Optimization under structural constraints is typically analyzed through projection or penalty methods, obscuring the geometric mechanism by which constraints shape admissible dynamics. We propose an operator-theoretic formulation in which…
A conformally invariant generalization of the Willmore energy for compact immersed submanifolds of even dimension in a Riemannian manifold is derived and studied. The energy arises as the coefficient of the log term in the renormalized area…

We present a unified analytical and numerical study of the one-dimensional Feshbach--Villars (FV) equation for spin-0 particles in the presence of several representative external potentials. Starting from the FV formulation of the…
We consider the class of autonomous systems $\dot x=f(x)$, where $x \in {\bf R}^{2n}$, $f \in C^1({\bf R}^{2n})$ whose phase portrait is a Cartesian product of $n$ two-dimensional {\em centres}. We also consider perturbations of this…
A complete analysis of the electroweak precision observables is performed within a recently proposed minimal composite Higgs model, realized as a 5-dimensional warped compactification. In particular, we compute Z->bb and the one-loop…
The aim of this paper is to give new insights about families of integrable systems lifting a Hamiltonian $S^1$-space. Specifically, we study one-parameter families $(M^4,\omega,F_t=(J,H_t))_{0 \leq t \leq 1}$ of systems with a fixed…
We prove lower bounds for the smallest singular value of rectangular, multivariate Vandermonde matrices with nodes on the complex unit circle. The nodes are ``off the grid'', groups of nodes cluster, and the studied minimal singular value…
We view all smooth metrics $g$ on a closed surface $\Sigma$ through their Nash isometric embeddings $f_g: (\Sigma,g) \rightarrow (\mathbb{S}^{\tilde{n}}, \tilde{g})$ into a standard sphere of large, but fixed, dimension $\tilde{n}$. We…
Using the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin method, we derive a modified form of the Thomas-Fermi approximation to electron density. This new result enables us to calculate the details of the self-consistent ion cores, as well as the ionization…
Following Brown[1], we construct composite operators for the scalar $\phi^3$ theory in six dimensions using renormalisation group methods with dimensional regularisation. We express bare scalar operators in terms of renormalised composite…
We study the topological B-model on a deformed $\Z_2$ orbifolded conifold by investigating variation of complex structures via quantum Kodaira-Spencer theories. The fermionic/brane formulation together with systematic utilization of…
In this paper we build an explicit example of a minimal bubble on a Willmore surface, showing there cannot be compactness for Willmore immersions of Willmore energy above $16 \pi$. Additionnally we prove an inequality on the second residue…
We investigate codimension-one vacua arising from low energy effective actions inspired by string theory, with an eye to their consistency when localized sources are allowed in the equations of motion. We draw some inspiration from…
We show that a toroidal morphism can be reduced to a weakly semistable one in a universal way if we allow families to be modified to Deligne-Mumford stacks instead of schemes.
We write down an asymptotic expression for action coordinates in an integrable Hamiltonian system with a focus-focus equilibrium. From the singularity in the actions we deduce that the Arnol'd determinant grows infinitely large near the…
The Willmore energy, alias bending energy or rigid string action, and its variation-the Willmore invariant-are important surface conformal invariants with applications ranging from cell membranes to the entanglement entropy in quantum…

In a preceding article the authors and Tran Ngoc Nam constructed a minimal injective resolution of the mod 2 cohomology of a Thom spectrum. A Segal conjecture type theorem for this spectrum was proved. In this paper one shows that the above…
In this paper we investigate the properties of series of vacua in the string theory landscape. In particular, we study minima to the flux potential in type IIB compactifications on the mirror quintic. Using geometric transitions, we embed…
