Abstract The radiation of steady surface gravity waves by a uniform stream$$U_{0}$$ over locally confined (width$$L$$ ) smooth topography is analyzed based on potential flow theory. The linear solution to this classical problem is readily found by Fourier transforms, and the nonlinear response has been studied extensively by numerical methods. Here, an asymptotic analysis is made for subcritical flow$$D/\lambda > 1$$ in the low-Froude-number ($$F^{2} \equiv \lambda /L \ll 1$$ ) limit, where$$\lambda = U_{0}^{2} /g$$ is the lengthscale of radiating gravity waves and$$D$$ is the uniform water depth. In this regime, the downstream wave amplitude, although formally exponentially small with respect to$$F$$ , is determined by a fully nonlinear mechanism even for small topography amplitude. It is argued that this mechanism controls the wave response for a broad range of flow conditions, in contrast to linear theory which has very limited validity.

Positivity and Maximum Principle Preserving Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Schemes for a Coupled Flow and Transport
Abstract We introduce a new concept of the local flux conservation and investigate its role in the coupled flow and transports. We demonstrate how the proposed concept of the locally conservative flux can play a crucial role in obtaining the$$L^2$$ norm stability of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element scheme for the transport in the coupled system with flow. In particular, the lowest order discontinuous Galerkin finite element for the transport is shown to inherit the positivity and maximum principle when the locally conservative flux is used, which has been elusive for many years in literature. The theoretical results established in this paper are based on the equivalence between Lesaint-Raviart discontinuous Galerkin scheme and Brezzi-Marini-Süli discontinuous Galerkin scheme for the linear hyperbolic system as well as the relationship between the Lesaint-Raviart discontinuous Galerkin scheme and the characteristic method along the streamline. Sample numerical experiments have then been performed to justify our theoretical findings.

Abstract In this paper, we present counterexamples to maximal$$L^p$$ -regularity for a parabolic PDE. The example is a second-order operator in divergence form with space and time-dependent coefficients. It is well-known from Lions’ theory that such operators admit maximal$$L^2$$ -regularity on$$H^{-1}$$ under a coercivity condition on the coefficients, and without any regularity conditions in time and space. We show that in general one cannot expect maximal$$L^p$$ -regularity on$$H^{-1}(\mathbb {R}^d)$$ or$$L^2$$ -regularity on$$L^2(\mathbb {R}^d)$$ .more » « less

Abstract We prove that the Hilbert scheme ofkpoints on$${\mathbb {C}}^2$$ ($$\hbox {Hilb}^k[{\mathbb {C}}^2]$$ ) is self-dual under three-dimensional mirror symmetry using methods of geometry and integrability. Namely, we demonstrate that the corresponding quantum equivariant K-theory is invariant upon interchanging its Kähler and equivariant parameters as well as inverting the weight of the$${\mathbb {C}}^\times _\hbar $$ -action. First, we find a two-parameter family$$X_{k,l}$$ of self-mirror quiver varieties of type A and study their quantum K-theory algebras. The desired quantum K-theory of$$\hbox {Hilb}^k[{\mathbb {C}}^2]$$ is obtained via direct limit$$l\longrightarrow \infty $$ and by imposing certain periodic boundary conditions on the quiver data. Throughout the proof, we employ the quantum/classical (q-Langlands) correspondence between XXZ Bethe Ansatz equations and spaces of twisted$$\hbar $$ -opers. In the end, we propose the 3d mirror dual for the moduli spaces of torsion-free rank-Nsheaves on$${\mathbb {P}}^2$$ with the help of a different (three-parametric) family of type A quiver varieties with known mirror dual.more » « less

Abstract LetXbe a compact normal complex space of dimensionnandLbe a holomorphic line bundle onX. Suppose that$$\Sigma =(\Sigma _1,\ldots ,\Sigma _\ell )$$ is an$$\ell $$ -tuple of distinct irreducible proper analytic subsets ofX,$$\tau =(\tau _1,\ldots ,\tau _\ell )$$ is an$$\ell $$ -tuple of positive real numbers, and let$$H^0_0(X,L^p)$$ be the space of holomorphic sections of$$L^p:=L^{\otimes p}$$ that vanish to order at least$$\tau _jp$$ along$$\Sigma _j$$ ,$$1\le j\le \ell $$ . If$$Y\subset X$$ is an irreducible analytic subset of dimensionm, we consider the space$$H^0_0 (X|Y, L^p)$$ of holomorphic sections of$$L^p|_Y$$ that extend to global holomorphic sections in$$H^0_0(X,L^p)$$ . Assuming that the triplet$$(L,\Sigma ,\tau )$$ is big in the sense that$$\dim H^0_0(X,L^p)\sim p^n$$ , we give a general condition onYto ensure that$$\dim H^0_0(X|Y,L^p)\sim p^m$$ . WhenLis endowed with a continuous Hermitian metric, we show that the Fubini-Study currents of the spaces$$H^0_0(X|Y,L^p)$$ converge to a certain equilibrium current onY. We apply this to the study of the equidistribution of zeros inYof random holomorphic sections in$$H^0_0(X|Y,L^p)$$ as$$p\rightarrow \infty $$ .more » « less

Abstract The elliptic flow$$(v_2)$$ of$${\textrm{D}}^{0}$$ mesons from beauty-hadron decays (non-prompt$${\textrm{D}}^{0})$$ was measured in midcentral (30–50%) Pb–Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair$$\sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} = 5.02$$ TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The$${\textrm{D}}^{0}$$ mesons were reconstructed at midrapidity$$(|y|<0.8)$$ from their hadronic decay$$\mathrm {D^0 \rightarrow K^-\uppi ^+}$$ , in the transverse momentum interval$$2< p_{\textrm{T}} < 12$$ GeV/c. The result indicates a positive$$v_2$$ for non-prompt$${{\textrm{D}}^{0}}$$ mesons with a significance of 2.7$$\sigma $$ . The non-prompt$${{\textrm{D}}^{0}}$$ -meson$$v_2$$ is lower than that of prompt non-strange D mesons with 3.2$$\sigma $$ significance in$$2< p_\textrm{T} < 8~\textrm{GeV}/c$$ , and compatible with the$$v_2$$ of beauty-decay electrons. Theoretical calculations of beauty-quark transport in a hydrodynamically expanding medium describe the measurement within uncertainties.more » « less
