In this paper, we apply the statefinder diagnostic to the cosmology with the Abnormally Weighting Energy hypothesis (AWE cosmology), in which dark energy in the observational (ordinary matter) frame results from the violation of weak equivalence principle (WEP) by pressureless matter. It is found that there exist closed loops in the statefinder plane, which

The International Lattice Datagrid (ILDG) is a federation of several regional grids. Since most of these grids have reached production level, an increasing number of lattice scientists start to benefit from this new research infrastructure. The ILDG Middleware Working Group has the task of specifying the ILDG middleware such that interoperability among the d

We prove that every connected triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices contains an induced tree on $\exp(c\sqrt{\log n})$ vertices, where $c$ is a positive constant. The best known upper bound is $(2+o(1))\sqrt n$. This partially answers questions of Erdos, Saks, and Sos and of Pultr.

We use the UV-optical color magnitude diagram in combination with spectroscopic and photometric measurements derived from the SDSS spectroscopic sample to measure the distribution of galaxies in the local universe (z<0.25) and their physical properties as a function of specific star formation rate (SSFR) and stellar mass. Throughout this study our emphasis i

The Chern-Simons-type term in the photon sector of the Lorentz- and CPT-breaking minimal Standard-Model Extension (mSME) is considered. It is argued that under certain circumstances this term can be removed from the mSME. In particular, it is demonstrated that for lightlike Lorentz violation a field redefinition exists that maps the on-shell free Chern-Simon

The galaxy cluster RX J1347-1145 is one of the most X-ray luminous and most massive clusters known. Its extreme mass makes it a prime target for studying issues addressing cluster formation and cosmology. In this paper we present new high-resolution HST/ACS and Chandra X-ray data. The high resolution and sensitivity of ACS enabled us to detect and quantify s

Partitions of [n]={1,2,...,n} into sets of lists are counted by sequence number A000262 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. They are somewhat less numerous than partitions of [n] into lists of sets, A000670. Here we observe that the former are actually equinumerous with partitions of [n] into lists of *noncrossing* sets and give a bijective pro

We show that the quantum Fisher information provides a sufficient condition to recognize multi-particle entanglement in a $N$ qubit state. The same criterion gives a necessary and sufficient condition for sub shot-noise phase sensitivity in the estimation of a collective rotation angle $θ$. The analysis therefore singles out the class of entangled states whi

This work discusses combinatorial and arithmetic aspects of cohomology vanishing for divisorial sheaves on toric varieties. We obtain a refined variant of the Kawamata-Viehweg theorem which is slightly stronger. Moreover, we prove a new vanishing theorem related to divisors whose inverse is nef and has small Kodaira dimension. Finally, we give a new criterio

Let $(\A, α)$ and $(\B, β)$ be C*-dynamical systems and assume that $\A$ is a separable simple C*-algebra and that $α$ and $β$ are *-automorphisms. Then the semicrossed products $\A \times_α \bbZ^{+}$ and $\B \times_β \bbZ^{+}$ are isometrically isomorphic if and only if the dynamical systems $(\A, α)$ and $(\B, β)$ are outer conjugate.

We study the ground state phases of Bose-Fermi mixtures in one-dimensional optical lattices with quantum Monte Carlo simulations using the Canonical Worm algorithm. Depending on the filling of bosons and fermions, and the on-site intra- and inter-species interaction, different kinds of incompressible and superfluid phases appear. On the compressible side, co

We propose an extension of the standard model with a B-L global symmetry that is broken softly at the TeV scale. The neutrinos acquire masses through a type-II seesaw while the lepton (L) asymmetry arises in the {\it singlet sector} but without B-L violation. The model has the virtue that the scale of L-number violation ($Λ$) giving rise to neutrino masses i

We investigate the spatial correlation properties of the solar wind using simultaneous observations by the ACE and WIND spacecraft. We use mutual information as a nonlinear measure of correlation and compare this to linear correlation. We find that the correlation lengthscales of fluctuations in density and magnetic field magnitude vary strongly with the sol

The fuzzball proposal says that the information of the black hole state is distributed throughout the interior of the horizon in a `quantum fuzz&#39;. There are special microstates where in the dual CFT we have `many excitations in the same state&#39;; these are described by regular classical geometries without horizons.

