We study two problems concerning harmonic measure on "champagne subdomains" of the unit disk. These domains are obtained by removing from the unit disk little disks around sequences of points with a uniform distribution with respect to the…
This note proves that the separation convergence towards the uniform distribution abruptly occurs at times around ln(n)/n for the (time-accelerated by 2) Brownian motion on the sphere with a high dimension n. The arguments are based on a…
For regular one-dimensional variational problems, Ball and Nadirashvilli introduced the notion of the universal singular set of a Lagrangian L and established its topological negligibility. This set is defined to be the set of all points in…
The paper elucidates the relationship between the density of a Banach space and possible sizes of well-separated subsets of its unit sphere. For example, it is proved that for a large enough space $X$, the unit sphere $S_X$ always contains…
This paper introduces a natural definition for the volume of the unit ball in $n$-dimensional normed spaces $\mathbb{R}^n$. This definition preserves the Euclidean relation $P(B)/V(B)=n$ between the perimiter and the volume of the unit ball…
We prove topological regularity results for isoperimetric sets in PI spaces having a suitable deformation property, which prescribes a control on the increment of the perimeter of sets under perturbations with balls. More precisely, we…
We are concerned with unbounded sets of $\mathbb{R}^N$ whose boundary has constant nonlocal (or fractional) mean curvature, which we call CNMC sets. This is the equation associated to critical points of the fractional perimeter functional…
A $SU(N)_L\times SU(N)_R$ gauge theory for a scalar multiplet $Y$ transforming in the bi-fundamental representation $(N,\bar N)$ preserves, for $N>4$, an accidental $U(1)$ symmetry firstly broken at operator dimension $N$. Two…
We show that the biggest possible average set size in the complement $2^{\{1,2,\ldots, n\}} \setminus A$ of a union-closed family $A \subset 2^{\{1,2, \ldots, n\}}$ is $\tfrac{n+1}{2}$. With the same proof we get a sharp upper bound for the…
We discuss dynamical breaking of non-abelian gauge groups in three dimensional (lattice) gauge systems via the formation of fermion condensates. A physically relevant example, motivated by condensed-matter physics, is that of a fermionic…
The union-closed sets conjecture states that if a family of sets $\mathcal{A} \neq \{\emptyset\}$ is union-closed, then there is an element which belongs to at least half the sets in $\mathcal{A}$. In 2001, D. Reimer showed that the average…
The irreversible behavior of a highly confined non-Brownian suspension of spherical particles at low Reynolds number in a Newtonian fluid is studied experimentally and numerically. In experiment, the suspension is confined in a thin…
We investigate the possibility to find an ultraviolet completion of the simple extensions of the Standard Model where baryon number is a local symmetry. In the context of such theories one can understand the spontaneous breaking of baryon…
We find a universal lower bound on locally accessible information for arbitrary bipartite quantum ensembles, when one of the parties is two-dimensional. In higher dimensions and in higher number of parties, the lower bound is on accessible…
We discuss the possibility of obtaining a non-abelian discrete flavor symmetry from an underlying continuous, possibly gauged, flavor symmetry SU(2) or SU(3) through spontaneous symmetry breaking. We consider all possible cases, where the…
In this paper we consider the one-phase Stefan problem with surface tension, set in a two-dimensional strip-like geometry, with periodic boundary conditions respect to the horizontal direction $x_1\in\mathbb{T}$. We prove that the system is…
We study the problem of existence of regions separating a given amount of volume with the least possible perimeter inside a Euclidean cone. Our main result shows that nonexistence for a given volume implies that the isoperimetric profile of…
We study spherical completeness of ball spaces and its stability under expansions. We give some criteria for ball spaces that guarantee that spherical completeness is preserved when the ball space is closed under unions of chains. This…
Within the Landau-de Gennes theory of liquid crystals, we study theoretically the equilibrium configurations with uniaxial symmetry. We show that the uniaxial symmetry constraint is very restrictive and can in general not be satisfied,…
We present a simple four-dimensional model in which anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking naturally dominates. The central ingredient is that the hidden sector is near a strongly-coupled infrared fixed-point for several decades of energy…
