From discrete to continuum in the helical XY-model: emergence of chirality transitions in the to limit
Marco Cicalese, Dario Reggiani, Francesco Solombrino
We analyze the discrete-to-continuum limit of a frustrated ferromagnetic/anti-ferromagnetic -valued spin system on the lattice as . For $\…

Geometric rigidity for incompatible fields in the multi-well case and an application to strain-gradient plasticity
Stefano Almi, Dario Reggiani, Francesco Solombrino
We derive a quantitative rigidity estimate for a multi-well problem in nonlinear elasticity with dislocations. Precisely, we show that the -distance of a possibly incomp…

Lower semicontinuity and relaxation for free discontinuity functionals with non-standard growth
Stefano Almi, Dario Reggiani, Francesco Solombrino
A lower semicontinuity result and a relaxation formula for free discontinuity functionals with non-standard growth in the bulk energy are provided. Our analysis is based on a non-t…
