We consider the scaling-invariant nonlocal Willmore energy, defined via the nonlocal mean curvature by Caffarelli, Roquejoffre and Savin. Our main result is the existence of minimizers in the class of convex $C^1$-curves.
We derive solvability conditions and closed-form solution for the Weber type integral equation, related to the familiar Weber-Orr integral transforms and the old Weber-Titchmarsh problem (posed in Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. 22 (2) (1924),…
The Abraham--Minkowski momentum controversy is the outwardly visible symptom of an inconsistency in the use of the energy-momentum tensor in the case of a plane quasimonochromatic field in a simple linear dielectric. We show that the Gordon…
Let X and Y be oriented topological manifolds of dimension n + 2, and let K and J be connected, locally-flat, oriented, n-dimensional submanifolds of X and Y. We show that up to orientation preserving homeomorphism there is a well-defined…
A Friedman-Robertson-Walker cosmology arising from a five-dimensional Chern-Simons (CS) theory for the group S0(1,5) coupled to matter is considered as an alternative model for dark energy and matter. The four-dimensional reduction…
Under appropriate assumptions the energy of wave equations with damping and variable coefficients $c(x)u_{tt}-\hbox{div}(b(x)\nabla u)+a(x)u_t =h(x)$ has been shown to decay. Determining the rate of decay for the higher order energies…

For a given family of smooth closed curves $\gamma^1,...,\gamma^\alpha\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ we consider the problem of finding an elastic \emph{connected} compact surface $M$ with boundary $\gamma=\gamma^1\cup...\cup\gamma^\alpha$. This is…
We tabulate angularly reduced fourth-order many-body corrections to matrix elements for univalent atoms, derived in [A. Derevianko and E.D. Emmons, Phys. Rev. A 65, 052115 (2002)]. In particular we focused on practically important diagrams…
An intrinsic-state formalism for IBM-4 is presented. A basis of deformed bosons is introduced which allows the construction of a general trial wave function which has Wigner's spin-isospin SU(4) symmetry as a particular limit.…
In a Kaluza-Klein space-time $V^{4}\otimes S^{3}$, we demonstrate that the dimensional reduction of spinors provides a 4-field, whose associated SU(2) gauge connections are geometrized. However, additional and gauge-violating terms arise,…
This paper proves the existence of a bounded energy and integrated energy decay for solutions of the massless Vlasov equation in the exterior of a very slowly rotating Kerr spacetime. This combines methods previously developed to prove…
In its original version, the Thomson problem consists of the search for the minimum-energy configuration of a set of point-like electrons that are confined to the surface of a two-dimensional sphere (${\cal S}^2$) that repel each other…
In this paper we are concerned with energy-conserving methods for Poisson problems, which are effectively solved by defining a suitable generalization of HBVMs, a class of energy-conserving methods for Hamiltonian problems. The actual…
The Casimir energy is the first-order-in-\hbar correction to the energy of a time-independent field configuration in a quantum field theory. We study the Casimir energy in a toy model, where the classical field is replaced by a separable…
In a four dimensional manifold formalism we study the evolutionary behavior as well as the ultimate fate of the universe, in the course of which the contribution of dark energy in these phases are investigated. At one stage we get a…
We consider wave models with lower order terms and recollect some recent results on energy and dispersive estimates for their solution based on symbolic type estimates for coefficients and partly stabilisation conditions. The exposition is…
A formula is given for the Seiberg-Witten invariants of a 4-manifold that is cut along certain kinds of 3-dimensional tori. The formula involves a Seiberg-Witten invariant for each of the resulting pieces.
