We report on a numerical study of the spherically symmetric collapse of a self-gravitating massless scalar field. Earlier results of Choptuik(1992, 1994) are confirmed. The field either disperses to infinity or collapses to a black hole,…
We consider a general two-component plasma of classical pointlike charges $+e$ ($e$ is say the elementary charge) and $-Z e$ (valency $Z=1,2,\ldots$), living on the surface of a sphere of radius $R$. The system is in thermal equilibrium at…
The study of spherical harmonics in superspace, introduced in [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 40 (2007) 7193-7212], is further elaborated. A detailed description of spherical harmonics of degree k is given in terms of bosonic and fermionic…
In this work, we derive rigorous and universal bounds on the geometric characteristics of black holes in asymptotically flat spacetimes under assumptions that weak energy condition is satisfied. We prove that the event horizon radius, the…
We study the concentration problem on compact two-point homogeneous spaces of finite expansions of eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator using large sieve methods. We derive upper bounds for concentration in terms of the maximum…
Supermassive black holes (BHs) obey tight scaling relations between their mass and their host galaxy properties such as total stellar mass, velocity dispersion, and potential well depth. This has led to the development of self-regulated…
Atomically-thin materials based on transition metal dichalcogenides and graphene offer a promising avenue for unlocking the mechanisms underlying the spin Hall effect (SHE) in heterointerfaces. Here, we develop a microscopic theory of the…
The pseudospin symmetry (PSS) has been studied extensively for bound states. Recently we justified rigorously that the PSS in single particle resonant states is exactly conserved when the attractive scalar and repulsive vector potentials of…
After the discovery of the Higgs boson and the rather precise measurement of all electroweak boson's masses the local structure of the electroweak symmetry breaking potential is already quite well established. However, despite being a key…
A solution to the linear Boltzmann equation satisfies an energy bound, which reflects a natural fact: The energy of particles in a finite volume is bounded in time by the energy of particles initially occupying the volume augmented by the…
Motivated by a class of near BPS Skyrme models introduced by Adam, S\'anchez-Guill\'en and Wereszczy\'nski, the following variant of the harmonic map problem is introduced: a map $\phi:(M,g)\rightarrow (N,h)$ between Riemannian manifolds is…
After the discovery that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are ubiquitous at the center of stellar spheroids and that their mass Mbh, in the range 10^6-10^9 Msun, is tightly related to global properties of the host stellar system, the idea…
We establish a local topological obstruction to the simultaneous flattening of Berry curvature in spin--orbit-coupled Bose--Einstein condensates (SOC BECs), which remains valid even when the global Chern number vanishes. For a generic…
We present a supersymmetric description of the quantum Hall effect (QHE) in graphene. The noninteracting system is supersymmetric separately at the so-called K and K' points of the Brillouin zone corners. Its essential consequence is that…
Recent numerical simulations have found that the Cauchy horizon inside spherical charged black holes, when perturbed nonlinearly by a self-gravitating, minimally-coupled, massless, spherically-symmetric scalar field, turns into a null weak…
In the past decades, the central limit theorem (CLT) has been generalized to non-Euclidean data spaces. Some years ago, it was found that for some random variables on the circle, the sample Fr\'echet mean fluctuates around the population…
In the present article the classical problem of electromagnetic scattering by a single homogeneous sphere is revisited. Main focus is the study of the scattering behavior as a function of the material contrast and the size parameters for…
Complex bands $\vec{k}^{\perp}(E)$ in a semiconductor crystal, along a general direction $\vec{n}$, can be computed by casting Schr\"odinger's equation as a generalized polynomial eigenvalue problem. When working with primitive lattice…
We present a unifying empirical description of the structural and kinematic properties of all spheroids embedded in dark matter halos. We find that the stellar spheroidal components of galaxy clusters, which we call cluster spheroids…
Recently, it was hypothesized that some supermassive black holes (SMBHs) may couple to the cosmic expansion. The mass of these SMBHs increase as the cubic power of the cosmic scale factor, leaving the energy density of the SMBHs unchanged…
