On the structure of minimizers of causal variational principles in the non-compact and equivariant settings [PDF]
We derive the Euler-Lagrange equations for minimizers of causal variational principles in the non-compact setting with constraints, possibly prescribing symmetries.

Thermomechanical Variational Principles for Dissipative Materials with Application to Strain Localization in Bulk Metallic Glasses [PDF]
This thesis is concerned with variational principles for general coupled thermomechanical problems in dissipative materials including finite elastic and plastic deformation, non-Newtonian viscosity, rate sensitivity, arbitrary flow and hardening rule, as

Convexity and the Euclidean Metric of Space-Time
We address the reasons why the “Wick-rotated”, positive-definite, space-time metric obeys the Pythagorean theorem. An answer is proposed based on the convexity and smoothness properties of the functional spaces purporting to provide the kinematic ...

SPACE–TIME VARIATION OF PHYSICAL CONSTANTS AND THE EQUIVALENCE PRINCIPLE [PDF]
Location-dependence of physical parameters such as the electromagnetic fine structure constant and Newton's G produce body accelerations which violate universality of free fall rates testable with laboratory and space experiments. Theoretically related cosmological time variation of these same parameters are also constrained by experiments such as ...

First principles of consistent physics
For a consistent picture of fundamental physics and cosmology, three first principles are proposed as the foundations. That is, quantum variational principle that provides the formalism, consistent observation principle that set physical constraints and ...

Variational Methods for Nonsmooth Mechanics [PDF]
In this thesis we investigate nonsmooth classical and continuum mechanics and its discretizations by means of variational numerical and geometric methods.
