The vorticity of a vector field on 3-dimensional Euclidean space is usually given by the curl of the vector field. In this paper, we extend this concept to n-dimensional compact and oriented Riemannian manifold. We analyse many properties…
Our main result states that whenever we have a non-Euclidean norm $\|\cdot\|$ on a two-dimensional vector space $X$, there exists some $x\neq 0$ such that for every $\lambda\neq 1, \lambda>0$, there exist $y, z\in X$ verifying that…
In this paper, Legendre curves on unit tangent bundle are given using rotation minimizing (RM) vector fields. Ruled surfaces corresponding to these curves are represented. Singularities of these ruled surfaces are also analyzed and…
Let $A=\{x\in \R^{2m} : 0< a< |x| <b\}$ be an annulus. Consider the following singularly perturbed elliptic problem on $A$ \begin{equation} \begin{array}{lll} -\eps^2{\De u} + |x|^{\eta}u = |x|^{\eta}u^p, &\mbox{\qquad in} A \notag u>0…

Let \Sigma be a k-dimensional minimal surface in the unit ball B^n which meets the unit sphere orthogonally. We show that the area of \Sigma is bounded from below by the volume of the unit ball in R^k. This answers a question posed by R.…
We organize minimal annuli in a slab based on the winding number of the circles that foliate them and study the area of minimal annuli with given winding number. Specifically, we deduce some results regarding the convexity of the length…
A set of points $S$ in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ is called a 2-distance set if the set of pairwise distances between the points has cardinality two. The 2-distance set is called spherical if its points lie on the unit…
We consider closed biharmonic hypersurfaces in the Euclidean sphere and prove a rigidity result under a suitable condition on the scalar curvature. Moreover, we establish an integral formula involving the position vector for biharmonic…
We study how the universal contribution to entanglement entropy in a conformal field theory depends on the entangling region. We show that for a deformed sphere the variation of the universal contribution is quadratic in the deformation…
Let $D$ be a domain in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space, and $H$ be a convex subcone in the convex cone of all subharmonic functions on $D$. We obtain a criterion for the existence of a lower envelope from $H$ for an arbitrary function…
We argue that in clean high-$\kappa$ type II superconductors, the low temperature vortex core size (defined as the coherence length $\xi$) in high fields should decrease with increasing applied field in qualitative agreement with…
Indices of vector fields on (complex analytic) singular varieties have been considered by various authors from several different viewpoints. All these indices coincide with the classical local index of Poincar\'e-Hopf when the ambient…
We study the entanglement entropy within a spherical region for a free scalar field in a squeezed state in 3+1 dimensions. We show that, even for small squeezing, a volume term appears, whose coefficient is essentially independent of the…
We show that the dimension of the set of limits of tangent spaces along a subvariety at an irreducible isolated singularity is one less than the dimension of the subvariety itself.
Given a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ and a finite measure space $\Omega$, the approximation of a vector-valued function $f: \Omega \to \mathcal H$ by a $k$-dimensional subspace $\mathcal U \subset \mathcal H$ plays an important role in…
In the time evolution of fluids, the topologies of fluids can be changed by the creations and annihilations of singular points and by switching combinatorial structures of separatrices. In this paper, to describe the possible generic time…
We propose an improved effective-medium theory to obtain the concentration dependence of the viscosity of particle suspensions at arbitrary volume fractions. Our methodology can be applied, in principle, to any particle shape as long as the…
Denote by $S^2$ the two-dimensional sphere. A spherical convex body on $S^2$ which does not properly contain a spherical convex body of the same spherical thickness is called a reduced body. We give three characterizations of reducedness of…
We show that the boundary of any bounded strongly pseudoconvex complete circular domain in $\mathbb C^2$ must contain points that are exceptionally tangent to a projective image of the unit sphere.
