One of the most efficient ways to produce unconditional simulations is with the spectral method using fast Fourier transform (FFT) [1]. But this approach is not applicable to arbitrary surfaces because no regular grid exists. However,…

We consider the semi-classical limit for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. In order to consider non-trivial boundary conditions at infinity, we work in Zhidkov spaces rather than in Sobolev spaces. For the usual cubic nonlinearity, we obtain a…
We use the conservation law of the stress-energy and spin tensors to study the motion of massive brane-like objects in Riemann-Cartan geometry. The world-sheet equations and boundary conditions are obtained in a manifestly covariant form.…

Significant advances were made in recent years on the global evolution problem for self-gravitating massive matter in the small-perturbative regime close to Minkowski spacetime. To study the coupling between a Klein-Gordon equation and…
Two effective methods for writing the dynamical equations for non-holonomic systems are illustrated. They are based on the two types of representation of the constraints: by parametric equations or by implicit equations. They can be applied…
Subjecting a physical system to a time-periodic drive can substantially modify its properties and applications. This Floquet-engineering approach has been extensively applied to a wide range of classical and quantum settings in view of…
Analysis of the WKB exactness in some homogeneous spaces is attempted. $CP^N$ as well as its noncompact counterpart $D_{N,1}$ is studied. $U(N+1)$ or U(N,1) based on the Schwinger bosons leads us to $CP^N$ or $D_{N,1}$ path integral…
A new method based on Synge's world function is developed for determining within the WKB approximation the gravitationally induced quantum phase shift of a particle propagating in a stationary spacetime. This method avoids any calculation…
An approach to the quantum-classical mechanics of phase space dependent operators, which has been proposed recently, is remodeled as a formalism for wave fields. Such wave fields obey a system of coupled non-linear equations that can be…
Fixed-point or Newton-methods are typically employed for the numerical solution of nonlinear systems arising from discretization of nonlinear magnetic field problems. We here discuss an alternative strategy which uses local Quasi-Newton…

Previous calculations of instanton effects in electroweak theory have concentrated on the case of zero Weinberg angle $\theta_w$, where the U(1) hypercharge field decouples. In this paper we extend the instanton calculation to non-zero…
