We study the excitation of spatial patterns by resonant, multi-frequency forcing in systems undergoing a Hopf bifurcation to spatially homogeneous oscillations. Using weakly nonlinear analysis we show that for small amplitudes only stripe…

We consider the Gierer-Meinhardt system with small inhibitor diffusivity, very small activator diffusivity and a precursor inhomogeneity. For any given positive integer k we construct a spike cluster consisting of $k$ spikes which all…
The density of states of disordered systems in the Wigner-Dyson classes approaches some finite non-zero value at the mobility edge, whereas the density of states in systems of the chiral and Bogolubov-de Gennes classes shows a divergent or…
In this paper we show that if a linear cocycle is robustly periodical stable then it is uniformly stable.
We study the dynamical stability of the entanglement between the two spin ensembles in the presence of an environment. For a comparative study, we consider the two cases: a single spin ensemble, and two ensembles linearly coupled to a bath,…
We describe microcanonical phase transitions and instabilities of the ideal Fermi gas in general relativity at nonzero temperature confined in the interior of a spherical shell. The thermodynamic behaviour is governed by the compactness of…
We prove existence of finitely many ergodic equilibrium states for a large class of non-uniformly expanding local homeomorphisms on compact manifolds and Holder continuous potentials with not very large oscillation. No Markov structure is…
A discrete group is matricially stable if every function from the group to a complex unitary group that is "almost multiplicative" in the point-operator norm topology is "close" to a genuine unitary representation. It follows from a recent…
We prove that, except for a few cases, stable linearizability of finite subgroups of the plane Cremona group implies linearizability.
We formulate a stable reduction conjecture that extends Deligne-Mumford's stable reduction to higher dimensions and provide a simple proof that it holds in large characteristic, assuming two standard conjectures of the Minimal Model…
We study networks of coupled bistable elastic elements, recently proposed as a model for crumpled thin sheets. The networks are poised on the verge of a localized instability, and the model allows unique access to both local and global…
We discuss a property of our recently introduced generalized canonical ensemble (J. Stat. Phys. 119 (2005) 1283). We show that this ensemble can be used to transform metastable or unstable (nonequilibrium) states of the standard canonical…
We complete previous investigations on the dynamical stability of barotropic stars and collisionless stellar systems. A barotropic star that minimizes the energy functional at fixed mass is a nonlinearly dynamically stable stationary…
We study the nonlinear stability of a large class of inhomogeneous steady state solutions to the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model. Under a simple criterion, we prove the nonlinear stability of steady states which are decreasing functions…
We analyze the stability under time evolution of complexifier coherent states (CCS) in one-dimensional mechanical systems. A system of coherent states is called stable if it evolves into another coherent state. It turns out that a system…
We consider the existence and stability of static configurations of a scalar field in a five dimensional spacetime in which the extra spatial dimension is compactified on an $S^1/Z_2$ orbifold. For a wide class of potentials with multiple…
Let $M$ be a manifold with a volume form $\omega$ and $f : M \to M$ be a diffeomorphism of class $\mathcal{C}^1$ that preserves $\omega$. In this paper, we do \textit{not} assume $f$ is $\mathcal{C}^1$-generic. We have two main themes in…
Consistency conditions for nonminimally coupled $f(R)$ theories have been derived by requiring the absence of tachyons and instabilities in the scalar fluctuations. This note confirms these results and clarifies a subtlety regarding…
