We study the spectrum of phase transitions with prescribed mean curvature in Riemannian manifolds. These phase transitions are solutions to an inhomogeneous semilinear elliptic PDE that give rise to diffuse objects (varifolds) that limit to…
Computer simulations of first-order phase transitions using standard toroidal boundary conditions are generally hampered by exponential slowing down. This is partly due to interface formation, and partly due to shape transitions. The latter…

Infinite persistence marks the topological transition. For finite persistence, the canyon-finding rate Gamma(tau_p) on the p=2 spherical spin glass forms an inverted-U profile, peaking at an optimal tau_p^*. At low temperature (T=0.05),…
