We review and develop the classical theory of moments of configurations of weighted points with a focus on systems with an identically vanishing first moment. The latter condition produces equations for equilibrium configurations of systems…
Liquid crystals with molecules constrained to the tangent bundle of a curved surface show interesting phenomena resulting from the tight coupling of the elastic and bulk free energies of the liquid crystal with geometric properties of the…
A generalised Wulf-Kaishew theorem is given describing the equilibrium shape (ES) of an isolated 3D crystal A deposited coherently onto a lattice mismatched planar substrate. For this purpose a free polyhedral crystal is formed then…
Here, we propose a comprehensive first-principle atomistic approach to predict the Wulff-Kaischew equilibrium shape of crystals heterogeneously integrated on a dissimilar material. This method uses both reconstructed surface and interface…
Quantitative stability for crystalline anisotropic perimeters, with control on the oscillation of the boundary with respect to the corresponding Wulff shape, is proven for $n\geq 3$. This extends a result of [Neu16] in $n=2$.
Geometrical constructions, such as the tangent construction on the molar free energy for determining whether a particular composition of a solution, is stable, are related to similar tangent constructions on the orientation-dependent…
We present a new general, complete closed-form solution of the Stark problem in terms of Weierstrass elliptic and related functions. With respect to previous treatments of the problem, our analysis is exact and valid for all values of the…
The solution of one Zamfiresku's problem was obtained. We discuss the unsolved questions related to the Mizel's problem.
Some time ago Wastlund reformulated the Basel problem in terms of a physical system using the proportionality of the apparent brightness of a star to the inverse square of its distance. Inspired by this approach, we give another physical…
We study equilibrium configurations of infinitely many identical particles on the real line or finitely many particles on the circle, such that the (repelling) force they exert on each other depends only on their distance. The main question…
We perform particle resolved experimental studies on the heterogeneous crystallisation process of two compo- nent mixtures of hard spheres. The components have a size ratio of 0.39. We compared these with molecular dynamics simulations of…
A trick to obtain a systematic solution to the set-theoretical reflection equation is presented from a known one to the Yang-Baxter equation. Examples are given from crystals and geometric crystals associated to the quantum affine algebra…
This is a continuation of our series of works for the inhomogeneous Boltzmann equation. We study qualitative properties of classical solutions, precisely, the full regularization in all variables, uniqueness, non-negativity and convergence…
We present the detailed properties of a self-consistent crystalline chiral condensate in the massless chiral Gross-Neveu model. We show that a suitable ansatz for the Gorkov resolvent reduces the functional gap equation, for the…
We present a novel homogeneous and geometrically flat exact solution of Einstein's General Relativity equations for an ideal fluid. The solution, which describes an expanding/contracting hypercylinder, fits well with the observational…
The long-standing problem of finding coherent states for the (bound state portion of the) hydrogen atom is positively resolved. The states in question: (i) are normalized and are parameterized continuously, (ii) admit a resolution of unity…
The parametric equations of the plane curves determining the equilibrium shapes that a uniform inextensible elastic ring or tube could take subject to a uniform hydrostatic pressure are presented in an explicit analytic form. The…
We prove the sharp quantitative stability in the radial isotropic Almgren problem. In addition, we develop a theory for estimating the sharp modulus in the context of minimal assumptions on the surface tension and the potential and obtain…
We investigate the problem of determining the shape of a rotating celestial object - e.g., a comet or an asteroid - under its own gravitational field. More specifically, we consider an object symmetric with respect to one axis - such as a…
We examine the equilibrium configurations of a nematic liquid crystal with an immersed body in two-dimensions. A complex variables formulation provides a means for finding analytical solutions in the case of strong anchoring. Local…
