The Gamow shell model is utilized to describe nuclear observables of the weakly bound and resonance isotonic states of $^{16}$O at proton drip-line. It is hereby shown that the presence of continuum coupling leads to complex Coulomb…
Various substances in the liquid state tend to form droplets. In this paper the shape of such droplets is investigated within the spherical model of a lattice gas. We show that in this case the droplet boundary is always diffusive, as…
We introduce fractal liquids by generalizing classical liquids of integer dimensions $d = 1, 2, 3$ to a fractal dimension $d_f$. The particles composing the liquid are fractal objects and their configuration space is also fractal, with the…
We give an application of the Crandall-Rabinowitz theorem on local bifurcation to a system of nonlinear parabolic equations with nonlocal reaction and cross-diffusion terms as well as nonlocal initial conditions. The system arises as…

Based on our model of quantum systems as emerging from the coupled dynamics between oscillating "bouncers" and the space-filling zero-point field, a sub-quantum account of nonlocal correlations is given. This is explicitly done for the…
We give a simplified proof of the nonexistence of large nuclei in the liquid drop model and provide an explicit bound. Our bound is within a factor of 2.3 of the conjectured value and seems to be the first quantitative result.
In this paper we investigate, through numerical studies, the dynamical evolutions encoded in a linear one-dimensional nonlocal equation arising in peridynamcs. The different propagation regimes ranging from the hyperbolic to the dispersive,…
We present an operational method to determine the 'locally preferred structure'' of model liquids, a notion often put forward to explain supercooling of a liquid and glass formation. The method relies on finding the global minimum in the…
Interpreting molecular dynamics simulations usually involves automated classification of local atomic environments to identify regions of interest. Existing approaches are generally limited to a small number of reference structures and only…
We consider a well-known quasi-static model for the shape of a liquid droplet. The solution can be described in terms of time-evolving domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We give an example to show that convexity of the domain can be instantaneously…
A rigorous theory of liquid-crystal transitions is developed starting from the Liouville equation. The starting point is an all-atom description and a set of order parameter field variables that are shown to evolve slowly via Newton's…
A generalized notion of a nonlocal tensor order parameter is introduced within the framework of the phenomenological approach. This parameter has the form of a traceless tensor correlation function or a tensor integral operator. Based on…

We review some recent results on the equilibrium shapes of charged liquid drops. We show that the natural variational model is ill-posed and how this can be overcome by either restricting the class of competitors or by adding penalizations…
We study mathematically a system of partial differential equations arising in the modelling of an aging fluid, a particular class of non Newtonian fluids. We prove well-posedness of the equations in appropriate functional spaces and…
