We prove Strichartz estimates for the Schr\"odinger equation which are scale-invariant up to an $\varepsilon$-loss on products of odd-dimensional spheres. Namely, for any product of odd-dimensional spheres…
V-static metrics generalise the notion of static metrics, and stem from the work of Miao and Tam [arXiv:0807.2693], and Corvino, Eichmair and Miao [arXiv:1211.6168] on critical points of the volume functional over the space of compact…
We provide analytical expressions for the second virial coefficients of hard, convex, monoaxial solids of revolution in ${\mathbb{R}^{4}}$. The excluded volume per particle and thus the second virial coefficient is calculated using…
This paper introduces a natural definition for the volume of the unit ball in $n$-dimensional normed spaces $\mathbb{R}^n$. This definition preserves the Euclidean relation $P(B)/V(B)=n$ between the perimiter and the volume of the unit ball…
We construct a phenomenological theory of gravitation based on a second order gauge formulation for the Lorentz group. The model presents a long-range modification for the gravitational field leading to a cosmological model provided with an…
In this paper,we obtain two results on closed Reimainnian manifold $M\times [0,T]$.When $T$ is small enough,to any prescribed scalar curvature, the existence and uniqueness of metrics are obtained on the volume element preserving…
We provide a bound on a natural distance between finitely and infinitely supported elements of the unit sphere of $\ell^2(\mathbb{N}^*)$, the space of real valued sequences with finite $\ell^2$ norm. We use this bound to estimate the…
We formulate a general method for perturbative evaluations of statistics of smoothed cosmic fields, and provide useful formulas in application of the perturbation theory to various statistics. This formalism is an extensive generalization…
The space of embedded submanifolds plays an important role in applications such as computational anatomy and shape analysis. We can define two different classes on Riemannian metrics on this space: so-called outer metrics are metrics that…
We present a bi-metric theory of gravity containing a length scale of galactic size. For distances less than this scale the theory satisfies the standard tests of General Relativity. For distances greater than this scale the theory yields…
We study the gauge invariant cosmological perturbations up to second order. We show that there are infinite families of gauge invariant variables at both of the first and second orders. The conversion formulae among different families are…
Gauge-invariant systems in unconstrained configuration and phase spaces, equivalent to second-class constraints systems upon a gauge-fixing, are discussed. A mathematical pendulum on an $n-1$-dimensional sphere $S^{n-1}$ as an example of a…
In a matter-filled spacetime, perhaps with positive cosmological constant, a stable marginally outer trapped 2-sphere must satisfy a certain area inequality. Namely, as discussed in the paper, its area must be bounded above by $4\pi/c$,…
Sharp bounds are obtained, under a variety of assumptions on the eigenvalues of the Einstein tensor, for the ratio of the Hawking mass to the areal radius in static, spherically symmetric space-times.
