The geometric framework for the Hamilton-Jacobi theory is used to study this theory in the ambient of higher-order mechanical systems, both in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms. Thus, we state the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi…
It is shown that the free motion of massive particles moving in static spacetimes are given by the geodesics of an energy-dependent Riemannian metric on the spatial sections analogous to Jacobi's metric in classical dynamics. In the…
One method to overcome the notorious problem of time in the quantisation of gravity is the identification of a physically preferred time parameter, a promising candidate being so-called `York time'. The dynamical equations for matter and…
In this paper we clarify and generalise previous work by Moser and Belbruno concerning the link between the motions in the classical Kepler problem and geodesic motion on spaces of constant curvature. Both problems can be formulated as…
We employed a real-space formulation of orbital-free density functional theory using finite-element basis to study the defect-core and energetics of an edge dislocation in Aluminum. Our study shows that the core-size of a perfect edge…
We analyze transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of self-assembled quasicrystals, composed of binary systems of nanoparticles. We use an automated procedure that identifies the positions of dislocations and determines their…
A theory for conduction electron scattering by inhomogeneous crystal lattice strains is developed, based on the differential geometric treatment of deformations in solids. The resulting fully covariant Schr\"odinger equation shows that the…
Inspirals of rotating stellar-mass compact objects into massive black holes are influenced by the spin-curvature coupling, which drives the compact body away from geodesic motion due to its rotation. I formulate the Hamilton-Jacobi equation…
We deal with the presence of topological defects in models for two real scalar fields. We comment on defects hosting topological defects, and we search for explicit defect solutions using the trial orbit method. As we know, under certain…
We study geodesics in the Brochette first-passage percolation model, where edges on the same axis-parallel line share a common random passage time, inducing long-range dependence. We focus on the maximal transversal deviation H n of…
The geometric concept of geodesic completeness depends on the choice of the metric field or "metric frame". We develop a frame-invariant concept of "generalised geodesic completeness" or "time completeness". It is based on the notion of…
We give a fully analytical description of radial and angular geodesics for massive particles that travel in the spacetime provided by a (3+1)-dimensional scale-dependent black hole in the cosmological background, for which, the quantum…
A small extended body moving through an external spacetime $g_{\alpha\beta}$ creates a metric perturbation $h_{\alpha\beta}$, which forces the body away from geodesic motion in $g_{\alpha\beta}$. The foundations of this effect, called the…
The geodesic complexity of a Riemannian manifold is a numerical isometry invariant that is determined by the structure of its cut loci. In this article we study decompositions of cut loci over whose components the tangent cut loci fiber in…
Here, we study quantitative homogenization of first-order convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations with $(u/\varepsilon)$-periodic Hamiltonians which typically appear in dislocation dynamics. Firstly, we establish the optimal convergence rate by…
In this paper the problem of gravitational deflection of relativistic charged massive particles in slowly rotating Kerr-Newman black holes is considered. Toward this purpose we have used two methods: Firstly, we have applied the…
The behavior of perturbations is studied in cosmological models which consist of two different homogeneous regions connected in a spherical shell boundary. The junction conditions for the metric perturbations and the displacements of the…
In this work, the trajectories of particles around a black bounce spacetime are considered, with the Simpson-Visser model serving as an example. Trajectories for massless and massive particles are obtained through the study of null and…
We generalize the geodesic rule to the case of formation of higher codimensional global defects. Relying on energetic arguments, we argue that, for such defects, the geometric structures of interest are the totally geodesic submanifolds. On…
We investigate the statistics of orientation of small, neutrally buoyant, spherical tracers whose center of mass is displaced from the geometrical center. If appropriate-sized particles are considered, a linear relation can be derived…
