The Schrodinger equation for an electron near an azimuthally symmetric curved surface $\Sigma$ in the presence of an arbitrary uniform magnetic field $\mathbf B$ is developed. A thin layer quantization procedure is implemented to bring the…

We prove a relation between the scaling $h^\beta$ of the elastic energies of shrinking non-Euclidean bodies $S_h$ of thickness $h\to 0$, and the curvature along their mid-surface $S$. This extends and generalizes similar results for plates…

A quasistatic model for a horizontally loaded thin elastic composite at small strains is studied. The composite consists of two adjacent plates whose interface behaves in a cohesive fashion with respect to the slip of the two layers. We…

We address three related problems in the theory of elasticity, formulated in the framework of double forms: the Saint-Venant compatibility condition, the existence and uniqueness of solutions for equations arising in incompatible…

Energies and equilibrium equations for thin elastic plates are discussed, with emphasis on several issues pertinent to recent approaches in soft condensed matter. Consequences of choice of basis, choice of invariant strain measures, and of…

The paper investigates the detailed features of one-dimensional energy spectra in three-dimensional isotropic turbulence, based on the exact solution of Karman-Howarth equation. Particular interest will be paid on the degree to which…

The subject of this paper is the rigorous derivation of reduced models for a thin plate by means of {\Gamma}-convergence, in the framework of finite plasticity. Denoting by {\epsilon} the thickness of the plate, we analyse the case where…

The dynamics of defect excitations in crystalline solids is necessary to understand the macroscopic low-energy properties of elastic media. We use fracton-elasticity duality to systematically study the defect dynamics and interactions in…

The equations for the equilibrium of a thin elastic ribbon are derived by adapting the classical theory of thin elastic rods. Previously established ribbon models are extended to handle geodesic curvature, natural out-of-plane curvature,…

We establish a geometric inequality relating the Dirichlet energy $E_1(f)$ and the bienergy $E_2(f)$ of smooth maps \[ f : (M,g) \to (\overline{M},\overline{g}) \] between Riemannian manifolds. Assume that $(M,g)$ is a compact, connected…

We rigorously derive a Blake-Zisserman-Kirchhoff theory for thin plates with material voids, starting from a three-dimensional model with elastic bulk and interfacial energy featuring a Willmore-type curvature penalization. The effective…

General relativity and its extensions including torsion identify stress energy momentum as being proportional to the Einstein tensor, thus ensuring both symmetry and conservation. Here we visualize stress energy and momentum by identifying…

We prove two rigidity theorems for open (complete and noncompact) $n$-manifolds $M$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature and the infimum of volume growth order $<2$. The first theorem asserts that the Riemannian universal cover of $M$ has…

The elastic energy functional of a system of discrete dislocation lines is well known from dislocation theory. In this paper we demonstrate how the discrete functional can be used to systematically derive approximations which express the…

We find the strain energy function for isotropic incompressible solids exhibiting a linear relationship between shear stress and amount of shear, and between torque and amount of twist, when subject to large simple shear or torsion…

We study ribbons of vanishing Gaussian curvature, i.e., flat ribbons, constructed along a curve in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. In particular, we first investigate to which extent the ruled structure determines a flat ribbon: in other words, we ask…

We study the interaction between two cracks propagating quasistatically during the tearing of a thin brittle sheet. We show that the cracks attract each other following a path described by a power law resulting from the competition between…

We consider a geometrically fully nonlinear variational model for thin elastic sheets that contain a single disclination. The free elastic energy contains the thickness $h$ as a small parameter. We give an improvement of a recently proved…

In this paper we consider a geometric variant of Hofer's symplectic energy, which was first considered by Eliashberg and Hofer in connection with their study of the extent to which the interior of a region in a symplectic manifold…

We discuss a semi-implicit numerical scheme that allows for minimizing the bending energy of curves within certain isotopy classes. To this end we consider a weighted sum of the bending energy and the tangent-point functional. Based on…
