We consider classes of diffeomorphisms of Euclidean space with partial asymptotic expansions at infinity; the remainder term lies in a weighted Sobolev space whose properties at infinity fit with the desired application. We show that two…

It is shown that introducing the quantum effects using deBroglie--Bohm theory in the canonical formulation of gravity would change the constraints algebra. The new algebra is derived and shown that it is the clear projection of general…

The geodesic structure is very closely related to the trace of the Laplace operator, involved in the calculation of the expectation value of the energy momentum tensor in Universes with non trivial topology. The purpose of this work is to…

An outstanding issue in the treatment of boundaries in general relativity is the lack of a local geometric interpretation of the necessary boundary data. For the Cauchy problem, the initial data is supplied by the 3-metric and extrinsic…

We prove that a generic area-preserving diffeomorphism of a compact surface with non-empty boundary has an equidistributed set of periodic orbits. This implies that such a diffeomorphism has a dense set of periodic points, although we also…

A procedure to find static axially symmetric solutions to the Einstein field equations is presented. We obtained two general solutions and five particular solutions, which depend on the existence conditions for circular and $z$ direction…

Generalized Lagrangian mean theories are used to analyze the interactions between mean flows and fluctuations, where the decomposition is based on a Lagrangian description of the flow. A systematic geometric framework was recently developed…

In a previous work we showed that, in a suitable setting, one can use diffeomorphism invariance in order to derive gravitational field equations from boundary terms of the gravitational action. Standing by our results we reply here to a…
