We consider generic properties of Lagrangians. Our main result is the Theorem of Kupka-Smale, in the Lagrangian setting, claiming that, for a convex and superlinear Lagrangian defined in a compact surface, for each $k\in \mathbb{R}$,…
The level surfaces of solutions to the eikonal equation define null or characteristic surfaces. In this note we study, in Minkowski space, properties of these surfaces. In particular we are interested both in the singularities of these…
Using the gauge theoretic approach for Lie applicable surfaces, we characterise certain subclasses of surfaces in terms of polynomial conserved quantities. These include isothermic and Guichard surfaces of conformal geometry and…
In this paper we find the general (i.e. valid for arbitrary values of the winding number) form of the gauge zero-modes, in the adjoint representation, for theories living on manifolds of the ALE type.
In \cite{Zh} \cite{LY} Zhang, Luo and Yin initiated the study of Lagrangian submanifolds satisfying ${\rm \nabla^*} T=0$ or ${\rm \nabla^*\nabla^*}T=0$ in $\mathbb{C}^n$ or $\mathbb{CP}^n$, where $T ={\rm \nabla^*}\tilde{h}$ and $\tilde{h}$…
This work revolves around properties and applications of functions whose nonlocal gradient, or more precisely, finite-horizon fractional gradient, vanishes. Surprisingly, in contrast to the classical local theory, we show that this class…
A Laguerre minimal surface is an immersed surface in the Euclidean space being an extremal of the functional \int (H^2/K - 1) dA. In the present paper, we prove that the only ruled Laguerre minimal surfaces are up to isometry the surfaces…
In this paper, I mainly prove the following results. For every energy value below the minimum of the first, second and third critical value, each bounded component of the regularized energy hypersurface of the Lagrange problem under some…
A homothetical surface arises as a graph of a function $z = \varphi_1(v_1) \varphi_2(v_2)$. In this paper, we study the homothetical surfaces in three dimensional psuedo-Galilean space$\left(\mathbb{G}_3^1\right)$ satisfying the conditions…
This article is devoted to investigate the singular profile of the free boundary of two-dimensional incompressible inviscid fluid with external force near the stagnation point. More precisely, given an external force with some polynomial…
Gravitational collapse singularities are undesirable, yet inevitable to a large extent in General Relativity. When matter satisfying null energy condition collapses to the extent a closed trapped surface is formed, a singularity is…
In this paper we investigate the bound state problem of nonrelativistic quantum particles on a conical surface. This kind of surface appears as a topological defect in ordinary semiconductors as well as in graphene sheets. Specifically, we…
When quantum supergravity is studied on manifolds with boundary, one may consider local boundary conditions which fix on the initial surface the whole primed part of tangential components of gravitino perturbations, and fix on the final…
A very interesting problem in the classical theory of minimal surfaces consists of the classification of such surfaces under some geometrical and topological constraints. In this short paper, we give a brief summary of the known…
We give a mini-review of scalar field theories with second-derivative Lagrangians, whose field equations are second order. Some of these theories admit solutions violating the Null Energy Condition and having no obvious pathologies. We give…
A surface in a three-dimensional metric Lie group $G$ is said invariant if it is invariant with respect to a one-dimensional subgroup $\Gamma$ of the isometry group of $G$. Is this work we focus on unimodular metric Lie groups $G$ that can…
We consider globally hyperbolic spacetimes with compact Cauchy surfaces in a setting compatible with the presence of a positive cosmological constant. More specifically, for 3+1 dimensional spacetimes which satisfy the null energy condition…
In this paper we introduce a mathematical model for small deformations induced by external forces of closed surfaces that are minimisers of Helfrich-type energies. Our model is suitable for the study of deformations of cell membranes…
In this paper, we investigate the singularity near the degenerate points of the steady axisymmetric flow with general vorticity of an inviscid incompressible fluid acted on by gravity and with a free surface. We called the points on the…
We carry out in full generality and without fixing specific boundary conditions, the symmetry and charge analysis near a generic null surface for two and three dimensional (2d and 3d) gravity theories. In 2d and 3d there are respectively…
