It is argued that properties of Democritus' atoms parallel those of volume forms in differential geometry. This kind of atoms has not "size" of finite magnitude. ----- Se arguye que las propiedades de los atomos de Democrito son paralelas a…
We describe the asymptotic states for the solutions of a nonlocal equation of evolutionary type, which have the physical meaning of the atom dislocation function in a periodic crystal. More precisely, we can describe accurately the…
We prove conjectures of Rene Thom and Vladimir Arnold for C^2 solutions to the degenerate elliptic equation that is the level set equation for motion by mean curvature. We believe these results are the first instances of a general…
We develop a theory of self-similar solutions to the critical surface quasi-geostrophic equations. We construct self-similar solutions for arbitrarily large data in various regularity classes and demonstrate, in the small data regime,…
The study of entire holomorphic curves contained in projective algebraic varieties is intimately related to fascinating questions of geometry and number theory -- especially through the concepts of curvature and positivity which are central…
We show that the emerging field of discrete differential geometry can be usefully brought to bear on crystallization problems. In particular, we give a simplified proof of the Heitmann-Radin crystallization theorem (R. C. Heitmann, C.…
This article is the first of a trilogy that addresses various aspects of the perturbative response of general quantum systems, with possibly nontrivial ground state geometry, beyond linear order. Here, we use group theoretical…
General relativity has previously been extended to incorporate degenerate metrics using Ashtekar's hamiltonian formulation of the theory. In this letter, we show that a natural alternative choice for the form of the hamiltonian constraints…
We study the evolution of complete non-compact convex hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ by the inverse mean curvature flow. We establish the long time existence of solutions and provide the characterization of the maximal time of…
We consider a mean curvature flow in a cylinder with Robin boundary conditions, which can be used to model the interface motion in singular limit problems of the Allen-Cahn equation with nonlinear boundary conditions. It was shown in…
Eternalism is the view that the past, the present and the future exist simpliciter. A typical argument in favor of this view leans on the relativity of simultaneity. The 'equally real with' relation is assumed to be transitive between…
Modeling of a wide class of physical phenomena, such as crystal growth and flame propagation, leads to tracking fronts moving with curvature-dependent speed. When the speed is the curvature this leads to one of the classical degenerate…
A central question in General Relativity (GR) is how to determine whether singularities are geometrical properties of spacetime, or simply anomalies of a coordinate system used to parameterize the spacetime. In particular, it is an open…
In canonical gravity, covariance is implemented by brackets of hypersurface-deformation generators forming a Lie algebroid. Lie algebroid morphisms therefore allow one to relate different versions of the brackets that correspond to the same…
Global amoebas are a wide and rich family of graphs that emerged from the study of certain Ramsey-Tur\'an problems in $2$-colorings of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ that deal with the appearance of unavoidable patterns once a…
We apply the causal interpretation of quantum mechanics to homogeneous and isotropic quantum cosmology where the sources of the gravitational field are either dust or radiation perfect fluids. We find non-singular quantum trajectories which…
We formulate and study an elliptic transmission-like problem combining local and nonlocal elements. Let $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ be separated into two components by a smooth hypersurface $\Gamma$. On one side of $\Gamma$, a function satisfies a…
We discover an abstract structure behind several nonlinear dispersive equations (including the NLS, NLKG and GKdV equations with generic defocusing power-law nonlinearities) that is reminiscent of hyperbolic conservation laws. The…
The drift method, introduced by the second author, provides a new formulation of the Einstein constraint equations, either in vacuum or with matter fields. The natural of the geometry underlying this method compensates for its slightly…
Existence of specific \emph{eternal solutions} in exponential self-similar form to the following quasilinear diffusion equation with strong absorption$$\partial_t u=\Delta u^m-|x|^{\sigma}u^q,$$posed for…
