The tensile force along a cylindrical lipid bilayer tube is proportional to the membrane's bending modulus and inversely proportional to the tube radius. We show that this relation, which is experimentally exploited to measure bending…

Localized patterns and nonlinear oscillation formation on the bounded free surface of an ideal incompressible liquid are analytically investigated . Cnoidal modes, solitons and compactons, as traveling non-axially symmetric shapes are…

Exploiting the special features of four-dimensional Riemannian geometry, we derive topological and rigidity results for hypersurfaces immersed in space forms of dimension 5. First, we provide a complete description of the Weyl tensor for…

Wrinkling instabilities of thin elastic sheets can be used to generate periodic structures over a wide range of length scales. Viscosity of the thin elastic sheet or its surrounding medium has been shown to be responsible for dynamic…

In this work, we are interested in studying Serrin's overdetermined problems in Riemannian manifolds. For manifolds endowed with a conformal vector field, we prove a Pohozoaev-type identity to show a Serrin's type rigidity result using the…

We elucidate consistency of the so-called corner equations which are elementary building blocks of Euler-Lagrange equations for two-dimensional pluri-Lagrangian problems. We show that their consistency can be derived from the existence of…

In this paper, we study planar polygonal curves from the variational methods. We show an unified interpretation of discrete curvatures and the Steiner-type formula by extracting the notion of the discrete curvature vector from the first…

Across various scientific and engineering domains, a growing interest in flexible and deployable structures is becoming evident. These structures facilitate seamless transitions between distinct states of shape and find broad applicability…

There is a canonical identification, due to the author, of a convex real projective structure on an orientable surface of genus g and a pair consisting of a conformal structure together with a holomorphic cubic differential on the surface.…

We prove rigidity of oriented isometric immersions of complete surfaces in the homo- geneous 3-manifolds E(k; {\tau}) (different from the space forms) having the same positive extrinsic curvature.

Surfaces of revolution in three-dimensional Euclidean space are considered. Several new examples of surfaces of revolution associated with well-known solvable cases of the Schoedinger equation (infinite well, harmonic oscillator, Coulomb…

This work is motivated by two central questions in the birational geometry of moduli spaces of curves -- Fulton's conjecture and the effective cone of $\bar M_g$. We study the algebro-geometric aspect of Teichmuller curves parameterizing…

We prove that any compact surface with constant positive curvature and conical singularities can be decomposed into irreducible components of standard shape, glued along geodesic arcs connecting conical singularities. This is a spherical…

The present paper develops a variational theory of discrete fields defined on abstract cellular complexes. The discrete formulation is derived solely from a variational principle associated to a discrete Lagrangian density on a discrete…

By employing the method of moving planes in a novel way we extend some classical symmetry and rigidity results for smooth minimal surfaces to surfaces that have singularities of the sort typically observed in soap films.

We prove that for any discrete curvature satisfying Gauss-Bonnet formula, there exist a unique up to scaling inversive distance circle packing in the discrete conformal equivalent class, whose polyhedral metric meets the target curvature.…

We introduce a new class of discrete conformal structures on surfaces with boundary, which have nice interpolations in 3-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. Then we prove the global rigidity of the new discrete conformal structures using…

A variety of models for the membrane-mediated interaction of particles in lipid membranes, mostly well-established in theoretical physics, is reviewed from a mathematical perspective. We provide mathematically consistent formulations in a…

Material strength is a classical concept with renewed importance in fracture mechanics, particularly in crack nucleation in brittle solids. We formulate material strength in finite elasticity and examine its geometric, constitutive, and…

We investigate the local deformation space of 3-dimensional cone-manifold structures of constant curvature $\kappa \in \{-1,0,1\}$ and cone-angles $\leq \pi$. Under this assumption on the cone-angles the singular locus will be a trivalent…
