Nonmonotonic effects of parallel sidewalls on Casimir forces between cylinders
Sahand Jamal Rahi, Alejandro W. Rodriguez, Thorsten Emig +3
We analyze the Casimir force between two parallel infinite metal cylinders, with nearby metal plates (sidewalls), using complementary methods for mutual confirmation. The attractiv…
Defects in nematic membranes can buckle into pseudospheres
John R. Frank, Mehran Kardar
A nematic membrane is a sheet with embedded orientational order, which can occur in biological cells, liquid crystal films, manufactured materials, and other soft matter systems. B…
Casimir Forces between Compact Objects: I. The Scalar Case
T. Emig, N. Graham, R. L. Jaffe +1
We have developed an exact, general method to compute Casimir interactions between a finite number of compact objects of arbitrary shape and separation. Here, we present details of…
Casimir forces between arbitrary compact objects
T. Emig, N. Graham, R. L. Jaffe +1
We develop an exact method for computing the Casimir energy between arbitrary compact objects, either dielectrics or perfect conductors. The energy is obtained as an interaction be…
Fractional Laplacian in Bounded Domains
A. Zoia, A. Rosso, M. Kardar
The fractional Laplacian operator, , appears in a wide class of physical systems, including Lévy flights and stochastic interfaces. In this paper, we pro…
First passage times and distances along critical curves
A. Zoia, Y. Kantor, M. Kardar
We propose a model for anomalous transport in inhomogeneous environments, such as fractured rocks, in which particles move only along pre-existing self-similar curves (cracks). The…
