Models of diffusion driven pattern formation that rely on the Turing mechanism are utilized in many areas of science. However, many such models suffer from the defect of requiring fine tuning of parameters or an unrealistic separation of…

We present a critical review about the study of linear perturbations of matched spacetimes including gauge problems. We analyse the freedom introduced in the perturbed matching by the presence of background symmetries and revisit the…
We study an ensemble of random matrices (the Rosenzweig-Porter model) which, in contrast to the standard Gaussian ensemble, is not invariant under changes of basis. We show that a rather complete understanding of its level correlations can…

We study the dynamics of holes and defects in the 1D complex Ginzburg--Landau equation in ordered and chaotic cases. Ordered hole--defect dynamics occurs when an unstable hole invades a plane wave state and periodically nucleates defects…
In this note, a brief introduction to the physical and mathematical background of the two-component Ginzburg-Landau theory is given. From this theory we derive a boundary value problem whose solution can be obtained in part by solving a…
We cannot guarantee that training datasets are representative of the distribution of inputs that will be encountered during deployment. So we must have confidence that our models do not over-rely on this assumption. To this end, we…
