We estimate from above the rate at which a solution to the rescaled mean curvature flow on a closed hypersurface may converge to a limit self-similar solution, i.e. a shrinker. Our main result implies that any solution which converges to a…
Liquid-liquid wetting failure is investigated in a two-dimensional Couette system with two immiscible fluids of arbitrary viscosity. The problem is solved exactly using a sharp interface treatment of hydrodynamics (lubrication theory) as a…
Accurately predicting drag and heat transfer for compressible high-speed flows is of utmost importance for a range of engineering applications. This requires the precise knowledge of the entire velocity and temperature profiles. A common…
We consider a mean-field system of path-dependent stochastic interacting diffusions in random media over a finite time window. The interaction term is given as a function of the empirical measure and is allowed to be non-linear and path…
We sharpen a gap theorem of Chan & Lee for nonnegative Ricci curvature manifolds that have positive asymptotic volume ratio and small enough scale-invariant integral curvature (so-called "curvature concentration"), by showing that the…
For hyperbolic flows $\varphi_t$ we examine the Gibbs measure of points $w$ for which $$\int_0^T G(\varphi_t w) dt - a T \in (- e^{-\epsilon n}, e^{- \epsilon n})$$ as $n \to \infty$ and $T \geq n$, provided $\epsilon > 0$ is sufficiently…
We develop a sharp-interface model for solid-state dewetting of double-bubble thin films using an energy variational approach based on a newly proposed interfacial energy. This model characterizes the dynamic evolution of interfaces in…
We establish a quantitative rigidity estimate for two-well frame-indifferent nonlinear energies, in the case in which the two wells have exactly one rank-one connection. Building upon this novel rigidity result, we then analyze solid-solid…
Using stability arguments, this Brief Report suggests that a term that enhances the surface tension in the presence of large height fluctuations should be included in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation. A one-loop renormalization group…
We present an introduction to modern theories of interfacial fluctuations and the associated interfacial parameters: surface tension and surface stiffness, as well as their interpretation within the capillary wave model. Transfer matrix…
The curvature dependence of interfacial free energy, which is crucial in quantitatively predicting nucleation kinetics and the stability of bubbles and droplets, can be described in terms of the Tolman length {\delta}. For solid-liquid…
We rigorously prove the convergence of weak solutions to a model for lipid raft formation in cell membranes which was recently proposed by Garcke et al. to weak (varifold) solutions of the corresponding sharp-interface problem for a…
We determine in a nonperturbative way the critical velocity for superfluidity of a generic quantum fluid flowing past a localized obstacle in the one-dimensional mean-field regime. We get exact expressions in the narrow- and wide-obstacle…
This work investigates the vector-valued Allen-Cahn equation with potentials of high-dimensional double-wells under Robin boundary conditions. We establish local-in-time convergence of solutions to mean curvature flow with a fixed contact…
The appropriate boundary condition between an unconfined incompressible viscous fluid and a porous medium is given by the law of Beavers and Joseph. The latter has been justified both experimentally and mathematically, using the method of…
It is well known that the standard transport equations violate causality when gradients are large or when temporal variations are rapid. We derive a modified set of transport equations that satisfy causality. These equations are obtained…
Based on the thermodynamic variation, we rigorously derive the sharp-interface model for solid-state dewetting on a flat substrate in the form of cylindrical symmetry. The governing equations for the model belong to fourth-order geometric…
We prove a quantitative structure theorem for metrics on $\mathbf{R}^n$ that are conformal to the flat metric, have almost constant positive scalar curvature, and cannot concentrate more than one bubble. As an application of our result, we…
We study a general asymptotic behavior of critical points of a diffused interface energy with a fixed contact angle condition defined on a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. We show that the limit varifold derived from the diffused…
