This paper is concerned with the theory and applications of varifolds to the representation, approximation and diffeomorphic registration of shapes. One of its purpose is to synthesize and extend several prior works which, so far, have made…
In this paper, we consider various tensorial estimates in geometric Besov-type norms on a one-parameter foliation of surfaces with evolving geometries. Moreover, we wish to do this with only very weak control on these geometries. Several of…

Let $S$ be a seminorm on an infinite-dimensional real or complex vector space $X$. Our purpose in this note is to study the continuity and discontinuity properties of $S$ with respect to certain norm-topologies on $X$.
The pressure function is a fundamental object in various areas of mathematics. Its regularity is studied to derive insights into phase transitions in certain physical systems or to determine the Hausdorff dimension of self-affine sets. In…

A free-falling absorbing liquid drop hit by a nanosecond laser-pulse experiences a strong recoil-pressure kick. As a consequence, the drop propels forward and deforms into a thin sheet which eventually fragments. We study how the drop…
Localized deformation patterns are a common motif in morphogenesis and are increasingly finding widespread applications in materials science, for instance as memory devices. Here we describe the emergence of spatially localized deformations…
