This note studies the Hardy-type inequalities for vector fields with the $L^1$ norm of the $\curl$. In contrast to the well-known results in the whole space for the divergence-free vectors, we generalize the Hardy-type inequalities to the…
Divergence-free (div-free) and curl-free vector fields are pervasive in many areas of science and engineering, from fluid dynamics to electromagnetism. A common problem that arises in applications is that of constructing smooth approximants…
A framework allowing for perturbative calculations to be carried out for quantum field theories with arbitrary smoothly curved boundaries is described. It is based on an expansion of the heat kernel derived earlier for arbitrary mixed…

We construct new families of symplectic capacities indexed by certain symmetric polynomials, defined using rational symplectic field theory. In particular, we introduce a sequence of capacities based on an L-infinity structure on linearized…
We show that the emerging field of discrete differential geometry can be usefully brought to bear on crystallization problems. In particular, we give a simplified proof of the Heitmann-Radin crystallization theorem (R. C. Heitmann, C.…
We consider the problem of constructing transparent boundary conditions for the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation with a compactly supported binding potential and, if desired, a spatially uniform, time-dependent electromagnetic vector…
Let $A \subset \mathbb{R} ^2 $ be a smooth doubly connected domain. We consider the Dirichlet energy $E(u)=\int_{A} |\nabla u|^2$, where $u:A \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$, and look for critical points of this energy with prescribed modulus…
We construct high rank solutions to Nahm's equations for boundary conditions that correspond to the Dirac multimonopole. Here, the spectral curve is explicitly known and we achieve the integration by constructing a basis of polynomial…
In this work we solve the Dirac equation by constructing the exact bound state solutions for a mixing of vector and scalar generalized Hartmann potentials. This is done provided the vector potential is equal to or minus the scalar…
We show that for any finite configuration of closed curves $\Gamma\subset \mathbb{R}^2$, one can construct an explicit planar polynomial vector field that realizes $\Gamma$, up to homeomorphism, as the set of its limit cycles with…
In this article, we study Poincare maps of harmonic fields in toroidal domains using a shape variational approach. Given a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^3$, we define its harmonic fields as the set of magnetic fields which are curl free and…
Harmonic balls are domains which satisfy the mean-value property for harmonic functions. We establish the existence and uniqueness of harmonic balls on Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surfaces using the obstacle problem formulation of…
In this paper we study a Lorentzian version of the Calder\'{o}n problem, which is concerned with the determination of a connection and potential on a Hermitian vector bundle over a Lorentzian manifold from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map of…
Barrier potentials gained popularity as a means for robust contact handling in physical modeling and for modeling self-avoiding shapes. The key to the success of these approaches is adherence to geometric constraints, i.e., avoiding…
A classical problem in electromagnetics concerns the representation of the electric and magnetic fields in the low-frequency or static regime, where topology plays a fundamental role. For multiply connected conductors, at zero frequency the…
Starting from Laughlin type wave functions with generalized periodic boundary conditions describing the degenerate groundstate of a quantum Hall system we explictly construct $r$ dimensional vector bundles. It turns out that the filling…
Many codes have been developed to study highly relativistic, magnetized flows around and inside compact objects. Depending on the adopted formalism, some of these codes evolve the vector potential $\mathbf{A}$, and others evolve the…
We prove the solvability of a Dirichlet problem for flat hermitian metrics on Hilbert bundles over compact Riemann surfaces with boundary. We also prove a factorization result for flat hermitian metrics on doubly connected domains.
We develop a geometric framework that characterizes the synchronization problem --- the problem of consistently registering or aligning a collection of objects. The theory we formulate characterizes the cohomological nature of…
