Critical behavior of collapsing surfaces
Kasper Olsen, Christos Sourdis
We consider the mean curvature evolution of rotationally symmetric surfaces. Using numerical methods, we detect critical behavior at the threshold of singularity formation resembli…

Dirichlet sigma models and mean curvature flow
I. Bakas, C. Sourdis
The mean curvature flow describes the parabolic deformation of embedded branes in Riemannian geometry driven by their extrinsic mean curvature vector, which is typically associated…

On the tensionless limit of gauged WZW models
I. Bakas, C. Sourdis
The tensionless limit of gauged WZW models arises when the level of the underlying Kac-Moody algebra assumes its critical value, equal to the dual Coxeter number, in which case the…
