We consider the elliptic three body problem as a perturbation of the circular problem. We show that for sufficiently small eccentricities of the elliptic problem, and for energies sufficiently close to the energy of the libration point L2,…
This work is dedicated to the study of the Moebius invariant class of constrained Willmore surfaces and its symmetries. We define a spectral deformation by the action of a loop of flat metric connections; Baecklund transformations, by…
We study the energy functional on the set of Lagrangian tori in $\mathbb{C}P^2$ . We prove that the value of the energy functional on a certain family of Hamiltonian minimal Lagrangian tori in $\mathbb{C}P^2$ is strictly larger than energy…
Given a brane tiling on a torus, we provide a new way to prove and generalise the recent results of Szendroi, Mozgovoy and Reineke regarding the Donaldson-Thomas theory of the moduli space of framed cyclic representations of the associated…
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a unique probe of cosmological parameters and conditions. There is a connection between anisotropy in the CMB and the topology of the Universe. Adopting a universe with the topology of a 3-Torus, or…
The Willmore Problem seeks the surface in $\mathbb S^3\subset\mathbb R^4$ of a given topological type minimizing the squared-mean-curvature energy $W = \int |\mathbf{H}_{\mathbb{R}^4}|^2 = \operatorname{area} + \int H_{\mathbb{S}^3}^2$. The…
We show that Laplace isospectral deformations within a conformal class of generic Liouville metrics on the two-dimensional torus that are linear in the deformation parameter are necessarily trivial. Two of the main ingredients in our proof…
This paper proves a positive energy-momentum theorem for oriented Riemannian 3-manifolds that are asymptotic to a standard hyperbolic slice in anti de Sitter space-time. Analogously to the original Witten's proof in the asymptotically flat…
The paper investigates the general case of incompressible non-classical elasticity with small deformations and rotations. It is shown that the internal spin rotations are important only when a specific Born term is presented in the free…
A well known result of Da Rios and Levi-Civita says that a closed planar curve is elastic if and only if it is stationary under the localized induction (or smoke ring) equation, where stationary means that the evolution under the localized…
We report the results of a numerical search for non-topological solitons in the two-Higgs standard model, characterized by the non-trivial winding, $\pi_3(S^3)$, of the relative phase of the two doublets. In a region of (weak-coupling)…
We investigate certain $4$-dimensional analogues of the classical $3$-dimensional Dehn's lemma, giving examples where such analogues do or do not hold, in the smooth and topological categories. In particular, we show that an essential…
This article is concerned with the problem of minimising the Willmore energy in the class of \emph{connected} surfaces with prescribed area which are confined to a small container. We propose a phase field approximation based on De Giorgi's…
In this paper, we consider a classical Hamiltonian normal form with degeneracy in normal direction. In previous results, one needs to assume that the perturbation satisfies certain non-degenerate conditions in order to remove the degeneracy…
We study complete, simply-connected manifolds with special holonomy that are toric with respect to their multi-moment maps. We consider the cases where there is a connected non-Abelian symmetry group containing the torus. For…
In this paper, we investigate the Hamiltonian-stability of Lagrangian tori in the complex hyperbolic space $\mathbb{C}H^n$. We consider a standard Hamiltonian $T^n$-action on $\mathbb{C}H^n$, and show that every Lagrangian $T^n$-orbits in…
We study energy minimization of a continuum Landau-de Gennes energy functional for nematic liquid crystals, in three-dimensional axisymmetric domains and in a restricted class of $\mathbb{S}^1$-equivariant (i.e., axially symmetric)…
In this article, using the idea of toric degeneration and the computation of the full potential function of Hirzebruch surface $F_2$, which is \emph{not} Fano, we produce a continuum of Lagrangian tori in $S^2 \times S^2$ which are…
Topological insulators are new states of quantum matter with surface states protected by the time-reversal symmetry. In this work, we perform first-principle electronic structure calculations for $Sb_2Te_3$, $Sb_2Se_3$, $Bi_2Te_3$ and…
We show that every nondegenerate dimer algebra $A$ on a torus admits a cyclic contraction to a cancellative dimer algebra. This implies, for example, that $A$ is Calabi-Yau if and only if it is noetherian; and that the center of $A$ has…
