The primary focus of this dissertation is the study of the Casimir effect and the possibility that this phenomenon may serve as a mechanism to mediate higher dimensional stability, and also as a possible mechanism for creating a small but…
We study the possible cosmological models in Kaluza-Klein-type multidimensional gravity with a curvature-nonlinear Lagrangian and a spherical extra space, taking into account the Casimir energy. First, we find a minimum of the effective…
We solve explicitly a certain minimization problem for probability measures in one dimension involving an interaction energy that arises in the modelling of aggregation phenomena. We show that in a certain regime minimizers are absolutely…
The evolution of finitely many particles obeying Langevin dynamics is described by Dean-Kawasaki equations, a class of stochastic equations featuring a non-Lipschitz multiplicative noise in divergence form. We derive a regularised…
We consider the influence of extra dimensions on the force in Casimir pistons. Suitable analytical expressions are provided for the Casimir force in the range where the plate distance is small, and that where it is large, compared to the…
In this paper, we establish the convergence of the Ohta-Kawasaki equation to motion by nonlocal Mullins-Sekerka law on any smooth domain in space dimensions $N\leq 3$. These equations arise in modeling microphase separation in diblock…
In this work we consider local minimizers (in the topology of transport distances) of the interaction energy associated to a repulsive-attractive potential. We show how the imensionality of the support of local minimizers is related to the…
The effect of a diffusivity edge is studied in a system of scalar active matter confined by a periodic potential and driven by an externally applied force. We find that this system shows qualitatively distinct stationary regimes depending…
We prove the convergence of phase-field approximations of the Gibbs-Thomson law. This establishes a relation between the first variation of the Van-der-Waals-Cahn-Hilliard energy and the first variation of the area functional. We allow for…
We extend a non local and non covariant version of the Thirring model in order to describe a many-body system with backward and umklapp scattering processes. We express the vacuum to vacuum functional in terms of a non trivial fermionic…
We study the large scale evolution of a scalar lattice excitation which satisfies a discrete wave-equation in three dimensions. We assume that the dispersion relation associated to the elastic coupling constants of the wave-equation is…
We start with the compressible Oldroyd--B model derived in \cite{Barrett-Lu-Suli} ({\em J. W. Barrett, Y. Lu, E. S\"uli. Existence of large-data finite-energy global weak solutions to a compressible Oldroyd--B model. Comm. Math. Sci. 15…
The global-in-time existence of renormalized solutions to reaction-cross-diffu-sion systems for an arbitrary number of variables in bounded domains with no-flux boundary conditions is proved. The cross-diffusion part describes the…
We study a large family of axisymmetric Riesz-type singular interaction potentials with anisotropy in three dimensions. We generalize some of the results of our recent work in two dimensions to the present setting. For potentials with…
We study existence, unicity and other geometric properties of the minimizers of the energy functional $$ \|u\|^2_{H^s(\Omega)}+\int_\Omega W(u)\,dx, $$ where $\|u\|_{H^s(\Omega)}$ denotes the total contribution from $\Omega$ in the $H^s$…
In this paper we consider a Klein-Gordon model with time-dependent periodic coefficients. The aim is to investigate how the presence of the mass term influences energy estimates with respect to the case of vanishing mass, already treated in…
Exact solution of Dirac equation for a particle whose potential energy and mass are inversely proportional to the distance from the force centre has been found. The bound states exist provided the length scale $a$ which appears in the…
Vacuum energy density and stresses are investigated for a scalar field in de Sitter spacetime with an arbitrary number of toroidally compactified spatial dimensions and in anti-de Sitter spacetime with two parallel branes. On the branes the…
We present results on the non-linear dynamics of inhomogeneous cosmological models with irrotational dust and a positive cosmological constant, considering, in particular, a wide class with vanishing magnetic Weyl tensor. For those patches…
We analyze plane waves in a model of quantum mechanics in a three dimensional noncommutative (NC) space $R^3_{\lambda}$. Signature features of NC models are impossibility of probing distances smaller than a certain length scale {\lambda}…
