We perform direct numerical simulations of sub-Kolmogorov, inertial spheroids settling under gravity in homogeneous, isotropic turbulence and find that small-scale clustering, measured via the correlation dimension, depends sensitively on…
The geometrical features of the (non-convex) loss landscape of neural network models are crucial in ensuring successful optimization and, most importantly, the capability to generalize well. While minimizers' flatness consistently…
We verify that an isoperimetric minimizing cluster on a simply connected homogeneous Riemannian manifold with at most one end always has connected boundary. In particular, the boundary of a single-bubble isoperimetric minimizer on such…
In this paper we study the blow-ups of the singular points in the boundary of a minimizing cluster lying in the interface of more than two chambers. We establish a sharp lower bound for the perimeter density at those points and we prove…
The aim of this paper is to prove the existence of minimizers for a variational problem involving the minimization under volume constraint of the sum of the perimeter and a non-local energy of Wasserstein type. This extends previous partial…
For a complete Riemannian manifold with bounded geometry, we prove the existence of isoperimetric clusters and also the compactness theorem for sequence of clusters in a larger space obtained by adding finitely many limit manifolds at…
We study the isoperimetric problem with a potential energy $g$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ weighted by a radial density $f$ and analyze the geometric properties of minimizers. Notably, we construct two counterexamples demonstrating that, in contrast…
Recently it has been shown that the unique locally perimeter minimizing partitioning of the plane into three regions, where one region has finite area and the other two have infinite measure, is given by the so-called standard lens…
We prove a generalization of Reifenberg's isoperimetric inequality. The main result of this paper is used to establish existence of a minimizer for an anisotropically-weighted area functional among a collection of surfaces which satisfies a…
We consider the minimization of an energy functional given by the sum of a crystalline perimeter and a nonlocal interaction of Riesz type, under volume constraint. We show that, in the small mass regime, if the Wulff shape of the…
We prove a relative isoperimetric inequality in the plane, when the perimeter is defined with respect to a convex, positively homogeneous function of degree one, and characterize the minimizers.
Standard statistical mechanical or condensed matter arguments tell us that bulk properties of a physical system do not depend too much on boundary conditions. Random tilings of large regions provide counterexamples to such intuition, as…
The aim of this work is to study the rigidity problem for Steiner's inequality for the anisotropic perimeter, that is, the situation in which the only extremals of the inequality are vertical translations of the Steiner symmetral that we…
We obtain a sharp quantitative isoperimetric inequality for nonlocal $s$-perimeters, uniform with respect to $s$ bounded away from $0$. This allows us to address local and global minimality properties of balls with respect to the…
Derived from the concentration-compactness principle, the concept of generalized minimizer can be used to define generalized solutions of variational problems which may have components ``infinitely'' distant from each other. In this article…
In this paper we consider a partial overdetermined mixed boundary value problem in domains inside a cone as in [18]. We show that in cones having an isoperimetric property the only domains which admit a solution and which minimize a…
We discuss some interesting physical features stemming from our previous analytical study of a simple model of a fluid with dipolar-like interactions of very short range in addition to the usual isotropic Baxter potential for adhesive…
We prove that the optimal way to enclose and separate four planar regions with equal area using the less possible perimeter requires all regions to be connected. Moreover, the topology of such optimal clusters is uniquely determined.
Magnetic systems with frustration often have large classical degeneracy. We show that their low-energy physics can be understood as dynamics within the space of classical ground states. We demonstrate this mapping in a family of quantum…
We address several extremal problems concerning the spreading property of point sets of Steiner triple systems. This property is closely related to the structure of subsystems, as a set is spreading if and only if there is no proper…