An interesting type of spin chain has appeared in the context of the planar AdS/CFT correspondence: It is based on an integrable nearest-neighbor spin chain, and it is perturbatively deformed by long-range interactions which apparently preserve the integrable structure. Similar models can be constructed by demanding the existence of merely one conserved loca

Jet-induced supernovae (SNe) have been suggested to occur in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and highly-energetic SNe (hypernovae). I investigate hydrodynamical and nucleosynthetic properties of the jet-induced explosion of a population III $40_\odot$ star with a two-dimensional special relativistic hydrodynamical code. The abundance distribution after the explosion

Sterile neutrino with mass of several keV can be the cosmological dark matter, can explain the observed velocities of pulsars, and can play an important role in the formation of the first stars. We describe the production of sterile neutrinos in a model with an extended Higgs sector, in which the Majorana mass term is generated by the vacuum expectation valu

In this paper we prove an analogue of the McKay correspondence for Landau-Ginzburg models. Our proof is based on the ideas introduced by T. Bridgeland, A. King and M. Reid, which reformulate and generalize the McKay correspondence in the language of derived categories, along with the techniques introduced by J.-C. Chen.

The transparent Sun is modeled as a spherically symmetric and centrally condensed gravitational lens using recent Standard Solar Model (SSM) data. The Sun&#39;s minimum focal length is computed to a refined accuracy of 23.5 +/- 0.1 AU, just beyond the orbit of Uranus. The Sun creates a single image of a distant point source visible to observers inside this m

At present, MAJORANA is a research and development (R&D) project to investigate the feasibility and cost of constructing and operating a one ton decay experiment with ~1000 kg of Ge detectors fabricated from germanium enriched to 86% in . The study will include three separate cryostats with various types of detectors: un-segmented, un-segmented point-contact

The beam spin asymmetries in the hard exclusive electroproduction of photons on the proton (ep -> epg) were measured over a wide kinematic range and with high statistical accuracy. These asymmetries result from the interference of the Bethe-Heitler process and of deeply virtual Compton scattering. Over the whole kinematic range (x_B from 0.11 to 0.58, Q^2 fr

The mean-field thermodynamic limit is studied for a class of isolated Newtonian N-body systems whose Hamiltonian admits several invariants of motion. It is shown that the macrostates of individual members of a statistical equilibrium ensemble are not necessarily themselves in a state of global thermal equilibrium in the strict sense. Yet they are always loca

A new derivation is given of Branson&#39;s factorization formula for the conformally invariant operator on the sphere whose principal part is the k-th power of the scalar Laplacian. The derivation deduces Branson&#39;s formula from knowledge of the corresponding conformally invariant operator on Euclidean space (the k-th power of the Euclidean Laplacian) via

Sparticle landscapes in mSUGRA, in SUGRA models with nonuniversalities (NUSUGRA), and in D brane models are analyzed. The analysis exhibits the existence of Higgs Mass Patterns (HPs) (for $μ>0$) where the CP odd Higgs could be the next heavier particle beyond the LSP and sometimes even lighter than the LSP. It is shown that the Higgs production cross section

We present a theoretical model for Type Ib supernova (SN) 2006jc. We calculate the evolution of the progenitor star, hydrodynamics and nucleosynthesis of the SN explosion, and the SN bolometric light curve (LC). The synthetic bolometric LC is compared with the observed bolometric LC constructed by integrating the UV, optical, near-infrared (NIR), and mid-inf

We show that there are significant conceptual differences between QM and QFT which make it difficult to view the latter as just a relativistic extension of the principles of QM. At the root of this is a fundamental distinction between Born-localization in QM (which in the relativistic context changes its name to Newton-Wigner localization) and modular locali

Two variable $Λ$ models, viz. $Λ\sim (\dot a/a)^2$ and $Λ\sim ρ$ have been studied under the assumption that the equation of state parameter $ω$ is a function of time. The selected $Λ$ models are found to be equivalent both in four and five dimensions. The possibility of signature flip of the deceleration parameter is also shown.

