In paper [3] on the classification of second-order PDEs with four independent variables that possess partner symmetries, asymmetric heavenly equation appears as one of canonical equations admitting partner symmetries. It was shown that all…

We study the classical solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills model in five dimensions in the presence of a cosmological constant $\Lambda$. Using a spherically symmetric ansatz and assuming that the fields do not depend on the extra…

We construct nearly topological Yang-Mills theories on eight dimensional manifolds with a special holonomy group. These manifolds are the Joyce manifold with $Spin(7)$ holonomy and the Calabi-Yau manifold with SU(4) holonomy. An invariant…

In the usual Clifford algebra formulation of electrodynamics the Faraday bivector field F is decomposed into the observer dependent sum of a relative vector E and a relative bivector e_5 B by making a space-time split, which depends on the…

We establish existence and qualitative properties of saddle-shaped solutions of the elliptic fractional equation $(-\Delta)^{1/2}u=f(u)$ in all the space $\re^{2m}$, where $f$ is of bistable type. These solutions are odd with respect to the…

We present a prescription in F-theory for realizing matter in "exotic" representations of product gauge groups. For 6D vacua, bifundamental hypermultiplets are engineered by starting at a singular point in moduli space which includes 6D…

Starting from the self-dual "triplet" of gravitational instanton solutions in Euclidean gravity, we obtain the corresponding instanton solutions in string theory by making use of the target space duality symmetry. These dual triplet…

We reconsider the one loop divergence of ${\cal N}=8$ supergravity in four dimensions. We compute the finite effective potential of ${\cal N}=8$ anti-deSitter supergravity and interpret it as logarithmic running of the cosmological…

In 2014 the author showed that in the three-dimensional spherical space, alongside with three classical types of flexible octahedra constructed by Bricard, there exists a new type of flexible octahedra, which was called exotic. In the…

Clifford number formalism for Maxwell equations is considered. The Clifford imaginary unit for space-time is introduced as coordinate independent form of fully antisymmetric fourth-rank tensor. The representation of Maxwell equations in…

Strongly self-dual Yang-Mills fields in even dimensional spaces are characterised by a set of constraints on the eigenvalues of the Yang-Mills fields $F_{\mu \nu}$. We derive a topological bound on ${\bf R}^8$, $\int_{M} ( F,F )^2 \geq k…

We prove a priori estimates for solutions of order $2$ linear elliptic PDEs in divergence form on subanalytic domains. More precisely, we study the solutions of a strongly elliptic equation $Lu=f$, with $f\in L^2(\mathcal{\Omega})$ and…

We are concerned with the almost automorphic solutions to the second-order elliptic differential equations of type $\ddot u(s) + 2 B \dot u(s) + A u(s) = f(s) (\ast),$ where $A, B$ are densely defined closed linear operators acting in a…

We construct explicitly all extremal instanton solutions to $\mathcal{N}=4,\, D=4$ supergravity truncated to one vector field (Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton-axion (EMDA) theory). These correspond to null geodesics of the target space of the…

By imposing on the most general renormalizable quantum field theory the requirement of the absence of ultraviolet-divergent renormalizations of the physical parameters (masses and coupling constants) of the theory, finite quantum field…

I review the equivalence between duality operators on two-forms and conformal structures in four dimensions, from a Clifford algebra point of view (due to Urbantke and Harnett). I also review an application, which leads to a set of…

Classification of differential-difference equation of the form $\ddot{u}_{nm}=F_{nm}\big(t, \{u_{pq}\}|_{(p,q)\in \Gamma}\big)$ are considered according to their Lie point symmetry groups. The set $\Gamma$ represents the point $(n,m)$ and…
