Geometric-Chemical Distance Between Protein Surfaces
Himanshu Swami, John M. McBride, Jean-Pierre Eckmann +1
Proteins recognize, bind, and catalyze through molecular surfaces, where geometry and chemical patterning determine interaction. Comparing these surfaces requires both a geometric-…
Walks in Rotation Spaces Return Home when Doubled and Scaled
Jean-Pierre Eckmann, Tsvi Tlusty
The dynamics of numerous physical systems, such as spins and qubits, can be described as a series of rotation operations, i.e., walks in the manifold of the rotation group. A basic…
Tumbling Downhill along a Given Curve
Jean-Pierre Eckmann, Yaroslav I. Sobolev, Tsvi Tlusty
A cylinder will roll down an inclined plane in a straight line. A cone will roll around a circle on that plane and then will stop rolling. We ask the inverse question: For which cu…
Active self-disassembly enhances the yield of self-assembled structures
Karsten Kruse, Jean-Pierre Eckmann, Wilson C. K. Poon
We introduce a lattice model to probe the effect of active self-disassembly on equilibrium self-assembly. Surprisingly, we find conditions under which active self-disassembly enhan…
An Introduction to the Unpublished Book "Reflections on a Tube" by Mitchell J. Feigenbaum
Jean-Pierre Eckmann
This paper is an adaptation of the introduction to a book project by the late Mitchell J. Feigenbaum (1944-2019). While Feigenbaum is certainly mostly known for his theory of perio…
Abelian Sandpiles on Cylinders
Jean-Pierre Eckmann, Tatiana Nagnibeda, Aymeric Perriard
We study here a variant of the Abelian Sandpile Model, where the playground is a cylinder of width and of circumference c. When c << w, we describe a phenomenon which has not b…
