It was found that deformation of S^7 gives rise to renormalization group(RG) flow from N=8, SO(8)-invariant UV fixed point to N=1, G_2-invariant IR fixed point in four-dimensional gauged N=8 supergravity. Also BPS supersymmetric domain wall…

Cascading RG flows are characteristic of $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theories realized by D3-branes probing singularities in the presence of fractional branes. A celebrated example is the Klebanov-Strassler model, which exhibits an infinite…

We study certain small supersymmetry-breaking perturbations of a large class of strongly coupled four-dimensional R-symmetric renormalization group (RG) flows between superconformal field theories in the ultraviolet (UV) and the infrared…

The capture of a soft spherical particle by a rectangular slit leads to a non-monotonic pressure-flow rate relation at low Reynolds number. In the presence of the trapped particle the flow-induced deformations focus the streamlines and…

We consider line defects in d-dimensional Conformal Field Theories (CFTs). The ambient CFT places nontrivial constraints on Renormalization Group (RG) flows on such line defects. We show that the flow on line defects is consequently…

In this paper we consider a ``flow'' of nonparametric solutions of the volume constrained Plateau problem with respect to a convex planar curve. Existence and regularity is obtained from standard elliptic theory, and convexity results for…

We derive an exact functional renormalization group equation for the projectable version of Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity. The flow equation encodes the gravitational degrees of freedom in terms of the lapse function, shift vector and spatial…

The basics of RG equations for generic partition functions are briefly reviewed, keeping in mind an application to the Polyakov-de Boer-Verlindes description of the holomorphic RG flow.

In this paper, we show that starting from a geodesic ball $\overline{B_{r_0}}(0)$ in $\mathbb{H}^n$, for $n\geq3$, with prescribed non-decreasing rotationally symmetric mean curvature and the fixed conformal class $[g_{\mathbb{S}^{n-1}}]$…

Quantum theory of 2d gravity for $c>1$ is examined as a non-critical string theory by taking account of the loop-correction of open strings whose end points are on the 2d world surface of the closed string. This loop-correction leads to a…

This paper investigates the nonlinear dynamics of Newton's problem of minimal resistance in radial fields. We move beyond classical translational symmetry to analyze two non-equilibrium scenarios: a scale-invariant free expansion and an…

We further develop the formalism of arXiv:0712.0159 for approximate solution of Nambu-Goto (NG) equations with polygon conditions in AdS backgrounds, needed in modern studies of the string/gauge duality. Inscribed circle condition is…

The recently developed gauge-invariant formalism for the treatment of fluctuations in holographic renormalization group (RG) flows overcomes most of the previously encountered technical difficulties. I summarize the formalism and present…

In this paper axisymmetric solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations governing the flow induced by a half-line source when the fluid domain is bounded by a conical wall are discussed. Two types of boundary conditions are identified; one in…

An alternative derivation of Brownian motion is presented. Instead of supplementing the linearized Navier-Stokes equation with a fluctuating force, we directly assume a Gaussian action functional for solvent velocity fluctuations. Solvating…

We present a generalized form of open boundary conditions, and an associated numerical algorithm, for simulating incompressible flows involving open or outflow boundaries. The generalized form represents a family of open boundary…

In this paper we provide a variational characterisation for a class of non-linear evolution equations with constant non-negative Dirichlet boundary conditions on a bounded domain as gradient flows in the space of non-negative measures. The…

The fluid flow along the Riga plate with the influence of magnetic force in a rotating system has been investigated numerically. The governing equations have been derived from Navier-Stokes equations. Applying the boundary layer…

We investigate the bounds between normal or anomalous effective diffusion for inertial particles transported by parallel flows. The infrared behavior of the fluid kinetic-energy spectrum, i.e. the possible presence of long-range…

We develop a perturbative formulation of the Ricci flow in gravity. Following steps analogous to the gradient flow in QCD, we supplement the usual Feynman rules for perturbative gravity by flowed propagators and vertices as well as graviton…
