In this paper, we develop a general study of contributions at infinity of Bochner-Weitzenb\"ock-type formulas on asymptotically flat manifolds, inspired by Witten's proof of the positive mass theorem. As an application, we show that similar…

Lie derivatives of various geometrical and physical quantities define symmetries and conformal symmetries in general relativity. Thus we obtain motions, collineations, conformal motions and conformal collineations. These symmetries are used…

We provide a general contractibility criterion for subsets of Riemannian metrics on the disc. For instance, this result applies to the space of metrics that have positive Gauss curvature and make the boundary circle convex (or geodesic).…

We prove global hyperbolicity of spacetimes under generic regularity conditions on the metric. We then show that these spacetimes are timelike and null geodesically complete if the gradient of the lapse and the extrinsic curvature $K$ are…

This paper examines the issue of the existence and nature of time-like geodesics in asymptotically flat spacetimes and proposes a novel generalized topological criterion for the existence of time-like geodesics. Its validity is proved using…

Let $X$ be a non-singular compact K\"ahler manifold, endowed with an effective divisor $D= \sum (1-\beta_k) Y_k$ having simple normal crossing support, and satisfying $\beta_k \in (0,1)$. The natural objects one has to consider in order to…

We classify all spacetimes with a closed rank-2 conformal Killing-Yano tensor. They give a generalization of Kerr-NUT-de Sitter spacetimes. The Einstein condition is explicitly solved and written as an indefinite integral. It is…

The main object of the present paper is to study the geometric properties of a generalized Roter type semi-Riemannian manifold, which arose in the way of generalization to find the form of the Riemann-Christoffel curvature tensor $R$. Again…

The causality structure of two-dimensional manifolds with degenerate metrics is analysed in terms of global solutions of the massless wave equation. Certain novel features emerge. Despite the absence of a traditional Lorentzian Cauchy…

The Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity on a null surface is established in the teleparallel geometry. No particular gauge conditons on the tetrads are imposed, such as the time gauge condition. By means of a 3+1 decomposition the…

There are various ways of defining the Wick rotation in a gravitational context. There are good arguments to view it as an analytic continuation of the metric, instead of the coordinates. We focus on one very general definition and argue…

A recent analysis of real general relativity based on multisymplectic techniques has shown that boundary terms may occur in the constraint equations, unless some boundary conditions are imposed. This paper studies the corresponding form of…

We obtain generalized Wintgen inequalities for submanifolds in conformally flat manifolds. We give some applications for submanifolds in a Riemannian manifold of quasi-constant curvature. Equality cases are also considered.

Algebraic geometry, although little explored in signal processing, provides tools that are very convenient for investigating generic properties in a wide range of applications. Generic properties are properties that hold "almost…

We investigate the topologies of random geometric complexes built over random points sampled on Riemannian manifolds in the so-called "thermodynamic" regime. We prove the existence of universal limit laws for the topologies; namely, the…

For a given ergodic measure preserving transformation T of a standard measure space each finite labelled partition defines an ergodic stationary process. There is a complete metric on the space of partitions which is separable. Various…

We introduce a class of hermitian metrics with {\em Lee potential}, that generalize the notion of l.c.K. metrics with potential introduced in \cite{ov} and show that in the classical examples of Calabi and Eckmann of complex structures on…

We show that the energy-momentum equations arising from inner variations whose Lagrangian satisfies a generic symmetry condition are generically ill-posed. This is done by proving that there exists a subclass of Lipschitz solutions that are…

In this paper, as an application of Zalcman's lemma in $\mathbb{C}^n$, we give a sufficient condition for normality of holomorphic functions of several complex variables, which generalizes previous known one-dimensional criterion of A.J.…

General relativity differs from other forces in nature in that it can be made to disappear locally. This is the essence of the equivalence principle. In general relativity the equivalence principle is implemented using differential…
