The classical irrotational capillary-gravity water wave problem described by the Euler equations with a nonlinear free surface boundary condition over a flat bed is considered. A modified flow force has been defined and a new formulation of…
The non-linearity of general relativity makes it at least difficult if not impossible to view a relativistic cloud of matter as being made up of point-source constituents. Perhaps the most delicate issue to circumnavigate is the inherent…
In this paper, we revive a special, less-common, variational principle in analytical mechanics (Hertz' principle of least curvature) to develop a novel variational analogue of Euler's equations for the dynamics of an ideal fluid. The new…
A variational principle is derived for two-dimensional incompressible rotational fluid flow with a free surface in a moving vessel when both the vessel and fluid motion are to be determined. The fluid is represented by a stream function and…
We consider the modified $f(R)$ theory of gravity whose higher order curvature terms are interpreted as a gravitational fluid or dark source. The gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric star, made up of locally anisotropic viscous…
The vanishing of the anomaly in the recent example of Nappi and Witten, constructed from the Wess-Zumino-Witten model based on a certain non-semisimple group, follows from a more general result valid for gravitational waves. The…
We consider the superfluid phase of a specific renormalizable relativistic quantum field theory. We prove that, within the regime of validity of perturbation theory and of the superfluid effective theory, there are consistent and regular…
A variational principle for two-fluid mixtures is proposed. The Lagrangian is constructed as the difference between the kinetic energy of the mixture and a thermodynamic potential conjugated to the internal energy with respect to the…
A version of the cosmological perturbation theory in general relativity (GR) is developed, where the cosmological scale factor is identified with spatial averaging of the metric determinant logarithm and the cosmic evolution acquires the…
We introduce a novel method to circumvent Weinberg's no-go theorem for self-tuning the cosmological vacuum energy: a Lorentz-violating finite-temperature superfluid can counter the effects of an arbitrarily large cosmological constant.…
We review the canonical theory for perfect fluids, in Eulerian and Lagrangian formulations. The theory is related to a description of extended structures in higher dimensions. Internal symmetry and supersymmetry degrees of freedom are…
We construct a gravity dual for scale invariant but non-conformal field theories with a cyclic renormalization group flow. A slight modification of our construction gives a gravity dual of discretely scale invariant field theories. The…
We characterize the flow of a viscous suspension in an inclined channel where the flow is maintained in a steady state under the competing influences of gravity and an applied pressure drop. The basic model relies on a diffusive-flux…
We establish a variant, which has the advantage of introducing only physical characteristics, of the symmetric quasi linear first order system given by H.\ Friedrich for the evolution equations of gravitating fluid bodies in General…
We develop a novel model for Cosmological Hyperfluids, that is fluids with intrinsic hypermomentum that induce spacetime torsion and non-metricity. Imposing the Cosmological Principle to Metric-Affine Spaces, we present the most general…
In this paper we develop a formalism to describe a superfluid in a gravitational background. This formalism is based on a covariant generalization of the field description for a superconductor in terms of a U(1) spontaneous symmetry…
In this paper we study the cosmological aspects of metric-affine $f(R)$ gravity with hyperfluid. The equations of motion of the theory are obtained by varying the action with respect to the metric and the independent connection.…
In this paper we present a new approach to Morse theory based on the de Rham-Federer theory of currents. The full classical theory is derived in a transparent way. The methods carry over uniformly to the equivariant and the holomorphic…
Perfect cosmological hyperfluids generalize the concept of a perfect fluid within the framework of metric affine gravity. These hyperfluids encode the microstructure of matter including shear, dilation, and spin via the hypermomentum…
The present status of the shear-free perfect fluid conjecture in general relativity is discussed: I give a review of recent work and present a new formalism which may provide a better understanding of the problems encountered.
