We analyze the cosmology of a general Scalar-Tensor theory which encompasses generalized Brans-Dicke theory, Gauss-Bonnet gravity, non-minimal derivative gravity, generalized Galileon gravity and also the general k-essence type models.…
The article builds on several recent advances in the Monge-Kantorovich theory of mass transport which have -- among other things -- led to new and quite natural proofs for a wide range of geometric inequalities such as the ones formulated…
I discuss how one can apply the covariant formalism developed by Vilkovisky and DeWitt to obtain frame invariant fifth force calculations for scalar-tensor theories. Fifth forces are severely constrained by astrophysical measurements. It…
We study the De Giorgi-Moser-Nash estimates of higher-order parabolic equations in divergence form with complex-valued, measurable, bounded, uniformly elliptic (in the sense of G$\mathring{a}$rding inequality) and time-independent…
We consider efficient methods for computing solutions to and estimating uncertainties in dynamic inverse problems, where the parameters of interest may change during the measurement procedure. Compared to static inverse problems,…
We study a generalized boundary rigidity problem, which investigates whether the areas of embedded minimal surfaces can uniquely determine a Riemannian manifold with boundary. We prove that for a conformal perturbation of an analytic metric…
Scalar tensor theories of gravity can be formulated in the Einstein or in the Jordan frame, which are related by the conformal transformations. Although the two frames are describe the same physics, and are equivalent, the stability of the…
We consider a non-standard generalized model of gravity coupled to a neutral scalar "inflaton" as well as to the fields of the electroweak bosonic sector. The essential new ingredient is employing two alternative non-Riemannian space-time…
In this paper, $\mathcal{G}(g,L,M,N)$ denotes a $L-$window Gabor system on a periodic set $\mathbb{S}$, where $L,M,M\in \mathbb{N}$ and $g=\{g_l\}_{l\in \mathbb{N}_L}\subset \ell^2(\mathbb{S})$. We characterize which $g$ generates a…
The aim of the current paper is to study the multiscalar-tensor theories of gravity without derivative couplings. We construct a few basic objects that are invariant under a Weyl rescaling of the metric and transform covariantly when the…
Dynamical sampling, as introduced by Aldroubi et al., deals with frame properties of sequences of the form $\{T^i f_1\}_{i\in \mathbb{N}}$, where $f_1$ belongs to Hilbert space $\h$ and $T:\h\rightarrow\h$ belongs to certain classes of the…
We investigate the Mordell constant of certain families of lattices, in particular, of lattices arising from totally real fields. We define the almost sure value k_mu of the Mordell constant with respect to certain homogeneous measures on…
We construct a family of non-parametric (infinite-dimensional) manifolds of finite measures on $R^d$. The manifolds are modelled on a variety of weighted Sobolev spaces, including Hilbert-Sobolev spaces and mixed-norm spaces. Each supports…
The Maxwell extension of the conformal algebra is presented. With the help of gauging the Maxwell-conformal group, a conformally invariant theory of gravity is constructed. In contrast to the conventional conformally invariant actions, our…
This paper studies nonlinear deformations of the linear gauge theory of any number of spin-2 and spin-3/2 fields with general formal multiplication rules in place of standard Grassmann rules for manipulating the fields, in four spacetime…
For a dynamical system, we study the set of points $\cal W$ whose orbit approximates any chosen point at certain specified rates. Our basic setting is that of left shift acting on topological Markov chains endowed with a local weak Gibbs…
A Gabor system generated by a window function $\phi$ and a rectangular lattice $a \Z\times \Z/b$ is given by $${\mathcal G}(\phi, a \Z\times \Z/b):=\{e^{-2\pi i n t/b} \phi(t- m a):\ (m, n)\in \Z\times \Z\}.$$ One of fundamental problems in…
A procedure is described to construct generalised Scherk-Schwarz uplifts of gauged supergravities. The internal manifold, fluxes, and consistent truncation Ansatz are all derived from the embedding tensor of the lower-dimensional theory. We…
We define `third derivative' General Relativity, by promoting the integration measure in Einstein-Hilbert action to be an arbitrary $4$-form field strength. We project out its local fluctuations by coupling it to another $4$-form field…
We investigate the embedding variable approach to geometrodynamics advocated in work by Isham, Kucha\v{r} and Unruh for a general class of coordinate conditions that mirror the Isham-Kucha\v{r} Gaussian condition but allow for arbitrary…
