We generalise the notion of a Killing superalgebra, which arises in the physics literature on supergravity, to general dimension, signature and choice of spinor module and Dirac current. We also allow for Lie algebras as well as…
We develop a new framework for the study of generalized Killing spinors, where generalized Killing spinor equations, possibly with constraints, can be formulated equivalently as systems of partial differential equations for a polyform…
Inspired by the recent work of Physicists Hertog-Horowitz-Maeda, we prove two stability results for compact Riemannian manifolds with nonzero parallel spinors. Our first result says that Ricci flat metrics which also admits nonzero parallel…
The intention of this article is to give a flavour of some global problems in General Relativity. We cover a variety of topics, some of them related to the fundamental concept of 'Cauchy hypersurfaces': (1) structure of globally hyperbolic…
We construct a global geometric model for the bosonic sector and Killing spinor equations of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity coupled to a chiral non-linear sigma model and a Spin$^{c}_0$ structure. The model involves a…

We prove that global hyperbolicity is stable in the interval topology on the spacetime metrics. We also prove that every globally hyperbolic spacetime admits a Cauchy hypersurface which remains Cauchy under small perturbations of the…
The standard theory of Banach spaces is built upon the notions of vector space, triangle inequality and Cauchy completeness. Here we propose a `hyperbolic' variant of this `elliptic' framework where general linear combinations are replaced…
In this paper we study solitons invariant with respect to the flow generated by a complete Killing vector field in a ambient Riemannian manifold. A special case occurs when the ambient manifold is the Riemannian product $(\mathbb{R} \times…
We establish necessary conditions for the existence of solutions to a class of semilinear hyperbolic problems on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds, extending some nonexistence results for the wave operator with power nonlinearity on…
We investigate the compact submanifolds in Riemannian space forms of nonnegative sectional curvature that satisfy a lower bound on the Ricci curvature, that bound depending solely on the length of the mean curvature vector of the immersion.…
We study $n$-dimensional Ricci flows with non-negative Ricci curvature where the curvature is pointwise controlled by the scalar curvature and bounded by $C/t$, starting at metric cones which are Reifenberg outside the tip. We show that any…
The Einstein evolution equations are studied in a gauge given by a combination of the constant mean curvature and spatial harmonic coordinate conditions. This leads to a coupled quasilinear elliptic--hyperbolic system of evolution…
We develop the theory of Riemann-Hilbert problems necessary for the results in part one of this series of papers. In particular, we obtain solutions for a family of non-linear Riemann-Hilbert problems through classical contraction…
The holonomy group of an (n+2)-dimensional simply-connected, indecomposable but non-irreducible Lorentzian manifold (M,h) is contained in the parabolic group $(\mathbb{R} \times SO(n))\ltimes \mathbb{R}^n$. The main ingredient of such a…
We give a complete local classification of all Riemannian 3-manifolds $(M,g)$ admitting a nonvanishing Killing vector field $T$. We then extend this classification to timelike Killing vector fields on Lorentzian 3-manifolds, which are…
The local motion of a null curve in Minkowski 3-space induces an evolution equation for its Lorentz invariant curvature. Special motions are constructed whose induced evolution equations are the members of the KdV hierarchy. The null curves…
We study the Cauchy problem for multi-dimensional compressible radiation hydrodynamics equations with vacuum. First, we present some sufficient conditions on the blow-up of smooth solutions in multi-dimensional space. Then, we obtain the…
The resolution of a very large class of linear and non-linear, stationary and evolutive partial differential problems in the half-space (or similar) under the slip boundary condition is reduced here to that of the corresponding results for…
We address some aspects of four dimensional chiral N=1 supersymmetric theories on which the scalar manifold is described by K\"ahler geometry and can further be viewed as K\"ahler-Ricci soliton generating a one-parameter family of K\"ahler…
