We study spherically symmetric perturbations determined by alternative theories of gravity to the gravitational field of a central mass in General Relativity. In particular, we focus on perturbations in the form of power laws and calculate…
Reliable and efficient computation of the pseudospectral abscissa in the large-scale setting is still not settled. Unlike the small-scale setting where there are globally convergent criss-cross algorithms, all algorithms in the large-scale…

We consider linear, time-dependent and skew-adjoint perturbations of periodic transport equations on the one-dimensional torus. We describe the long-time behavior of solutions for all non-degenerate perturbations in resonant regime, proving…
Scale-separated AdS compactifications of string theory can be constructed at the two-derivative supergravity level in the presence of smeared orientifold planes. The unsmearing corrections are known to leading order in the large volume,…

We construct large families of supergravity solutions that are asymptotic to AdS$_2$ and terminate with a cap that is singular in two dimensions but smooth in higher dimensions. These solutions break supersymmetry and conformal invariance.…
In a major advance and simplification of this field, we show that A Local Resolution of the Problem of Time - also viewable as A Local Theory of Background Independence - can at the classical level be described solely by of Lie's…
Continuing the program initiated in arXiv:1304.1798 we investigate unitarity methods applied to two-dimensional integrable field theories. The one-loop computation is generalized to encompass theories with different masses in the asymptotic…
Tensionless string theory on $\text{AdS}_3\times\text{S}^3\times\mathcal{M}$ is explored in the limit that the strings wind the asymptotic boundary a large number of times. Although the worldsheet is usually thought to be localised to the…
This work discusses scalar-tensor theories of gravity, with a focus on the Brans-Dicke subclass, and one that also takes note of the latter's equivalence with $f(R)$ gravitation theories. A 1+3 covariant formalism is used in this case to…
We analyse a one parameter family of supersymmetric solutions of type IIB supergravity that includes AdS_5 x S^5. For small values of the parameter the solutions are causally well-behaved, but beyond a critical value closed timelike curves…
It is shown that perturbation theory in $2D$ nonlinear $\sigma$-models as well gauge theories in dimension $D\geq 2$ produces answers that depend on boundary conditions even after the infinite volume limit has been taken. This unphysical…
An SL(2, Z) family of string solutions of type IIB supergravity in ten dimensions is constructed. The solutions are labeled by a pair of relatively prime integers, which characterize charges of the three-form field strengths. The string…
We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for warped AdS$_2$ solutions of Type II supergravity to preserve ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetry, in terms of bispinors. Such solutions generically support an SU$(3)$-structure on their internal…
We determine the $AdS_5\times S^5$ solution of type IIB superstring field theory (SFT) to the third order in the expansion with respect to Ramond-Ramond (RR) flux, demonstrate its supersymmetry from the SFT gauge transformations, and…
The classical dynamics of a particle that is driven by a rapidly oscillating potential (with frequency $\omega$) is studied. The motion is separated into a slow part and a fast part that oscillates around the slow part. The motion of the…
We construct static and time dependent exact soliton solutions for a theory of scalar fields taking values on a wide class of two dimensional target spaces, and defined on the four dimensional space-time S^3 x R. The construction is based…
While new light sources allow for unprecedented resolution in experiments with X-rays, a theoretical understanding of the scattering cross-section is lacking. In the particular case of strongly correlated electron systems, numerical…
Inspired by the studies of gravitational waves in anti-de Sitter universe, in general relativity, in this paper we investigate the possibility of similar solutions in IIB string theory on $AdS_3 x S^3 x R^4$. We give a general form for such…
