Couplings between a collection of BF models and a set of three-form gauge fields
, 2007 Consistent interactions that can be added to a free, Abelian gauge theory comprising a collection of BF models and a set of three-form gauge fields are constructed from the deformation of the solution to the master equation based on specific ...

Shape identification method for specified deformed mode of free-form shells
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014 In this paper, we present a shape identification method of free-form shells for controlling the static deformation mode to the desired one. It is assumed that the shell is varied in the out-of-plane direction to the surface and the thickness is constant.

R-Symmetries and Curvature Constraints in A-Twisted Heterotic Landau–Ginzburg Models
Particles, 2023 In this paper, we discuss various aspects of a class of A-twisted heterotic Landau–Ginzburg models on a Kähler variety X. We provide a classification of the R-symmetries in these models which allow the A-twist to be implemented, focusing on the case in ...

Isotropic-Cholesteric Transition of a Weakly Chiral Elastomer Cylinder [PDF]
, 2008 When a chiral isotropic elastomer is brought to low temperature cholesteric phase, the nematic degree of freedom tends to order and form a helix. Due to the nemato-elastic coupling, this also leads to elastic deformation of the polymer network that is ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
