Covariant formulation of relativistic mechanics

Accretion disks surrounding compact objects, and other environmental factors, deviate satellites from geodetic motion. Unfortunately, setting up the equations of motion for such relativistic trajectories is not as simple as in Newtonian mechanics. The prin ...

Characterization of the traces on the boundary of functions in magnetic Sobolev spaces

Hoài-Minh Nguyên

We characterize the trace of magnetic Sobolev spaces defined in a half-space or in a smooth bounded domain in which the magnetic field Ais differentiable and its exterior derivative corresponding to the magnetic field dAis bounded. In particular, we prove ...

Machine-Learning of Atomic-Scale Properties Based on Physical Principles

Michele Ceriotti, Michael John Willatt

We briefly summarize the kernel regression approach, as used recently in materials modelling, to fitting functions, particularly potential energy surfaces, and highlight how the linear algebra framework can be used to both predict and train from linear fun ...

High-resolution distributed shape sensing using phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry and multicore fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Zhisheng Yang, Alejandro Dominguez Lopez

In this paper, a highly-sensitive distributed shape sensor based on a multicore fiber (MCF) and phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (φ-OTDR) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The implemented system features a high strain sensitivit ...

Sur quelques équations aux dérivées partielles en lien avec le lemme de Poincaré

David Valentin Strütt

In this thesis, we study two distinct problems. The first problem consists of studying the linear system of partial differential equations which consists of taking a k-form, and applying the exterior derivative 'd' to it and add the wedge product with a 1- ...

Statistical Study of the Unfolding of Multimodular Proteins and their Energy Landscape by Atomic Force Microscopy

Fabrizio Benedetti

The aim of the present thesis is to investigate several aspects of: the proteins mechanics, interprotein interactions and to study also new techniques, theoretical and technical, to obtain and analyze the force spectroscopy experiments. The first section i ...

L'équation de rappel

Olivier Kneuss

In this thesis we are interested in the following problem : given two differential k–forms g and f, most of the time they will be assumed closed, on what conditions can we pullback g to f by a map φ ? In other words we ask when it is possible to solve the ...

A New Lagrangian Dynamic Reduction In Field Theory

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz

For symmetric classical field theories on principal bundles there are two methods of symmetry reduction: covariant and dynamic. Assume that the classical field theory is given by a symmetric covariant Lagrangian density defined on the first jet bundle of a ...

Self-Similar Random Vector Fields and Their Wavelet Analysis

Michaël Unser, Pouya Dehghani Tafti

This paper is concerned with the mathematical characterization and wavelet analysis of self-similar random vector fields. The study consists of two main parts: the construction of random vector models on the basis of their invariance under coordinate trans ...

Metastable supergravity vacua with F and D supersymmetry breaking

Claudio Scrucca

We study the conditions under which a generic supergravity model involving chiral and vector multiplets can admit viable metastable vacua with spontaneously broken supersymmetry and realistic cosmological constant. To do so, we impose that on the vacuum th ...
