We consider an elastic composite material containing particulate inclusions in a soft elastic matrix that is bounded by a rigid wall, e.g., the substrate. If such a composite serves as a soft actuator, forces are imposed on or induced…
We extend non-emtpyness and irreducibility of Hassett divisors to the moduli spaces of $M$-polarizable cubic fourfolds for higher rank lattices $M$, which in turn provides a systematic approach for describing the irreducible components of…
Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a rooted and weighted tree, where the weight of any node is equal to the sum of the weights of its children. The popular Treemap algorithm visualizes such a tree as a hierarchical partition of a square into rectangles,…
We consider complex eigenstates of unstable Hamiltonian and its physically meaningful regions. Starting from a simple model of a discrete state interacting with a continuum via a general potential, we show that its Lippmann-Schwinger…
We study a semilinear equation involving the fractional Laplacian on the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$. Unlike in conformally compact Einstein manifolds, the fractional Laplacian on $\mathbb{H}^n$ does not enjoy conformal covariance. By…
We critically compare the practicality and accuracy of numerical approximations of phase field models and sharp interface models of solidification. Particular emphasis is put on Stefan problems, and their quasi-static variants, with…
Over the last few decades, phase-field equations have found increasing applicability in a wide range of mathematical-scientific fields (e.g. geometric PDEs and mean curvature flow, materials science for the study of phase transitions) but…
We introduce the notion of fundamental heap for compact orientable surfaces with boundary embedded in $3$-space, which is an isotopy invariant of the embedding. It is a group, endowed with a ternary heap operation, defined using diagrams of…
A singularity on the negative fugacity axis of the hard-square lattice gas is investigated in terms of numerical diagonalization of transfer matrices. The location of the singular point $z_c^-$ and the critical exponent $\nu$ are accurately…
The partition function and the one- and two-body distribution functions are evaluated for two hard spheres with different sizes constrained into a spherical pore. The equivalent problem for hard disks is addressed too. We establish a…
We construct families of exotic spin-1/2 chains using a procedure called ``hard rod deformation''. We treat both integrable and non-integrable examples. The models possess a large non-commutative symmetry algebra, which is generated by…
We derive a sharp inequality relating the second and fourth elementary symmetric functions of the eigenvalues of a trace-free matrix and give two applications. First, we give a new proof of the classification of conformally flat…
We introduce a new phase-field model which allows for simulation of incoherent solid/solid transformations. Contrary to previous models which impose coherency at the interface, the zero shear-stress condition characteristic of incoherent…
In this paper we give a negative answer to the question posed in [15, Open Question 2.1] about possible gains of integrability of determinants of divergence-free, non-negative definite matrix-fields. We also analyze the case in which the…
We construct the ($\beta$-deformed) partition function hierarchies with $W$-representations. Based on the $W$-representations, we analyze the superintegrability property and derive their character expansions with respect to the Schur…
The dynamics of sharp interfaces separating two non-hydrostatically stressed solids is analyzed using the idea that the rate of mass transport across the interface is proportional to the thermodynamic potential difference across the…
We characterize the geometric moduli of non-Kaehler manifolds with torsion. Heterotic supersymmetric flux compactifications require that the six-dimensional internal manifold be balanced, the gauge bundle be hermitian Yang-Mills, and also…
We study various classes of real hypersurfaces that are not embeddable into more special hypersurfaces in higher dimension, such as spheres, real algebraic compact strongly pseudoconvex hypersurfaces or compact pseudoconvex hypersurfaces of…
In this paper, we prove the existence of a crystallization transition for a family of hard-core particle models on periodic graphs in arbitrary dimensions. We establish a criterion under which crystallization occurs at sufficiently high…
Using Density Functional Theory we theoretically study the orientational properties of uniform phases of hard kites -- two isosceles triangles joined by their common base. Two approximations are used: Scaled Particle Theory, and a new…
