The distinction between absolute and convective instabilities is well known in the context of hydrodynamics and plasma physics. In this Letter, we examine an epitaxial crystal growth model from this point of view and show that a…

A new approximating technique is developed so as to study the quantum ferromagnetic spin-1 Blume-Capel model in the presence of a transverse crystal field in the square lattice. Our proposal consists of approaching the spin system by…

We describe a computational framework for simulating suspensions of rigid particles in Newtonian Stokes flow. One central building block is a collision-resolution algorithm that overcomes the numerical constraints arising from particle…

We generalise a theorem on the existence of Frobenius isocrystal and Fontaine-Laffaille module structures on rigid flat connections to the non-proper setting. The proof is based on a new strategy of a point-set topological flavour, which…

Through extensive molecular simulations we determine a phase diagram of attractive, flexible polymer chains in two and three dimensions. A surprisingly rich collection of distinct crystal morphologies appear, which can be finely tuned…

We introduce several new models whose common feature is to take into account effects from topological vorticity. The macroscopic unknown is driven by a dissipative anomalous diffusion (of SQG-type) and is coupled with the orientation of the…

We study the self-assembly of magnetic colloids using the Stockmayer (SM) model characterized by short-range Lennard-Jones interactions and long-range dipole-dipole interactions. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we design cooling…

We review how phase-field models contributed to the understanding of various aspects of crystal nucleation including homogeneous and heterogeneous processes, and their role in microstructure evolution. We recall results obtained both by the…

Topological properties of crystals and quasicrystals is a subject of recent and growing interest. This Letter reports an experiment where, for certain quasicrystals, these properties can be directly retrieved from diffraction. We directly…

We study the behavior of Frobenius operators on smooth proper pushforwards of prismatic F-crystals. In particular we show that the i-th pushforward has its Frobenius height increased by at most i. Our proof crucially uses the notion of…
