Within the gauge-theoretic approach of gravity, the gauging of an enlarged symmetry of the tangent space in four dimensions allows gravity to be unified with internal interactions. We study the unification of the conformal and…

We study the problem of static, spherically symmetric, self-gravitating elastic matter distributions in Newtonian gravity. To this purpose we first introduce a new definition of homogeneous, spherically symmetric (hyper)elastic body in…
Rigid body dynamics on the rotation group have typically been represented in terms of rotation matrices, unit quaternions, or local coordinates, such as Euler angles. Due to the coordinate singularities associated with local coordinate…

We consider the dynamics and symplectic reduction of the 2-body problem on a sphere of arbitrary dimension. It suffices to consider the case for when the sphere is 3-dimensional and where we take the group of symmetries to be $SO(4)$. As…

We show that two properly embedded compact surfaces in an orientable 4-manifold are cobordant if and only if they are $\mathbb{Z}/2$-homologous and either the 4-manifold has boundary or the surfaces have the same normal Euler number. If the…
We consider the classical three-body problem with an arbitrary pair potential which depends on the inter-body distance. A general three-body configuration is set by three "radial" and three angular variables, which determine the shape and…
