We show that the following geometric properties of the motion of discrete and continuous curves select integrable dynamics: i) the motion of the curve takes place in the N dimensional sphere of radius R, ii) the curve does not stretch…
The present paper extends the thermodynamic dislocation theory initiated by Langer, Bouchbinder and Lookman [2010] to non-uniform finite plastic deformations. The equations of motion are derived from the variational equation involving the…

We formulate the the problem of persistent diffusion in three dimensions from the perspective of the Frenet--Serret equations. In contrast to one and two dimensional systems, in three dimensions persistent diffusion is, in general, a third…
We study in detail a recently proposed simple discrete model for evolution on smooth landscapes. An asymptotic solution of this model for long times is constructed. We find that the dynamics of the population are governed by correlation…

The spontaneous creation of disclinations is a defining characteristic of active nematics, which is rarely observed in equilibrium systems or other active matter systems. Thus, understanding the mechanics of disclinations is crucial for…
We prove that there exists a weak solution to a system governing an unsteady flow of a viscoelastic fluid in three dimensions, for arbitrarily large time interval and data. The fluid is described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes…
