We study self-consistent cosmological solutions for an Einstein universe in a graph-based induced gravity model. Especially, we demonstrate specific results for cycle graphs.
This article is a guide to theorems on existence and global dynamics of solutions of the Einstein equations. It draws attention to open questions in the field. The local-in-time Cauchy problem, which is relatively well understood, is…
In this paper, we extend Plebanski's mapping to encode the Einstein equations in ADM form within a bianisotropic electromagnetic medium. We realise this by translating the ADM constraints and evolution equations into dynamical conditions on…
Since the appearance of Einstein's paper {\em"On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies"} and the birth of special relativity, it is understood that the theory was basically coded within Maxwell's equations. The celebrated mass-energy…
The paper is an introduction to intuitionistic mathematics.
Relying on a fundamental empirical identity of heavy and inertial mass it is proposed to bring a status of general theory of relativity (GTR) of Einstein up to a level of Unified Field Theory. To do this, a thoroughgoing revision of…
We define the stretched future light cone, a timelike hypersurface composed of the worldlines of radially accelerating observers with constant and uniform proper acceleration. By attributing temperature and entropy to this hypersurface, we…
In this paper we explain the photoelectric effect in a variant of the standard model of non relativistic quantum electrodynamics, which is in some aspects more closely related to the physical picture, than the one studied in [BKZ]: Now we…

The equation in the title describes the number of bright images of a point source under lensing by an elliptic object with isothermal density. We prove that this equation has at most 6 solutions. Any number of solutions from 1 to 6 can…
We present a reformulation of Bohr's analysis of Einstein's thought experiment with the photon box, which hopefully settles some unclear issues. The box is weighed by two position measurements, the first immediately before the emission of…
A simple iteration methodology for the solution of a set of a linear algebraic equations is presented. The explanation of this method is based on a pure geometrical interpretation and pictorial representation. Convergence using this method…
Section 7 of Einstein's 1905 electrodynamics paper gives frequency-shift and aberration formulae that together describe an elongated ellipsoidal wavefront. A Lorentz contraction of this ellipsoid solves most (but not all) of the associated…
In this paper, we discuss the role of Mathematics in articulating reality in theoretical Physics. We propose a parallel between empirical and theoretical work and investigate how scientists can also speak about reality without performing…

Einstein's field equations are solved exactly for static charged dust distributions. These solutions generalize the Majumdar Papapetrou metrics. Maxwell's equations lead to the equality of charge and mass densities of the dust distribution.…