We explain the theory behind our fiber-optical analogue of the event horizon and present the experiment in detail.

Thomas G. Philbin, Chris Kuklewicz, Scott Robertson, Stephen Hill

The physics at the event horizon resembles the behavior of waves in moving media. Horizons are formed where the local speed of the medium exceeds the wave velocity. We use ultrashort pulses in microstructured optical fibers to demonstrate the formation of an artificial event horizon in optics. We observed a classical optical effect, the blue-shifting of ligh

Chandra&#39;s high resolution observations of radio galaxies require a revisit of the relevant electron acceleration processes. Although the diffusive shock particle acceleration model may explain spectra of spatially unresolved sources, it encounters difficulties in explaining the structure and spectral properties of recently discovered Chandra X-ray featur

Cognitive radios have been studied recently as a means to utilize spectrum in a more efficient manner. This paper focuses on the fundamental limits of operation of a MIMO cognitive radio network with a single licensed user and a single cognitive user. The channel setting is equivalent to an interference channel with degraded message sets (with the cognitive

Millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations reported in three neutron-star low mass X-ray binaries have been suggested to be a mode of marginally stable nuclear burning on the neutron star surface. In this Letter, we show that close to the transition between the island and the banana state, 4U~1636--53 shows mHz QPOs whose frequency systematically decreases with

The contribution of exclusive radiative tail to the cross section of semi-inclusive hadron leptoproduction has been calculated exactly for the first time. Although the experience of inclusive data analyses suggests us that the contribution of radiative tail from the elastic peak is of particular importance, similar effects in the semi-inclusive process were

We identify the auxiliary fields in the hypermultiplets of type IIB string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold, using a combination of worldsheet and supergravity techniques. The SUSY-breaking squark and gaugino masses in type IIB models depend on these auxiliary fields, which parametrize deformations away from a pure Calabi-Yau compactification to

In a recent paper [ F. Wang and F. Y. Wu, Phys. Rev. E 75 (2007) 040105(R) ] we reported exact results on the enumeration of close-packed dimers on an infinite kagome lattice. We computed the per-dimer free energy using both the Pfaffian approach and a vertex-model formulation, and found the result given by a simple expression. We also reported results on di

Feedback flashing ratchets are thermal rectifiers that use information on the state of the system to operate the switching on and off of a periodic potential. They can induce directed transport even with symmetric potentials thanks to the asymmetry of the feedback protocol. We investigate here the dynamics of a feedback flashing ratchet when the asymmetry of

Two-dimensional superintegrable systems with one third order and one lower order integral of motion are reviewed. The fact that Hamiltonian systems with higher order integrals of motion are not the same in classical and quantum mechanics is stressed. New results on the use of classical and quantum third order integrals are presented in Section 5 and 6.

For Finsler spaces (M,F) endowed with m-th root metrics, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions in which they are projectively flat, or projectively related to Berwald/Riemann spaces. We also give a specific characterization for m-th root metrics spaces of Landsberg and of Berwald type.

In this paper we study finite interaction range corrections to the mosaic picture of the glass transition as emerges from the study of the Kac limit of large interaction range for disordered models. To this aim we consider point to set correlation functions, or overlaps, in a one dimensional random energy model as a function of the range of interaction. In t

Experiments with thin ZnS(Ag) scintillators provide evidence with C.L. > 99.99% for the existence of DArk Electric Matter Objects - daemons (presumably negatively charged Planckian particles with M ~ 10^-5 g) captured from the Galactic disk into near-Earth, almost circular heliocentric orbits. Their flux at V ~ 10-15 km/s was found to be as high as f > 10^-7

