Critical Casimir effect for colloids close to chemically patterned substrates
Colloids immersed in a critical or near-critical binary liquid mixture and close to a chemically patterned substrate are subject to normal and lateral critical Casimir forces of dominating strength.

Fatigue Life Prediction of Pump Head Materials Based on the Theory of Critical Distances
To study whether the critical distance theory can reasonably predict the fatigue life of a notched specimen, the finite element model for the chrome-nickel alloy notched specimen of a certain pump head material was established, and the linear elastic ...

A new proposal of effective stress and critical distance for fatigue at notches
The Theory of Critical Distance (TCD) and its associated methods have proved useful for predicting fatigue and fracture failure under stress gradients. This work reports the first analytical deduction of the effective stress and its critical distance in ...

Quantum corrections in 4d N = 1 infinite distance limits and the weak gravity conjecture
We study quantum corrections in four-dimensional theories with N = 1 supersymmetry in the context of Quantum Gravity Conjectures. According to the Emergent String Conjecture, infinite distance limits in quantum gravity either lead to decompactification ...

Bridging transitions for spheres and cylinders
We study bridging transitions between spherically and cylindrically shaped particles (colloids) of radius $R$ separated by a distance $H$ that are dissolved in a bulk fluid (solvent).

A new class of short distance universal amplitude ratios
We propose a new class of universal amplitude ratios which involve the first terms of the short distance expansion of the correlators of a statistical model in the vicinity of a critical point.

Correlation Functions of a Conformal Field Theory in Three Dimensions [PDF]
We derive explicit forms of the two--point correlation functions of the $O(N)$ non-linear sigma model at the critical point, in the large $N$ limit, on various three dimensional manifolds of constant curvature.

Static assessment of brittle/ductile notched materials: an engineering approach based on the Theory of Critical Distances [PDF]
Engineering components often contain notches, keyways or other stress concentration features. These features raise the stress state in the vicinity of their apex which can lead to unexpected failure of the component.

Optimal topological simplification of discrete functions on surfaces [PDF]
We solve the problem of minimizing the number of critical points among all functions on a surface within a prescribed distance {\delta} from a given input function.
