In this article, microscopic understanding of the surface tension are provided, which needs basic knowledge of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics as well as continuum mechanics. By introducing the intermolecular interaction potential and…
These are expanded lecture notes for the summer school on Berkovich spaces that took place at the Institut de Math\'ematiques de Jussieu, Paris in 2010. They serve to illustrate some techniques and results from the dynamics on…
Conventionally, surface tension is expressed as a force per unit length or as an energy per unit area. In this paper, we propose a thought experiment that consists of replacing the surface tension with an equivalent force per unit area…
These notes overlap with lectures given at the TASI summer schools in 2014 and 2011, as well as at the European School of High Energy Physics in 2013. This is primarily an attempt at transcribing my hand-written notes, with emphasis on…
