On the spin content of the classical massless Rarita-Schwinger system
We analyze the Rarita-Schwinger massless theory in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approaches. At the Lagrangian level, the standard gamma-trace gauge fixing constraint leaves a 1/2 and a 3/2 propagating Poincaré group helicities. At the Hamiltonian level,

About the geographic grid of the three-dimensional hypersphere [PDF]
According to the Poincaré conjecture (1904) proved by Grigory Perelman (2002-2003) that any simply connected compact three- dimensional manifold without edges is homeomorphic to a three- dimensional hypersphere [1], to solve the problems of visualizing ...

Is the horizon of an eternal black hole really smooth?
We point out that in many eternal black holes, including a Schwarzschild eternal black hole and an eternal black hole in AdS 5, instant folded strings are created in the past wedge and render the region just outside the horizon singular.

The Global Attractor of the Allen-Cahn Equation on the Sphere
In this paper we study the attractor of a parabolic semiflow generated by a singularly perturbed PDE with a non-linear term given by a bistable potential, in an oval surface; the Allen-Cahn equation being a prototypical example.

With one exception, all known non-supersymmetric AdS4 and AdS5 vacua of gauged maximal supergravities that descend from string and M theory have been shown to have modes with mass below the BF bound.

Moduli space holography and the finiteness of flux vacua
A holographic perspective to study and characterize field spaces that arise in string compactifications is suggested. A concrete correspondence is developed by studying two-dimensional moduli spaces in supersymmetric string compactifications.

Heegaard splittings and Morse-Smale flows
We describe three theorems which summarize what survives in three dimensions of Smale's proof of the higher-dimensional Poincaré conjecture. The proofs require Smale's cancellation lemma and a lemma asserting the existence of a 2-gon. Such 2-gons are the

Geometry of massless scattering in integrable superstring
We consider the action of the q-deformed Poincaré superalgebra on the massless non-relativistic R-matrix in ordinary (undeformed) integrable AdS 2 × S 2 × T 6 type IIB superstring theory. The boost generator acts non-trivially on the R-matrix, confirming

The boostless bootstrap: amplitudes without Lorentz boosts
Poincaré invariance is a well-tested symmetry of nature and sits at the core of our description of relativistic particles and gravity. At the same time, in most systems Poincaré invariance is not a symmetry of the ground state and is hence broken ...

Topology of 3-dimensional manifolds [PDF]
This is the second paper from a trio which reviews some of the progress in low dimensional topology in the past century. Starting with the work of Poincare in the last years of 19th century and first few years of 20th century, we review the major steps ...
