The existing equilibrium statistical physics is based on application of standard quasiadditive integrals of motion, which include energy, momentum, rotation momentum, and number of particles. It is shown that this list is far from complete…
We establish both global existence and decay properties for solutions with small data for a general class of coupled system of tensorial quasilinear hyperbolic wave equations in three space dimensions, that covers the dynamical Einstein…
This note collects some results on the behaviour of screw dislocation in an elastic medium. By using a semi-discrete model, we are able to investigate two specific aspects of the dynamics, namely (i) the interaction with free boundaries and…
Using the continuous limit approximation in the dynamical system we study a nonlinear partial differential equation which corresponds to the generalization of both the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam and the Frenkel-Kontorova models. This generalized…
Discrete models of dislocations in cubic crystal lattices having one or two atoms per unit cell are proposed. These models have the standard linear anisotropic elasticity as their continuum limit and their main ingredients are the elastic…
Fracture involves interaction across large and small length scales. With the application of enough stress or strain to a brittle material, atomistic scale bonds will break, leading to fracture of the macroscopic specimen. From the…
Using a dynamical density functional theory we analyze the density profile of a colloidal liquid near a wall under shear flow. Due to the symmetries of the system considered, the naive application of dynamical density functional theory does…

The theory of the dislocation motion in the periodic potential relief of the crystal lattice (the Peierls-Nabarro barriers) is reviewed. On the basis of the kink mechanism the temperature dependence of the flow stress is described for a…
The thermodynamic dislocation theory presented in preceding papers is used here to describe shear-banding instabilities. Central ingredients of the theory are a thermodynamically defined effective configurational temperature, and a formula…
Space plasmas are generally characterized by non-Maxwellian distributions with suprathermal populations, as routinely revealed by in situ observations. Such departures from standard Maxwellian distributions can be understood as signatures…
Although glassy relaxation is typically associated with disorder, here we report on a new type of glassy dynamics relating to dislocations within 2-D crystals of colloidal dimers. Previous studies have demonstrated that dislocation motion…
Uniqueness of solutions in the linear theory of non-singular dislocations, studied as a special case of plasticity theory, is examined. The status of the classical, singular Volterra dislocation problem as a limit of plasticity problems is…
In dislocation-free martensites the components of the elastic strain tensor are constrained by the Saint-Venant compatibility condition which guarantees continuity of the body during external loading. However, in dislocated materials the…
The model of nonperturbative vacuum in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory coupled to a nonlinear spinor field is suggested. By analogy with Abelian magnetic monopole dominance in quantum chromodynamics, it is assumed that the dominant contribution to…
Until now, most of our knowledge about the universality class of crystal plasticity has come from simulations using discrete dislocation dynamics. These are force-controlled, typically at zero temperature, and deal with the creation and…
The concept of quasiparticles -- long-lived low-energy particle-like excitations -- has become a keystone of condensed quantum matter, where it explains a variety of emergent many-body phenomena, such as superfluidity and superconductivity.…
Despite the long history of dislocation-phonon interaction studies, there are many problems that have not been fully resolved during this development. These include an incompatibility between a perturbative approach and the long-range…
