Semi-flexible manifolds such as fluid membranes or semi-flexible polymers undergo delocalization transitions if they are subject to attractive interactions. We study manifolds with short-ranged interactions by field-theoretic methods based…

We show that finite lattices with arbitrary boundaries may support large degenerate subspaces, stemming from the underlying translational symmetry of the lattice. When the lattice is coupled to an environment, a potentially large number of…

We demonstrate that a dipolar condensate can be prepared into a three-dimensional wavepacket that remains localized when released in free-space. Such self-bound states arise from the interplay of the two-body interactions and quantum…

The pinning of an inhomogeneous elastic medium by a disordered substrate is studied analytically and numerically. The static and dynamic properties of a $D$-dimensional system are shown to be equivalent to those of the well known problem of…

A characteristic feature of the Earth is that diffuse thermal convection in the mantle produces localized deformation at the surface: Plate Tectonics. However, modelling this phenomenon remains a challenge, due to inability to simulate…

Cavities, because they trap waves for long times due to their reflecting walls, are used in a vast number of scientific domains. Indeed, in these closed media and due to interferences, the free space continuum of solutions becomes a…

We investigate the ground state properties of rectangular dipole lattices on curved surfaces. The curved geometry can `distort' the lattice and lead to dipole equilibrium configurations that strongly depend on the local geometry of the…

Systems of strongly interacting dipoles offer an attractive platform to study many-body localized phases, owing to their long coherence times and strong interactions. We explore conditions under which such localized phases persist in the…

We consider localization of a random walk (RW) when attracted or repelled by multiple extended manifolds of different dimensionalities. In particular, we focus on $(d-1)$- and $(d-2)$-dimensional manifolds in $d$-dimensional space, where…

Ferromagnetism is typically discussed in terms of the exchange interaction and magnetic anisotropies. Yet real samples are inevitably affected by the magnetostatic dipole-dipole interaction. Because of this interaction, a theorem (R.B.…

We show that current localization in polycrystalline varistors occurs on paths which are, usually, in the universality class of the directed polymer in a random medium. We also show that in ceramic superconductors, voltage localizes on a…

Spontaneous strain localization occurs during mechanical tests of a model amorphous solid simulated using molecular dynamics. The degree of localization depends upon the extent of structural relaxation prior to mechanical testing. In the…
