The purpose of this paper is to prove the equivalence$-$under rotations of distinct terms$-$of different forms of a determinantal equation that appears in the studies of wave propagation in Hookean solids, in the context of the Christoffel…
A generalized continuity equation extending the ordinary continuity equation has been found using quanternions. It is shown to be compatible with Dirac, Schrodinger, Klein-Gordon and diffusion equations. This generalized equation is Lorentz…
A general framework for the description of classic wave propagation is introduced. This relies on a cone structure $C$ determined by an intrinsic space $\Sigma$ of velocities of propagation (point, direction and time-dependent) and an…
The Klein-Gordon equation describes the wave-like behavior of spinless particles since it is Lorentz invariant. While it seemed initially ripe for explaining the electronic structure of the hydrogen atom, the lack of a unconditional…
We consider the classical theory of a gravitational field with spin 2 and non-vanishing (Pauli-Fierz) mass in flat spacetime, coupled to electromagnetism and point particles. We establish the law of light propagation and calculate the…
We study the positivity and regularity of solutions to the fractional porous medium equations $u_t+(-\Delta)^su^m=0$ in $(0,\infty)\times\Omega$, for $m>1$ and $s\in (0,1)$ and with Dirichlet boundary data $u=0$ in…
This paper focuses on the well-posedness (or lack thereof) of three-dimensional time-harmonic wave propagation problems modeled by the Helmholtz equation. It is well-known that if the problem is set in bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary…
This paper is devoted to study the wave propagation and its stability for a class of two-component discrete diffusive systems. We first establish the existence of positive monotone monostable traveling wave fronts. Then, applying the…
We consider the Klein-Gordon equation on a static spacetime and minimally coupled to a static electromagnetic potential. We show that it is essentially self-adjoint on $C_{\mathrm{c}}^\infty$. We discuss various distinguished inverses and…
The graviton propagation in an asymmetric background is studied. The background is a configuration in the six-dimensional Salam-Sezgin model, in which a 3-form H-field turned on [JHEP 0910(2009)086]. The compact dimensions form a…
We prove that along with the Einstein flow, any small perturbations of an $n(n \geq 4)$-dimensional, non-compact negative Einstein space with some "non-positive Weyl tensor" lead to a unique and global solution, and the solution will be…
We prove global in time dispersion for the wave and the Klein-Gordon equation inside the Friedlander domain by taking full advantage of the space-time localization of caustics and a precise estimate of the number of waves that may cross at…
The transmission eigenvalue problem is a system of two second-order elliptic equations of two unknowns equipped with the Cauchy data on the boundary. In this work, we establish the Weyl law for the eigenvalues and the completeness of the…
We consider the propagation of sine-Gordon kinks in a planar curved strip as a model of nonlinear wave propagation in curved wave guides. The homogeneous Neumann transverse boundary conditions, in the curvilinear coordinates, allow to…

Relying on the hyperboloidal foliation method, we establish the nonlinear stability of the ground state of the $U(1)$ standard model of electroweak interactions. This amounts to establishing a global-in-time theory for the initial value…
The Cauchy problem for quadratic Klein-Gordon systems is considered in two spatial dimensions and higher under a suitable non-resonance condition on the masses, including the main case of equal masses. A global well-posedness and scattering…
