Perturbation theory is a powerful tool for studying large-scale structure formation in the universe and calculating observables such as the power spectrum or bispectrum. However, beyond linear order, typically this is done by assuming a…

For the unit sphere S^d in Euclidean space R^(d+1), we show that for d-1<s<d and any N>1, discrete N-point minimal Riesz s-energy configurations are well separated in the sense that the minimal distance between any pair of distinct points…
The $N$-color Ashkin-Teller model corresponds to $N$ Ising models coupled by four-spin interactions. We consider the two-dimensional case in presence of quenched disorder and use scale invariant scattering theory to determine all the…
This paper provides a quantitative version of the recent result of Kn\"upfer and Muratov ({\it Commun. Pure Appl. Math.} {\bf 66} (2013), 1129--1162) concerning the solutions of an extension of the classical isoperimetric problem in which a…

In two phase materials, each phase having a non-local response in time, it has been found that for some driving fields the response somehow untangles at specific times, and allows one to directly infer useful information about the geometry…
