Using variational considerations, we establish that there exists a new symmetric trace-free tensor conformal invariant of hypersurfaces embeddings in even dimensional conformal manifolds. This conformal invariant completes the family of…
A gauge-invariant saddle point expansion for the Yang-Mills vacuum transition amplitude on the basis of the squeezed approximation to the vacuum wave functional is outlined. This framework allows the identification of gauge-invariant…
Since the late1950s, almost all discussions of Asymptotically Flat (Einstein-Maxwell) Space-Times have taken place in the context of Penrose's Null Infinity, $\mathcal{I}^{+}.$\ $\ $In addition,\ almost all calculations have used the Bondi…
A single-level quantum dot with Coulomb repulsion attached to two superconducting leads is studied via the perturbation expansion in the interaction strength. We use the Nambu formalism and the standard many-body diagrammatic representation…
We consider the Cauchy problem for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in $\mathbb{R}^3$ for a one-parameter family of explicit scale-invariant axi-symmetric initial data, which is smooth away from the origin and invariant under the…
Cohomological Yang-Mills theory is formulated on a noncommutative differentiable four manifold through the $\theta$-deformation of its corresponding BRST algebra. The resulting noncommutative field theory is a natural setting to define the…
The main purpose of this monograph is to give an elementary and self-contained account of the existence of asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein metrics with prescribed conformal infinities sufficiently close to that of a given asymptotically…
In this three-part monograph, we prove that steady, incompressible Navier-Stokes flows posed over the moving boundary, $y = 0$, can be decomposed into Euler and Prandtl flows in the inviscid limit globally in $[1,\infty) \times [0,\infty)$,…
We give a construction of $G_2$ and $Spin(7)$ instantons on exceptional holonomy manifolds constructed by Bryant and Salamon, by using an ansatz of spherical symmetry coming from the manifolds being the total spaces of rank-4 vector…
We are interested in a complete characterization of the contact-line singularity of thin-film flows for zero and nonzero contact angles. By treating the model problem of source-type self-similar solutions, we demonstrate that this…
We consider the sharp interface limit of a Navier-Stokes/Allen Cahn equation in a bounded smooth domain in two space dimensions, in the case of vanishing mobility $m_\varepsilon=\sqrt{\varepsilon}$, where the small parameter $\varepsilon>0$…
We discuss the physics of zero modes of ED3/M5 instantons at strong coupling from three different viewpoints. Motivated by an anomaly inflow argument, we give a prescription for describing neutral instanton modes in terms of string…
We study compactness for nonnegative solutions of the fourth order constant $Q$-curvature equations on smooth compact Riemannian manifolds of dimension $\ge 5$. If the $Q$-curvature equals $-1$, we prove that all solutions are universally…
We derive a manifestly superconformal expression for the leading-order two-point functions of all single trace chiral primary operators in 4d $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory with a co-dimension one Nahm pole defect. Notably, our…
The Petrowsky type equation $y_{tt}^\eps+\eps y_{xxxx}^\eps - y_{xx}^\eps=0$, $\eps>0$ encountered in linear beams theory is null controllable through Neumann boundary controls. Due to the boundary layer of size of order $\sqrt{\eps}$…
Various works have suggested that the Bondi--Sachs--Penrose decay conditions on the gravitational field at null infinity are not generally representative of asymptotically flat space--times. We have made a detailed analysis of the…
The author has elsewhere given a complete classification of those compact oriented Einstein 4-manifolds on which the self-dual Weyl curvature is everywhere positive in the direction of some self-dual harmonic 2-form. In this article,…
We study an asymptotic Dirichlet problem for Weyl structures on asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds. By the bulk-boundary correspondence, or more precisely by the Fefferman-Graham theorem on Poincar\'e metrics, this leads to a natural…
We prove a conformally invariant estimate for the index of Schr\"odinger operators acting on vector bundles over four-manifolds, related to the classical Cwikel-Lieb-Rozenblum estimate. Applied to Yang-Mills connections we obtain a bound…
The purposes of the present paper are two-fold. Firstly we further develop the interplay between the contact Hamiltonian geometry and the geometric analysis of Hamiltonian-perturbed contact instantons with the Legendrian boundary condition,…
