We discuss a gauge choice which allows us to avoid the introduction of artificial timelike outer boundaries in numerical studies of test fields based on a 3+1 decomposition of asymptotically flat background spacetimes. The main idea is to…
Entanglement has become central for the characterization of quantum matter both in and out of equilibrium. In a dynamical context entanglement exhibits universal linear temporal growth in generic systems, which stems from the underlying…
We study the Einstein-Yang-Mills system in both the Lorenz and harmonic gauges, where the Yang-Mills fields are valued in any arbitrary Lie algebra $\cal G$, associated to any compact Lie group $G$. This gives a system of hyperbolic partial…
In these lecture notes I review the theory of the non--linear evolution of cosmological perturbations in a self--gravitating collisionless medium, with vanishing vorticity. The problem is first analyzed in the context of the Newtonian…
We study a class of two-dimensional non-linear Schr\"odinger equations with point-like singular perturbation and Hartree non-linearity. The point-like singular perturbation of the free Laplacian induces appropriate perturbed Sobolev spaces…
We present a generalization of Kruzkov's theory to manifolds. Nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws are posed on a differential (n+1)-manifold, called a spacetime, and the flux field is defined as a field of n-forms depending on a…
We determine exact and analytic solutions of the gravitational field equations in Einstein-aether scalar model field with a Bianchi I background space. In particular, we consider nonlinear interactions of the scalar field with the aether…
We study the nonlinear stability of the $(3+1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime as a solution of the Einstein vacuum equation. Similarly to our previous work on the stability of cosmological black holes, we construct the solution of the…
It has been shown in [Yang-Yu 2019] that general large solutions to the Cauchy problem for the Maxwell-Klein-Gordon system (MKG) in the Minkowski space $\mathbb{R}^{1+3}$ decay like linear solutions. One hence can define the associated…
The Cauchy-Kowalevski theorem is applied to the solutions of Einstein's equations and to cosmology. Three fundamental requirements of the theorem: the use of analytic series; the existence of the boundary surfaces; and the setting of the…
In this paper we demonstrate for the first time that it is possible to solve numerically the Cauchy problem for the linearisation of the general conformal field equations near spacelike infinity, which is only well-defined in Friedrich's…
We study the cosmological evolution of the field equations in the context of Einstein-Aether cosmology by including a scalar field in a spatially flat Friedmann--Lema\^{\i}tre--Robertson--Walker spacetime. Our analysis is separated into two…
Using a generalization of the Madelung transformation, we derive the hydrodynamic representation of the Klein-Gordon-Einstein equations in the weak field limit. We consider a complex self-interacting scalar field with a $\lambda|\varphi|^4$…
False vacuum decay in field theory may be formulated as a boundary value problem in Euclidean space. In a previous work, we studied its solution in single scalar field theories with quadratic gravity and used it to find obstructions to…
The nonlinear instability of anti-de Sitter spacetime has recently been established with the striking result that generic initial data collapses to form black holes. This outcome suggests that confined matter generically collapses, and that…
We consider a system representing self-gravitating balls of dust in an expanding Universe. It is demonstrated that one can prescribe data for such a system at infinity and evolve it backward in time without the development of shocks or…
We consider the global evolution problem for a model which couples together a nonlinear wave equation and a nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation, and was independently introduced by LeFloch and Y. Ma and by Q. Wang. By revisiting the…
Here we prove a global existence theorem for the solutions of the semi-linear wave equation with critical non-linearity admitting a positive definite Hamiltonian. Formulating a parametrix for the wave equation in a globally hyperbolic…
A new model of nonlinear electrodynamics with a dimensional parameter $\beta$ coupled to gravity is considered. We show that an accelerated expansion of the universe takes place if the nonlinear electromagnetic field is the source of the…
We consider general relativity with cosmological constant minimally coupled to electromagnetic field and assume that four-dimensional space-time manifold is the warped product of two surfaces with Lorentzian and Euclidean signature metrics.…
