Dense non-Brownian suspension flows of hard particles display mystifying properties: as the jamming threshold is approached, the viscosity diverges, as well as a length scale that can be identified from velocity correlations. To unravel the…

We develop an optimal regularity theory for $L^p$-viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations in nondivergence form whose gradient growth is described through a Hamiltonian function with measurable and possibly…

Let $(M,g(t))$, $0\le t\le T$, be a n-dimensional complete noncompact manifold, $n\ge 2$, with bounded curvatures and metric $g(t)$ evolving by the Ricci flow $\frac{\partial g_{ij}}{\partial t}=-2R_{ij}$. We will extend the result of L. Ma…

This paper generalizes the results obtained by the authors in \cite{dangHomogenizationNondiluteSuspension2021} concerning the homogenization of a non-dilute suspension of magnetic particles in a viscous flow. More specifically, in this…

We consider the dynamics of vector fields on three-manifolds which are constrained to lie within a plane field, such as occurs in nonholonomic dynamics. On compact manifolds, such vector fields force dynamics beyond that of a gradient flow,…

In this paper, we prove that every real analytic totally nondegenerate model CR manifold of length >= 3 has rigidity. This result was actually conjectured before by Valerii Beloshapka as the so-called "maximum conjecture". It follows that…

We find upper bounds for the essential dimension of various moduli stacks of $\sln$-bundles over a curve. When $n$ is a prime power, our calculation computes the essential dimension of the stack of stable bundles exactly and the essential…

For $A\in M^{2\times 2}$ let $S(A)=\sqrt{A^T A}$, i.e. the symmetric part of the polar decomposition of $A$. We consider the relation between two quasiregular mappings whose symmetric part of gradient are close. Our main result is the…

This article addresses the solvability of the multi-dimensional divergence-curl problem with a no-slip boundary condition. A solvability criterion is derived as an orthogonality condition of the vorticity function to pseudo-harmonic fields.…

We introduce a new class of mixed finite element methods for 2D and 3D compressible nonlinear elasticity. The independent unknowns of these conformal methods are displacement, displacement gradient, and the first Piola-Kirchhoff stress…

Let $X$ be a semistable curve and $L$ a line bundle whose multidegree is uniform, i.e., in the range between those of the structure sheaf and the dualizing sheaf of $X$. We establish an upper bound for $h^0(X,L)$, which generalizes the…

Many suspensions contain particles with complex shapes that are affected not only by hydrodynamics, but also by thermal fluctuations, internal kinematic constraints and other long-range non-hydrodynamic interactions. Modeling these systems…

This article presents computationally efficient algorithms for modeling two special cases of rigid contact---contact with only viscous friction and contact without slip---that have particularly useful applications in robotic locomotion and…

We establish a rigidity theorem for Brendle and Hung's recent systolic inequality, which involves Gromov's notion of \(T^{\rtimes}\)-stabilized scalar curvature. Our primary technique is the construction of foliations by free boundary…

In this paper we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a smooth surface in Rn+1 to admit a local 1-quasiconformal parameterization by a domain in Rn (n >= 3). We then apply these conditions to specific hypersurfaces such as…

The mean ($\kappa$) and Gaussian ($\bar{\kappa}$) bending rigidities of liquid-liquid interfaces, of importance for shape fluctuations and topology of interfaces, respectively, are not yet established: even their signs are debated. Using…

By exploiting the conformality of a warped product metric with a direct product metric, we develop a new connection on a twisted spinor bundle and its associated Dirac operator. We obtain a Llarull type scalar curvature rigidity for a…

We prove the following comparison theorem for metrics with nonnegative scalar curvature, also known as the dihedral rigidity conjecture by Gromov: for $n\le 7$, if an $n$-dimensional prism has nonnegative scalar curvature and weakly mean…

We consider the adsorption kinetics of a regular block-copolymer of total length $N$ and block size $M$ at a selective liquid-liquid interface in the limit of strong localization. We propose a simple analytic theory based on scaling…

The restriction problem is better understood for hypersurfaces and recent progresses have been made by bilinear and multilinear approaches and most recently polynomial partitioning method which is combined with those estimates. However, for…
