We study the exact solution of the two-body problem on a tight-binding one-dimensional lattice, with pairwise interaction potentials which have an arbitrary but finite range. We show how to obtain the full spectrum, the bound and scattering…
In this work, we study the numerical optimization of nearest-neighbor concurrence of bipartite one and two dimensional lattices, as well as non bipartite two dimensional lattices. These systems are described in the framework of a…
We study the theoretical minimum emittance for a non-uniform bending magnet with the bending radius linearly ramped from the dipole center to its end. We derive the expression for the minimum emittance as a function of the bending angle and…
Energy functionals describing phase transitions in crystalline solids are often non-quasiconvex and minimizers might therefore not exist. On the other hand, there might be infinitely many gradient Young measures, modelling microstructures,…
We establish a new monotonicity formula for minimizers of the Mumford-Shah functional in planar domains. Our formula follows the spirit of Bucur-Luckhaus, but works with the David-L\'eger entropy instead of the energy. Interestingly, this…
Let $L =\sqrt{\frac{1}{\Im(z)}}\Big({\mathbb Z}\oplus z{\mathbb Z}\Big)$ where $z \in \mathbb{H}=\{z= x+ i y\;\hbox{or}\;(x,y)\in\mathbb{C}: y>0\}$ be the two dimensional lattices with unit density. Assuming that $\alpha\geq1$, we prove…
We consider a hierarchy of upper approximations for the minimization of a polynomial $f$ over a compact set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ proposed recently by Lasserre (arXiv:1907.097784, 2019). This hierarchy relies on using the push-forward…
We use inverse methods of statistical mechanics to explore trade-offs associated with designing interactions to stabilize self-assembled structures against changes in density or temperature. Specifically, we find isotropic,convex-repulsive…
We study minimizers of non-autonomous energies with minimal growth and coercivity assumptions on the energy. We show that the minimizer is nevertheless the solution of the relevant Euler--Lagrange equation or inequality. The main tool is an…
In this paper, we study the minimax rates and provide an implementable convex algorithm for Poisson inverse problems under weak sparsity and physical constraints. In particular we assume the model $y_i \sim \mbox{Poisson}(Ta_i^{\top}f^*)$…
Few-body physics plays a central role in many branches of physics, such as nuclear physics and atomic physics. Advances in controlling ultra-cold quantum gases provide an ideal testbed for few-body physics theory. In this work, we study…

The properties of asymmetric nuclear matter have been investigated in a relativistic Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock framework using the Bonn A potential. The components of the self-energies are extracted by projecting on Lorentz invariant…
We study the problem of maximizing the minimal value over the sphere $S^{d-1}\subset \mathbb R^d$ of the potential generated by a configuration of $d+1$ points on $S^{d-1}$ (the maximal discrete polarization problem). The points interact…
We study the fermion sign problem in a theory of non-relativistic fermions with a spin-independent repulsive interaction. We work in polar co-ordinates in momentum space, which makes it straightforward to keep only the low-energy degrees of…
We develop a technique for establishing lower bounds on the sample complexity of Least Squares (or, Empirical Risk Minimization) for large classes of functions. As an application, we settle an open problem regarding optimality of Least…
The symmetries of the minimal $\phi^4$ theory on the lattice are systematically analyzed. We find that symmetry can restrict trajectories to subspaces, while their motions are still chaotic. The chaotic dynamics of autonomous Hamiltonian…
We present two-dimensional crystallization results in the square lattice for finite particle systems consisting of two different atomic types. We identify energy minimizers of configurational energies featuring two-body short-ranged…
We show that all finite lattices, including non-distributive lattices, arise as stable matching lattices when all agents have path-independent choice functions. This result answers an open question of Blair~\cite{blair1988lattice}. In the…
The Cohn-Kumar conjecture states that the triangular lattice in dimension 2, the $E_8$ lattice in dimension 8, and the Leech lattice in dimension 24 are universally minimizing in the sense that they minimize the total pair interaction…
