Cellular networks are ubiquitous in nature. Most technologically useful materials arise as polycrystalline microstructures, composed of a myriad of small crystallites, the grains, separated by interfaces, the grain boundaries. The coarsening of these networks is of obvious concern for applications and has been since pre-history. Any order in the...

Motivated by the dewetting of viscous thin films on hydrophobicsubstrates, we study models for the coarsening dynamics of interactinglocalized structures in one dimension.For the thin films problem, lubrication theoryyields a Cahn-Hilliard-type governing PDE which describes spinodal dewettingand the subsequent formation of arrays of metastable f...

Cobordisms have played an important role in the classification of manifolds ever since the 1950s. In a different way, they are fundamental to the mathematical formulation for topological quantum field theory. We will explain how recent results shed new light on both theories.

Ximera is a free, open-source platform for converting LaTeX documents into interactive webpages. The resulting pages include autograded homework problems with scores that sync back to LMS gradebooks. Instructors can watch their students working in real-time.The basic principle of Ximera's design is to leverage existing standards and code, e.g., ...
