We introduce a proposal to modify Einstein's equations by embedding them in a larger symmetric hyperbolic system. The additional dynamical variables of the modified system are essentially first integrals of the original constraints. The…

This work is concerned with the Cauchy problem for a Zakharov system with initial data in Sobolev spaces $H^k(\mathbb R^d)\!\times\!H^l(\mathbb R^d)\!\times\!H^{l-1}\!(\mathbb R^d)$. We recall the well-posedness and ill-posedness results…

Lorentz symmetry is the fundamental symmetry of Einstein's theory of Special Relativity and has been tested to great precision. Nevertheless, the possibility remains that it is violated at the Planck scale, as predicted by some theories of…

We study the inverse problem of determining a real-valued potential in the two-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation at negative energy from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. It is known that the problem is ill-posed and a stability estimate of…
We study the well-posedness of the initial value (Cauchy) problem of vacuum Einstein-aether theory. The latter is a Lorentz-violating gravitational theory consisting of General Relativity with a dynamical timelike 'aether' vector field,…
