We advance here our neoclassical theory of elementary charges by integrating into it the concept of spin of 1/2. The developed spinorial version of our theory has many important features identical to those of the Dirac theory such as the…
In a recent paper, Kiessling and Tahvildar-Zadeh proved that any classical solution of the relativistic Vlasov-Poisson equation with attractive coupling launched by spherically symmetric initial data with zero total energy and virial less…
We consider the ferromagnetic quantum Heisenberg model in one dimension, for any spin $S\geq 1/2$. We give upper and lower bounds on the free energy, proving that at low temperature it is asymptotically equal to the one of an ideal Bose gas…
We compute the energy of 2+1 Minkowski space from a covariant action principle. Using Ashtekar and Varadarajan's characterization of 2+1 asymptotic flatness, we first show that the 2+1 Einstein-Hilbert action with Gibbons-Hawking boundary…
We generalize Ringstr\"om's global future causal stability results (Ringstr\"om 2009) for certain expanding cosmological solutions of the Einstein-scalar field equations to solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar field system. In…
The notion of an infinite electromagnetic self energy of point charges (presumably electrons) is accepted by many electromagnetic textbooks. See, for instance,\cite{jdj,dg,rf}. However, each of these sources acknowledge that they don't…
We give a complete analytical proof of existence and uniqueness of extreme-like black hole initial data for Einstein equations, which possess a cilindrical end, analogous to extreme Kerr, extreme Reissner Nordstrom, and extreme Bowen-York's…
We consider $\Lambda$=0 three dimensional gravity with asymptotically flat boundary conditions. This system was studied by Ashtekar and Varadarajan within the second order formalism -with metric variables- who showed that the…
We identify singularity-free Running-Kerr-Taub-Bolt solutions of eleven-dimensional supergravity that descend to four-dimensional rotating solutions with flat-space asymptotics. We compute their spin-induced quadrupole moment and find that…
The Einstein equations in wave map gauge are a geometric second order system for a Lorentzian metric. To study existence of solutions of this hyperbolic quasi diagonal system with initial data on a characteristic cone which are not zero in…
This work considers positive energy theorems in asymptotically, locally AdS spacetimes. Particular attention is given to spacetimes where conformal infinity has compact, Einstein cross-sections admitting Killing or parallel spinors; a…
We derive positivity bounds for scattering amplitudes of particles with arbitrary spin using unitarity, analyticity and crossing symmetry. The bounds imply the positivity of certain low-energy coefficients of the effective action that…
By replacing the field of complex numbers with the commutative ring of bicomplex numbers, we attempt to construct interacting scalar quantum field theories that feature both positive- and negative-energy states. This work places the…
It is shown how point charges and point dipoles with finite self-energies can be accomodated into classical electrodynamics. The key idea is the introduction of constitutive relations for the electromagnetic vacuum, which actually mirrors…
Making use of the conformal positive energy theorem we prove the uniqueness of four-dimensional static electrically charged black holes being the solution of Chern-Simons dynamical gravity equations of motion. We assume that black hole…
{\sl A Hamiltonian framework for 2+1 dimensional gravity coupled with matter (satisfying positive energy conditions) is considered in the asymptotically flat context. It is shown that the total energy of the system is non-negative,…
The positive energy theorem precludes the possibility of Minkowski flat space decaying by any mechanism. In certain circumstances, however, large quantum fluctuations of the gravitational field could arise---not only at the Planck scale,…
We construct, for the first time, charged rotating black string solutions in four-dimensional Einsteinian cubic gravity, which are asymptotically anti de Sitter. By assuming that the solutions are completely regular at the horizon and…
In this article we look at the class of positive-energy density wormholes introduced by Eiroa and Simeone, and ask the question "How close can we come to building this wormhole with normal, electrically charged matter?" Using a series…
The Positive Binding Conjecture is a proposed formulation of the Weak Gravity Conjecture appropriate to Anti de-Sitter (AdS) space. It proposes that in a consistent gravitational theory, with a $U(1)$ gauge symmetry, there must exist a…
