Teleparallel Gravity (TG) describes gravitation as a torsional- rather than curvature-based effect. As in curvature-based constructions of gravity, several different formulations can be proposed, one of which is the Teleparallel equivalent…
We prove a quantitative rigidity result for almost constant mean curvature spheres in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Under a sub--two--sphere Willmore bound and a small $L^2$--CMC defect, we show that an almost--CMC surface is close to the round sphere,…

We study the $\rm{SU}(3)$-structure induced on an oriented hypersurface of a 7-dimensional manifold with a nearly parallel $\rm{G}_2$-structure. We call such $\rm{SU}(3)$-structures nearly half-flat. We characterise the left invariant…
We study the core structure of the twist-grain-boundary (TGB) phase of chiral liquid crystals by numerically minimizing the Landau-de Gennes free energy. We analyze the morphology of layers at the grain boundary, to better understand the…
A remarkable feature of the band structure of bilayer graphene at small twist angle is the appearance of isolated bands near neutrality, whose bandwidth can be reduced at certain magic angles (eg. $\theta\sim 1.05^\circ$). In this regime,…
The Gromov-Witten theory of threefolds admitting a smooth K3 fibration can be solved in terms of the Noether-Lefschetz intersection numbers of the fibration and the reduced invariants of a K3 surface. Toward a generalization of this result…
We develop a three-dimensional dynamical-systems framework for passive gliding and identify the global phase-space structures that organize its motion. Extending previous two-dimensional models of non-equilibrium gliding, we show that the…
In this work, we consider fluid-structure interaction simulation with nonlinear hyperelastic models in the solid part. We use a partitioned approach to deal with the coupled nonlinear fluid-structure interaction problems. We focus on…
Comparison of heavy-ion experiments to fluid dynamics simulations requires the conversion of the fluid to particles. Extending the approach in Molnar & Wolff, PRC 95, 024903 (2017), this work presents self-consistent bulk viscous…
The roughness properties of two-dimensional fracture surfaces as created by the slow failure of random fuse networks are considered and compared to yield surfaces of perfect plasticity with similar disorder. By studying systems up to a…
