Nonequilibrium dynamics at interfaces is generally driven by a chemical potential. Here we demonstrate a generic technique to derive the basic equations of motion, boundary conditions and the chemical potential in a consistent way from…

We present a new variational principle for the gyrokinetic system, similar to the Maxwell-Vlasov action presented in Ref. 1. The variational principle is in the Eulerian frame and based on constrained variations of the phase space fluid…

The stretching and pinch-off of a liquid bridge is a simple way to probe when a suspension of particles stops behaving as a continuum. In this study, we consider density-matched suspensions of rigid nylon fibers with aspect ratios (length…

We investigate regularity of minimizers in two dimensions for certain classes of non-smooth convex functionals. In particular our results apply to the surface tensions that appear in recent works on random surfaces and random tilings of…

We study the stable norm on the first homology of a closed, non-orientable surface equipped with a Riemannian metric. We prove that in every conformal class there exists a metric whose stable norm is polyhedral. Furthermore the stable norm…

In this paper, we propose a variational formulation to study the singular evolution equations that govern the dynamics of surface modulations on crystals below the roughening temperature. The basic idea of the formulation is to expand the…

The variational principle of V. I. Arnold [J. Appl. Math. Mech. Vol. 29, P. 1002 (1965)] is extended to the general conservative inhomogeneous, compressible, and conducting fluid. The concept of iso-vortical flows is generalized to an…

We study the stability of pullback foliations under morphisms and rational maps via Grothendieck's Drapeaux scheme. In the local setting, a foliated version of Schlessinger's Theorem on rigidity of conical singularities was achieved. We…

Using the symmetry group theory of second order PDEs, one finds the symmetry group associated to Tzitzeica surfaces partial differential equation. One studies the inverse problem and one shows that the Tzitzeica surfaces PDE is an…

This paper deals with a kind of design of a ruled surface. It combines concepts from the fields of computer aided geometric design and kinematics. A dual unit spherical B\'ezier-like curve on the dual unit sphere (DUS) is obtained with…

We present a series of experiments investigating the local microstructure of cylindrical piles composed of highly concave particles. By systematically varying particle geometry -- from spheres to strongly non-convex polypods -- as well as…

We utilize total-internal reflection to isolate the two-dimensional `surface foam' formed at the planar boundary of a three-dimensional sample. The resulting images of surface Plateau borders are consistent with Plateau's laws for a truly…

A fluid constituted of hard spherocylinders is studied using a density functional theory for non-spherical hard particles, which can be written as a function of weighted densities. This is based on an extended deconvolution of the Mayer…

Direct comparison is made of the steady-sates and coarsening dynamics in a local system and its nonlocal generalization. The example system is the surface of a solid film in a strong electric field; the morphological evolution of the…

Length spectral rigidity is the question of under what circumstances the geometry of a surface can be determined, up to isotopy, by knowing only the lengths of its closed geodesics. It is known that this can be done for negatively curved…

The deformation theory of hyperbolic and Euclidean cone-manifolds with all cone angles less then 2{\pi} plays an important role in many problems in low dimensional topology and in the geometrization of 3-manifolds. Furthermore, various old…

We generalize the Persson contact mechanics and rubber friction theory to the case where both surfaces have surface roughness. The solids can be rigid, elastic or viscoelastic, and can be homogeneous or layered. We calculate the contact…

Two dimensional flows on fixed smooth surfaces have been studied in the point of view of vorticity dynamics. Firstly, the related deformation theory including kinematics and kinetics is developed. Secondly, some primary relations in…

In this paper we introduce two new notions of sectional curvature for Riemannian manifolds with density. Under both notions of curvature we classify the constant curvature manifolds. We also prove generalizations of the theorems of…

Motivated by a number of recent investigations, we define and investigate the various properties of the ruled surfaces depend on three dimensional Lie groups with a bi-variant metric. We give useful results involving the characterizations…
