We consider the extrinsic geometry of surfaces in simply isotropic space, a three-dimensional space equipped with a rank 2 metric of index zero. Since the metric is degenerate, a surface normal cannot be unequivocally defined based on…
This paper contains three types of results: 1. the construction of ground state solutions for a long-range Ising model whose interfaces stay at a bounded distance from any given hyperplane, 2. the construction of nonlocal minimal surfaces…
Recent work on Abelian topological phases with rotational symmetry has raised the question of whether rotational symmetry can protect gapless propagating edge modes. Here we address this issue by considering the coupling of topological…
Artificial spin ices provide a controlled platform for investigating diverse physical phenomena, such as geometric frustration, magnetic monopoles, and phase transitions, via deliberate design. Here, we introduce a novel approach by…
The isotropic 3-space I^3 which is one of the Cayley--Klein spaces is obtained from the Euclidean space by substituting the usual Euclidean distance with the isotropic distance. In the present paper, we give several classifications on the…
We found a class of triangulated surfaces in Euclidean space which have similar properties as isothermic surfaces in Differential Geometry. We call a surface isothermic if it admits an infinitesimal isometric deformation preserving the mean…
A novel class of integrable surfaces is recorded. This class of O surfaces is shown to include and generalize classical surfaces such as isothermic, constant mean curvature, minimal, `linear' Weingarten, Guichard and Petot surfaces and…
A surface with boundary is randomly generated by gluing polygons along some of their sides. We show that its genus and number of boundary components asymptotically follow a bivariate normal distribution.
We perform large scale simulations of the frustrated Ising lattice gas, a three-dimensional lattice model of a structural glass, using the parallel tempering technique. We evaluate the spin and density overlap distributions, and the…
In this paper, we investigate the differential geometric properties of lightcone framed surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space. In general, a mixed type surface is a connected regular surface with non-empty spacelike and timelike point sets.…
We make observations about constant mean curvature surfaces in Euclidean 3-space and their dual surfaces, and the resulting pairs of surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space under the Lawson correspondence.
We continue the study of Confined Vortex Surfaces (\CVS{}) that we introduced in the previous paper. We classify the solutions of the \CVS{} equation and find the analytical formula for the velocity field for arbitrary background strain…
Various examples of folding curves in $R^{2}$ have been considered: dragons and other square curves, terdragons and other triangular curves, Peano-Gosper curves based on hexagons. They are self-avoiding. They form coverings of $R^{2}$, by…
In Euclidean space, we investigate surfaces whose mean curvature $H$ satisfies the equation $H=\alpha\langle N,\mathbf{x}\rangle+\lambda$, where $N$ is the Gauss map, $\mathbf{x}$ is the position vector and $\alpha$ and $\lambda$ are two…
Interfaces in three-dimensional many-body systems can exhibit rich phenomena beyond the corresponding bulk properties. In particular, they can fluctuate and give rise to massless low energy degrees of freedom even in the presence of a…
A mixed type surface is a connected regular surface in a Lorentzian 3-manifold with non-empty spacelike and timelike point sets. The induced metric of a mixed type surface is a signature-changing metric, and their lightlike points may be…
At each point in an immersed surface in $\mathbb R^4$ there is a curvature ellipse in the normal plane which codifies all the local second order geometry of the surface. More recently, at the singular point of a corank 1 singular surface in…
Imbibition phenomena have been widely used experimentally and theoretically to study the kinetic roughening of interfaces. We critically discuss the existing experiments and some associated theoretical approaches on the scaling properties…

We study a surface model with a self-avoiding (SA) interaction using the canonical Monte Carlo simulation technique on fixed-connectivity (FC) triangulated lattices of sphere topology. The model is defined by an area energy, a deficit angle…
