The localization of energy in the discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation is explained with statistical methods. The partition function and the entropy of the system are computed for low-amplitude initial conditions. Detailed predictions…

Using unitarity and causality, we derive an infinite tower of two-sided positivity bounds on the effective field theory coefficients which describe the propagation of heavy fields on de Sitter spacetime. We design this EFT to describe…

Dark solitons are common topological excitations in a wide array of nonlinear waves. The dark soliton excitation energy, crucial for exploring dark soliton dynamics, is necessarily calculated in a renormalized form due to its existence on a…

We consider a simple modal logic whose non-modal part has conjunction and disjunction as connectives and whose modalities come in adjoint pairs, but are not in general closure operators. Despite absence of negation and implication, and of…

In this paper we prove a result of almost global existence for some abstract nonlinear PDEs on flat tori and apply it to some concrete equations, namely a nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a convolution potential, a beam equation and a…

In this paper we prove that the energy - critical nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation in the domain exterior to a convex obstacle is globally well - posed and scattering for initial data having finite energy. To prove this we utilize…

We prove that positive solutions of the superlinear Lane-Emden system in a two-dimensional smooth bounded domain are bounded independently of the exponents in the system, provided the exponents are comparable. As a consequence, the energy…

This paper deals with existence of a nontrivial positive solution to systems of equations involving nontrivial nonhomogeneous terms and critical or subcritical nonlinearities. Via a minimization argument we prove existence of a positive…

Given a smoothly bounded non-contractible domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2$, we prove the existence of positive critical points of the Trudinger-Moser embedding for arbitrary Dirichlet energies. This is done via degree theory, sharp…

We show that a system of a domain wall coupled to a scalar field has static negative energy density at certain distances from the domain wall. This system provides a simple, explicit example of violation of the averaged weak energy…

We investigate the energy of a theory with a unit vector field (the "aether") coupled to gravity. Both the Weinberg and Einstein type energy-momentum pseudotensors are employed. In the linearized theory we find expressions for the energy…

We establish analogues of the Hawking and Penrose singularity theorems based on (a) averaged energy conditions with exponential damping; (b) conditions on local stress-energy averages inspired by the Quantum Energy Inequalities satisfied by…

We obtain a weak formulation of the stationarity condition for the half Dirichlet energy, which can be expressed in terms of a fractional analogous to the Hopf differential. As an application we show that conformal harmonic maps from the…

We consider a finite region of a lattice of weakly interacting geodesic flows on manifolds of negative curvature and we show that, when rescaling the interactions and the time appropriately, the energies of the flows evolve according to a…

For complete spin initial data sets with an asymptotically anti--de Sitter end, we introduce a charged energy--momentum defined as a linear functional arising from the Einstein--Maxwell constraints. Under a dominant energy condition adapted…

We prove a harmonic asymptotics density theorem for asymptotically flat initial data sets with compact boundary that satisfy the dominant energy condition. We use this to settle the spacetime positive mass theorem, with rigidity, for…

We show that a Riemannian 3-manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature and mean-convex boundary is flat if it contains an absolutely area-minimizing (in the free boundary sense) half-cylinder or strip. Analogous results also hold for a…

In this paper, a new proof of the Positive Mass Theorem is established through a newly discovered monotonicity formula, holding along the level sets of the Green's function of an asymptotically flat $3$-manifold. In the same context and for…
