We study the fate of a localized wavepacket in a classical conformal field theory with attractive interaction V(phi) = -lambda/4 phi^4. As potential is unbounded from below, homogeneous field collapses to singularity in finite time.…

We study radial solutions in a ball of $\mathbb{R}^N$ of a semilinear, parabolic-elliptic Patlak-Keller-Segel system with a nonlinear sensitivity involving a critical power. For $N = 2$, the latter reduces to the classical linear model,…
We consider the critical gravity theory with a scalar field in four dimensions. We find that this theory has the solution corresponding to the de Sitter (dS), anti-de Sitter (AdS), and Minkowski background depending on whether the action…
The gravitational collapse of a star is a warmly discussed but still puzzling problem, which not only involves the dynamics of the gases, but also the subtle coordinate transformation. In this letter, we give some more detailed…
