Existence of minimizers for the d stationary Griffith fracture model
Sergio Conti, Matteo Focardi, Flaviana Iurlano
We consider the variational formulation of the Griffith fracture model in two spatial dimensions and prove existence of strong minimizers, that is deformation fields which are cont…

Branched Microstructures in the Ginzburg-Landau Model of Type-I Superconductors
Sergio Conti, Felix Otto, Sylvia Serfaty
We consider the Ginzburg-Landau energy for a type-I superconductor in the shape of an infinite three-dimensional slab, with two-dimensional periodicity, with an applied magnetic fi…

Bosonization of the two-dimensional electron gas in the lowest Landau level
S. Conti, G. Vignale
We develop a bosonization scheme for the collective dynamics of a spinless two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in the lowest Landau level. The system is treated as a continuous ela…
