We study the local statistical behavior of the super-Coulombic Riesz gas of particles in Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension, with inverse power distance repulsion integrable near $0$, and with a general confinement potential, in a…

The non-factorizing nature of the Hilbert space in Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) due to gauge invariance requires a generalized definition of entanglement entropy. This work employs the framework of von Neumann algebras to investigate the…

We consider an energy functional motivated by the celebrated $K_{13}$ problem in the Oseen-Frank theory of nematic liquid crystals. It is defined for sphere-valued functions and appears as the usual Dirichlet energy with an additional…

We study minimizers of the Allen-Cahn system. We consider the $ \varepsilon $-energy functional with Dirichlet values and we establish the $ \Gamma $-limit. The minimizers of the limiting functional are closely related to minimizing…

We estimate the linear isoperimetric constants of an n-dimensional ellipse. Using these estimates and a technique of Gromov, we estimate the Hopf and linking invariants of Lipschitz maps from ellipses to round spheres. Using these…

For a smooth, bounded domain $\Omega$, $s\in(0,1)$, $p\in \left(1,\frac{n+2s}{n-2s}\right)$ we consider the nonlocal equation $$ \epsilon^{2s} (-\Delta)^s u+u=u^p \quad {\mbox{in}}\Omega $$ with zero Dirichlet datum and a small parameter…

The quantum entanglement entropy of an eternal black hole is studied. We argue that the relevant Euclidean path integral is taken over fields defined on $\alpha$-fold covering of the black hole instanton. The statement that divergences of…

We prove two compactness results for function spaces with finite Dirichlet energy of half-space nonlocal gradients. In each of these results, we provide sufficient conditions on a sequence of kernel functions that guarantee the asymptotic…

We present a variational theory for lattice defects of rotational and translational type. We focus on finite systems of planar wedge disclinations, disclination dipoles, and edge dislocations, which we model as the solutions to minimum…

We provide new general methods in the calculus of variations for the anisotropic Plateau problem in arbitrary dimension and codimension. A new direct proof of Almgren's 1968 existence result is presented; namely, we produce from a class of…

Let A be a compact set in the right-half plane and $\Gamma(A)$ the set in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ obtained by rotating A about the vertical axis. We investigate the support of the limit distribution of minimal energy point charges on $\Gamma(A)$…

We consider two related problems: the first is the minimization of the "Coulomb renormalized energy" of Sandier-Serfaty, which corresponds to the total Coulomb interaction of point charges in a uniform neutralizing background (or rather…

The energetics and stability of dislocations, vacancies and, interstitials in the one-component plasma (OCP), where the charges interact with a log potential and move on the curved surface of a cylinder have been investigated numerically.…

We investigate the behavior of the solution to an elliptic diffraction problem in the union of a smooth set $\Omega$ and a thin layer $\Sigma$ locally described by $\varepsilon h$, where $h$ is a positive function defined on the boundary…

We consider the mixed local/nonlocal semilinear equation \begin{equation*} -\epsilon^{2}\Delta u +\epsilon^{2s}(-\Delta)^s u +u=u^p\qquad \text{in } \Omega \end{equation*} with zero Dirichlet datum, where $\epsilon>0$ is a small parameter,…

After a zero temperature quench, we study the kinetics of the one-dimensional Ising model with long-range interactions between spins at distance $r$ decaying as $r^{-\alpha}$, with $\alpha \le 1$. As shown in our recent study [SciPost Phys…

We consider the interaction of two vortex patches (elliptic Kirchhoff vortices) which move in an unbounded volume of an ideal incompressible fluid. A moment second-order model is used to describe the interaction. The case of integrability…

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,…

In this paper, we study the equilibria of an anisotropic, nonlocal aggregation equation with nonlinear diffusion which does not possess a gradient flow structure. Here, the anisotropy is induced by an underlying tensor field. Anisotropic…

We discuss the nonlocal nature of quantum mechanics and the link with relativistic quantum mechanics such as formulated by quantum field theory. We use here a nonlocal quantum field theory (NLQFT) which is finite, satisfies Poincar\'e…
