This article provides a discussion on the construction of conformal Gaussian gauge systems to study the evolution of solutions to the Einstein field equations with positive Cosmological constant. This is done by means of a gauge based on the properties of conformal geodesics. The use of this gauge, combined with the extended conformal Einstein field equations, yields evolution equations in the form of a symmetric hyperbolic system for which standard Cauchy stability results can be employed. This strategy is used to study the global properties of de Sitter-like spacetimes with constant negative scalar curvature. It is then adapted to study the evolution of the Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime in the static region near the conformal boundary. This review is based on Minucci . 2021 . , 145026. (doi:10.1088/1361-6382/ac0356) and Minucci . 2023 . , 145005. (doi:10.1088/1361-6382/acdb3f).

Marginally outer trapped tubes in de Sitter spacetime.
Lett Math Phys

We prove two results which are relevant for constructing marginally outer trapped tubes (MOTTs) in de Sitter spacetime. The first one (Theorem 1) holds more generally, namely for spacetimes satisfying the null convergence condition and containing a timelike conformal Killing vector with a "temporal function". We show that all marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTSs) in such a spacetime are unstable.

- Optical fields on non-Euclidean geometries are gaining attention for their potential in manipulating light, especially through geodesic conformal transformation theory, which connects curved surfaces with gradient refractive indices.
- This research aims to apply this theory to toroidal surfaces, allowing for effective Gaussian beam focusing, despite the challenges posed by non-trivial topologies with multiple boundaries.
- To address the issues that arise from these complex boundaries, the study employs inversion transformations, providing a solution to improve the functionality of the gradient planar device.

An increasingly common viewpoint is that protein dynamics datasets reside in a nonlinear subspace of low conformational energy. Ideal data analysis tools should therefore account for such nonlinear geometry. The Riemannian geometry setting can be suitable for a variety of reasons.

In molecular dynamics simulations, rare events, such as protein folding, are typically studied using enhanced sampling techniques, most of which are based on the definition of a collective variable (CV) along which acceleration occurs. Obtaining an expressive CV is crucial, but often hindered by the lack of information about the particular event, e.g.

The topological properties of DNA have long been a focal point in biophysics. In the 1970s, White proposed that the topology of closed DNA double helix follows White's formula: L=W+T. However, there has been controversy in the calculation of DNA twisting number, partly due to discrepancies in the definition of torsion in differential geometry.
