ABSTRACT
Selfdual variational calculus is developed further and used to address questions of existence of local and global solutions for various parabolic semi-linear equations, and Hamiltonian systems of PDEs. This allows for the resolution of such equations under general time boundary conditions which include the more traditional ones such as initial value problems, periodic and anti-periodic orbits, but also yield new ones such as ï¿½periodic orbits up to an isometryï¿½ for evolution equations that may not have periodic solutions. In the process, we introduce a method for perturbing selfdual functionals in order to induce coercivity and compactness, without destroying the selfdual character of the system.

The multi-centre metrics are a family of euclidean solutions of the empty space Einstein equations with self-dual curvature. For this full class, we determine which metrics do exhibit an extra conserved quantity quadratic in the momenta, induced by a Killing-StÃ¤ckel tensor. Our systematic...

We present a new way of encoding a quantum computation into a three-local Hamiltonian. Our construction is novel in that it does not include any terms that induce legal-illegal clock transitions. Therefore, the weights of the terms in the Hamiltonian do not scale with the size of the problem as...
