Rational solutions of the defocusing nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger equation: Asymptotic analysis and soliton interactions

Tao Xu, Lingling Li, Min Li +2

In this paper, we obtain the Nth-order rational solutions for the defocusing nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger equation by the Darboux transformation and some limit technique. Then, v…

Naked singularity and black hole formation in self-similar Einstein-scalar fields with exponential potentials

Xuefeng Zhang, Xinliang An

Motivated by cosmic censorship in general relativity and string theory, we extend Christodoulou's celebrated examples of naked singularity formation in the Einstein-massless scalar…

CR Structures and Twisting Vacuum Spacetimes with Two Killing Vectors and Cosmological Constant: Type II and More Special

Xuefeng Zhang, Daniel Finley

Based on the CR formalism of algebraically special spacetimes by Hill, Lewandowski and Nurowski, we derive a nonlinear system of two real ODEs, of which the general solution determ…

Lower-order ODEs to determine new twisting type N Einstein spaces via CR geometry

Xuefeng Zhang, Daniel Finley

In the search for vacuum solutions, with or without a cosmological constant, of the Einstein field equations of Petrov type N with twisting principal null directions, the CR struct…
