Nuts and bolts of supersymmetry
Nitin Upadhyaya, Bryan Gin-ge Chen, Vincenzo Vitelli
A topological mechanism is a zero elastic-energy deformation of a mechanical structure that is robust against smooth changes in system parameters. Here, we map the nonlinear elasti…
Topological modes bound to dislocations in mechanical metamaterials
Jayson Paulose, Bryan Gin-ge Chen, Vincenzo Vitelli
Mechanical metamaterials are artificial structures with unusual properties, such as negative Poisson ratio, bistability or tunable vibrational properties, that originate in the geo…
Nonlinear conduction via solitons in a topological mechanical insulator
Bryan Gin-ge Chen, Nitin Upadhyaya, Vincenzo Vitelli
Networks of rigid bars connected by joints, termed linkages, provide a minimal framework to design robotic arms and mechanical metamaterials built out of folding components. Here,…
Geometrical detection of weak non-Gaussianity upon coarse-graining
T. H. Beuman, A. M. Turner, V. Vitelli
Measures of the non-Gaussianity of a random field depend on how accurately one is able to measure the field. If a signal measured at a certain point is to be averaged with its surr…
Crystals and liquid crystals confined to curved geometries
Vinzenz Koning, Vincenzo Vitelli
This review introduces the elasticity theory of two-dimensional crystals and nematic liquid crystals on curved surfaces, the energetics of topological defects (disclinations, dislo…
Emergent spatial structures in flocking models: a dynamical system insight
Jean-Baptiste Caussin, Alexandre Solon, Anton Peshkov +5
We show that hydrodynamic theories of polar active matter generically possess inhomogeneous traveling solutions. We introduce a unifying dynamical-system framework to establish the…
