It is well-known in the modified gravity scene that the calculation of junction conditions in certain complicated theories leads to ambiguities and conflicts between the various formulations. This paper introduces a general framework to…

The question of boundary conditions in conformal field theories is discussed, in the light of recent progress. Two kinds of boundary conditions are examined, along open boundaries of the system, or along closed curves or ``seams''. Solving…

Lately, to provide a solid ground for quantization of the open string theory with a constant B-field, it has been proposed to treat the boundary conditions as hamiltonian constraints. It seems that this proposal is quite general and should…

This manuscript provides a characterisation of the equivalence class of classical smooth Lagrangian densities that involve terms depending on two distinct points of the underlying Euclidean base space of the theory. Theories of this type…

In this paper, we study the boundary effect on the surface (or frame) tension of elastic membrane surface models. The frame tension generally depends only on the projected area of the boundary over which the surface spans. However, from a…

In this paper we consider second-order field theories in a variational setting. From the variational principle the Euler-Lagrange equations follow in an unambiguous way, but it is well known that this is not true for the Cartan form. This…

We define the notion of special Lagrangian curvature, showing how it may be interpreted as an alternative higher dimensional generalisation of two dimensional Gaussian curvature. We obtain first a local rigidity result for this curvature…

Over a bounded strictly convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smooth boundary, we establish a priori gradient estimate for an anisotropic mean curvature flow with prescribed contact angle and Neumann boundary conditions. The estimates…

Liouville conformal field theory describes a random geometry that fluctuates around a deterministic one: the unique solution of the problem of finding, within a given conformal class, a Riemannian metric with prescribed scalar and geodesic…

We show that some boundary conditions assumed at a thin membrane may result in normal diffusion not being the stochastic Markov process. We consider boundary conditions defined in terms of the Laplace transform in which there is a linear…

We formulate the most general gravitational models with constant negative curvature ("hyperbolic gravity") on an arbitrary orientable two-dimensional surface of genus $g$ with $b$ circle boundaries in terms of a $\text{PSL}(2,\mathbb…

Interacting field theories for systems with a free surface frequently exhibit distinct universality classes of boundary critical behaviors depending on gross surface properties. The boundary condition satisfied by the continuum field theory…

We consider a classical test particle subject to electromagnetic and gravitational fields, described by a Lagrangian depending on the acceleration and on a fundamental length. We associate to the particle a moving local reference frame and…

With an aim to include the contribution of surface tension in the action of the boundary, we define the tangential pressure in terms of surface tension and Normal curvature in a more naturally geometric way. First, we show that the negative…

In this paper, we build up Hill-type formula for linear Hamiltonian systems with Lagrangian boundary conditions, which include standard Neumann, Dirichlet boundary conditions. Such a kind of boundary conditions comes from the brake symmetry…

Here, we study a level-set forced mean curvature flow with the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. We first show that the solution is Lipschitz in time and locally Lipschitz in space. Then, under an additional condition on the forcing…

We review what is known about boundary conditions in General Relativity on a spacetime of Euclidean signature. The obvious Dirichlet boundary condition, in which one specifies the boundary geometry, is actually not elliptic and in general…

We introduce a new Neumann problem for the fractional Laplacian arising from a simple probabilistic consideration, and we discuss the basic properties of this model. We can consider both elliptic and parabolic equations in any domain. In…

In this paper, we prove long time existence and convergence results for a class of general curvature flows with Neumann boundary condition. This is the first result for the Neumann boundary problem of non Monge-Ampere type curvature…

In this work we present a generalized Brans-Dicke lagrangian including a non-minimally coupled Gauss-Bonnet term without imposing the vanishing torsion condition. In the resulting field equations, the torsion is closely related to the…
