We construct time quasi-periodic solutions to nonlinear wave equations on the torus in arbitrary dimensions. All previously known results (in the case of zero or a multiplicative potential) seem to be limited to the circle. This generalizes…
In this paper we give an extension of the Birkhoff--Lewis theorem to some semilinear PDEs. Accordingly we prove existence of infinitely many periodic orbits with large period accumulating at the origin. Such periodic orbits bifurcate from…

Just recently, the class of all Einstein-Maxwell fields solving simultaneously also any higher-order modification of the Eintein-Maxwell theory has been completely identified. In the present work, we argue that, in view of our recent…
Some black hole mimickers, as well as black strings and other higher-dimensional spacetimes, exhibit stable light rings-regions where light or high-frequency gravitational waves can be trapped. In these regions, linear perturbations decay…
This paper studies the Cauchy problem for systems of semi-linear wave equations on $\mathbb{R}^{3+1}$ with nonlinear terms satisfying the null conditions. We construct future global-in-time classical solutions with arbitrarily large initial…

The self-similarity hypothesis claims that in classical general relativity, spherically symmetric solutions may naturally evolve to a self-similar form in certain circumstances. In this context, the validity of the corresponding hypothesis…
We study spherically symmetric solutions of semilinear wave equations in the case where the nonlinearity satisfies the null condition on extremal Reissner--Nordstrom black hole spacetimes. We show that solutions which arise from…
A large class of solutions of the Einstein-conformal scalar equations in D=2+1 and D=3+1 is identified. They describe the collisions of asymptotic conformal scalar waves and are generated from Einstein-minimally coupled scalar spacetimes…
The nonlinear Schroedinger equation has several families of quasi-periodic travelling waves, each of which can be parametrized up to symmetries by two real numbers: the period of the modulus of the wave profile, and the variation of its…
We consider the nonlinear Schroedinger equation in higher dimension with Dirichlet boundary conditions and with a non-local smoothing nonlinearity. We prove the existence of small amplitude periodic solutions. In the fully resonant case we…
In this paper, we investigate the fully nonlinear wave equations on the product space $\mathbb{R}^3\times\mathbb{T}$ with quadratic nonlinearities and on $\mathbb{R}^2\times\mathbb{T}$ with cubic nonlinearities, respectively. It is shown…

Doubly periodic (periodic both in time and in space) solutions for the Lagrange-Euler equation of the (1+1)-dimensional scalar Phi^4 theory are considered. The nonlinear term is assumed to be small, and the Poincare-Lindstedt method is used…
Quantization in the minisuperspace of non minimal scalar-tensor theories leads to a partial differential equation which is non separable. Through a conformal transformation we can recast the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in an integrable form,…
We study the existence, the stability and the non-degeneracy of normalized standing-waves solutions to a one dimensional non-linear Schr\"odinger equation. The non-linearity belongs to a class of algebraic functions appropriately defined.…
