We develop a general framework for the description of instabilities on soap films using the Bjorling representation of minimal surfaces. The construction is naturally geometric and the instability has the interpretation as being specified by its amplitude and transverse gradient along any curve lying in the minimal surface. When the amplitude vanishes, the curve forms part of the boundary to a critically stable domain, while when the gradient vanishes the Jacobi field is maximal along the curve. In the latter case, we show that the Jacobi field is maximally localised if its amplitude is taken to be the lowest eigenfunction of a one-dimensional Schrodinger operator. We present examples for the helicoid, catenoid, circular helicoids and planar Enneper minimal surfaces, and emphasise that the geometric nature of the Bjorling representation allows direct connection with instabilities observed in soap films.

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional complete simply connected Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded above by a nonpositive constant $-kappa^2$. Using the cone total curvature $TC(Gamma)$ of a graph $Gamma$ which was introduced by Gulliver an
d Yamada Math. Z. 2006, we prove that the density at any point of a soap film-like surface $Sigma$ spanning a graph $Gamma subset M$ is less than or equal to $frac{1}{2pi}{TC(Gamma) - kappa^{2}area(pmbox{$timeshspace*{-0.178cm}times$}Gamma)}$. From this density estimate we obtain the regularity theorems for soap film-like surfaces spanning graphs with small total curvature. In particular, when $n=3$, this density estimate implies that if begin{eqnarray*} TC(Gamma) < 3.649pi + kappa^2 inf_{pin M} area({pmbox{$timeshspace*{-0.178cm}times$}Gamma}), end{eqnarray*} then the only possible singularities of a piecewise smooth $(mathbf{M},0,delta)$-minimizing set $Sigma$ is the $Y$-singularity cone. In a manifold with sectional curvature bounded above by $b^2$ and diameter bounded by $pi/b$, we obtain similar results for any soap film-like surfaces spanning a graph with the corresponding bound on cone total curvature.
We introduce a simple two region model where the diffusion constant in a small region around each step on a vicinal surface can differ from that found on the terraces. Steady state results for this model provide a physically suggestive mapping onto k
inetic coefficients in the conventional sharp-step model, with a negative coefficient arising from faster diffusion in the step region. A linear stability analysis of the resulting sharp-step model provides a unified and simple interpretation of many experimental results for current-induced step bunching and wandering instabilities on both Si(111) and Si(001) surfaces.
In this paper we consider the two-loop calculation of the disjoining pressure of a symmetric electrolytic soap film. We show that the disjoining pressure is finite when the loop expansion is resummed using a cumulant expansion and requires no short d
istance cut-off. The loop expansion is resummed in terms of an expansion in g=l_B/l_D where l_D is the Debye length and l_B is the Bjerrum length. We show that there there is a non-analytic contribution of order g*ln(g). We also show that the two-loop correction is greater than the one-loop term at large film thicknesses suggesting a non-perturbative correction to the one-loop result in this limit.
This paper describes the work of Jesse Douglas on the Plateau problem, work for which he was awarded a Fields Medal in 1936, and considers the contributions Tibor Rado made in the 1930s.
Artists, using an empirical knowledge, manage to generate and play with giant soap films and bubbles. Until now, scientific studies of soap films generated at a controlled velocity and without any feeding from the top, studied films of a few square c
entimeters. The present work aims to present a new setup to generate and characterize giant soap films (2~m $times$ 0.7~m). Our setup is enclosed in a humidity-controlled box of 2.2~m high, 1~m long and 0.75~m large. Soap films are entrained by a fishing line withdrawn out of a bubbling solution at various velocities. We measure the maximum height of the generated soap films, as well as their lifetime, thanks to an automatic detection. This is allowed by light-sensitive resistors collecting the light reflected on the soap films and ensures robust statistical measurements. In the meantime, thickness measurements are performed with a UV-VIS-spectrometer, allowing us to map the soap films thickness over time.
