Job description

Offer DescriptionThe candidate will focus on
self-contact and self-interpenetration of matter for knotted elastic tubular solids by
developing suitable energy functionals or constraints. These, added to the energy
functional of the system (elastic energy or energy of different nature), must prevent self-
contact and self-interpenetration, in order to leave the solid in its starting isotopy class.
Moreover, he/she will study some mathematical properties of the above functionals,
which may be of non-local type, to establish existence results for minimal energy
configurations and will analyze the possible limit when the thickness of the solid vanishes,
as well as the connection between this theory in 3D and classical knot theoryRequirementsAdditional InformationEligibility criteriaEligible destination country/ies for fellows:
