In this work we consider the elasticity problem for two domains separated by a heterogeneous layer. The layer has an $\varepsilon-$periodic structure, $\varepsilon\ll1$, including a multiple micro-contact between the structural components.…
We present the second of two articles on the small volume fraction limit of a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard functional introduced to model microphase separation of diblock copolymers. After having established the results for the sharp-interface…
It is shown that a potential consisting of three Dirac's delta functions on the line with disappearing distances can give rise to the discontinuity in wave functions with the proper renormalization of the delta function strength. This can…
We are concerned with the large time behavior of solutions to the Cauchy problem of the one-dimensional compressible micropolar fluid model without viscosity, where the far-field states of the initial data are prescribed to be different. If…
We address a free boundary model for the compressible Euler equations where the free boundary, which is elastic, evolves according to a weakly damped fourth order hyperbolic equation forced by the fluid pressure. This system captures the…
We present a detailed solution of the active interface equations in the inviscid limit. The active interface equations were previously introduced as a toy model of membrane-protein systems: they describe a stochastic interface where growth…
Based on a baryon-baryon interaction model with meson exchanges, we investigate the origin of the strong attraction in the $N \Omega ( {}^{5}S_{2} )$ interaction, which was indicated by recent lattice QCD simulations. The long range part of…
Cosmological models where dark matter interacts with dark energy via a pure momentum transfer and with no energy exchange (i.e. elastic) provide compelling scenarios for addressing the apparent lack of structures at low redshift. In…
Soft interfaces formed by lipid membranes are fundamental to living cells, synthetic cells, and membrane-based soft materials. However, a quantitative framework linking molecular organization with nonlinear interfacial mechanics remains…
We solve two-dimensional model of $N$-component dense electron gas in the limit of large $N$ and in a range of the Coulomb interaction parameter: $N^{-3/2}\ll r_s\ll 1$. The quasiparticle interaction on the Fermi circle vanishes as 1/N. The…
We address the fluid-structure interaction between a viscous incompressible fluid and an elastic plate forming its moving upper boundary in three dimensions. The fluid is described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with a free…
We consider the dynamics of $N$ interacting bosons in three dimensions which are strongly confined in one or two directions. We analyze the two cases where the interaction potential $w$ is rescaled by either $N^{-1}w(\cdot)$ or…
We show that nonlinearly elastic plates of thickness $h\to 0$ with an $\varepsilon$-periodic structure such that $\varepsilon^{-2}h\to 0$ exhibit non-standard behaviour in the asymptotic two-dimensional reduction from three-dimensional…
In this paper, we study an interaction problem between a $3D$ compressible viscous fluid and a $3D$ nonlinear viscoelastic solid fully immersed in the fluid, coupled together on the interface surface. The solid is allowed to have…
If the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Sector turns out to be strongly interacting, the actively investigated effective theory for longitudinal gauge bosons plus Higgs can be efficiently extended to cover the regime of saturation of unitarity…
When a drop of liquid comes into contact with a solid surface, it relaxes towards an equilibrium configuration, either wetting the surface or remaining in a droplet-like shape with a finite contact angle. The force driving the process…
A strongly interacting plasma of linearly dispersing electron and hole excitations in two spatial dimensions (2D), also known as a Dirac fluid, can be captured by relativistic hydrodynamics and shares many universal features with other…
We consider the geometry of the space of Borel measures endowed with a distance that is defined by generalizing the dynamical formulation of the Wasserstein distance to concave, nonlinear mobilities. We investigate the energy landscape of…
Bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs) are an essential component of many biological systems, forming a functional barrier between the cell and the surrounding environment. When the membrane relaxes from a structural perturbation, the dynamics of…
The vacuum energy density is calculated for the $O(N)$ nonlinear sigma models in two dimensions. To obtain $\varepsilon_{vac}$ we assume that each point of the space in which non-perturbative f\/ields are determined can be replaced by a…
