The concept of elementary particle rests on the idea that it is a physical system with no excited states, so that all possible kinematical states of the particle are just kinematical modifications of any one of them. The way of describing…

The energy of extended classical objects, such as vortices, depends on their shape. In particular, we show that the curvature energy of a kink in two spatial dimensions, as a prototype of extended classical solutions, is always negative. We…

A complete surface of constant mean curvature 1 (CMC-1) in hyperbolic 3-space with constant curvature -1 has two natural notions of "total curvature"-- one is the total absolute curvature which is the integral over the surface of the…
