Along the way we obtain fractional dimensional ergodic properties of classical inner functions.Publicad
Totally umbilical disks and applications to surfaces in three-dimensional homogeneous spaces
Following [Ch] and [dCF], we give sufficient conditions for a disk type surface, with
piecewise smooth boundary, to be totally umbilical for a given Coddazi pair. As a consequence,
we obtain rigidity results for surfaces in space forms and in homogeneous product
spaces that generalizes some known results.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia MTM2007-65249Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia MTM2007-64504Junta de Andalucía P06-FQM-01642Junta de Andalucía FQM32
Quantum Dynamics on the Worldvolume from Classical su(n) Cohomology
A key symmetry of classical -branes is invariance under worldvolume
diffeomorphisms. Under the assumption that the worldvolume, at fixed values of
the time, is a compact, quantisable K\"ahler manifold, we prove that the Lie
algebra of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of the worldvolume can be
approximated by , for . We also prove, under the same
assumptions regarding the worldvolume at fixed time, that classical Nambu
brackets on the worldvolume are quantised by the multibrackets corresponding to
cocycles in the cohomology of the Lie algebra .Comment: This is a contribution to the Special Issue on Deformation

Hydrazones as Singular Reagents in Asymmetric Organocatalysis
This Minireview summarizes strategies and developments regarding the use of hydrazones as reagents in asymmetric organocatalysis, their distinct roles in nucleophile–electrophile, cycloaddition, and cyclization reactions. The key structural elements governing the reactivity of these reagents in a preferred pathway will be discussed, as well as their different interactions with organocatalysts, leading to diverse activation modes. Along these studies, the synthetic equivalence of N-monoalkyl, N,N-dialkyl, and N-acyl hydrazones with several synthons is also highlighted. Emphasis is also put on the mechanistic studies performed to understand the observed reactivities. Finally, the functional group transformations performed from the available products has also been analyzed, highlighting the synthetic value of these methodologies, which served to access numerous families of valuable multifunctional compounds and nitrogen-containing heterocycles.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad CTQ2013-48164-C2-1-P, CTQ201348164-C2-2-PEuropean FEDER fundsJunta de Andalucía 2012/FQM 107
Efficient numerical schemes for viscoplastic avalanches. Part 2: the 2D case
This paper deals with the numerical resolution of a shallow water viscoplastic flow model. Viscoplastic materials are characterized by the existence of a yield stress: below a certain critical threshold in the imposed stress, there is no deformation and the material behaves like a rigid solid, but when that yield value is exceeded, the material flows like a fluid. In the context of avalanches, it means that after going down a slope, the material can stop and its free surface has a non-trivial shape, as opposed to the case of water (Newtonian fluid). The model involves variational inequalities associated with the yield threshold: finite volume schemes are used together with duality methods (namely Augmented Lagrangian and Bermúdez–Moreno) to discretize the problem. To be able to accurately simulate the stopping behavior of the avalanche, new schemes need to be designed, involving the classical notion of well-balancing. In the present context, it needs to be extended to take into account the viscoplastic nature of the material as well as general bottoms with wet/dry fronts which are encountered in geophysical geometries. Here we derive such schemes in 2D as the follow up of the companion paper treating the 1D case. Numerical tests include in particular a generalized 2D benchmark for Bingham codes (the Bingham–Couette flow with two non-zero boundary conditions on the velocity) and a simulation of the avalanche path of Taconnaz in Chamonix—Mont-Blanc to show the usability of these schemes on real topographies from digital elevation models (DEM)
