The phenomenon of quantum vacuum polarization in the presence of a gravitational field is well understood and is expected to have a physical reality, but studies of its back-reaction on the dynamics of spacetime are practically non-existent…
We study the solution to the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations arising from a sum of Dirac masses in a particular co-rotating configuration. This configuration consists of a polygonal vortex crystal with or without a…
In this paper we study cosmological solutions to the Einstein--Euler equations. We first establish the future stability of nonlinear perturbations of a class of homogeneous solutions to the relativistic Euler equations on fixed linearly…
Calculations of the ground state of inhomogeneous many-electron systems involve a solving of the Poisson equation for Coulomb potential and the Schroedinger equation for single-particle orbitals. Due to nonlinearity and complexity this set…
Cylindrically-symmetric solutions in Conformal Gravity are investigated and several new solutions are presented and discussed. Among them, a family of vacuum solutions, generalizations of the Melvin solution and cosmic strings of the…
We solve the oscillation stability problem for the Urysohn sphere, an analog of the distortion problem for the Hilbert space in the context of the Urysohn universal metric space. This is achieved by solving a purely combinatorial problem…
In this short paper we show a sufficient condition for the solvability of the Dirichlet problem at infinity in Riemannian cones (as defined below).This condition is related to a celebrated result of Milnor that classifies parabolic…
This paper is concerned with the Floating Body Problem of S. Ulam: the existence of objects other than the sphere, which can float in a liquid in any orientation. Despite recent results of F. Wegner pointing towards an affirmative answer, a…
In this paper, we propose a general mechanism for the existence of quasicrystals in spatially extended systems (partial differential equations with Euclidean symmetry). We argue that the existence of quasicrystals with higher order…
The semiclassical approximation for electron wave-packets in crystals leads to equations which can be derived from a Lagrangian or, under suitable regularity conditions, in a Hamiltonian framework. In the plane, these issues are studied %in…
We construct the electron star solution in asymptotically global AdS spacetime, and investigate its stability properties, both locally under perturbations and globally with respect to the Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole and thermal AdS…
We consider a closed cohomogeneity one Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g) $ of dimension $n\geq 3$. If the Ricci curvature of $M$ is positive, we prove the existence of infinite nodal solutions for equations of the form $-\Delta_g u + \lambda u =…
The condition for pressure isotropy is reduced to a recurrence equation with variable, rational coefficients of order three. We prove that this difference equation can be solved in general. Consequently we can find an exact solution to the…
we consider a system with homoclinic orbit, We decompose the corresponding variational equation on the space of solutions and provide sufficient conditions for the permanency of homoclinic in the space of $C^1$ vector fields. We also…
In the recent papers with Masaki Kashiwara, the author introduced the notion of symmetric crystals and presented the Lascoux-Leclerc-Thibon-Ariki type conjectures for the affine Hecke algebras of type $B$. Namely, we conjectured that…
While the Born elastic stability criteria are well-known for cubic crystals, there is some confusion in the literature about the form it should take for lower symmetry crystal classes. We present here closed form necessary and sufficient…
Classical solutions of the spherically symmetric Nordstr\"{o}m-Vlasov system are shown to exist globally in time. The main motivation for investigating the mathematical properties of the Nordstr\"{o}m-Vlasov system is its relation to the…

We prove for generalisations of quasi-homogeneous $n$-body problems with center of mass zero and $n$-body problems in spaces of negative constant Gaussian curvature that if the masses and rotation are fixed, there exists, for every order of…
We show that the Lagrangian of classical mechanics on a Riemannian manifold of bounded geometry carries a periodic solution of motion with rescribed energy, provided the potential satisfies an asymptotic growth condition, changes sign, and…
