Low energy interactions between particles are often characterised by elastic scattering. Just as electrons undergo Thomson scattering with photons, dark matter particles may experience an analogous form of momentum exchange with dark…
We consider a finite region of a $d$-dimensional lattice, $d\in\mathbb{N}$, of weakly coupled harmonic oscillators. The coupling is provided by a nearest-neighbour potential (harmonic or not) of size $\varepsilon$. Each oscillator weakly…
A phenomenological model of the evolution of an ensemble of interacting dislocations in an isotropic elastic medium is formulated. The line-defect microstructure is described in terms of a spatially coarse-grained order parameter, the…
It has recently become popular to analyze the behavior of excess dislocations in plastic deformation under the assumption that such dislocations are arranged into walls with periodic dislocation spacing along the wall direction. This…
We analyze the well-posedness of an anisotropic, nonlocal diffusion equation. Establishing an equivalence between weighted and unweighted anisotropic nonlocal diffusion operators in the vein of unified nonlocal vector calculus, we apply our…
An analysis of errors in measurement yields new insight into the penetration of quantum particles into classically forbidden regions. In addition to ``physical" values, realistic measurements yield ``unphysical" values which, we show, can…
We prove existence and uniqueness of a solution to the problem of minimizing the logarithmic energy of vector potentials associated to a $d$-tuple of positive measures supported on closed subsets of the complex plane. The assumptions we…
In relativity, the energy of a moving particle depends on the observer, and the rest mass is the minimal energy seen among all observers. The Wang-Yau quasi-local mass for a surface in spacetime introduced in [7] and [8] is defined by…
The isotropy of space is not a logical requirement but rather is an empirical question; indeed there is suggestive evidence that universe might be anisotropic. A plausible source of these anisotropies could be quantum gravity corrections.…
Quantum nonlocality concerns correlations among spatially separated systems that cannot be classically explained without post-measurement communication among the parties. Thus, a natural measure of nonlocal correlations is provided by the…
This letter establishes the asymptotic optimality of equal power allocation for measurements of a continuous wide-sense stationary (WSS) random process with a square-integrable autocorrelation function when linear estimation is used on…
The quasilocal energy of gravitational and matter fields in a spatially bounded region is obtained by employing a Hamilton-Jacobi analysis of the action functional. First, a surface stress-energy-momentum tensor is defined by the functional…
We study the nonlinear elastic response of a two-dimensional material to a localized boundary force, with the particular goal of understanding the differences observed between isotropic granular materials and those with hexagonal…
Experimental measurements of contact forces are limited to spheres and disks in three and two dimensions, making the evaluation of the shape effect and universality of force distributions and the comparison between experiments and theories…
We study an energy minimization problem $\sum_{i \neq j} W(z_i - z_j)$ for $N$ points $\left\{z_1, \dots, z_N\right\}$ with applications in dislocation theory. The $N$ points lie in the two-dimensional domain $\mathbb{R} \times [-\pi,…
We investigate, under a volume constraint and among sets contained in a Euclidean half-space, the minimization problem of an energy functional given by the sum of a capillarity perimeter, a nonlocal interaction term and a gravitational…
In the nonlocal Almgren problem, the goal is to investigate the convexity of a minimizer under a mass constraint via a nonlocal free energy generated with some nonlocal perimeter and convex potential. In the paper, the main result is a…
Besides the chemical constituents, it is the lattice geometry that controls the most important material properties. In many interesting compounds, the arrangement of elements leads to pronounced anisotropies, which reflect into a varying…
We consider here a nonlocal phase transition energy in a periodic medium and we construct solutions whose interfaces lie at a bounded distance from any given hyperplane. These solutions are either periodic or quasiperiodic, depending on the…
Characterizing structural inhomogeneity is an essential step in understanding the mechanical response of amorphous materials. We introduce a threshold-free measure based on the field of vectors pointing from the center of each particle to…
