We solve the wave equation for gravitational waves emitted by compact objects systems using the Multipolar Post-Minkowskian (MPM) method, and in the presence of Lorentz invariance violating terms. We select a Lorentz-violating extension of…
One of the longstanding problems of modern gravitational physics is the detection of gravitational waves, for which the standard theoretical analysis relies upon the split of the space-time metric into a background metric plus perturbation.…
Gravitational plane waves (when Ricci flat) belong to the VSI family. The achronym VSI stands for vanishing scalar invariants, meaning that all scalar invariants built out of Riemann tensor and its derivatives vanish, although the Riemann…
In our previous paper \cite{PTA1} we derived a generic expression for the pulse redshift the main observable for the Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) experiment for detection of gravitational waves for all possible polarizations induced by…
Certain equations with integral constraints have as solutions time-periodic pulses of a field-like unknown while a current-like unknown oscillates periodically with time. A general asymptotic theory of this phenomenon, the generalized Gunn…
We show global existence of classical solutions for the nonlinear Nordstr\"om theory with a source term and a cosmological constant under the assumption that the source term is small in an appropriate norm, while in some cases no smallness…
We introduce a perturbative formulation for a nonlinear extension of the J-matrix method of scattering in two dimensions. That is, we obtain the scattering matrix for the time-independent nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation in two dimensions…
We develop a non-linear distributional renormalisation algebra for Gaussian Quantum Foam, built from sequences of scaled Gaussians on spacelike hypersurfaces of homotopic, globally hyperbolic spacetimes and their distributional limits. The…
We present an inverse scattering construction of generalised point interactions (GPI) -- point-like objects with non-trivial scattering behaviour. The construction is developed for single centre $S$-wave GPI models with rational…
We consider the nonlinear Dirac equations (NLDE's) in 1+1 dimension with scalar-scalar self interaction $\frac{g^2}{k+1} ({\bar \Psi} \Psi)^{k+1}$, as well as a vector-vector self interaction $\frac{g^2}{k+1} ({\bar \Psi} \gamma_\mu \Psi…
The propagation of pulses in optical fibers is described by the generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation (GNLSE), which takes into account the fiber losses, nonlinear effects, and higher-order chromatic dispersion. The GNLSE is a partial…
Motivated by applications to acoustic imaging, the present work establishes a framework to analyze scattering for the one-dimensional wave, Helmholtz, Schr\"odinger and Riccati equations that allows for coefficients which are more singular…
It is well-known that there is no spherical/topologically spherical gravitational waves in vacuum space in general relativity. We show that a deviation from general relativity leads to exact vacuum spherical gravitational waves, no matter…
During the past decades the study of strongly interacting fluids experienced a tremendous progress. In the relativistic heavy ion accelerators, specially the RHIC and LHC colliders, it became possible to study not only fluids made of…
General relativity (GR) has been extensively tested in the solar system and in binary pulsars, but never in the strong-field, dynamical regime. Soon, gravitational-wave (GW) detectors like Advanced LIGO and eLISA will be able to probe this…
In a previous work the authors have solved the Einstein equations of General Relativity for a class of metrics with constant spatial curvature, where it was found a non vanishing Weyl tensor in the presence of a primordial magnetic field…
We present results from the first directed search for nontensorial gravitational waves. While general relativity allows for tensorial (plus and cross) modes only, a generic metric theory may, in principle, predict waves with up to six…

We study the spatio-temporal instability generated by a universal unstable attractor in normal dispersion graded-index multimode fiber (GRIN MMF) for femtosecond pulses. Our results present the generation of geometric parametric instability…
We show that plane-fronted gravitational waves induce the breaking of parallelograms in space-time, in the context of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR). The breaking of parallelograms can be shown by considering a…
