Poincaré's uniformisation theorem says that any Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to a unique (up to isometry) surface of constant Gauss curvature 0, 1 or –1. The (topologically) richest of these three worlds is for curvature –1 formed of hyperboli ...

Simultaneous and proportional control of a prosthetic hand and wrist is still a controversial issue, although giant steps have lately been made in this direction. In this paper, we study the application of a novel machine learning method to the problem, wi ...

Using the backstepping approach we recover the null controllability for the heat equations with variable coefficients in space in one dimension and prove that these equations can be stabilized in finite time by means of periodic time-varying feedback laws. ...

Let M be a quotient of H-2 x ... x H-2 (product of hyperbolic planes) by a uniform lattice of. PSL2(R))(n). We prove that, among metrics of M of prescribed volume, the sum of hyperbolic metrics has minimal volume entropy. ...
The accurate prediction of transmural stresses in arterial walls requires on the one hand robust and efficient numerical schemes for the solution of boundary value problems including fluid–structure interactions and on the other hand the use of a material ...
We prove that the smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem for a full isentropic three-dimensional liquid crystal nematodynamic equations with conserved mass, linear momentum, and dissipating total energy, can lose classical smoothness within a finite time. ...
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 ...
We study the formation of singularities for cylindrical symmetric solutions to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing a Dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate. We prove that solutions arising from initial data with energy below the energy of the Ground State a ...
In quantum many-body systems, the existence of a spectral gap above the ground state has far-reaching consequences. In this paper, we discuss “finite-size” criteria for having a spectral gap in frustration-free spin systems and their applications. We exten ...
We study time-like hypersurfaces with vanishing mean curvature in the (3+1) dimensional Minkowski space, which are the hyperbolic counterparts to minimal embeddings of Riemannian manifolds. The catenoid is a stationary solution of the associated Cauchy pro ...
