To begin with, we identify the equations of elastostatics in a Riemannian manifold, which generalize those of classical elasticity in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. Our approach relies on the principle of least energy, which asserts…

The multisymplectic formalism of field theories developed by many mathematicians over the last fifty years is extended in this work to deal with manifolds that have boundaries. In particular, we develop a multisymplectic framework for first…

The {\em abstract boundary\/} (or {\em {\em a\/}-boundary\/}) of Scott and Szekeres \cite{Scott94} constitutes a ``boundary'' to any $n$-dimensional, paracompact, connected, Hausdorff, $C^\infty$-manifold (without a boundary in the usual…

In this paper we study the rigidity problem for sub-static systems with possibly non-empty boundary. First, we get local and global splitting theorems by assuming the existence of suitable compact minimal hypersurfaces, complementing recent…

For a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, endowed with a magnetic potential $\alpha$, we consider the problem of restoring the metric $g$ and the magnetic potential $\alpha$ from the values of the Ma\~n\'e action potential between…

About a decade ago Thurston proved that a vast collection of 3-manifolds carry metrics of constant negative curvature. These manifolds are thus elements of {\em hyperbolic geometry}, as natural as Euclid's regular polyhedra. For a closed…

Recent work in Euclidean quantum gravity has studied boundary conditions which are completely invariant under infinitesimal diffeomorphisms on metric perturbations. On using the de Donder gauge-averaging functional, this scheme leads to…

A rigidity result for a class of compact generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds with constant scalar curvature is obtained. Moreover, under some geometric assumptions, the rigidity for the noncompact case is also proved. Considering non…

Intrinsic nonlinear elasticity deals with the deformations of elastic bodies as isometric immersions of Riemannian manifolds into the Euclidean spaces (see Ciarlet [9,10]). In this paper, we study the rigidity and continuity properties of…
