Dimensional Gravity

Two-dimensional (2-D) gravity–capillary solitary waves are generated using a moving pressure jet from a 2-D narrow slit as a forcing onto the surface of deep water. The forcing moves horizontally over the surface of the deep water at speeds close to the minimum phase speed $c_{min}=23~\text{cm}~\text{s}^{-1}$. Four different states are observed according to the forcing speed. At relatively low speeds below $c_{min}$, small-amplitude depressions are observed and they move steadily just below the moving forcing. As the forcing speed increases towards $c_{min}$, nonlinear 2-D gravity–capillary solitary waves are observed, and they move steadily behind the moving forcing. When the forcing speed is very close to $c_{min}$, periodic shedding of a 2-D local depression is observed behind the moving forcing. Finally, at relatively high speeds above $c_{min}$, a pair of short and long linear waves is observed, respectively ahead of and behind the moving forcing. In addition, we observe the transverse instability of free 2-D gravity–capillary solitary waves and, further, the resultant formation of three-dimensional gravity–capillary solitary waves. These experimental observations are compared with numerical results based on a model equation that admits gravity–capillary solitary wave solutions near $c_{min}$. They agree with each other very well. In particular, based on a linear stability analysis, we give a theoretical proof for the transverse instability of the 2-D gravity–capillary solitary waves on deep water.

Holographic Duality

Abstract We study the torus partition functions of free bosonic CFTs in two dimensions. Integrating over Narain moduli defines an ensemble-averaged free CFT. We calculate the averaged partition function and show that it can be reinterpreted as a sum over topologies in three dimensions. This result leads us to conjecture that an averaged free CFT in two dimensions is holographically dual to an exotic theory of three-dimensional gravity with U(1)c×U(1)c symmetry and a composite boundary graviton. Additionally, for small central charge c, we obtain general constraints on the spectral gap of free CFTs using the spinning modular bootstrap, construct examples of Narain compactifications with a large gap, and find an analytic bootstrap functional corresponding to a single self-dual boson.

Supercritical Flows

This article considers certain two-dimensional, irrotational, steady flows in fluid regions of finite depth and infinite horizontal extent. Geometrical information about these flows and their singularities is obtained, using a variant of a classical comparison principle. The results are applied to three types of problems: (i) supercritical solitary waves carrying planing surfaces or surfboards, (ii) supercritical flows past ship hulls and (iii) supercritical interfacial solitary waves in systems consisting of two immiscible fluids.

The Stability

We study the stability of positive radially symmetric solitary waves for a three dimensional generalisation of the Korteweg de Vries equation, which describes nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in a magnetised plasma, and for a generalisation in dimension two of the Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation.
