According to folklore in general relativity, the Weyl tensor can be decomposed into parts corresponding to Newton-like, incoming and outgoing wavelike field components. It is shown here that this one-to-one correspondence does not hold for…

We prove that if a compact K\"ahler Poisson manifold has a symplectic leaf with finite fundamental group, then after passing to a finite \'etale cover, it decomposes as the product of the universal cover of the leaf and some other Poisson…

The Sachs equations governing the evolution of the optical matrix of geodetic WANDs (Weyl aligned null directions) are explicitly solved in n-dimensions in several cases which are of interest in potential applications. This is then used to…

We show that Chern-Weil theory for tensor bundles over manifolds is a consequence of the existence of natural closed differential forms on total spaces of torsion free connections on frame bundles.

We prove a Weyl upper bound on the number of scattering resonances in strips for manifolds with Euclidean infinite ends. In contrast with previous results, we do not make any strong structural assumptions on the geodesic flow on the trapped…

We give a geometric proof of a theorem of Weyl on the continuous part of the spectrum of Sturm-Liouville operators on the half-line with asymptotically constant coefficients. Earlier proofs due to Weyl and Kodaira depend on special features…

The convex hull peeling of a point set is obtained by taking the convex hull of the set and repeating iteratively the operation on the interior points until no point remains. The boundary of each hull is called a layer. We study the number…

The asymptotic behaviour of the components of the Weyl tensor and of the energy-momentum tensor in the Penrose limit is determined. In both cases a peeling-off property is found. Examples of different types of matter are provided. The…

We explain how to use representation theory to give a lower bound on the dimension of the quotient ring by type $B_n$ diagonal invariants that improves upon the current known lower bound $(2n+1)^n$ by a quadratic polynomial in $n$.

We show that a Weyl law holds for the variational spectrum of the $p$-Laplacian. More precisely, let $(\lambda_i)_{i=1}^\infty$ be the variational spectrum of $\Delta_p$ on a closed Riemannian manifold $(X,g)$ and let $N(\lambda) = \#\{i:\,…

The algebraic classification of the Weyl tensor in arbitrary dimension n is recovered by means of the principal directions of its "superenergy" tensor. This point of view can be helpful in order to compute the Weyl aligned null directions…
