We find conditions under which the restriction of a divergence-free vector field $B$ to an invariant toroidal surface $S$ is linearisable. The main results are similar in conclusion to Arnold's Structure Theorems but require weaker…
The goal of this paper is to present proofs of two results of Markus Rost: the Chain Lemma and the Norm Principle. These are the final steps needed to complete the publishable verification of the Bloch-Kato conjecture, that the norm residue…
Surface growth driven by non-monomeric deposition has remained largely unexplored. We investigate a model based on the deposition of blobs with a power-law size distribution $P(s)\sim s^{-\tau}$. We find that the critical exponents vary…
Surface sensitive synchrotron x-ray scattering studies were performed to obtain the distribution of monovalent ions next to a highly charged interface. A lipid phosphate (dihexadecyl hydrogen-phosphate) was spread as a monolayer at the…
In the 1960's, Birch proved that the traces of Frobenius for elliptic curves taken at random over a large finite field is modeled by the semicircular distribution (i.e. the usual Sato-Tate for non-CM elliptic curves). In analogy with…
We present a Bloch modes' based Green's function scattering formalism for cost efficient forward modelling of disordered binary surface textures. The usage of Bloch modes of an unperturbed reference ordered system as ansatz allows our…
A new approach is proposed for study structure and properties of the total squared mean curvature $W$ of surfaces in ${\bf R}^3$. It is based on the generalized Weierstrass formulae for inducing surfaces. The quantity $W$ (Willmore…
We study the Cauchy theory for a multi-species mixture, where the different species can have different masses, in a perturbative setting on the $3$-dimensional torus. The ultimate aim of this work is to obtain existence, uniqueness and…
Using the work of Dwyer, Weiss, and Williams we associate an invariant to any topologically trivial family of smooth h-cobordisms. This invariant is called the smooth structure class, and is closely related to the higher Franz--Reidemeister…
We propose a new formulation of a vanishing theorem for surfaces. Although this vanishing theorem follows easily from the well-known Kawamata--Viehweg vanishing theorem, it turns out to be remarkably useful. In particular, it is sufficient…
We develop connections between the qualitative dynamics of Hamiltonian isotopies on a surface $\Sigma$ and their chain-level Floer theory using ideas drawn from Hofer-Wysocki-Zehnder's theory of finite energy foliations. We associate to…
The purpose of this paper is to show the relationship in all dimensions between the structural (diffraction pattern) aspect of tilings (described by \v{C}ech cohomology of the tiling space) and the spectral properties (of Hamiltonians…
The geometry of minimal surfaces generated by charge 2 Bogomolny monopoles on 3-dimensional Euclidean space is described in terms of the moduli parameter k. We find that the distribution of Gaussian curvature on the surface reflects the…
This paper proves an integral version of the Riemann-Roch theorem for surface bundles, comparing the standard cohomology classes with the cohomology classes coming from the symplectic group.
For a convex domain $D$ that is enclosed by the hypersurface $\partial D$ of bounded normal curvature, we prove an angle comparison theorem for angles between $\partial D$ and geodesic rays starting from some fixed point in $D$, and the…
We define certain deformations between minimal and non-minimal constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces in Euclidean space $E^3$ which preserve the Hopf differential. We prove that, given a CMC $H$ surface $f$, either minimal or not, and a…
We propose the graph description of Teichm\"uller theory of surfaces with marked points on boundary components (bordered surfaces). Introducing new parameters, we formulate this theory in terms of hyperbolic geometry. We can then describe…
In order for surface scattering models to be accurate they must necessarily satisfy energy conservation and reciprocity principles. Roughness scattering models based on Kirchoff's approximation or perturbation theory do not satisfy these…
The Maxwell-Smoluchowski (MS) theory of gas diffusion is revisited here in the context of gas transport in straight channels in the Knudsen regime of large mean free path. This classical theory is based on a phenomenological model of…
If there is a topologically locally constant family of smooth algebraic varieties together with an admissible normal function on the total space, then the latter is constant on any fiber if this holds on some fiber. Combined with spreading…
