In the setting of spaces of homogeneous type, we give a direct proof of the local Tb theorem for singular integral operators. Motivated by questions of S. Hofmann, we extend it to the case when the integrability conditions are lower than 2,…
We prove a Berger-type theorem which asserts that if the orthogonal subgroup generated by the torsion tensor (pulled back to a point by parallel transport) of a metric connection with skew-symmetric torsion is not transitive on the sphere,…
Quadratic-bilinear (QB) systems arise in many areas of science and engineering. In this paper, we present a scalable approach for designing locally stabilizing state-feedback control laws and certifying the local stability of QB systems.…
We perform numerical simulations of large scale structure evolution in an inhomogeneous Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) model of the Universe. We follow the gravitational collapse of a large underdense region (a void) in an otherwise flat…
It has been proven that locally the inertial frames and gauge states of the electromagnetic field are equivalent. This proof is valid for Einstein-Maxwell theories in four-dimensional Lorentzian spacetimes. Use will be made of theorems…
We introduce first-time sensitivity for a homeomorphism of a compact metric space, that is a condition on the first increasing times of open balls of the space. Continuum-wise expansive homeomorphisms, the shift map on the Hilbert cube, and…
Recently, the existence of robust three-dimensional light bullets (LBs) was predicted theoretically in the output of a laser coupled to a distant saturable absorber. In this manuscript, we analyze the stability and the range of existence of…
The most studied doubly-special-relativity scenarios, theories with both the speed-of-light scale and a length/inverse-momentum scale as non-trivial relativistic invariants, have concerned the possibility of enforcing relativistically some…
Symmetries compatible with asymptotic flatness and admitting gravitational and electromagnetic radiation are studied by using the Bondi-Sachs-van der Burg formalism. It is shown that in axially symmetric electrovacuum spacetimes in which at…
We propose a Robinson-Trautman evolution in $(2+1)$-dimensional spacetime that retains key structural features of the four-dimensional case. We consider a recently studied exact family of metrics to select a nonstationary geometry with a…
We considered the most general form of non-static cylindrically symmetric space-times for studying proper curvature symmetry by using the rank of the 6X6 Riemann matrix and direct integration techniques. Studying proper curvature symmetry…
We show that noncommutative electromagnetism and Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) theory with scalar fields are SL(2,R) self-dual when noncommutativity is light-like and we are in the slowly varying field approximation. This follows from SL(2,R)…
Spacetimes have conventionally been described by a global Lorentzian metric on a differentiable four-manifold. Herein we explore the possibility of spacetimes defined by a connection, which is locally but not globally Levi-Civita. The…
We show that there are no new consistent cosmological perfect fluid solutions when in an open neighbourhood ${\cal U}$ of an event the fluid kinematical variables and the electric and magnetic Weyl curvature are all assumed rotationally…
