Shape-programmed 3D printed swimming microtori for the transport of passive and active agents.
Through billions of years of evolution, microorganisms mastered unique swimming behaviors to thrive in complex fluid environments. Limitations in nanofabrication have thus far hindered the ability to design and program synthetic...

Symplectic topology of K3 surfaces via mirror symmetry
Nick Sheridan, Ivan Smith
Dec 04, 2019
We study the symplectic topology of certain K3 surfaces (including the "mirror quartic" and "mirror double plane"), equipped with certain K\"ahler forms. In particular, we prove that the symplectic Torelli group may...
Non-displaceable Lagrangian links in four-manifolds
Cheuk Yu Mak, Ivan Smith
Jun 04, 2021
Abstract: Let ω denote an area form on S2. Consider the closed symplectic 4-manifold M=(S2×S2, Aω⊕aω) with 0
Embedded tori with prescribed mean curvature

We construct a sequence of compact, oriented, embedded, two-dimensional surfaces of genus one into Euclidean 3-space with prescribed, almost constant, mean curvature of the form H(X)=1+A|X| −γ for |X| large, when...

Transformations in Body and Cuisine in Rural Yucatan, Mexico
Lauren Wynne
Jan 01, 0001
Many twentieth-century ethnographic accounts of the rural Yucatec Maya analyze the accruement of culinary knowledge as a crucial part of the process of socialization, by which children become adults (e.g., Gaskins 2003; Greene...

Extreme thermodynamics with polymer gel tori

When a swollen, thermoresponsive polymer gel is heated in a solvent bath, it expels solvent and deswells. When this heating is slow, deswelling proceeds homogeneously, as observed in a toroid-shaped gel that changes volume...
