In physical theories, boundary or initial conditions play the role of selecting special situations which can be described by a theory with its general laws. Cosmology has long been suspected to be different in that its fundamental theory…

Penrose et al. investigated the physical incoherence of the spacetime with negative mass via the bending of light. Precise estimates of time-delay of null geodesics were needed and played a pivotal role in their proof. In this paper, we…

This work describes underlying features of the universe such as fundamental constants and cosmological parameters, conservation laws, baryon and lepton asymmetries, etc. in the context of local gauge theories for fundamental forces under…

We consider covariant metric theories of coupled gravity-matter systems satisfying the following two conditions: First, it is assumed that, by a hyperbolic reduction process, a system of first order symmetric hyperbolic partial differential…

Pandres has shown that an enlargement of the covariance group to the group of conservative transformations leads to a richer geometry than that of general relativity. Using orthonormal tetrads as field variables, the fundamental geometric…

Let $(M^3, g, \mathbf{k})$ be a complete asymptotically flat initial data set satisfying the dominant energy condition, and let $m$ denote its ADM mass. The generalized Penrose conjecture asserts that the area of an outermost generalized…

Conserved quantities are obtained and analyzed in the new models with global scale invariance recently proposed. Such models allow for non tivial scalar field potentials and masses for particles, so that the scale symmetry must be broken…

We affirm the rigidity conjecture of the spacetime positive mass theorem in dimensions less than eight. Namely, if an asymptotically flat initial data set satisfies the dominant energy condition and has $E=|P|$, then $E=|P|=0$, where $(E,…

For the spatially inhomogeneous, non-cutoff Boltzmann equation posed in the whole space $\mathbb R^3_x$, we establish pointwise lower bounds that appear instantaneously even if the initial data contains vacuum regions. Our lower bounds…

General relativity in the form where gravitational perturbations together with other physical fields propagate on an auxiliary background is considered. With using the Katz-Bi{\v{c}}\'ak-Lynden-Bell technique new conserved currents,…

We generalize the spacetime positive mass theorem to include multiple time dimensions. In particular, we show that the mass remains nonnegative in the sense that the energy $E$ is bounded from below by the trace norm of the linear momenta…

I discuss some theoretical ideas concerning the representation of quantum gravity as a Lorentz-symmetry-violating `medium' with non-trivial optical properties, which include a refractive index in `vacuo' and stochastic effects associated…

We revisit Winicour's affine-null metric initial value formulation of General Relativity, where the characteristic initial value formulation is set up with a null metric having two affine parameters. In comparison to past work, where the…

The principles of energy, symmetry, entropy, and causality conservation are discussed in a "Tetrahedron Model" of a conceptually complete "T.O.E.:" "The charges of matter are the symmetry debts of light" (Noether's Theorem). Symmetry debts…

Using the Noether Charge formulation, we study a perturbation of the conserved gravitating system. By requiring the boundary term in the variation of the Hamiltonian to depend only on the symplectic structure, we propose a general…

The notion that any physical quantity is defined and measured relative to a reference frame is traditionally not explicitly reflected in the theoretical description of physical experiments where, instead, the relevant observables are…

Clapeyron's Theorem in classical linear elasticity provides a way to explicitly express the energy stored in an equilibrium configuration in terms of the work of the forces applied on the boundary. We derive several new integral relations…

For every mapping of a perturbed spacetime onto a background and with any vector field $\xi$ we construct a conserved covariant vector density $I(\xi)$, which is the divergence of a covariant antisymmetric tensor density, a…
