We use Fuchsian Reduction to construct singular solutions of Einstein's equations which belong to the class of Gowdy spacetimes. The solutions have the maximum number of arbitrary functions. Special cases correspond to polarized, or other…
Fuchsian methods and their applications to the study of the structure of spacetime singularities are surveyed. The existence question for spacetimes with compact Cauchy horizons is discussed. After some basic facts concerning Fuchsian…

The Gowdy spacetimes are vacuum solutions of Einstein's equations with two commuting Killing vectors having compact spacelike orbits with T^3, S^2xS^1 or S^3 topology. In the case of T^3 topology, Kichenassamy and Rendall have found a…
This is the second part of a series devoted to the singular initial value problem for second-order hyperbolic Fuchsian systems. In the first part, we defined and investigated this general class of systems, and we established a…
By Fuchsian techniques, a large family of Gowdy vacuum spacetimes have been constructed for which one has detailed control over the asymptotic behaviour. In this paper we formulate a condition on initial data yielding the same form of…
Recent work by the authors led to the development of a mathematical theory dealing with `second--order hyperbolic Fuchsian systems', as we call them. In the present paper, we adopt a physical standpoint and discuss the implications of this…

We use Fuchsian Reduction to study the behavior near the singularity of a class of solutions of Einstein's vacuum equations. These solutions admit two commuting spacelike Killing fields like the Gowdy spacetimes, but their twist does not…

Spacetime singularities have been discovered which are physically much weaker than those predicted by the classical singularity theorems. Geodesics evolve through them and they only display infinities in the derivatives of their curvature…
We consider a class of Fuchsian equations that, for instance, describes the evolution of compressible fluid flows on a cosmological spacetime. Using the method of lines, we introduce a numerical algorithm for the singular initial value…
We consider a system of nonlinear wave equations with constraints that arises from the Einstein equations of general relativity and describes the geometry of the so-called Gowdy symmetric spacetimes on T3. We introduce two numerical…

We analyze systems of semilinear wave equations in $3+1$ dimensions whose associated asymptotic equation admit bounded solutions for suitably small choices of initial data. Under this special case of the weak null condition, which we refer…
We introduce a stochastic analysis of Grassmann random variables suitable for the stochastic quantization of Euclidean fermionic quantum field theories. Analysis on Grassmann algebras is developed here from the point of view of quantum…
This thesis is concerned with global properties of those cosmological solutions of Einstein's field equations which obey accelerated expansion into the future driven by a non-vanishing cosmological constant, as suggested by current…
When modelling spacetime and classical physical fields, one typically assumes smoothness (infinite differentiability). But this assumption and its philosophical implications have not been sufficiently scrutinized. For example, we can appeal…
In this paper we consider a Novikov equation, recently shown to describe pseudospherical surfaces, to extend some recent results of regularity of its solutions. By making use of the global well-posedness in Sobolev spaces, for analytic…
