We consider a family of directed exponential random graph models parametrized by edges and outward stars. Much of the important statistical content of such models is given by the normalization constant of the models, and in particular, an…
Motivated by the century-old problem of modeling the electron as a pointlike particle with finite self energy, we develop a new class of nonlinear perturbations of Maxwell's electrodynamics inspired by, but distinct from, the Born--Infeld…

Given interpolation points $P_1,P_2,\ldots,P_n$ in the plane, it is known that there does not exist an interpolating curve with minimal bending energy, unless the given points lie sequentially along a line. We say than an interpolating…
Quantum energy inequalities (QEIs) are lower bounds on the averaged energy density of a quantum field. They have been proved for various field theories in general curved spacetimes but the explicit lower bound is not easily calculated in…
It is constructively proved that for class $A_{r,\gamma}=\{q\in L_{1,loc}(0,1): q\leq 0, \int_0^1 rq^\gamma\,dx\leqslant 1\}$, where $r\in C[0,1]$ is uniformly positive weight and $\gamma>1$, there exists a unique potential $\hat q\in…
This paper is concerned with an optimal control problem subject to the $H^1$-critical defocusing semilinear wave equation on a smooth and bounded domain in three spatial dimensions. Due to the criticality of the nonlinearity in the wave…
This work is devoted to infinite-energy solutions of semi-linear wave equations in unbounded smooth domains of $\mathbb{R}^3$ with fractional damping of the form $(-\Delta_x+1)^\frac{1}{2}\partial_t u$. The work extends previously known…
We consider elliptic curves defined by an equation of the form $y^2=x^3+f(t)$, where $f\in k[t]$ has coefficients in a perfect field $k$ of characteristic not $2$ or $3$. By performing $2$ and $3$-descent, we obtain, under suitable…
Given an integer $\gamma\geq 2$ and an odd prime power $q$ we show that for every large genus $g$ there exists a non-singular curve $C$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ of genus $g$ and gonality $\gamma$ and with exactly $\gamma(q+1)$…
In this paper we study the $L^2$-gradient flow of the penalized elastic energy on networks of $q$-curves in $\R^{n}$ for $q \geq 3$. Each curve is fixed at one end-point and at the other is joint to the other curves at a movable…
We define a deformed kinetic energy operator for a discrete position space with a finite number of points. The structure may be either periodic or nonperiodic with well-defined end points. It is shown that for the nonperiodic case the…
We establish some new results about the $\Gamma$-limit, with respect to the $L^1$-topology, of two different (but related) phase-field approximations of the so-called Euler's Elastica Bending Energy for curves in the plane.
We show the existence of toric resolution tower for an irreducible curve singularity which is explicitly described by Tschirnhausen polynomials. We deduce for a smooth affine plane curve from its topology restrictions for its singularity at…
We establish long-time existence of Banach gradient flows for generalised integral Menger curvatures and tangent-point energies, and for O'Hara's self-repulsive potentials $E^{\alpha,p}$. In order to do so, we employ the theory of curves of…
The branch points of individual thermal self-energy diagrams at $k^{2}=4m^{2}, k^{2}=9m^{2},...$ are shown not to be branch points of the full thermal self-energy. Branch points of the full theory are determined by the complex,…
The model of a two-electron quantum dot, confined to move in a two dimensional flat space, in the presence of an external harmonic oscillator potential, is revisited for a specific purpose. Indeed, eigenvalues and eigenstates of the bound…
Exact calculations are given for the Casimir energy for various fields in $R\times S^3$ geometry. The Green's function method naturally gives a result in a form convenient in the high-temperature limit, while the statistical mechanical…
