The Constantin-Lax-Majda (CLM) model and the De Gregorio model which is a modification of the CLM model are well-known for their ability to emulate the behavior of the 3D Euler equations, particularly their potential to develop finite-time…
This is an analytic study of the problem of transitions between normal and superconducting phases for a sample which encloses a magnetic flux. A preliminary study of this problem, based on numerical minimization of the free energy for a…
In this paper, we find a new large scale instability displayed by a stratified rotating flow in forced turbu- lence. The turbulence is generated by a small scale external force at low Reynolds number. The theory is built on the rigorous…
A previous paper (arXiv:0902.2773, henceforth referred to as I) considered a general class of problems involving the evolution of large systems of globally coupled phase oscillators. It was shown there that, in an appropriate sense, the…
This contribution is a follow-up of a recent paper by the authors on adaptive, non-linear time-frequency transforms, focusing on the STFT based transforms. The adaptivity is provided by a focus function, that depends on the analyzed…
We consider spherically symmetric spacetimes sourced by a fluid with pressure anisotropy in the radial direction. We use gauge-invariant perturbation theory to study the stability of this class of spacetimes under axial perturbations. We…
This is a Comment on the Article ``Aging, phase ordering and conformal invariance'' by M.Henkel, M.Pleimling, C.Godr\`eche and J.M.Luck [Phys.Rev.Lett. 87, 265701 (2001)].
In this article we consider a damped version of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the whole three-dimensional space with a divergence-free and time-independent external force. Within the framework of a well-prepared force and…
Knots and links in 3-manifolds are studied by applying intersection invariants to singular concordances. The resulting link invariants generalize the Arf invariant, the mod 2 Sato-Levine invariants, and Milnor's triple linking numbers.…
Whether turbulence intermittencies shall be described by a log-Poisson, a log-stable pdf or other distributions is still debated nowadays. In this paper, a bridge between polymer physics, self-avoiding walk and random vortex stretching is…
This paper has been withdrawn in order to replace it by two separate submissions: 1. Hamiltonian 2-forms in Kahler geometry III: Extremal metrics and stability, math.DG/0511118; 2. Hamiltonian 2-forms in Kahler geometry IV: Weakly…

Since the seminal work by H.L.F. Helmholtz in 1863, to understand the basic principles of hearing has been a great, but still unresolved, challenge for physicists. Some time ago, it has been pointed out (Egu\'{\i}luz et al., Phys. Rev.…
The phenomenon of oscillatory instability called \lq flutter' was observed in aeroelasticity and rotor dynamics about a century ago. Driven by a series of applications involving nonconservative elasticity theory at different physical…
A free-energy minimization approach is used to address the secular & dynamical instabilities & the bifurcations along sequences of rotating, self-gravitating fluid and stellar systems. Our approach stems from the Landau-Ginzburg theory of…
A large class of physical systems involves the vanishing of a 1-form on a manifold as a constraint on the acceptable states. This means that one is always dealing with the Pfaff problem in those cases. In particular, knowing the degree of…
The phenomenon of linearisation instability is identified in models of quantum cosmology that are perturbations of mini-superspace models. In particular, constraints that are second order in the perturbations must be imposed on wave…
In this work we suggest that a turbulent phase of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability can be explained as a universal stochastic wave traveling with constant speed in a properly renormalized system. This wave, originating from ordinary…
The application of variational principles for analyzing problems in the physical sciences is widespread. Cantilever-like problems, where one end is fixed and the other end is free, have received less attention in terms of their stability…
By means of the multifractal analysis (MFA), the expressions of the probability density functions (PDFs) are unified in a compact analytical formula which is valid for various quantities in turbulence. It is shown that the formula can…
