The Bernstein Conjecture, Minimal Cones, and Critical Dimensions
Gary W. Gibbons, Kei-ichi Maeda, Umpei Miyamoto
Minimal surfaces and domain walls play important roles in various contexts of spacetime physics as well as material science. In this paper, we first review the Bernstein conjecture…
Gravitating Opposites Attract
Robert Beig, Gary W. Gibbons, Richard M. Schoen
Generalizing previous work by two of us, we prove the non-existence of certain stationary configurations in General Relativity having a spatial reflection symmetry across a non-com…
Gravitational Dual of Tachyon Condensation
Gary W. Gibbons, Koji Hashimoto, Shinji Hirano
We study a system of N D3-branes in which open string tachyons survive in the low energy alpha' -> 0 limit. We compute the height of the tachyon potential both in the weak and stro…
Deformed General Relativity and Torsion
Gary W. Gibbons, Steffen Gielen
We argue that the natural framework for embedding the ideas of deformed, or doubly, special relativity (DSR) into a curved spacetime is a generalisation of Einstein-Cartan theory,…
Birkhoff's invariant and Thorne's Hoop Conjecture
G. W. Gibbons
I propose a sharp form of Thorne's hoop conjecture which relates Birkhoff's invariant for an outermost apparent horizon to its mass, . I prove the conje…
Repulsons in the Myers-Perry Family
Gary Gibbons, Hideo Kodama
In this paper, we show that curvature-regular asymptotically flat solitons with negative mass are contained in the Myers-Perry family of odd spacetime dimensions. These solitons do…
