In his PhD thesis, Einstein derived an explicit first-order expansion for the effective viscosity of a Stokes fluid with a random suspension of small rigid particles at low density. This formal derivation is based on two assumptions: (i) there is a scale separation between the size of particles and the observation scale, and (ii) particles do not interact with one another at first order. While the first assumption was addressed in a companion work in terms of homogenization theory, the second one is reputedly more subtle due to the long-range character of hydrodynamic interactions. In the present contribution, we provide a rigorous justification of Einsteins first-order expansion at low density in the most general setting. This is pursued to higher orders in form of a cluster expansion, where the summation of hydrodynamic interactions crucially requires suitable renormalizations, and we justify in particular a celebrated result by Batchelor and Green on the next-order correction. In addition, we address the summability of the cluster expansion in two specific settings (random deletion and geometric dilation of a fixed point set). Our approach relies on an intricate combination of combinatorial arguments, PDE analysis, and probability theory.

We consider a system of two coupled ordinary differential equations which appears as an envelope equation in Bose-Einstein Condensation. This system can be viewed as a nonlinear extension of the celebrated model introduced by Landau and Zener. We show how the nonlinear system may appear from different physical models. We focus our attention on the large time behavior of the solution. We show the existence of a nonlinear scattering operator, which is reminiscent of long range scattering for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation, and which can be compared with its linear counterpart.
In this paper, we study a free boundary problem for compressible spherically symmetric Navier-Stokes equations without a solid core. Under certain assumptions imposed on the initial data, we obtain the global existence and uniqueness of the weak solution, give some uniform bounds (with respect to time) of the solution and show that it converges to a stationary one as time tends to infinity. Moreover, we obtain the stabilization rate estimates of exponential type in $L^infty$-norm and weighted $H^1$-norm of the solution by constructing some Lyapunov functionals. The results show that such system is stable under the small perturbations, and could be applied to the astrophysics.
We consider the Steklov zeta function $zeta$ $Omega$ of a smooth bounded simply connected planar domain $Omega$ $subset$ R 2 of perimeter 2$pi$. We provide a first variation formula for $zeta$ $Omega$ under a smooth deformation of the domain. On the base of the formula, we prove that, for every s $in$ (--1, 0) $cup$ (0, 1), the difference $zeta$ $Omega$ (s) -- 2$zeta$ R (s) is non-negative and is equal to zero if and only if $Omega$ is a round disk ($zeta$ R is the classical Riemann zeta function). Our approach gives also an alternative proof of the inequality $zeta$ $Omega$ (s) -- 2$zeta$ R (s) $ge$ 0 for s $in$ (--$infty$, --1] $cup$ (1, $infty$); the latter fact was proved in our previous paper [2018] in a different way. We also provide an alternative proof of the equality $zeta$ $Omega$ (0) = 2$zeta$ R (0) obtained by Edward and Wu [1991].
In this paper we deal with two dimensional cubic Dirac equations appearing as effective model in gapped honeycomb structures. We give a formal derivation starting from cubic Schrodinger equations and prove the existence of standing waves bifurcating from one band-edge of the linear spectrum.
We prove a Koszul formula for the Levi-Civita connection for any pseudo-Riemannian bilinear metric on a class of centered bimodule of noncommutative one-forms. As an application to the Koszul formula, we show that our Levi-Civita connection is a bimodule connection. We construct a spectral triple on a fuzzy sphere and compute the scalar curvature for the Levi-Civita connection associated to a canonical metric.
