We conduct a comprehensive axisymmetric, local linear mode analysis of a stratified, differentially rotating disk permeated by a toroidal magnetic field which could provide significant pressure support. In the adiabatic limit, we derive a…

The problem of the stability of magnetic fields in stars has a long history and has been investigated in detail in perturbation theory. Here we consider the nonlinear evolution of a non-rotating neutron star with a purely poloidal magnetic…

We initiate the study of stability of solutions of the 2D inviscid incompressible porous medium equation (IPM). We begin by classifying all stationary solutions of the inviscid IPM under mild conditions. We then prove some linear stability…

We numerically investigate the stability and linear oscillatory behavior of a naturally diverging mass whose potential energy is harmonically modulated. It is known that in the Kapitza limit, i.e. when the period of modulation is much…

I decompose the unstable growing modes of stellar disks to their Fourier components and present the physical mechanism of instabilities in the context of resonances. When the equilibrium distribution function is a non-uniform function of…

Magnetic buoyancy instability plays an important role in the evolution of astrophysical magnetic fields. Here we revisit the problem introduced by \citet{Gilman_1970} of the short wavelength linear stability of a plane layer of compressible…

Magnetic monopoles arise generically in unified theories and offer a natural explanation of charge quantization. Beyond collider searches and cosmic-ray experiments, their flux is constrained by Parker-type bounds requiring galactic…

Magneto-rotational instability (MRI) and gravitational instability (GI) are the two principle routes to turbulent angular momentum transport in accretion disks. Protoplanetary disks may develop both. This paper aims to reinvigorate interest…

The effect of a magnetic field on the linear phase of the advective-acoustic instability is investigated, as a first step toward a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory of the stationary accretion shock instability taking place during stellar…

We study the linear $m=1$ counter-rotating instability in a two-component, nearly Keplerian disc. Our goal is to understand these \emph{slow} modes in discs orbiting massive black holes in galactic nuclei. They are of interest not only…

We establish the dynamical instability of a static, spherically symmetric, and infinitesimally thin shell in general relativity. The shell is made up of a perfect fluid with a barotropic equation of state, and it produces a Schwarzschild…

The puzzle of birth velocities of pulsars (pulsar kicks) could be solved by an asymmetric explosion of type II Supernovae. We propose a simple hydrodynamical mechanism in order to explain this asymmetry, through the advective-acoustic cycle…

We study the final equilibrium states of the Parker instability arising from an initially unstable cylindrical equilibrium configuration of gas in the presence of a radial gravitational field and a longitudinal magnetic field. The aim of…

We study spherical and disk clusters in a near-Keplerian potential of galactic centers or massive black holes. In such a potential orbit precession is commonly retrograde, i.e. direction of the orbit precession is opposite to the orbital…

We review our recent work on linear stability for scalar perturbations of Kerr spacetimes, that is to say, boundedness and decay properties for solutions of the scalar wave equation \Box_g{\psi} = 0 on Kerr exterior backgrounds. We begin…

In this paper, we analyze the linear stability of a stellar accretion disk, having a stratified morphology. The study is performed in the framework of ideal magneto-hydrodynamics and therefore it results in a characterization of the linear…

Accretion disks around stars, or other central massive bodies, can support long-lived, slowly precessing $m=1$ disturbances in which the fluid motion is nearly Keplerian with non-zero eccentricity. We study such `slow modes' in disks that…

We study linear cosmological perturbations in a previously introduced family of deformations of general relativity characterized by the absence of new degrees of freedom. The homogeneous and isotropic background in this class of theories is…

We find and characterize the instabilities of the repulsive Hubbard chain in a magnetic field by studing all response functions at low frequency \omega and arbitrary momentum. The instabilities occur at momenta which are simple combinations…

To find out whether toroidal field can stably exist in galaxies the current-driven instability of toroidal magnetic fields is considered under the influence of an axial magnetic field component and under the influence of both rigid and…
