Numerical solutions to the nonlinear sigma model (NLSM), a wave map from 3+1 Minkowski space to S^3, are computed in three spatial dimensions (3D) using adaptive mesh refinement (AMR). For initial data with compact support the model is…
A mean field spherical model with random couplings between pairs, quartets, and possibly higher multiplets of spins is considered. It has the same critical behavior as the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. It thus exhibits replica symmetry…
Surface critical behavior (SCB) refers to the singularities of physical quantities on the surface at the bulk phase transition. It is closely related to and even richer than the bulk critical behavior. In this work, we show that three types…
In this paper, close surfaces are considered in 3-dimensional harmonic conformally flat space in point of the variation. It is shown that if the conformal vector field be tangent to surface and the sign of the mean curvature does not change…

This paper develops a technique for applying one-parameter prescribed mean curvature min-max theory in certain non-compact manifolds. We give two main applications. First, fix a dimension $3\le n+1 \le 7$ and consider a smooth function…
We study the spherical mean transform on $\rN^n$. The transform is characterized by the Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation. By looking at the spherical harmonic expansions, we obtain a system of 1+1-dimension hyperbolic equations, which provide…
The massive field-theory approach for studying critical behavior in fixed space dimensions $d<4$ is extended to systems with surfaces.This enables one to study surface critical behavior directly in dimensions $d<4$ without having to resort…
We prove rigidity for hypersurfaces with boundary in the unit $(n+1)$-sphere with scalar curvature bounded below by $n(n-1)$. Under appropriate boundary conditions, the hypersurfaces are shown to be part of the equatorial spheres. The lower…

The boundary-induced scaling of three-dimensional random field Ising magnets is investigated close to the bulk critical point by exact combinatorial optimization methods. We measure several exponents describing surface criticality:…
In this paper, firstly, we show the existence of a compact embedded constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurface $\Sigma_1$ in $\mathbb{S}^{2n}$ of the type $S^{n-1} \times S^{n-1} \times S^{1}$. Moreover, the hypersurface $\Sigma_1$ exhibits…
The Sphere Covering Inequality was introduced in \cite{GM} (\emph{Invent. Math.}, 2018) as a sharp geometric inequality that provides a lower bound for the total area of two distinct surfaces of Gaussian curvature 1. These surfaces are…
We show that $m$ points and $n$ smooth algebraic surfaces of bounded degree in $\mathbb{R}^3$ satisfying suitable nondegeneracy conditions can have at most $O(m^{\frac{2k}{3k-1}}n^{\frac{3k-3}{3k-1}}+m+n)$ incidences, provided that any…
The first main result is a topological rigidity theorem for complete immersed hypersurfaces of spherical space forms which extends similar results due to do Carmo/Warner, Wang/Xia and Longa/Ripoll. Under certain sharp conditions on the…
A recently introduced class of quantum spherical spin models is considered in detail. Since the spherical constraint already contains a kinetic part, the Hamiltonian need not have kinetic term. As a consequence, situations with or without…
Although the fully connected Ising model does not have a length scale, we show that its critical exponents can be found using finite size scaling with the scaling variable equal to N, the number of spins. We find that at the critical…
