Mathematical and Physical Papers

Abstract: William Thomson, first Baron Kelvin (1824–1907), is best known for devising the Kelvin scale of absolute temperature and for his work on the first and second laws of thermodynamics, though throughout his 53-year career as a mathematical physicist and engineer at the University of Glasgow he investigated a wide range of scientific questions in areas ranging from geology to transatlantic telegraph cables. The extent of his work is revealed in the six volumes of his Mathematical and Physical Papers, published fro… Show more

“…The exploration of 2D point vortex dynamics is a fascinating topic with a rich history for over a century, starting, arguably, with the fundamental contribution of Lord Kelvin [1] and gradually progressing to the consideration of higher numbers of vortices (see e.g. [2,3]) and of not only symmetric but also of asymmetric equilibria thereof (see e.g.…”

“…Works in this direction raised long ago [17] [18] [19] [20], but in crystals these effects remained feebly expressed. Modern investigations use high pressures, created also by shock waves, generated in nuclear explosions [21].…”

“…Proof. Because of Theorem II.1 case (ii), it is sufficient to consider the stability of the steady state x k (t) = R exp (2πik/N ) of the aggregation equation (4). Consider small perturbations of this state, of the form…”

“…Their exploration has been a fascinating topic, garnering considerable attention starting from the fundamental contribution of Lord Kelvin [4], extending to their critical role in turbulent dynamics proposed by Onsager [5] and reaching up to more recent explorations in a diverse range of fields. The latter include (but are not limited to) patterns forming in rotating superfluid 4 He [6], electron columns confined in Malmberg-Penning traps [7] and even magnetized, millimeter sized disks rotating at a liquid-air interface [8]. Numerous theoretical advances have also been made by considering the ordinary differential equations (ODEs) describing the vortex particles.…”
