Paper cuts are a minor nuisance, but they can lead to life-threatening microbial infections. The physical processes that determine whether paper cuts into the skin, however, remain poorly understood. To explore skin-paper interactions, we designed an experiment in which a piece of paper contacts an artificial finger made from ballistic gelatin. Our experiments suggest that the paper thickness is one of the most important parameters in determining cutting efficacy. A relatively thin sheet often buckles before cutting is initiated, whereas the predominant interaction with thick sheets is indentation. Our preliminary data indicate that a successful paper cut is physically impossible outside a relatively narrow range of thicknesses for a given angle. Finally, the optimal paper cut is explored, and the influence of skin properties and cutting angle is discussed.

Controlling the spontaneous ruptures of nanoscale liquid thin films is crucial to various applications such as solar cell manufacturing. Over the past few decades, theoretical work based on the long-wave theory of thin liquid films has successfully identified a critical film height, below which the surface nanowaves become linearly unstable, leading to spontaneous rupture. This dewetting in the ‘spinodal regime’ has been repeatedly confirmed in experiments using atomic force microscopy on polymer films. However, ruptures are also observed for thicker films (linearly stable) in a different manner. It is believed that the random (Brownian) movement of particles is the cause of dewetting in this ‘thermal regime’ but the theoretical framework predicting the rupture is missing. In this talk, we present a theory to account for the rupture of a two dimensional linearly stable thin film by utilizing fluctuating hydrodynamics and rare events theory. By modelling the film dynamics with the stochastic thin-film equation (STF) and solving it numerically, we observe rupture in the linearly stable thermal regime and record the average waiting time for rupture. We show that the STF can be rearranged into the form of a gradient flow, which allows us to apply Kramer’s law from the rare events theory to obtain a theoretical prediction of the average waiting time. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are also performed and we find good agreements between the numerics, the prediction, and the MD.

Abstract: 

In this joint work in progress with Helge Ruddat and Bernd Siebert, we employ a particular type of Log Smooth Degeneration (LSD) to study the Geometry of Enumerative Mirror Symmetry (GEMS).
 
Mirror Symmetry is a broad conjecture that predicts that symplectic invariants of a K?hler manifold correspond to algebro-geometric invariants of a mirror-dual complex algebraic variety. This is generally proven by computing both sides.
 
In this work, we take the first steps towards a full enumerative correspondence that canonically identifies the invariants of both sides. To do so, we employ the Intrinsic Mirror Construction of Gross-Siebert. Then the enumerative correspondence passes through an intermediary tropical manifold and tropical invariants thereof.
 
I will start by briefly describing the string theory origins of mirror symmetry (Candelas-de la Ossa-Green-Parkes) followed by a brief description of the computational solution to the physics prediction (Givental Mirror Symmetry). Then I will outline our program which puts the physics intuition on firm ground and takes the first steps towards showing that Enumerative Mirror Symmetry follows from the geometric dualities of the Intrinsic Mirror Construction.
