We use a tangent method approach to obtain the arctic curve in a model of non-intersecting lattice paths within the first quadrant, including a q-dependent weight associated with the area delimited by the paths. Our model is characterized…
Exactly solvable rererence potentials of several smoothly joined Morse-type components were constructed for the lowest two excimer states of Ar2 molecule. The parameters of the potentials have been ascertained by fitting to the experimental…
We prove the removal singularity results for maps with bounded energy from the unit disk $B$ of $R^2$ centered at the origin to a closed Riemannian manifold whose tension field is unbounded in $L^2(B)$ but satisfies the following condition:…
We establish a quantitative rigidity estimate for two-well frame-indifferent nonlinear energies, in the case in which the two wells have exactly one rank-one connection. Building upon this novel rigidity result, we then analyze solid-solid…
The model of a two-electron quantum dot, confined to move in a two dimensional flat space, is revisited. Generally, it is argued that the solutions of this model obtained by solving a biconfluent Heun equation have some limitations. In…
We study the highly anisotropic energy of two-dimensional unit vector fields given by \begin{align*} E_\epsilon(u)= \int_{\Omega} (\mathrm{div}\,u)^2 + \epsilon(\mathrm{curl}\,u)^2\, dx\,, \quad u\colon\Omega\subset\mathbb R^2\to\mathbb…
We consider a quantum particle in a waveguide which consists of an infinite straight Dirichlet strip divided by a thin semitransparent barrier on a line parallel to the walls which is modeled by a $\delta$ potential. We show that if the…
Currently, the best upper bounds on the number of rational points on an absolutely irreducible, smooth, projective algebraic curve of genus g defined over a finite field F_q come either from Serre's refinement of the Weil bound if the genus…
We study incidences between points and algebraic curves in three dimensions, taken from a family $C$ of curves that have almost two degrees of freedom, meaning that every pair of curves intersect in $O(1)$ points, for any pair of points…

We introduce a generalization of Mobius energy for knots to an energy functional for tubular neighbourhoods of closed inextensible curves. We prove the continuity of the energy and its boundedness for physically admissible tubes without…
We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the two dimensional incompressible Euler equations in the exterior of a curve when the curve shrinks to a point. This work links two previous results: [Iftimie, Lopes Filho and Nussenzveig…
Analysis of edge-state energies in the integer quantum Hall effect is carried out within the semiclassical approximation. When the system is wide so that each edge can be considered separatly, this problem is equivalent to that of a one…
Given a subgroup $\Gamma$ of rational points on an elliptic curve $E$ defined over ${\mathbf Q}$ of rank $r \ge 1$ and any sufficiently large $x \ge 2$, assuming that the rank of $\Gamma$ is less than $r$, we give upper and lower bounds on…
Two-component, ideal, self-gravitating fluids are conceived as macrogases, and the related equation of state is expressed using the virial theorem for subsystems, under the restriction of homeoidally striated density profiles. Shallower…
We show that for a quantum completely integrable system in two dimensions,the $L^{2}$-normalized joint eigenfunctions of the commuting semiclassical pseudodifferential operators satisfy restriction bounds ofthe form $ \int_{\gamma}…
In this work, a quantum dot couples to two helical edge states of a 2D topological insulator through weak tunnelings is studied. We show that if the electron interactions on the edge states are repulsive, with Luttinger liquid parameter $ K…
Tate's algorithm tells us that for an elliptic curve $E$ over a local field $K$ of residue characteristic $\geq 5$, $E/K$ has potentially good reduction if and only if $\text{ord}(j_E)\geq 0$. It also tells us that when $E/K$ is semistable…
We analyze transition potentials $(V(r) \stackrel{r\sim 0}{\rightarrow} {\alpha r^{-2}})$ in non-relativistic quantum mechanics using the techniques of supersymmetry. For the range $-1/4 < \alpha < 3/4$, the eigenvalue problem becomes…
We investigate bound state solutions of the 2D Schr\"odinger equation with a dipole potential originating from the elastic effects of a single edge dislocation. The knowledge of these states could be useful for understanding a wide variety…
