The field equations for Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity in $D$ dimensions are reduced to an effective one-dimensional system under the influence of exponential potentials. Various cases where exact solutions can be found are explored. With…

We show that positively $1$--homogeneous rank one convex functions are convex at $0$ and at matrices of rank one. The result is a special case of an abstract convexity result that we establish for positively $1$--homogeneous directionally…

Let $\mathcal{H}_{n,k}(\Sigma)$ be the space of degree $n\geq 1$ holomorphic maps from a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma $ to $\mathbb{C}P^k$. In the case $\Sigma=S^2$ and $n=1$, the $L^2$ metric on $\mathcal{H}_{1,k}(S^2)$ was computed…

We construct the most general local effective actions for Goldstone boson fields associated with spontaneous symmetry breakdown from a group $G$ to a subgroup $H$. In a preceding paper, it was shown that any $G$-invariant term in the…

Since the work of Ornstein and Weiss in 1987 (J. Analyse Math. 48 (1987)) it has been understood that the natural category for classical ergodic theory would be probability measure preserving actions of discrete amenable groups. A…

In this paper, we examine Lie group actions on moduli spaces (sets themselves built as quotients by group actions) and their fixed points. We show that when the Lie group is compact and connected, we obtain a linear constraint. This…

Let $X=G/\Gamma$ be the quotient of a semisimple Lie group $G$ by its non-cocompact arithmetic lattice. Let $H$ be a reductive algebraic subgroup of $G$ acting on $X$. We give several equivalent algebraic conditions on $H$ for the existence…

We study the action of Bogoliubov transformations on admissible generalized one-particle density matrices arising in Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory. We show that the orbits of this action are reductive homogeneous spaces, and we give…

The anti-self-dual projection of the spin connections of certain four-dimensional Einstein manifolds can be Abelian in nature. These configurations signify bundle reductions. By a theorem of Kobayashi and Nomizu such a process is predicated…

Recently, the possibility of evading Lovelock's theorem at $d=4$, via a singular redefinition of the dimensionless coupling of the Gauss-Bonnet term, has been very extensively discussed in the cosmological context. The term is added as a…

We study actions of groups by homeomorphisms on $\mathbf{R}$ (or an interval) that are minimal, have solvable germs at $\pm \infty$ and contain a pair of elements of a certain type. We call such actions coherent. We establish that such an…

The one-loop effective action for 4-dimensional gauged supergravity with negative cosmological constant, is investigated in space-times with compact hyperbolic spatial section. The explicit expansion of the effective action as a power…

We classify the polar actions on the complex hyperbolic plane up to orbit equivalence. Apart from the trivial and transitive polar actions, there are five polar actions of cohomogeneity one and four polar actions of cohomogeneity two.

The Einstein's linear equation of a small perturbation in a space-time with a homogeneous section of low dimension, is studied. For every harmonic mode of the horizon, there are two solutions which behave differently at large distance $r$.…

We consider self-interacting scalar fields coupled to gravity. Two classes of exact solutions to Einstein's equations are obtained: the first class corresponds to the minimal coupling, the second one to the conformal coupling. One of the…

The homogeneous causal action principle on a compact domain of momentum space is introduced. The connection to causal fermion systems is worked out. Existence and compactness results are reviewed. The Euler-Lagrange equations are derived…

We construct an effective action for gravity in which all homogeneous solutions are nonsingular. In particular, there is neither a big bang nor a big crunch. The action is a higher derivative modification of Einstein's theory constructed in…

We prove the existence of complete cohomogeneity one triaxial K\"ahler-Einstein metrics in dimension four under an action of the Euclidean group $E(2)$. We also demonstrate local existence of Ricci flat K\"ahler metrics of a related type…
