In this work, the Minkowski functionals are used as a framework to study how morphology (i.e. the shape of a structure) and topology (i.e. how different structures are connected) influence wall adsorption and capillary condensation under…
We investigate symmetric oscillators, and in particular their quantization, by employing semiclassical and quantum phase functions introduced in the context of Liouville-Green transformations of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation. For anharmonic…

Binary systems of two compact objects circularize and spiral toward each other via the emission of gravitational waves. The coupling of the spins of each object with the orbital angular momentum causes the orbital plane to precess, which…

Minkowski functionals constitute a family of order parameters which discriminate spatial patterns according to size, shape and connectivity. Here we point out, that these scalar descriptors can be complemented by vector-valued curvature…
