Motivated by a recent model for elasto-plastic evolutions that are driven by the flow of dislocations, this work develops a theory of space-time integral currents with bounded variation in time, which enables a natural variational approach…

We study a two-dimensional Dunkl--Pauli oscillator in the presence of an Aharonov--Bohm (AB) flux. The combination of reflection symmetry (via Dunkl operators) and a topological gauge field imposes a nontrivial constraint on the admissible…

We study the asymptotic behavior of the volume preserving mean curvature and the Mullins-Sekerka flat flow in three dimensional space. Motivated by this we establish a 3D sharp quantitative version of the Alexandrov inequality for…

In this article, we prove a general and rather flexible upper bound for the heat kernel of a weighted heat operator on a closed manifold evolving by an intrinsic geometric flow. The proof is based on logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and…

In this paper, we derive explicit sharp two-sided estimates for the Dirichlet heat kernels of a large class of symmetric (but not necessarily rotationally symmetric) L\'evy processes on half spaces for all $t>0$. These L\'evy processes may…

Lott-Sturm-Villani theory of curvature on geodesic spaces has been extended to discrete graph spaces by C. L{\'e}onard by replacing W2-Wasserstein geodesics by Schr{\"o}odinger bridges in the definition of entropic curvature [23, 25, 24].…

Convection is a key transport phenomenon important in many different areas, from hydrodynamics and ocean circulation to planetary atmospheres or stellar physics. However its microscopic understanding still remains challenging. Here we…

We examine the L^2-gradient flow of Euler's elastic energy for closed curves in hyperbolic space and prove convergence to the global minimizer for initial curves with elastic energy bounded by 16. We show the sharpness of this bound by…

We discuss the heat content asymptotics associated with the heat flow out of a smooth compact manifold in a larger compact Riemannian manifold. Although there are no boundary conditions, the corresponding heat content asymptotics involve…

The local motion of a null curve in Minkowski 3-space induces an evolution equation for its Lorentz invariant curvature. Special motions are constructed whose induced evolution equations are the members of the KdV hierarchy. The null curves…

We propose a simple, self-consistent kinetic model for the evolution of a mixture of droplets and vapor expanding adiabatically in vacuum after rapid, almost isochoric heating. We study the evolution of the two-phase fluid at intermediate…

We relate the existence of many infinite geodesics on Alexandrov spaces to a statement about the average growth of volumes of balls. We deduce that the geodesic flow exists and preserves the Liouville measure in several important cases. The…

We consider a heat transmission problem across an irregular interface -- that is, non-Lipschitz or fractal -- between two media (a hot one and a cold one). The interface is modelled as the support of a d-upper regular measure. We introduce…
