We show that there is a function of one variable's worth of Lagrangians for a single Maxwell field coupled to gravity whose equations of motion admit electric-magnetic duality. Such Lagrangians are given by solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi…
A consistent guiding-center Hamiltonian theory is derived by Lie-transform perturbation method, with terms up to second order in magnetic-field nonuniformity. Consistency is demonstrated by showing that the guiding-center transformation…

The field equations in the nonsymmetric gravitational theory are derived from a Lagrangian density using a first-order formalism. Using the general covariance of the Lagrangian density, conservation laws and tensor identities are derived.…
In this note, we present a new proof of the solvability of the electrostatic Born-Infeld equation with radial charge, based on the conformal method and the Spacetime Positive Energy Theorem. An advantage of this approach is that the…
We study a partial differential relation that arises in the context of the Born-Infeld equations (an extension of the Maxwell's equations) by using Gromov's method of convex integration in the setting of divergence free fields.
We derive a Lagrangian based approach to study the compatible Hamiltonian structure of the dispersionless KdV and supersymmetric KdV hierarchies and claim that our treatment of the problem serves as a very useful supplement of the so-called…

Borell's formula is a stochastic variational formula for the log-Laplace transform of a function of a Gaussian vector. We establish an extension of this to the Riemannian setting and give a couple of applications, including a new proof of a…
This review is devoted to some aspects of non-linear Supersymmetry in four dimensions that can be efficiently described via nilpotent superfields, in both rigid and curved Superspace. Our focus is mainly on the partial breaking of rigid…

Motivated by the properties of matter quantum fields in curved space-times, we work out a gravity theory that combines the Born-Infeld gravity Lagrangian with an $f(R)$ piece. To avoid ghost-like instabilities, the theory is formulated…
