Propagation of Phonon in a Curved Space Induced by Strain Fields Instantons

D. Schmeltzer

We show that for a \textbf{multiple-connected} space the low energy strain fields excitations are given by instantons. Dirac fermions with a chiral mass and a pairing field propaga…

Velocity slip on curved surfaces

Weikang Chen, Rui Zhang, Joel Koplik

The Navier boundary condition for velocity slip on flat surfaces, when expressed in tensor form, is readily extended to surfaces of any shape. We test this assertion using molecula…
