The aim of the present work is twofold: first, we show how all the $n$-dimensional Riemannian and Lorentzian metrics can be constructed from a certain class of systems of second-order PDE's which are in duality to the Hamilton-Jacobi…
We analyze the relationship between $n$-dimensional conformal metrics and a certain class of partial differential equations (PDEs) that are in duality with the eikonal equation. In particular, we extend the Null Surface Formulation of…
Let $(N, g)$ be a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with Ricci curvature bounded from below. In this paper, we study the gradient estimates of positive solutions to a class of nonlinear elliptic equations $$\Delta u(x)+a(x)u(x)\log…
We prove that the Einstein equations can be solved in a very general form for arbitrary spacetime dimensions and various types of vacuum and non-vacuum cases following a geometric method of anholonomic frame deformations for constructing…
In this paper we provide several uniqueness and non-existence results for complete parabolic constant mean curvature spacelike hypersurfaces in Lorentzian warped products under appropriate geometric assumptions. As a consequence of this…
In this note we generalize our previous result, stating that if $(M_1,g_1)$ and $(M_2,g_2)$ are compact Riemannian manifolds, then any Einstein metric on the product $M:=M_1\times M_2$ of the form $g=e^{2f_1}g_1+e^{2f_2}g_2$, with $f_1\in…
An iterative construction of higher order Einstein tensors for a maximally Gauss-Bonnet extended gravitational Lagrangian was introduced in a previous paper. Here the formalism is extended to non-factorisable metrics in arbitrary ($d+1$)…
We construct examples of four dimensional manifolds with Spin$^c$-structures, whose moduli spaces of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations, represent a non-trivial bordism class of positive dimension, i.e. the Spin$^c$-structures are…
In this work we establish a gradient bound and Liouville-type theorems for solutions to Quasi-linear elliptic equations on compact Riemannian Manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Also, we provide a local splitting theorem when the…
We prove a new rigidity result for metrics defined on closed smooth $ n $-manifolds that are critical for the quadratic functional $ \mathfrak{F}_{t} $, which depends on the Ricci curvature $ Ric $ and the scalar curvature $ R $, and that…
This is partly an expository paper, where the authors' work on pseudoriemannian Einstein metrics on nilpotent Lie groups is reviewed. A new criterion is given for the existence of a diagonal Einstein metric on a nice nilpotent Lie group.…
In this paper we study the space of solutions to an overdetermined linear system involving the Hessian of functions. We show that if the solution space has dimension greater than one, then the underlying manifold has a very rigid warped…
In this paper we prove some Hamilton type and Li-Yau type gradient estimates on positive solutions to generalized nonlinear parabolic equations on smooth metric measure space with compact boundary. The geometry of the space in terms of…
We consider Einstein hypersurfaces of warped products $I\times_\omega\mathbb Q_\epsilon^n,$ where $I\subset\mathbb R$ is an open interval and $\mathbb Q_\epsilon^n$ is the simply connected space form of dimension $n\ge 2$ and constant…
Many of the technical complications associated with the general theory of relativity ultimately stem from the nonlinearity of Einstein's equation. It is shown here that an appropriate choice of dynamical variables may be used to eliminate…
We make classifications of gradient Ricci solitons $(M, g, f)$ with harmonic Weyl curvature. As a local classification, we prove that the soliton metric $g$ is locally isometric to one of the following four types: an Einstein manifold, the…
We study a class of higher dimensional warped Einstein spacetimes with one extra dimension. These were originally identified by Brinkmann as those Einstein spacetimes that can be mapped conformally on other Einstein spacetimes, and have…
This paper is devoted to the study of rigidity properties for special solutions of nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations on smooth, boundaryless Riemannian manifolds. As far as stable solutions are concerned, we derive a new…
This paper establishes a Wiener criterion at $\infty$ to characterise the unique solvability of the Dirichlet problem for degenerate elliptic equations with power-like weights in arbitrary open sets. In the measure-theoretical context, the…
We prove that every Einstein metric on the unit ball B^4 of C^2, asymptotic to the Bergman metric, is equal to it up to a diffeomorphism. We need a solution of Seiberg--Witten equations in this infinite volume setting. Therefore, and more…
