This survey introduces to the hyperbolic unfolding correspondence that links the geometric analysis of minimal hypersurfaces with that of Gromov hyperbolic spaces. Problems caused from hypersurface singularities oftentimes become solvable…
We consider the Cauchy problem and the source problem for normally hyperbolic operators on the Minkowski spacetime, and study the determination of solutions from their integrals along null geodesics. For the Cauchy problem, we give a new…
The goal of this paper is to study global well-posedness, cone of dependence and loss of regularity of the solutions to a class of strictly hyperbolic equations with coefficients displaying "mild" blow-up of sublogarithmic order - $|\ln…
We recast the tools of ``global causal analysis'' in accord with an approach to the subject animated by two distinctive features: a thoroughgoing reliance on order-theoretic concepts, and a utilization of the Vietoris topology for the space…
This article suggests the definition of "Lorentzian space" weakening the notion of Lorentzian length spaces just as much that it allows for a functor from the category of strongly causal Lorentzian manifolds to the corresponding category of…
A representation is put forward for wave functions of quantum particles in periodic lattice potentials subjected to homogeneous time-periodic forcing, based on an expansion with respect to Bloch-like states which embody both the spatial and…
Following the lines of the celebrated Riemannian result of Gromoll and Meyer, we use infinite dimensional equivariant Morse theory to establish the existence of infinitely many geometrically distinct closed geodesics in a class of globally…
We consider general relativity with cosmological constant minimally coupled to electromagnetic field and assume that four-dimensional space-time manifold is the warped product of two surfaces with Lorentzian and Euclidean signature metrics.…
We survey the distributional properties of progressively dilating sets under projection by covering maps, focusing on manifolds of constant sectional curvature. In the Euclidean case, we review previously known results and formulate some…
In this work we provide the full description of the upper levels of the classical causal ladder for spacetimes in the context of Lorenztian length spaces, thus establishing the hierarchy between them. We also show that global hyperbolicity,…
We use the Floquet-Bloch transform to reduce variational formulations of surface scattering problems for the Helmholtz equation from periodic and locally perturbed periodic surfaces to equivalent variational problems formulated on bounded…
We consider Wave Maps with smooth compactly supported initial data of small H^{{3/2}}-norm from R^{3+1} to the hyperbolic plane and show that they stay smooth globally in time. Our methods are based on the introduction of a global Coulomb…
This is an expository article/encyclopedia entry explaining the history, techniques, and central results in the field of smooth ergodic theory.
For any accessible partially hyperbolic homogeneous flow, we show that all smooth time changes are K and hence mixing of all orders. We also establish stable ergodicity for time-one map of these time changes.
We show that wave maps $\phi$ from two-dimensional Minkowski space $\R^{1+2}$ to hyperbolic spaces $\H^m$ are globally smooth in time if the initial data is smooth, conditionally on some reasonable claims concerning the local theory of such…
An intrinsic local time in Geometrodynamics is obtained with using a scaled Dirac's mapping. By addition of a background metric, one can construct a scalar field. It is suitable to play a role of intrinsic time. Cauchy problem was…
The null splitting theorem (proved in math.DG/9909158) is discussed. As an application, a uniqueness theorem for Minkowski space and for de Sitter space associated with the occurrence of null lines (inextendible globally achronal null…
Complex metrics are a double-edged sword: they allow one to replace singular spacetimes, such as those containing a big bang, with regular metrics, yet they can also describe unphysical solutions in which quantum transitions may be more…
This is the second in a series of papers where we estab- lish skin structural concepts and results for singular area minimizing hypersurfaces. Here we conformally unfold these spaces to complete Gromov hyperbolic spaces with bounded…
Time functions with asymptotically hyperbolic geometry play an increasingly important role in many areas of relativity, from computing black-hole perturbations to analyzing wave equations. Despite their significance, many of their…
