This paper forms part of our ongoing works on the existence of complete non-compact free boundary minimal planes in an asymptotically flat three-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary. We set up the degree theory for the space of…
Fracture paths in quasi-two-dimenisonal (2D) media (e.g thin layers of materials, paper) are analyzed as self-affine graphs $h(x)$ of height $h$ as a function of length $x$. We show that these are multiscaling, in the sense that $n^{th}$…
We show that uniform lattices of isometries of products of real hyperbolic spaces act properly discontinuously and cocompactly on a median space. For lattices in products of at least two factors, this is the strongest degree of…
Finite-size scaling is investigated in detail around the critical point in the heavy-quark region of nonzero temperature QCD. Numerical simulations are performed with large spatial volumes up to the aspect ratio $N_s/N_t=12$ at a fixed…
The volume distance from a point p to a convex hypersurface M of the (N+1)-dimensional space is defined as the minimum (N+1)-volume of a region bounded by M and a hyperplane H through the point. This function is differentiable in a…
A numerical study of laminar flow through symmetric and slightly asymmetric sudden expansion, of expansion ratio 1:3, in channels with increasing cross section, is carried out using two different approaches - Conventional CFD and Lattice…
We analyze when integral points on the complement of a finite union of curves in $\mathbb{P}^2$ are potentially dense. We divide the analysis of these affine surfaces based on their logarithmic Kodaira dimension $\bar{\kappa}$. When…
In the paper, we study the plane Couette flow of a rarefied gas between two parallel infinite plates at $y=\pm L$ moving relative to each other with opposite velocities $(\pm \alpha L,0,0)$ along the $x$-direction. Assuming that the…
We relate some basic constructions of stochastic analysis to differential geometry, via random walk approximations. We consider walks on both Riemannian and sub-Riemannian manifolds in which the steps consist of travel along either…
Study of the KPZ universality class has seen the emergence of universal objects over the past decade which arise as the scaling limit of the member models. One such object is the directed landscape, and it is known that exactly solvable…
Simple time-reversible systems can generate {\it irreversible} flows satisfying the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Maps, and equivalent random walks, can also do this. We study a pair of time-reversible Baker Maps, $N2$ and $N3$, which…
In 1983, Aizenman, Chayes, Chayes, Fr\"ohlich, and Russo proved that $2$-dimensional Bernoulli plaquette percolation in $\mathbb{Z}^3$ exhibits a sharp phase transition for the event that a large rectangular loop is "bounded by a surface of…
We study the motion of sets by anisotropic curvature under a volume constraint in the plane. We establish the exponential convergence of the area-preserving anisotropic flat flow to a disjoint union of Wulff shapes of equal area, the…
We formulate a generalization of the volume conjecture for planar graphs. Denoting by <G, c> the Kauffman bracket of the graph G whose edges are decorated by real "colors" c, the conjecture states that, under suitable conditions, certain…
Given a map f:Z-->Z and an initial argument alpha, we can iterate the map to get a finite set of iterates modulo a prime p. In particular, for a quadratic map f(z)=z^2 +c, c constant, work by Pollard suggests that this set should have…
We discuss scaling limits of large bipartite planar maps. If p is a fixed integer strictly greater than 1, we consider a random planar map M(n) which is uniformly distributed over the set of all 2p-angulations with n faces. Then, at least…
We give some natural sufficient conditions for balls in a metric space to have small intersection. Roughly speaking, this happens when the metric space is (i) expanding and (ii) well-spread, and (iii) a certain random variable on the…
We present a systematic study of capillary filling for multi-phase flows by using mesoscopic lattice Boltzmann models describing a diffusive interface moving at a given contact angle with respect to the walls. We compare the numerical…
The Rolling Ball Theorem asserts that given a convex body K in Euclidean space and having a smooth surface bd(K) with all principal curvatures not exceeding c>0 at all boundary points, K necessarily has the property that to each boundary…
We investigate the random flight process that arises as the Boltzmann-Grad limit of a random scatterer Lorentz gas with variable scatterer density in a gravitational field. For power function densities we show how the parameters of the…
