Vigneron [Foundations of Physics, 54, 15, (2024)] recently proposed a modification of general relativity in which a non-dynamical term related to the spatial topology is introduced in the Einstein equation. The original motivation for this…
We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions of the semiclassical Einstein equation in flat cosmological spacetimes driven by a quantum massive scalar field with arbitrary coupling to the scalar curvature. In the semiclassical…
We obtain Lipschitz regularity results for a fairly general class of nonlinear first-order PDEs. These equations arise from the inner variation of certain energy integrals. Even in the simplest model case of the Dirichlet energy the…
In addition to the second-order Einstein equations on four-dimensional homogeneous isotropic background universe filled with the single perfect fluid, we also derived the second-order perturbations of the continuity equation and the Euler…
A classical theorem in conformal geometry states that on a manifold with non-positive Yamabe invariant, a smooth metric achieving the invariant must be Einstein. In this work, we extend it to the singular case and show that in all…

We find a new obstruction for a real Einstein 4-orbifold with an A1-singularity to be a limit of smooth Einstein 4-manifolds. The obstruction is a curvature condition at the singular point. For asymptotically hyperbolic metrics, with…
The study of Einstein equations leads naturally to Cauchy problems with initial data on hypersurfaces which closely resemble hyperboloids in Minkowski space-time, and with initial data with polyhomogeneous asymptotics, that is, with…
We investigate the existence of stationary fronts in a coupled system of two sine-Gordon equations with a smooth, "hat-like" spatial inhomogeneity. The spatial inhomogeneity corresponds to a spatially dependent scaling of the sine-Gordon…
For large classes of systems of polynomial nonlinear PDEs necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of solutions which are discontinuous across hyper-surfaces. These PDEs contain the Navier-Stokes equations, as well as…
We show future global non-linear stability of surface symmetric solutions of the Einstein-Vlasov system with a positive cosmological constant. Estimates of higher derivatives of the metric and the matter terms are obtained using an…
We present a general method to obtain static anisotropic spherically symmetric solutions, satisfying a nonlocal equation of state, from known density profiles. This equation of state describes, at a given point, the components of the…
A general class of solutions of Einstein's equation for a slowly rotating fluid source, with supporting internal pressure, is matched using Lichnerowicz junction conditions, to the Kerr metric up to and including first order terms in…
We prove a differential Harnack inequality for noncompact convex hypersurfaces flowing with normal speed equal to a symmetric function of their principal curvatures. This extends a result of Andrews for compact hypersurfaces. We assume that…
For a parabolic surface partial differential equation coupled to surface evolution, convergence of the spatial semidiscretization is studied in this paper. The velocity of the evolving surface is not given explicitly, but depends on the…
The stationary points of the total scalar curvature functional on the space of unit volume metrics on a given closed manifold are known to be precisely the Einstein metrics. One may consider the modified problem of finding stationary points…
Singular solutions of the harmonic Einstein evolution equation are constructed which are related to spatially global and time-local solutions for a certain class of quasilinear hyperbolic systems of second order. The constructed…
In this work we investigate analytic static and spherically symmetric solutions of a generalized theory of gravity in the Einstein-Cartan formalism. The main goal consists in analyzing the behavior of the solutions under the influence of a…
Motivated on the one hand by recent results on isochronous dynamical systems, and on the other by quantum gravity applications of complex metrics, we show that, if such enlarged class of metrics is considered, one can easily obtain periodic…
We study the Einstein-Maxwell system of equations in spherically symmetric gravitational fields for static interior spacetimes. The condition for pressure isotropy is reduced to a recurrence equation with variable, rational coefficients. We…
