In this paper we continue the analysis of equivariant wave maps from 2-dimensional hyperbolic space into surfaces of revolution that was initiated in [13, 14]. When the target is the hyperbolic plane we proved in [13] the existence and…

We analyze the linear stability of an axially symmetric ideal plasma disk, embedded in a magnetic field and endowed with a differential rotation. This study is performed by adopting the magnetic flux function as the fundamental dynamical…

Moir\'e patterns are known to confine electronic states in transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers, thus generalizing the notion of magic angles discovered in twisted bilayer graphene to semiconductors. Here, we present a revised…

Twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) has been experimentally observed to exhibit almost flat bands when the twisting occurs at certain magic angles. In this letter, we report new results on the continuum model of twisted bilayer graphene and its…

We study $\mathbf L^\infty$ entropy solutions to $2\times 2$ systems of conservation laws. We show that, if a uniformly convex entropy exists, these solutions satisfy a pair of kinetic equations (nonlocal in velocity), which are then shown…

We consider a steady axisymmetric solution of the Euler equations for a fluid (incompressible and with zero vorticity) with a free surface, acted on only by gravity. We analyze stagnation points as well as points on the axis of symmetry. At…

Tangencies correspond to singularities of impact systems, separating between impacting and non-impacting trajectory segments. The closure of their orbits constitute the singularity set, which, even in the simpler billiard limit, is known to…

We consider on a symplectic manifold M with Poisson bracket {,} an Hamiltonian H with complete flow and a family Phi=(Phi_1,...,Phi_d) of observables satisfying the condition {{Phi_j,H},H}=0 for each j. Under these assumptions, we prove a…

Vibrations of an elastic rod are described by a Sturm-Liouville system. We present a general discussion of isospectral (spectrum preserving) deformations of such a system. We interpret one family of such deformations in terms of a…

We investigate how a localized curvature affects the dynamics of massless Dirac fermions in a curved surface. We consider a smooth bump with axial symmetry, adopting two specific geometric models, namely a Gaussian and a volcano-like bumps.…

To fully clarify the invariance of the classical Liouville field theory under the Virasoro algebra, we first elucidate in detail the concept of classical anomaly, discuss the occurrence of two symmetry algebras associated to this problem,…
