for certain parameter ranges, the extra dimensions…
A new approach in the Newtonian space and time, based upon the assumption that inertial mass is the quantitative measure of the matter. It has been shown that in case of a special physical system, a supposed matter transfer may reproduce…
We use the inverse mean curvature flow to establish Penrose-type inequalities for time-symmetric Einstein-Maxwell initial data sets which can be suitably embedded as a hypersurface in Euclidean space $\mathbb R^{n+1}$, $n\geq 3$. In…
In this paper, we prove the spacetime positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat spin initial data sets with arbitrary ends and a non-compact boundary. Moreover, we demonstrate a quantitative shielding theorem, subject to the tilted…
We use non-perturbative U-duality symmetries of type II strings to construct new vacuum solutions. In some ways this generalizes the F-theory vacuum constructions. We find the possibilities of new vacuum constructions are very limited.…
Since the early days of the theory of electromagnetism and of gravity the idea of space, then space-time, as a sort of physical continuum hovered the scientific community. Actually general relativity shows the strong similarity that exists…
We describe how the Schoen-Yau proof of the positive mass theorem can be extended to arbitrary dimensions. To overcome the problem of singularities, we propose a new inductive scheme. To carry out the inductive step, we use a combination of…
This is the first of the two articles where we determine the higher smooth surgery structure sets of complex projective spaces (up to some extension problems) and the forgetful map to their topological versions in low dimensions. In this…
We study chiral models in one spatial dimension, both static and periodically driven. We demonstrate that their topological properties may be read out through the long time limit of a bulk observable, the mean chiral displacement. The…
A two-dimensional nonlinear gauge theory that can be proposed for generalization to higher dimensions is derived by means of cohomological arguments.
This work considers positive energy theorems in asymptotically, locally AdS spacetimes. Particular attention is given to spacetimes where conformal infinity has compact, Einstein cross-sections admitting Killing or parallel spinors; a…
We define gravitational mass in asymptotically de Sitter space-times with compactified dimension. It was shown that the mass can be negative for space-time with matter spreading beyond the cosmological horizon scale or large outward…
A positive mass theorem for General Relativity Theory is proved. The proof is 4-dimensional in nature, and relies completely on arguments pertaining to causal structure, the basic idea being that positive energy-density focuses null…
It is proposed a new mechanism for the phenomenon of topological mass generation in three spacetime dimensions as the result of the interference of two opposite massless chiral modes. This mechanism, already used to produce the massive…
A higher dimensional modified gravity theory with an action that includes dimensionally continued Euler-Poincar\'e forms up to second order in curvatures is considered. The variational field equations are derived. Matter in the universe at…
We extend the Wald cosmic no-hair theorem to a general class of scalar-tensor nonminimally coupled theories of gravity where ordinary matter is also present in the form of a perfect fluid. We give a set of conditions for obtaining a de…
Topological quantum field theories containing matter fields are constructed by twisting $N=2$ supersymmetric quantum field theories. It is shown that $N=2$ chiral (antichiral) multiplets lead to topological sigma models while $N=2$ twisted…
