In this paper we introduce the notions of critical and noncritical multipliers for subdifferential variational systems extending to a general framework the corresponding notions by Izmailov and Solodov developed for classical…
We study a nonlocal perimeter functional inspired by the Minkowski content, whose main feature is that it interpolates between the classical perimeter and the volume functional. This problem is related by a generalized coarea formula to a…
On the two dimensional sphere, we consider axisymmetric critical points of an isoperimetric problem perturbed by a long-range interaction term. When the parameter controlling the nonlocal term is sufficiently large, we prove the existence…
We study energy minimizers of the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) free energy, a fundamental model of superconductivity. We address the high-$\kappa$ regime, the regime of a large GL parameter, in which energy minimizers exhibit vortex structures…
We derive thermodynamically consistent models for diblock copolymer solutions coupled with the electric and magnetic field, respectively. These models satisfy the second law of thermodynamics and therefore are therefore thermodynamically…
This paper aims to provide various applications for second-order variational analysis of extended-real-valued piecewise liner functions recently obtained in [1]. We mainly focus here on establishing relationships between full stability of…
We model a melt of monodisperse side-chain liquid crystalline polymers as a melt of comb copolymers in which the side groups are rod-coil diblock copolymers. We consider both excluded volume and Maier-Saupe interactions. The first acts…
Consider a collection of particles interacting through an attractive-repulsive potential given as a difference of power laws and normalized so that its unique minimum occurs at unit separation. For a range of exponents corresponding to mild…
For a second-order particle system in $\mathbb R^d$ subject to locally-in-space pairwise annihilation, we prove a scaling limit for its empirical measure on position and velocity towards a degenerate elliptic partial differential equation.…
We use a Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional to investigate diblock copolymer morphologies when the copolymer melt interacts with one surface or is confined between two chemically patterned surfaces. For temperatures above the…
When canonical Hamiltonians of local quantum field theories are transformed using a renormalization group procedure for effective particles, the resulting interaction terms are non-local. The range of their non-locality depends on the…
We geometrically characterize one-qubit dissipators of a Lindblad type. An efficient parametrization in terms of 6 linear parameters opens the way to various optimizations with local dissipation. As an example, we study maximal steady-state…
We investigate the connection between local minima in the problem Hamiltonian and first order quantum phase transitions during an adiabatic quantum computation. We demonstrate how some properties of the local minima can lead to an extremely…
In this paper we develop a detailed analysis of critical prewetting in the context of the two-dimensional Ising model. Namely, we consider a two-dimensional nearest-neighbor Ising model in a $2N\times N$ rectangular box with a boundary…
We establish a local minimality sufficiency criterion, based on the strict positivity of the second variation, in the context of a variational model for the epitaxial growth of elastic films. Our result holds also in the three-dimensional…
We consider micro- and macro- phase separation in blends of AB and BC diblock copolymers. We show that, depending on architecture, a number of phase diagram topologies are possible. Microphase separation or macrophase separation can occur,…
Off-diagonal profiles of local densities (e.g. order parameter or energy density) are calculated at the bulk critical point, by conformal methods, for different types of boundary conditions (free, fixed and mixed). Such profiles, which are…
The quasistatic rate-independent evolution of a delamination at small strains in the so-called mixed mode, i.e.~distinguishing opening (Mode I) from shearing (Mode II) is rigorously analyzed in the context of a concept of stress-driven…
We consider a Maxwell-$CP(2)$ model extended to include a magnetic impurity. We focus our attention on the time-independent configurations with radial symmetry, from which we minimize the corresponding energy by following the…
In [arXiv:1806.06668], we have studied the Boltzmann random triangulation of the disk coupled to an Ising model on its faces with Dobrushin boundary condition at its critical temperature. In this paper, we investigate the phase transition…
