We consider a moving interface that is coupled to an elliptic equation in a heterogeneous medium. The problem is motivated by the study of displacive solid-solid phase transformations. We show that a nearly flat interface is given by the…
Nonreciprocal interactions-- where forces between entities are asymmetric-- govern a wide range of nonequilibrium phenomena, yet their role in structural transitions in living and active systems remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate a…
Third order amplitude equations on hexagonal lattices can be used for predicting the existence and stability of stripes, up- and down-hexagons in pattern forming systems. These amplitude equations predict the nonexistence of bistable ranges…
Striped Turing patterns and solitary band and disk structures are constructed using a three-variable multiscale model with cubic nonlinearity and global control. The existence and stability conditions of regular structures are analysed…
The intermittent route to spatio-temporal complexity is analyzed in a simple model which displays a subcritical bifurcation without hysteresis. A new type of spatio-temporal complexity is found, induced by fronts which "convectively clean"…
We study the Heisenberg spin chain with twisted boundary conditions, focusing on the adiabatic flow of the energy spectrum as a function of the twist angle. In terms of effective field theory for the nearest-neighbor model, we show that the…
Interactions between an internal flow and wall deformation occur in many biological systems. Such interactions can involve a complex and rich dynamical behavior and a number of peculiarities which depend on the flow parameter range. The aim…
The traditional node percolation map of directed networks is reanalyzed in terms of edges. In the percolated phase, edges can mainly organize into five distinct giant connected components, interfaces bridging the communication of nodes in…
Elastic strips provide a canonical system for studying the mechanisms governing elastic shape transitions. Buckling, linear snap-through, and nonlinear snap-through have been observed in boundary-actuated strips and linked to the type of…
The extended Hubbard model with an attractive density-density interaction, positive pair hopping, or both, is shown to host topological phases, with a doubly degenerate entanglement spectrum and interacting edge spins. This constitutes a…
We present a systematic derivation of the gradient flows associated to a broad class of interfacial energies, emphasizing the relation between intrinsic and extrinsic variations of the interface. We show that the intrinsic variables…
We present a class of thermodynamic systems with constant thermodynamic curvature which, within the context of geometric approaches of thermodynamics, can be interpreted as constant thermodynamic interaction among their components. In…
We present results on stripe formation in the Swift-Hohenberg equation with a directional quenching term. Stripes are "grown" in the wake of a moving parameter step line, and we analyze how the orientation of stripes changes depending on…
We study two dimensional frustrated but non-disordered systems applying a replica approach to a stripe forming model with competing interactions. The phenomenology of the model is representative of several well known systems, like high-Tc…
The response and nonconserved dynamics of a two-phase interface in the presence of a temperature gradient oriented normally to the interface are considered. Two types of boundary conditions on the order parameter are considered, and the…
In forced wetting, a rapidly moving surface drags with it a thin layer of trailing fluid as it is plunged into a second fluid bath. Using high-speed interferometry, we find characteristic structure in the thickness of this layer with…
This work presents some outcomes of a theoretical investigation of incompressible high-order networks defined by a generalized graph representation. We study some of their network topological properties and how these may be related to…
We analyze geometrical structures necessary to represent bulk and surface interactions of standard and substructural nature in complex bodies. Our attention is mainly focused on the influence of diffuse interfaces on sharp discontinuity…
We unravel the stationary properties and the interaction quench dynamics of two bosons, confined in a two-dimensional anisotropic harmonic trap. A transcendental equation is derived giving access to the energy spectrum and revealing the…
A synergetic model describing the state of an ultrathin lubricant layer squeezed between two atomically smooth solid surfaces operating in the boundary friction mode has been developed further. To explain the presence of different operation…
