We show that the stacking of flat aromatic molecules on a curved surface results in topological defects. We consider, as an example, spherical vesicles, self-assembled from molecules with 5- and 6-thiophene cores. We predict that the…

We study gauge fixing via the standard local extremization algorithm for 2-dimensional $U(1)$. On a lattice with spherical topology $S^2$ where all copies are lattice artifacts, we find that the number of these 'Gribov' copies diverges in…

This paper develops a mathematical framework for interpreting observations of solar inertial waves in an idealized setting. Under the assumption of purely toroidal linear waves on the sphere, the stream function of the flow satisfies a…

In this article we present a goal-oriented adaptive finite element method for a class of subsurface flow problems in porous media, which exhibit seepage faces. We focus on a representative case of the steady state flows governed by a…

Following our paper [J. Math. Phys. 50 (2009) 123102], we systematically carry out Lie symmetry analysis for the barotropic vorticity equation on the rotating sphere. All finite-dimensional subalgebras of the corresponding maximal Lie…

We investigate a steady planar flow of an ideal fluid in a bounded simple connected domain and focus on the vortex patch problem with prescribed vorticity strength. There are two methods to deal with the existence of solutions for this…

Spherical particles confined to a sphere surface cannot pack densely into a hexagonal lattice without defects. In this study, we use hard particle Monte Carlo simulations to determine the effects of continuously deformable shape anisotropy…

Standing waves appear at the surface of a spherical viscous liquid drop subjected to radial parametric oscillation. This is the spherical analogue of the Faraday instability. Modifying the Kumar & Tuckerman (1994) planar solution to a…

We present a detailed study of rectilinear shear deformation in the framework of orthotropic nonlinear elasticity, under Dirichlet and mixed-boundary conditions. We take a slab made of a soft matrix, reinforced with two families of…

An analogue of the total variation prior for the normal vector field along the boundary of piecewise flat shapes in 3D is introduced. A major class of examples are triangulated surfaces as they occur for instance in finite element…

We investigate the problem of determining the shape of a rotating celestial object - e.g., a comet or an asteroid - under its own gravitational field. More specifically, we consider an object symmetric with respect to one axis - such as a…

This paper presents a phase-field model for simulating the three-dimensional deformation of vesicle membranes, incorporating area-difference elasticity, with constraints on bulk volume and surface area. We develop efficient numerical…

A two step mesh deformation approach for large nodal deformations, typically arising from non-parametric shape optimization, fluid-structure interaction or computer graphics, is considered. Two major difficulties, collapsed cells and an…

We consider a range of geometric stability problems for hypersurfaces of spaceforms. One of the key results is an estimate relating the distance to a geodesic sphere of an embedded hypersurface with integral norms of the traceless Hessian…

In this paper we propose and analyze a new Multiscale Method for solving semi-linear elliptic problems with heterogeneous and highly variable coefficient functions. For this purpose we construct a generalized finite element basis that spans…

We consider the linear stability to axisymmetric perturbations of the family of inviscid vortex rings discovered by Norbury (1973). Since these vortex rings are obtained as solutions to a free-boundary problem, their stability analysis is…

We investigate in a $2$D setting the scattering of time-harmonic electromagnetic waves by a plasmonic device, represented as a non dissipative bounded and penetrable obstacle with a negative permittivity. Using the $\textrm{T}$-coercivity…

We show that a spontaneous bending of single layer bolaamphiphiles results from the frustration due to the competition between core-core and tail-solvent interactions. We find that spherical vesicles are stable under rather general…

Elastic deformation due to embedded fluidic networks is currently studied in the context of soft-actuators and soft-robotic applications. In this work, we analyze interaction between the elastic deflection of a slender beam and viscous flow…

We present the exact solution of a family of fragmented Bose-Hubbard models and represent the models as graphs with the condensates in the vertices. The models are solved by the algebraic Bethe ansatz method. We show that the models have…
