We investigate Dirichlet Laplacian in a straight twisted tube of a non-circular cross section, in particular, its discrete spectrum coming from a local slowdown of the twist. We prove a Lieb-Thirring-type estimate for the spectral moments…
Landen transformation, and more generally modular correspondences, can be seen to be exact symmetries of some integrable lattice models, like the square Ising model, or the Baxter model. They are solutions of remarkable Schwarzian equations…
This is a commentary on Teichm\"ullers' paper "Ver\"anderliche Riemannsche Fl\"achen" (Variable Riemann Surfaces), published in 1944. This paper is the last one that Teichm\"uller wrote on the problem of moduli. At most places the paper…
We consider planar skew Brownian motion (BM) across pre-fractal Koch interfaces $\partial \Omega^n$ and moving on $\overline{\Omega^n} \cup \Sigma^n= \Omega^n_\varepsilon$. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the corresponding…
We study the Laplacian in deformed thin (bounded or unbounded) tubes in ?$\R^3$, i.e., tubular regions along a curve $r(s)$ whose cross sections are multiplied by an appropriate deformation function $h(s)> 0$. One the main requirements on…
We consider Laplacian Growth of self-similar domains in different geometries. Self-similarity determines the analytic structure of the Schwarz function of the moving boundary. The knowledge of this analytic structure allows us to derive the…
Considering the Teichm\"uller space of a surface equipped with Thurston's Lipschitz metric, we study geodesic segments whose endpoints have bounded combinatorics. We show that these geodesics are cobounded, and that the closest-point…
We prove that the higher direct images of the dualizing sheaf of a Lagrangian fibration between smooth projective manifolds are isomorphic to the cotangent bundles of base space. As a corollary, we obtain that every Hodge number of the base…
The mechanical responses of dense packings of soft athermal spheres under a finite-rate shear are studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations. We investigate the volume fraction and shear rate dependence of the fluctuations in the…
In this paper, we describe the structure of shape derivatives around sets which are only assumed to be of finite perimeter in $\R^N$. This structure allows us to define a useful notion of positivity of the shape derivative and we show it…
We construct a quantisation of the Teichmueller spaces of super Riemann surfaces using coordinates associated to ideal triangulations of super Riemann surfaces. A new feature is the non-trivial dependence on the choice of a spin structure…
We introduce coordinates on the moduli spaces of maximal globally hyperbolic constant curvature 3d spacetimes with cusped Cauchy surfaces S. They are derived from the parametrisation of the moduli spaces by the bundle of measured geodesic…
The Chern-Simons axion coupling of a bulk insulator is only defined modulo a quantum of e^2/h. The quantized part of the coupling is uniquely defined for a bounded insulating sample, but it depends on the specific surface termination.…
In analogy with the vector bundle theory we define universal and strongly universal Lefschetz fibrations over bounded surfaces. After giving a characterization of these fibrations we construct very special strongly universal Lefschetz…
For the evolution of a compressible fluid in spherical symmetry on a Schwarzschild curved background, we design a class of well-balanced numerical algorithms with first-order or second-order of accuracy. We treat both the relativistic…
The Stokes equation with the varying viscosity is considered in a thin tube structure, i.e. in a connected union of thin rectangles with heights of order $\varepsilon<<1 $ and with bases of order 1 with smoothened boundary. An asymptotic…
We revisit and derive the shock-change equations relating the dynamics of a shock wave with the partial derivatives describing the motion of a reactive fluid with general equation of state in a stream-tube with arbitrary area variation. We…
We give a direct calculation of the curvature of the Hitchin connection, in geometric quantization on a symplectic manifold, using only differential geometric techniques. In particular, we establish that the curvature acts as a first-order…
Direct numerical simulation of open channel flow over a geometrically rough wall has been performed at a bulk Reynolds number of approximately 2900. The wall consisted of a layer of spheres in a square arrangement. Two cases have been…
The geometrical picture of gauge theories must be enlarged when a gauge potential ceases to behave like a connection, as it does in electroweak interactions. When the gauge group has dimension four, the vector space isomorphism between…
