We consider the regularity of an interface between two incompressible and inviscid fluids flows in the presence of surface tension. We obtain local in time estimates on the interface in $H^{\frac32k +1}$ and the velocity fields in…
Surfactants reside at the interface of two-phase flows and significantly influence the flow dynamics. Numerical simulations are essential for a comprehensive understanding of such surfactant-laden flows and require a method that can…

At the heart of the study of topological insulators lies a fundamental dichotomy: topological invariants are defined in infinite systems, but surface states as their main footprint only exist in finite systems. In the slab geometry, namely…
A remarkable discovery in recent years is that there exist various kinds of topological insulators and superconductors characterized by a periodic table according to the system symmetry and dimensionality. To physically realize these…

Non-Bloch topological invariants preserve the bulk-boundary correspondence in non-Hermitian topological systems, and are a key concept in the contemporary study of non-Hermitian topology. Here we report the dynamic detection of non-Bloch…
