We explore how thermal fluctuations affect the mechanics of thin amorphous spherical shells. In flat membranes with a shear modulus, thermal fluctuations increase the bending rigidity and reduce the in-plane elastic moduli in a…
Spiral waves are striking self-organized coherent structures that organize spatio-temporal dynamics in dissipative, spatially extended systems. In this paper, we provide a conceptual approach to various properties of spiral waves. Rather…
This article is focused on two related topics within the study of partial differential equations (PDEs) that illustrate a beautiful connection between dynamics, topology, and analysis: stability and spatial dynamics. The first is a property…
The subject of this paper are spherically symmetric thin shells made of barotropic ideal fluid and moving under the influence of their own gravitational field as well as that of a central black hole; the cosmological constant is assumed to…
We investigate a new thin-shell wormhole constructed by surgically grafting two regular charged black holes arising from the action using nonlinear electrodynamics coupled to general relativity. The stress-energy components within the shell…
We investigate experimentally and numerically the defect configurations emerging when a cholesteric liquid crystal is confined to a spherical shell. We uncover a rich scenario of defect configurations, some of them non-existent in nematic…
The energetics of transformation of a planar fragment of a graphite monolayer into a spherical cluster is studied. The path considered is that a flat cluster rolls up into a segment of a spherical shell. The energy landscape of the process…
We explore numerically the evolution of a collapsing spherical shell of charged, massless scalar field. We obtain an external \RN space-time, and an inner space-time that is bounded by a singularity on the Cauchy Horizon. We compare these…
Fundamental theories and models of many-body physics can be probed in experiments on ultracold atoms held in place by electromagnetic fields. In particular, of considerable interest are systems under curved confinement, since they can yield…
In this work, we analyse static spherically symmetric solutions in the framework of mimetic gravity, an extension of general relativity where the conformal degree of freedom of gravity is isolated in a covariant fashion. Here we extend…
Dynamics of a null thin shell immersed in a generic spherically symmetric spacetime is obtained within the distributional formalism. It has been shown that the distributional formalism leads to the same result as in the conventional…

We derive global weak solutions of Einstein's equations for spherically symmetric dust-filled space-times which admit shell-crossing singularities. In the marginally bound case, the solutions are weak solutions of a conservation law. In the…
In this paper we consider a semitetrad covariant decomposition of spherically symmetric spacetimes and find a governing hyperbolic equation of the Gaussian curvature of two dimensional spherical shells, that emerges due to the…
Stellar shells observed in many giant elliptical and lenticular as well as a few spiral and dwarf galaxies presumably result from radial minor mergers of galaxies. We show that the line-of-sight velocity distribution of the shells has a…
In this paper we study the dynamics of self gravitating spherically symmetric thin shells of counter rotating particles. We consider all possible velocity distributions for the particles, and show that the equations of motion by themselves…
In this work, spherically symmetric thin-shell wormholes with a conformally invariant Maxwell field for $N$-dimensional $F(R)$ gravity and constant scalar curvature $R$ are built. Two cases are considered: symmetric wormholes and asymmetric…

This thesis is devoted to the construction and study of D-branes in some curved space-times in string theory. On the one hand, those D-branes are described geometrically as submanifolds subject to Born-Infeld effective dynamics. On the…
