We investigate the effect of defect geometry in dictating the sensitivity of the critical buckling conditions of spherical shells under external pressure loading. Specifically, we perform a comparative study between shells containing dimpled (inward) versu ...
This thesis is a study of the global well-posedness of the Cauchy problems for half-wave maps from the Minkowski space of dimension n+1 to the 2-dimensional sphere and the hyperbolic plane. The work is mainly based on the results from Krieger-Sire 17' in ...
When can a unimodular random planar graph be drawn in the Euclidean or the hyperbolic plane in a way that the distribution of the random drawing is isometry-invariant? This question was answered for one-ended unimodular graphs in Benjamini and Timar, using ...
The goal of fairness in classification is to learn a classifier that does not discriminate against groups of individuals based on sensitive attributes, such as race and gender. One approach to designing fair algorithms is to use relaxations of fairness not ...
Ghys and Sergiescu proved in the 1980s that Thompson's group T, and hence F, admits actions by C-infinity diffeomorphisms of the circle. They proved that the standard actions of these groups are topologically conjugate to a group of C-infinity diffeomorphi ...
In this paper we develop new methods for studying the convergence problem for the heat flow on negatively curved spaces and prove that any quasiconformal map of the sphere Sn−1,n≥3, can be extended to the n-dimensional hyperbolic space such that the heat f ...
We consider radially symmetric, energy critical wave maps from (1 + 2)-dimensional Minkowski space into the unit sphere Sm, m≥1, and prove global regularity and scattering for classical smooth data of finite energy. In addition, we establish a ...
The demand for architectural transparency has drastically increased structural use of glass in buildings and constructions. Connections between structural glass components represent one of the main critical aspects of glass engineering. In the last years, ...
The objective of this PhD thesis is the approximate computation of the solutions of the Spectral Problem associated with the Laplace operator on a compact Riemann surface without boundaries. A Riemann surface can be seen as a gluing of portions of the Hype ...

Wave maps are the simplest wave equations taking their values in a Riemannian manifold (M,g). Their Lagrangian is the same as for the scalar equation, the only difference being that lengths are measured with respect to the metric g. By Noether's theorem, s ...
