The Riemannian Penrose inequality is a fundamental result in mathematical relativity. It has been a long-standing conjecture of G. Huisken that an analogous result should hold in the context of extrinsic geometry. In this paper, we resolve…
We construct and justify leading order weakly nonlinear geometric optics expansions for nonlinear hyperbolic initial value problems, including the compressible Euler equations. The technique of simultaneous Picard iteration is employed to…

The Frenet-Serret curve analysis is extended from nonnull to null trajectories in a generic spacetime using the Newman-Penrose formalism, recovering old results which are not well known and clarifying the associated Fermi-Walker transport…
We investigate higher than the first order gravitational perturbations in the Newman-Penrose formalism. Equations for the Weyl scalar $\psi_4,$ representing outgoing gravitational radiation, can be uncoupled into a single wave equation to…

We present a numerical method for computing the \textit{Fermi} and \textit{observational coordinates} of a distant test particle with respect to an observer. We apply this method for computing some previously introduced concepts of relative…

We introduce Fermi Sets, a universal and physically interpretable neural architecture for fermionic many-body wavefunctions. Building on a ``parity-graded'' representation [1], we prove that any continuous fermionic wavefunction on a…

We consider versions of the Penrose singularity theorem and the Hawking horizon topology theorem in weighted spacetimes that contain weighted versions of trapped surfaces, for arbitrary spacetime dimension and synthetic dimension. We find…
The Newman-Penrose formalism in transverse tetrads, namely those tetrads where \Psi_1=\Psi_3=0, is studied. In particular it is shown that the equations governing the dynamics within this formalism can be recast in a particularly compact…
An algorithm is given for explicitly computing Penrose diagrams for spacetimes of the form $ds^2 = -f(r)\, dt^2 + f(r)^{-1} \, dr^2 + r^2 \, d\Omega^2$. The resulting diagram coordinates are shown to extend the metric continuously and…
We prove the Riemannian Penrose inequality in arbitrary dimension for smooth complete asymptotically flat manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and compact outer-minimizing minimal boundary, where the boundary is allowed to have a…
We demonstrate that the Penrose inequality is valid for spherically symmetric geometries even when the horizon is immersed in matter. The matter field need not be at rest. The only restriction is that the source satisfies the weak energy…
As a photon propagates along a null geodesic, the space-time curvature around the geodesic distorts its wave function. We utilise the Fermi coordinates adapted to a general null geodesic, and derive the equation for interaction between the…
Fermi surfaces, three-dimensional (3D) abstract interfaces that define the occupied energies of electrons in a solid, are important for characterizing and predicting the thermal, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of crystalline…
The pp-wave (Penrose limit) in conformal field theory can be viewed as a special contraction of the unitary representations of the conformal group. We study the kinematics of conformal fields in this limit in a geometric approach where the…
In this paper we define Fermi-type coordinates in a 2-dimensional Lorentz manifold, and use this coordinate system to provide a local characterization of constant Gaussian curvature metrics for such manifolds, following a classical result…
