We characterize the standard $\mathbb{S}^3$ as the closed Ricci-positive 3-manifold with scalar curvature at least 6 having isoperimetric surfaces of largest area: $4\pi$. As a corollary we answer in the affirmative an interesting special…
We analyze a mean-field model of electrons with pure forward scattering interactions on a square lattice which exhibits spontaneous Fermi surface symmetry breaking with a d-wave order parameter: the surface expands along the kx-axis and…

We analyze the $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric Wess-Zumino model dimensionally reduced to the $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric model in three Euclidean dimensions. As in the original model in four dimensions and the $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ model…
The three-dimensional Gross-Neveu model in $R^{1} \times S^{2}$ spacetime is considered at finite particles number density. We evaluate an effective potential of the composite scalar field $\sigma(x)$, which is expressed in terms of a…
In this paper, analytical solutions describing static and spherically symmetric sources in the decoupling limit of massive gravity are derived. We analyze the model parameter range and specify when a Vainshtein mechanism is possible.…
Let $C$ be a strictly convex domain in a $3$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded above by a constant and let $\Sigma$ be a constant mean curvature surface with free boundary in $C$. We provide a pinching…
All spherically symmetric Riemannian metrics of constant scalar curvature in any dimension can be written down in a simple form using areal coordinates. All spherical metrics are conformally flat, so we search for the conformally flat…
We consider the spherical model on a spider-web graph. This graph is effectively infinite-dimensional, similar to the Bethe lattice, but has loops. We show that these lead to non-trivial corrections to the simple mean-field behavior. We…
We investigate the fluctuations of the free energy of the $2$-spin spherical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model at critical temperature $\beta_c = 1$. When $\beta = 1$ we find asymptotic Gaussian fluctuations with variance $\frac{1}{6N^2}…
In this paper we promote the idea of quantum critical lines ({\em inter alia} surfaces) as opposed to points. A quantum critical line obtains when criticality at zero temperature is extended over a continuum in a one-dimensional line. We…
We prove that a spacelike spherical symmetric constant mean curvature (SSCMC) surface and a general spacelike constant mean curvature (CMC) surface with certain boundary condition at the future null-infinity in Schwarzschild spacetime are…
Exact critical properties of the one-dimensional SU($N$) interacting fermion model with open boundaries are studied by using the Bethe ansatz method. We derive the surface critical exponents of various correlation functions using boundary…
We study mean curvature flow in $\mathbb S_K^{n+1}$, the round sphere of sectional curvature $K>0$, under the quadratic curvature pinching condition $|A|^{2} < \frac{1}{n-2} H^{2} + 4 K$ when $n\ge 4$ and $|A|^{2} <…
We produce a family of bodies in $\mathbb R^3$ parameterized by $\varepsilon > 0$, each bounded by a smooth topological sphere with principal curvatures in $[-1, 1]$, and having volume arbitrarily close to $ 16 - 4\sqrt 3 + \left(10 \sqrt 3…
We establish quantitative topological and singularity properties for (certain) prescribed mean curvature (PMC) hypersurfaces $V^n$ in Riemannian manifolds $(N^{n+1},h)$. Indeed, if $V$ has area at most $A>0$ with PMC given by a…
In this paper, we provide an invariant formulation of completely integrable $CP^{N-1}$ Euclidean sigma models in two dimensions defined on the Riemann sphere $S^2$. The scaling invariance is explicitly taken into account by expressing all…
We consider the following class of equations with exponential nonlinearities on a compact surface $M$: $$ - \Delta u = \rho_1 \left( \frac{h_1 \,e^{u}}{\int_M h_1 \,e^{u} } - \frac{1}{|M|} \right) - \rho_2 \left( \frac{h_2 \,e^{-u}}{\int_M…
The properties of a fluid, or Ising magnet, confined in a $L \times \infty$ geometry with opposing surface fields at the walls are studied by density matrix renormalization techniques. In particular we focus on the effect of gravity on the…
Given a compact Riemannian manifold $M$, we consider a warped product $\bar M = I \times_h M$ where $I$ is an open interval in $\Rr$. We suppose that the mean curvature of the fibers do not change sign. Given a positive differentiable…
