Cable-like bodies play a key role in many interdisciplinary systems but are hard to simulate. Asymptotic theories, called slender-body theories, are effective but apply in specific regimes and can be hard to extend beyond leading order. In…
We present a general extension of a field-theoretic approach developed in earlier papers to the calculation of the free energy of symmetrically layered electrolytic systems which is based on the Sine-Gordon field theory for the Coulomb gas.…

Completely integrable Hamiltonians defining classical mechanical systems of $N$ coupled oscillators are obtained from Poisson realizations of Heisenberg--Weyl, harmonic oscillator and $sl(2,\R)$ coalgebras. Various completely integrable…
We equip the regular Fr\'echet Lie group of invertible, odd-class, classical pseudodifferential operators $Cl^{0,*}_{odd}(M,E)$ -- in which $M$ is a compact smooth manifold and $E$ a (complex) vector bundle over $M$ -- with…
We study the motion of the coupled system, $\mathscr S$, constituted by a physical pendulum, $\mathscr B$, with an interior cavity entirely filled with a viscous, compressible fluid, $\mathscr F$. The presence of the fluid may strongly…
The fundamental equation describing the rotational dynamics of a rigid body is ${\vec \tau}=d{\vec L} / dt$ which is a straightforward consequence of the Newton's second law of motion and is only valid in an inertial coordinate system.…
Starting from the second post-Keplerian (2PK) Hamiltonian describing the conservative part of the two-body dynamics in massless scalar-tensor (ST) theories, we build an effective-one-body (EOB) Hamiltonian which is a $\nu$-deformation…
We attach the degenerate signature (n,0,1) to the projectivized dual Grassmann algebra over R(n+1). We explore the use of the resulting Clifford algebra as a model for euclidean geometry. We avoid problems with the degenerate metric by…
An elastic double pendulum subject to a force acting along a fixed straight line, the so-called "Reut's column problem", is a structure exhibiting flutter and divergence instability, which was never realized in practice and thus debated…
Leveraging on the results of arXiv:2210.13644 , we carry out an investigation of the algebraic three-fold $\Sigma_{C,h}$, the common level set of the Hamiltonian and the Casimir, for the two-body problem for equal masses on $S^2$ subject to…
We propose three iterative methods for solving the Moser-Veselov equation, which arises in the discretization of the Euler-Arnold differential equations governing the motion of a generalized rigid body. We start by formulating the problem…
We give a review of the systematic construction of hierarchies of soliton flows and integrable elliptic equations associated to a complex semi-simple Lie algebra and finite order automorphisms. For example, the non-linear Schr\"odinger…
We propose quantum Hamiltonians of the double elliptic many-body integrable system (DELL) and study its spectrum. These Hamiltonians are certain elliptic functions of coordinates and momenta. Our results provide quantization of the…
We consider the inverse problem of determining coefficients appearing in semilinear elliptic equations stated on Riemannian manifolds with boundary given the knowledge of the associated Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. We begin with a negative…
The integrability of $R^2$-gravity with torsion in two dimensions is traced to an ultralocal dynamical symmetry of constraints and momenta in Hamiltonian phase space. It may be interpreted as a quadratically deformed $iso(2,1)$-algebra with…
We consider the solid-solid interactions in the two body problem. The relative equilibria have been previously studied analytically and general motions were numerically analyzed using some expansion of the gravitational potential up to the…
The aim of this paper is to provide a complete analysis of the Coulomb equilibrium problem in the euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq2$, associated to the kernel $1/|x|^{d-2}$, with a non-convex external field created by an…
Louis Poinsot has shown in 1854 that the motion of a rigid body, with one of its points fixed, can be described as the rolling without slipping of one cone, the 'body cone', along another, the 'space cone', with their common vertex at the…
We derive the exact analytical solutions to the symmetron field theory equations in the presence of a one or two mirror system. The one dimensional equations of motion are integrated exactly for both systems and their solutions can be…
