We show that globally and regularly hyperbolic future geodesically incomplete isotropic universes, except for the standard all-encompassing `big crunch', can accommodate singularities of only one kind, namely, those having a non-integrable…

We study domain wall solutions in d=5, N=2 supergravity coupled to a single hypermultiplet whose moduli space is described by certain inhomogeneous, toric ESD manifolds constructed recently by Calderbank and Singer. Upon gauging a generic…

We use the $4-\epsilon$ expansion to search for fixed points corresponding to $2+1$ dimensional $\mathcal{N}$=1 Wess-Zumino models of $N_{\Phi}$ scalar superfields interacting through a cubic superpotential. In the $N_{\Phi}=3$ case, we…

The manifold $\mathcal{M}$ of star-shaped curves in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is considered via the theory of connections on vector bundles, and cyclic $\mathcal{D}$-modules. The appropriate notion of an "integral curve" (i.e. certain admissible…

We study the spectral theory and the resolvent of the vector field generating the frame flow of closed hyperbolic 3-dimensional manifolds on some family of anisotropic Sobolev spaces. We show the existence of a spectral gap and prove…

We consider the dynamics of vector fields on three-manifolds which are constrained to lie within a plane field, such as occurs in nonholonomic dynamics. On compact manifolds, such vector fields force dynamics beyond that of a gradient flow,…

The second part of Hilbert's 16th problem concerns determining the maximum number $H(m)$ of limit cycles that a planar polynomial vector field of degree $m$ can exhibit. A natural extension to the three-dimensional space is to study the…

Unless another thing is stated one works in the $C^\infty$ category and manifolds have empty boundary. Let $X$ and $Y$ be vector fields on a manifold $M$. We say that $Y$ tracks $X$ if $[Y,X]=fX$ for some continuous function $f\colon…

The notion of sectional-hyperbolicity is a weakened form of hyperbolicity introduced for vector fields in order to understand the dynamical behavior of certain higher-dimensional systems such as the multidimensional Lorenz attractor. In…

A class of surfaces-graphs in a Riemannian 3-space with a prescribed projection of one field of principal directions onto a surface $\Pi$ is considered. A problem of determination of such surfaces when both principal curvatures are given…

Let $\Delta$ be a $g_2$-minimal normal 3-pseudomanifold. A vertex in $\Delta$ whose link is not a sphere is called a singular vertex. When $\Delta$ contains at most two singular vertices, its combinatorial characterization is known [9]. In…

Using the idea of regularisation of singularities due to the variability of the fundamental constants in cosmology we study the cyclic universe models. We find two models of oscillating and non-singular mass density and pressure…

The subject of the paper is the geometry and topology of cosmological spacetimes and vector bundles thereon, which are used to model physical fields propagating in the universe. Global hyperbolicity and factorization properties of the…

Flows on surfaces are one of the most fundamental and classical objects in dynamical systems, and are studied from various areas (e.g. integrable systems, differential equations, fluid mechanics). Though hyperbolic flows and recurrent flows…

A relationship between real, complex, and quaternionic vector fields on spheres is given by using a relationship between the corresponding standard inner products. The number of linearly independent complex vector fields on the standard…

We provide a corrected proof of a theorem of A. Bellis on strong stable sets in the unit tangent bundle of certain hyperbolic surfaces. The theorem states that, for vectors whose geodesic rays encounter arbitrarily short closed geodesics,…

We study the evolution of homogeneous and isotropic, flat cosmological models within the general scalar-tensor theory of gravity with arbitrary coupling function and potential and scrutinize its limit to general relativity. Using the…

The recent re-evaulation of the peculiar velocity field outside the Local Supercluster (Dekel et al. 1999, ApJ 522) has permitted a re-examination of the origins of the peculiar velocity field within the Local Supercluster using the Mark…

In this paper we consider families of holomorphic maps defined on subsets of the complex plane, and show that the technique developed in \cite{LSvS1} to treat unfolding of critical relations can also be used to deal with cases where the…

The $\gamma$-vector is an important enumerative invariant of a flag simplicial homology sphere. It has been conjectured by Gal that this vector is nonnegative for every such sphere $\Delta$ and by Reiner, Postnikov and Williams that it…
