We consider the nonlinear Schrodinger equation under a partial quadratic confinement. We show that the global dispersion corresponding to the direction(s) with no potential is enough to prove global in time Strichartz estimates, from which…
We study the canonical quantization of a massless charged scalar field on a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole background. Our aim is to construct analogues of the standard Boulware, Unruh and Hartle-Hawking quantum states which can be defined…
We introduce an ansatz for force-free electrodynamics in Minkowski spacetime under which the nonlinear system reduces to a semilinear scalar wave equation depending on two spacetime variables. This reduction yields explicit time-dependent…
We consider Einstein gravity minimally coupled to two Maxwell fields and one (real) dilaton scalar. We study the electrically-charged spherically-symmetric and static solutions that are asymptotic to Minkowski spacetime. General solutions…
This paper is the third part of a trilogy dedicated to the following problem: given spherically symmetric characteristic initial data for the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar field system with a cosmological constant $\Lambda$, with the data on the…
In this paper we analyze the propagation of a charged scalar field in a Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole endowed with one anisotropic fluid that can play the role of a cosmological term for certain set of parameters. The evolution of a…
Some time ago, we showed that a weak (linear) massless spin 2 wave could only propagate on a Ricci-flat or Ricci-constant background: it must necessarily be a perturbation of General Relativity. This was just the continuation of the higher…
We have analyzed in detail the propagation of a minimally coupled massless scalar field in the gravitational background of a four-dimensional Einstein-Born-Infeld dilaton charged black hole. We have obtained analytical expressions for the…
We consider a massless scalar field propagating in a weakly curved spacetime whose metric is a solution to the linearized Einstein field equations. The spacetime is assumed to be stationary and asymptotically flat, but no other symmetries…
We analyse the Noether charges for scalar and Maxwell fields on light cones on a de Sitter, Minkowski, and anti-de Sitter backgrounds. Somewhat surprisingly, under natural asymptotic conditions all charges for the Maxwell fields on both the…
We establish Strichartz estimates (both reversed and some direct ones), pointwise decay estimates, and weighted decay estimates for the linear wave equation in dimension two with an almost scaling-critical potential, in the case when there…
Scalar fields coupled to gravity via $\xi R {\Phi}^2$ in arbitrary Friedmann-Robertson-Walker backgrounds can be represented by an effective flat space field theory. We derive an expression for the scalar energy density where the effective…
We give simple conditions implying the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the propagation of classical scalar fields in general (n+2)-dimensional static and spherically symmetric spacetimes. They are related to properties of the…
This paper investigates the \emph{massive} Maxwell-Dirac system under the Lorenz gauge condition in (4+1) dimensional Minkowski space. The focus is on establishing global existence and scattering results for small solutions on the weighted…
We study the 2D-wave equation with a scaling-critical electromagnetic potential. This problem is doubly critical, because of the scaling invariance of the model and the singularities of the potentials, which are not locally integrable. In…
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 Hyperboloidal Foliation Method (introduced by the authors in 2014) is extended here and applied to the Einstein equations of general relativity. Specifically, we establish the nonlinear stability of Minkowski spacetime for…
A system of equations, describing the evolution of electromagnetic fields, is introduced and discussed. The model is strictly related to Maxwell's equations. As a matter of fact, the Lagrangian is the same, but the variations are subjected…
This paper studies the two-spinor form of the Rarita-Schwinger potentials subject to local boundary conditions compatible with local supersymmetry. The massless Rarita-Schwinger field equations are studied in four-real-dimensional…
We study the existence of scalar fields outside neutral reflecting shells. We consider static massive scalar fields non-minimally coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. We analytically investigated properties of scalar fields through the…
