Abstract

By including spatially varying volume fractions of the constituents, composites are obtained that are akin to functionally graded media. An extension of the mathematical apparatus of double groupoids is proposed to incorporate these materials with the aim of eventually classifying defects of misalignment and their time evolution.

(1,k) CFT and RH problem with the c=-2 case

Following approach of Iorgov--Lisovyy--Teschner, we construct solutions of the (modified) Riemann--Hilbert problem using conformal blocks of $(1,k)$ Virasoro models. For $k>1$ case, the solution of this Riemann--Hilbert problem is not unique due to more singular behavior at punctures. On the CFT side the dimension of the space of conformal blocks also increases. We specifically study the $k=2$ case, which corresponds to the central charge $c=-2$ and symplectic fermions. We explicitly construct a corresponding solution of the modified Riemann--Hilbert problem in the case of 3 punctures and prove its uniqueness under suitable initial data conditions. We also obtain new bilinear relations for $c=-2$ tau functions.

Extended States on the Bethe Lattice Revisited

We give a short proof of the classical weak-disorder result that the Anderson model on the Bethe lattice has purely absolutely continuous spectrum on compact intervals in the interior of the free spectrum. This note continues [6], where we gave a minimal proof of the existence of a nontrivial absolutely continuous component using the cyclicity criterion of [8]. There, Hellinger overlap yields the required non-cyclicity. Here, a stability argument for the forward Green function, followed by the zero--one law for the tree recursion, yields positivity of its boundary imaginary part. This positivity already gives absolutely continuous spectrum throughout the interval; the structural result of [7] excludes singular spectrum and yields purity. We also observe that the same structural argument shortens the final passage from boundary positivity to purity in the recent OpenAI preprint on the weak-disorder Anderson model on $\zz^d$, $d\geq3$ [10].

Wrinkling of a bilayered cylinder under tension

We study near-surface tension instabilities in bilayered cylinders composed of an incompressible core coated with a thin compressible film. In theory, circumferential wrinkles with axial wavefronts may appear on the outer surface when the cylinder is stretched. We analyze these instabilities through modelling, numerics, finite element simulations, and controlled experiments. We show that the wrinkle amplitude and wavelength depend on the Poisson ratio of the coating and the ratio of the film and substrate shear moduli. We find that the lower the film's Poisson ratio, the earlier the wrinkles emerge under tension. This observation motivates us to use auxetic films (with negative Poisson ratios) with bespoke microstructures in the finite element simulations and the experiments. For the latter, we fabricated 3D-printed soft cylinders with stiff auxetic outer layers and subjected them to axial loading. Although simulations predicted clear wrinkle formation, experimental observation proved more elusive due to the small amplitude of the wrinkles.
