  • Taylor's swimming sheet in a yield-stress fluid 

    Hewitt, Duncan; Balmforth, NJ (Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017-10-10)
    A yield stress is added to Taylor’s (1951, Proc. Royal Soc. A, 209, 447-461) model of a two-dimensional flexible sheet swimming through a viscous fluid. Both transverse waves along the sheet, as in Taylor’s original model, ...

  • Analytical solutions to slender-ribbon theory 

    Koens, Lyndon Mathijs; Lauga, Eric Jean-Marie (Physical Review Fluids, 2017-08-01)

  • Bounded Height in Families of Dynamical Systems 

    DeMarco, L; Ghioca, D; Krieger, Holly Christine; Dang Nguyen, K; Tucker, T; Ye, H (Oxford University PressInternational Mathematics Research Notices, 2017-08-29)
    Let a, b ∈ $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ be such that exactly one of a and b is an algebraic integer, and let f$_{t}$(z) := z$^{2}$ + t be a family of polynomials parameterized by t ∈ $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$. We prove that the set of all ...

  • Pro-p subgroups of profinite completions of 3-manifold groups 

    Wilton, Henry John; Zalesskii, P
    We completely describe the finitely generated pro-$p$ subgroups of the profinite completion of the fundamental group of an arbitrary 3-manifold. We also prove a pro-$p$ analogue of the main theorem of Bass–Serre theory for ...

  • Hydrogel as a Medium for Fluid-Driven Fracture Study 

    O'Keeffe, Niall; Linden, Paul Frederick
    In this paper we describe how to construct polyacrylamide hydrogels to study the processes linked with hydraulic fracturing. These transparent, linearly elastic and brittle gels permit fracturing at low pressures and speeds ...

  • The Complexity of Translationally Invariant Spin Chains with Low Local Dimension 

    Bausch, Johannes; Cubitt, Toby; Ozols, Maris (Annales Henri Poincaré, 2017-11)
    We prove that estimating the ground state energy of a translationally-invariant, nearest-neighbour Hamiltonian on a 1D spin chain is QMAEXP-complete, even for systems of low local dimension (roughly 40). This is an improvement ...

  • Cool and hot emission in a recurring active region jet 

    Mulay, Sargam; Del, Giulio; Mason, Helen Elizabeth
    Aims. We present a thorough investigation of the cool and hot temperature components in four recurring active region jets observed on July 10, 2015 using the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), X-ray Telescope (XRT), and ...

  • High-dimensional change point estimation via sparse projection 

    Wang, T; Samworth, Richard John
    Changepoints are a very common feature of Big Data that arrive in the form of a data stream. In this paper, we study high-dimensional time series in which, at certain time points, the mean structure changes in a sparse ...

  • Mesoscale and Submesoscale Effects on Mixed Layer Depth in the Southern Ocean 

    Bachman, Scott Daniel; Taylor, John Ryan; Adams, KA; Hosegood, P (American Meteorological SocietyJournal of Physical Oceanography, 2017-09-01)
    Submesoscale dynamics play a key role in setting the stratification of the ocean surface mixed layer and mediating air–sea exchange, making them especially relevant to anthropogenic carbon uptake and primary productivity ...


  • Fractional Calabi-Yau Categories from Landau-Ginzburg Models 

    Kelly, Tyler Lee; Favero, D
    We give criteria for the existence of a Serre functor on the derived category of a gauged Landau-Ginzburg model. This is used to provide a general theorem on the existence of an admissible (fractional) Calabi-Yau subcategory ...

  • Pauli-Lubanski, supertwistors, and the superspinning particle 

    Arvanitakis, AS; Mezincescu, L; Townsend, Paul Kingsley (Springer NatureJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017-06-28)
    We present a novel construction of the super-Pauli-Lubanski pseudo-vector for 4D supersymmetry and show how it arises naturally from the spin-shell constraints in the supertwistor formulation of superparticle dynamics. We ...

  • Uniform and high-order discretization schemes for Sturm–Liouville problems via Fer streamers 

    Ramos, Alberto Gil Couto Pimentel
    The current paper concerns the uniform and high-order discretization of the novel approach to the computation of Sturm–Liouville problems via Fer streamers, put forth in Ramos and Iserles (Numer. Math. 131(3), 541—565 ...

  • Mode Selection in Compressible Active Flow Networks. 

    Forrow, Aden; Woodhouse, Francis Gordon; Dunkel, Jörn (Physical review letters, 2017-07-14)
    Coherent, large-scale dynamics in many nonequilibrium physical, biological, or information transport networks are driven by small-scale local energy input. Here, we introduce and explore an analytically tractable nonlinear ...

  • Markov numbers and Lagrangian cell complexes in the complex projective plane 

    Evans, Jonathan David; Smith, Ivan (Mathematical sciences publishersGEOMETRY & TOPOLOGY, 2018)
    We study Lagrangian embeddings of a class of two-dimensional cell complexes L_p,q into the complex projective plane. These cell complexes, which we call pinwheels, arise naturally in algebraic geometry as vanishing cycles ...

  • Sufficientness postulates for Gibbs-type priors and hierarchical generalizations 

    Bacallado de Lara, Sergio Andres; Battiston, M; Favaro, S; Trippa, L
    A fundamental problem in Bayesian nonparametrics consists of selecting a prior distribution by assuming that the corresponding predictive probabilities obey certain properties. An early discussion of such a problem, although ...

  • Nonlinear evolution of linear optimal perturbations of strongly stratified shear layers 

    Taylor, John Ryan; Caulfield, Colm-cille Patrick; Kaminski, AK (Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017-08-25)
    The Miles-Howard theorem states that a necessary condition for normal-mode instability in parallel, inviscid, steady stratified shear flows is that the minimum gradient Richardson number, $Ri_{g,min}$, is less than 1/4 ...

  • Energy dissipation rate limits for flow through rough channels and tidal flow across topography (vol 808, pg 562, 2016) 

    Kerswell, Richard Rodney (JOURNAL OF FLUID MECHANICS, 2018-01-10)
    This is a corrigendum

  • Small-time fluctuations for sub-Riemannian diffusion loops 

    Habermann, Karen
    We study the small-time fluctuations for diffusion processes which are conditioned by their initial and final positions, under the assumptions that the diffusivity has a sub-Riemannian structure and that the drift vector ...

  • Role of overturns in optimal mixing in stratified mixing layers 

    Mashayek, A; Caulfield, Colm-cille Patrick; Peltier, WR (Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017-09-10)
    Turbulent mixing plays a major role in enabling the large scale ocean circulation. The accuracy of mixing rates estimated from observations depends on our understanding of basic fluid mechanical processes underlying the ...
