Given a closed orientable surface (\Sigma) of genus at least two, we establish an affine isomorphism between the convex compact set of isotopy-invariant topological measures on (\Sigma) and the convex compact set of additive functions on…
Recent works by the second author and Maxwell et al. have shown that the Einstein-scalar field conformal constraint equations are highly complex and generally intractable, even in the vacuum case. In this article, to gain a clearer…

Topological insulator-based methods underpin the topological classification of gapped bands, including those surrounding semi-metallic nodal defects. However, multiple bands with gap-closing points can also possess non-trivial topology. We…

In this paper, the mathematical properties and numerical discretizations of multiphase models that simulate the phase separation of an $N$-component mixture are studied. For the general choice of phase variables, the unisolvent property of…
We study two-dimensional periodic metamaterials in which idealised cylindrical inclusions are modelled by boundary conditions. In the scalar time-harmonic setting, the background field satisfies the Helmholtz equation, and high-contrast…
In the realm of invertible symmetry, the topological approach based on classifying spaces dominates the classification of 't Hooft anomalies and symmetry protected topological phases. We explore the alternative algebraic approach based on…
We present a convergence result for solutions of the vector-valued Allen-Cahn Equation. In the spirit of the work of Luckhaus and Sturzenhecker we establish convergence towards a distributional formulation of multi-phase mean-curvature flow…

This work is concerned with the proof of \emph{a posteriori} error estimates for fully-discrete Galerkin approximations of the Allen-Cahn equation in two and three spatial dimensions. The numerical method comprises of the backward Euler…
The parabolic Allen-Cahn equation is a semilinear partial differential equation linked to the mean curvature flow by a singular perturbation. We show an improved convergence property of the parabolic Allen-Cahn equation to the mean…
