The quantized magnetic flux $\Phi=-4\pi N\sk, N=0,\pm1,...$ of non-topological vortices in the non-relativistic Chern-Simons theory is related to the topological degree of the $S^2\to S^2$ mapping defined by lifting the problem to the…

We present a status report on a discrete approach to the the near-equilibrium statistical theory of three-dimensional turbulence, which generalizes earlier work by no longer requiring that the vorticity field be a union of discrete vortex…
This paper presents results on the extent to which mean curvature data can be used to determine a surface in space or its shape. The emphasis is on Bonnet's problem: classify and study the surface immersions in $\R^3$ whose shape is not…
It is known that planar disks and small spherical caps are the only constant mean curvature graphs whose boundary is a round circle. Usually, the proof invokes the Maximum Principle for elliptic equations. This paper presents a new proof of…
