For every k ≥ 2 and n ≥ 2 we construct n pairwise homotopically inequivalent simply-connected, closed 4k-dimensional manifolds, all of which are stably diffeomorphic to one another. Each of these manifolds has hyperbolic intersection form and is stab... Read More about Simply-connected manifolds with large homotopy stable classes.

A minimal model of elastic instabilities in biological filament bundles (2022)
Journal Article

We present a model of a system of elastic fibres which exhibits complex, coupled, nonlinear deformations via a connecting elastic spring network. This model can capture physically observed deformations such as global buckling, pinching and internal c... Read More about A minimal model of elastic instabilities in biological filament bundles.

Hiding canonicalisation in tensor computer algebra (2022)
Preprint / Working Paper
Price, D., Peeters, K., & Zamaklar, M. (2022). Hiding canonicalisation in tensor computer algebra

Simplification of expressions in computer algebra systems often involves a step known as "canonicalisation", which reduces equivalent expressions to the same form. However, such forms may not be natural from the perspective of a pen-and-paper computa... Read More about Hiding canonicalisation in tensor computer algebra.

It has been argued that the entropy of de Sitter space corresponds to the entanglement between disconnected regions computable by switching on a replica parameter q modeled by the quotient dS/ℤq. Within this framework, we show that the centrally-exte... Read More about Logarithmic corrections, entanglement entropy, and UV cutoffs in de Sitter spacetime.

Second order phase transitions are universally driven by an order parameter which becomes trivial at the critical point. At the same time, collective excitations which involve the amplitude of the order parameter develop a gap which smoothly closes t... Read More about Higgs/amplitude mode dynamics from holography.
