Some exotic compact objects possess evanescent ergosurfaces: timelike submanifolds on which a Killing vector field, which is timelike everywhere else, becomes null. We show that any manifold possessing an evanescent ergosurface but no event…
Well-posedness of a free boundary problem for electrostatic microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is investigated when nonlinear bending effects are taken into account. The model describes the evolution of the deflection of an electrically…

We review our recent work leading to steady-state solutions of the semiclassical (Maxwell-Bloch) equations of a laser. These are coupled non-linear partial differential equations in space and time which have previously been solved either by…
We show that a Riemannian 3-manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature and mean-convex boundary is flat if it contains an absolutely area-minimizing (in the free boundary sense) half-cylinder or strip. Analogous results also hold for a…
