We introduce a proposal to modify Einstein's equations by embedding them in a larger symmetric hyperbolic system. The additional dynamical variables of the modified system are essentially first integrals of the original constraints. The…

We establish the well-posedness of linear elliptic equations with critical-order drifts in $L^d$ and positive zero-order coefficients in $L^1$ or $L^{\frac{2d}{d+2}}$, where classical methods are often too restrictive. Our approach relies…

To study asymptotic structures, we regularize Einstein's field equations by means of conformal transformations. The conformal factor is chosen so that it carries a dimensional scale that captures crucial asymptotic features. By choosing a…

We study the properties of a modified version of the Bona-Masso family of hyperbolic slicing conditions. This modified slicing condition has two very important features: In the first place, it guarantees that if a spacetime is static or…
