Capillary ripples in thin films reflect the fluid’s response to surface tension and viscous forces. We study ripple formation in Newtonian, viscoplastic, and odd viscous fluids at the contact line of a droplet spreading on a prewetted surface. We report: (1) a critical ... Read more

In this joint work with Xingzhe Li, we prove the strong Morse inequalities for the area functional in the space of embedded tori and spheres in the three sphere. As a consequence, we prove that in the three dimensional sphere with positive Ricci curvature, there exist at least ... Read more

The mammalian ear has a remarkable ability to distinguish sounds that differ only slightly in frequency, while at the same time amplifying these signals so that they can be converted into neural impulses. This phenomenon is commonly attributed to some form of mechanical ... Read more

This will be an introduction to the single- and double-dimer models, which arise in many places in mathematics (including in equivariant localization calculations of enumerative invariants). Read more
