In this paper, we consider multi-valued graphs with a prescribed real analytic interface that minimize the Dirichlet energy. Such objects arise as a linearized model of area minimizing currents with real analytic boundaries and our main…
We present the structures of putative global potential energy minima for clusters bound by the Stockmayer (Lennard-Jones plus point dipole) potential. A rich variety of structures is revealed as the cluster size and dipole strength are…
The aim of this paper is to shed light on the problem of controlling a complex network with minimal control energy. We show first that the control energy depends on the time constant of the modes of the network, and that the closer the…
We simplify and complete the construction of fully $O(D)$-equivariant fuzzy spheres $S^d_L$, for all dimensions $d\equiv D-1$, initiated in [G. Fiore, F. Pisacane, J. Geom. Phys. 132 (2018), 423]. This is based on imposing a suitable energy…
The problem of finding optimal curves (the longest arcs) for sub-Lorentzian structures is an optimal control problem with an unbounded control set and a concave cost functional. The question of existence of an optimal solution is nontrivial…
Recently there had been a great deal of activity associated with various schemes of designing both analytical and experimental methods describing knotted structures in electrodynamics and in hydrodynamics.The majority of works in…
We establish an energy quantization for constrained Willmore surfaces, where the constraints are given by area, volume, and total mean curvature, assuming that the underlying conformal structures remain bounded. Furthermore, we show strong…
For an almost contact metric manifold $N$, we find conditions for which either the total space of an $S^1$-bundle over $N$ or the Riemannian cone over $N$ admits a strong K\"ahler with torsion (SKT) structure. In this way we construct new…
We construct non-flat minimal capillary cones with bi-orthogonal symmetry groups for any dimension and contact angle. These cones interpolate between rescalings of a singular solution to the one-phase problem and the free-boundary cone…
We establish a criterion that ensures a bounded almost complex curve in a bounded almost complex 4-manifold minimizes genus amongst all smooth surfaces that share its homology class and the transverse link on its boundary. An immediate…
We demonstrate a method for exact determination of the quadratic curve of minimal energy and minimal curvature variation through three non-colinear points in the plane, including methods to determine the tangent vector and curvature at any…
We provide a characterization of the spectral minimum for a random Schr\"odinger operator of the form $H=-\Delta + \sum_{i \in \Z^d}q(x-i-\omega_i)$ in $L^2(\R^d)$, where the single site potential $q$ is reflection symmetric, compactly…
Benguria and Loss have conjectured that, amongst all smooth closed curves of length $2\pi$ in the plane, the lowest possible eigenvalue of the operator $L=-\Delta+\kappa^2$ was one. They observed that this value was achieved on a…
In this review, we introduce the electrified Dp-branes intersections in the low energy effective theory. We focus on D1-D3, D1-D5 and D0-D2 branes. We give the solutions configurations in the low energy effective theory in the absence and…
Motivated by experiments and formal asymptotic expansions in the physics literature, Maor and Shachar (J. Elasticity 134 (2019), 149-173) studied the behaviour of a model elastic energy of maps between manifolds with incompatible metrics.…
We show that the pre-order defined on the category of contact manifolds by arbitrary symplectic cobordisms is considerably less rigid than its counterparts for exact or Stein cobordisms: in particular, we exhibit large new classes of…
We briefly report our recent construction of new fuzzy spheres of dimensions d=1,2 covariant under the full orthogonal group O(D), D=d+1. They are built by imposing a suitable energy cutoff on a quantum particle in D dimensions subject to a…
We prove that the curl operator on closed oriented $3$-manifolds, i.e., the square root of the Hodge Laplacian on its coexact spectrum, generically has $1$-dimensional eigenspaces, even along $1$-parameter families of $\mathcal{C}^k$…
We construct contact forms with constant $Q^\prime$-curvature on compact three-dimensional CR manifolds which admit a pseudo-Einstein contact form and satisfy some natural positivity conditions. These contact forms are obtained by…
Following recent work on GLSM localization, we work out curvature couplings for rigidly supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models with superpotential for general target spaces, describing both ordinary and twisted chiral superfields on round…
