We construct a class of linear partial differential equations describing general perturbations of non-rotating black holes in 3D Cartesian coordinates. In contrast to the usual approach, a single equation treats all radiative $\ell -m$…

We investigate the explicit convex relaxation of the ideal magnetohydrodynamics equations. We provide a non-trivial lower estimate on the lamination hull and an upper estimate on the $\Lambda$-convex hull, the latter providing inequalities…

We present a new method for treating the inner Cauchy boundary of a black hole spacetime by matching to a characteristic evolution. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of such a scheme relative to Cauchy-only approaches. A prototype…
We prove the existence of asymptotically hyperbolic solutions to the vacuum Einstein constraint equations with a marginally outer trapped boundary of positive mean curvature, using the constant mean curvature conformal method. As an…
The equations of 2D incompressible dissipationless extended magnetohydrodynamics (XMHD) extend the equations of incompressible Hall MHD (HMHD) by retaining finite-electron inertia. These XMHD equations couple the fluid velocity ${\bf V} =…
This is the second in a series of two papers to establish the conjectured mass-angular momentum inequality for multiple black holes, modulo the extreme black hole 'no hair theorem'. More precisely it is shown that either there is a…
We derive magnetic black hole solutions using a general gauge potential in the framework of teleparallel equivalent general relativity. One of the solutions gives a non-trivial value of the scalar torsion. This non-triviality of the torsion…
