The geometry of rough, textured, fractured, and porous media is topologically complicated. Such are commonly modeled as bundles capillary tubes. However, angle-containing geometries can serve a more realistic portrayal their internal structure. A basic element inherent to all these an open wedge-like channel. classical theory capillarity ignoring intermolecular interactions implies that liquid ...

The level 1 highest weight modules of the quantum affine algebra Uq(ŝln) can be described as spaces of certain semi-infinite wedges. Using a q-antisymmetrization procedure, these semi-infinite wedges can be realized inside an infinite tensor product of evaluation modules. This realization gives rise to simple descriptions of vertex operators and (up to a scalar function) their compositions. 1 R...

The hydrodynamic problem of impact between a solid wedge and a liquid wedge is analysed. The liquid is assumed to be ideal and incompressible; gravity and surface tension effects are ignored. The flow generated by the impact is assumed to be irrotational and therefore can be described by the velocity potential theory. The solution procedure is based on the analytical derivation of the complexve...

Symmetry breaking surface fields give rise to nontrivial and long-ranged order parameter profiles for critical systems such as fluids, alloys or magnets confined to wedges. We discuss the properties of the corresponding universal scaling functions of the order parameter profile and the two-point correlation function and determine the critical exponents η and η ⊥ for the so-called normal transit...

Optical plasmon-polariton modes confined in both transverse dimensions to significantly less than a wavelength are exhibited in open waveguides structured as sharp metal wedges. The analysis reveals two distinctive modes corresponding to a localized mode on the wedge point and surface mode propagation on the abruptly bent interface. These predictions are accompanied by unique field distribution...
