We prove a quantitative convergence result of the nonlocal Allen--Cahn equation to volume-preserving mean curvature flow. The proof uses gradient flow calibrations and the relative entropy method, which has been used in the recent…

In a previous paper with Schmid (math.NT/0402382) we considered the regularity of automorphic distributions for GL(2,R), and its connections to other topics in number theory and analysis. In this paper we turn to the higher rank setting,…

We study a class of positive random variables having moments of Gamma type, whose density can be expressed by the three-parametric Mittag-Leffler functions. We give some necessary conditions and some sufficient conditions for their…

We study the H^{-1}-norm of the function 1 on tubular neighbourhoods of curves in R^2. We take the limit of small thickness epsilon, and we prove two different asymptotic results. The first is an asymptotic development for a fixed curve in…

This note completely resolves the asymptotic development of order $2$ by $\Gamma$-convergence of the mass-constrained Cahn--Hilliard functional, by showing that one of the critical assumptions of the authors' previous work (Leoni, Murray,…

We obtain density estimates for the free boundaries of minimizers $u \ge 0$ of the Alt-Phillips functional involving negative power potentials $$\int_\Omega \left(|\nabla u|^2 + u^{-\gamma} \chi_{\{u>0\}}\right) \, dx, \quad \quad \gamma…

We prove an asymptotic formula for $F\left(1/4-it+ir,1/4-it-ir,1/2;x \right)$ as $r, t\to\infty$ and $\alpha=r/t\to0.$ This special case of the Gauss hypergeometric function appears in the explicit formula for the first moment of Maass form…

Let $\Gamma$ be a compact codimension-two submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $L$ be a nontrivial real line bundle over $X = \mathbb{R}^n \setminus \Gamma$. We study the Allen--Cahn functional, \[E_\varepsilon(u) = \int_X \varepsilon…

The Gaussian-time-dependent variational equations are used to explored the physics of $(\phi^4)_{3+1}$ field theory. We have investigated the static solutions and discussed the conditions of renormalization. Using these results and…

We consider second order phase field functionals, in the continuum setting, and their discretization with isogeometric tensor product B-splines. We prove that these functionals, continuum and discrete, $\Gamma$-converge to a brittle…

We study the universal critical behaviour near weakly first-order phase transitions for a three-dimensional model of two coupled scalar fields -- the cubic anisotropy model. Renormalization-group techniques are employed within the formalism…

We examine vortices in Abelian Chern-Simons theory coupled to a relativistic scalar field with a chemical potential for particle number or U(1) charge. The Gauss constraint requires chemical potential for the local symmetry to be…

We prove a Gamma-convergence result for an energy functional related to some fractional powers of the Laplacian operator, with two singular perturbations (one in the interior and one on the boundary).

We consider the semiclassical (zero-dispersion) limit of the one-dimensional focusing Nonlinear Schroedinger equation (NLS) with decaying potentials. If a potential is a simple rapidly oscillating wave (the period has the order of the…

We address the asymptotic behavior of the $\alpha$-Gauss curvature flow, for $\alpha >1/2$, with initial data a complete non-compact convex hypersurface which is contained in a cylinder of bounded cross section. We show that the flow…

We consider a Dirichlet to Neumann operator $\mathcal{L}_a$ arising in a model for water waves, with a nonlocal parameter $a\in(-1,1)$. We deduce the expression of the operator in terms of the Fourier transform, highlighting a local…

If a partition $\lambda$ of size n is chosen randomly according to the Plancherel measure $P_n[\lambda] = (\dim \lambda)^2/n!$, then as n goes to infinity, the rescaled shape of $\lambda$ is with high probability very close to a non-random…

The contribution of different modes of the Coulomb field to decoherence and to the dynamical breakdown of the time reversal invariance is calculated in the one-loop approximation for non-relativistic electron gas. The dominant contribution…

We analyse two variants of a nonconvex variational model from micromagnetics with a nonlocal energy functional, depending on a small parameter $\epsilon > 0$. The model gives rise to transition layers, called N\'eel walls, and we study…

We prove a $\Gamma$-convergence result for space dependent weak membrane energies, that is for 'truncated quadratic potentials', that are quadratic below some threshold (depending on the pair of points that we are considering) and constant…
