Harmonic Maps on Smooth Metric Measure Spaces and on Riemannian Polyhedra

This thesis is a study of harmonic maps in two different settings. The first part is concerned with harmonic maps from smooth metric measure spaces to Riemannian manifolds. The second part is study of harmonic maps from Riemannian polyhedra to non-positive ...

A positive mass theorem for two spatial dimensions

Willie Wai Yeung Wong

We observe that an analogue of the Positive Mass Theorem in the time-symmetric case for three-space-time-dimensional general relativity follows trivially from the Gauss-Bonnet theorem. In this case we also have that the spatial slice is diffeomorphic to $\ ...

Gravitating field-theoretical branes and their excitations

Katarzyna Zuleta Estrugo

This thesis is devoted to studying field-theoretical branes in warped geometries, with emphasis on brane excitations and properties of background solutions. Firstly, we examine the features of a model in which our universe is represented by a local string- ...

Classical and quantum consistency of the DGP model

Riccardo Rattazzi

We study the Dvati-Gabadadze-Porrati model by the method of the boundary effective action. The truncation of this action to the bending mode pi consistently describes physics in a wide range of regimes both at the classical and at the quantum level. The Va ...