We investigate AdS/QCD duality for the two-point correlation function of the lowest dimension scalar glueball operator, in the case of the IR soft wall model. We point out the role of the boundary conditions for the bulk-to-boundary propagator in determining the gluon condensates. We show that a low energy QCD theorem can be obtained within the AdS approach,

We examine the pattern of soft supersymmetry breaking terms in moduli stabilization, where an uplifting potential is provided by spontaneously broken supersymmetry in a generic sequestered sector. From stationary conditions, we derive the relation between moduli F-term vacuum expectation values which does not depend on the details of sequestered uplifting. T

Ontological theories of quantum mechanics describe a single system by means of well-defined classical variables and attribute the quantum uncertainties to our ignorance about the underlying reality represented by these variables. We consider the general class of ontological theories describing a quantum system by a set of variables with Markovian (either det

The conversion of positive-frequency waves into negative-frequency waves at the event horizon is the mechanism at the heart of the Hawking radiation of black holes. In black-hole analogues, horizons are formed for waves propagating in a medium against the current when and where the flow exceeds the wave velocity. We report on the first direct observation of

Control and bribery are settings in which an external agent seeks to influence the outcome of an election. Faliszewski et al.

3-quasi-Sasakian manifolds were recently studied by the authors as a suitable setting unifying 3-Sasakian and 3-cosymplectic geometries. In this paper some geometric properties of this class of almost 3-contact metric manifolds are briefly reviewed, with an emphasis on those more related to physical applications.

An overview is presented on the program to study the nucleon structure at the 12 GeV JLab upgrade using the CLAS12 detector. The focus is on deeply virtual exclusive processes to access the generalized parton distributions, semni-inclusive processes to study transverse momentum dependent distribution functions, and inclusive spin structure functions and reso

Recently proposed idea of unparticles arising due to a scale invariant sector in the theory can give rise to effective operators with different Lorentz structures. We show that by using the different polarization options at the future linear e+e- colliders, the nature of these effective operators can be easily understood. The unique feature of a complex phas

The aim of this paper is to collect some facts about the blowup of Jang&#39;s equation. First, we discuss how to construct solutions that blow up at an outermost MOTS. Second, we exclude the possibility that there are extra blowup surfaces in data sets with non-positive mean curvature. Then we investigate the rate of convergence of the blowup to a cylinder n

Buan, Marsh and Reiten proved that if a cluster-tilting object $T$ in a cluster category $\mathcal C$ associated to an acyclic quiver $Q$ satisfies certain conditions with respect to the exchange pairs in $\mathcal C$, then the denominator in its reduced form of every cluster variable in the cluster algebra associated to $Q$ has exponents given by the dimens

Let K be an algebraically closed field. For a finitely generated graded K algebra R, let cmdef R := dim R - depth R denote the Cohen-Macaulay-defect of R. Let G be a linear algebraic group over K that is reductive but not linearly reductive. We show that there exists a faithful rational representation V of G (which we will give explicitly) such that cmdef K[

Considering analyticity, unitarity and an influence of coupled channels, experimental data on the isovector P-wave of pion-pion scattering was analyzed to study rho-like mesons below 1900 MeV. The analysis indicates evidently that in the energy range 1200--1800 MeV, there are three rho-like mesons: rho(1250), rho(1450) and rho(1600), unlike the PDG tables. T

We investigate the theoretical stability of the predictions of tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing with respect to third family wave-function corrections. Such third family wave-function corrections can arise from either the canonical normalisation of the kinetic terms or renormalisation group running effects. At leading order both sorts of corrections can be subs

In this paper is discussed an application of signed measures (charges) to description of segment and chord length distributions in nonconvex bodies. The signed distribution may naturally appears due to definition via derivatives of nonnegative autocorrelation function simply related with distances distribution between pairs of points in the body.

We compute the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the six most important event shape variables related to three-particle final states in electron-positron annihilation. The corrections are sizeable for all variables, however their magnitude is substantially different for different observables. We observe that the NNLO corrections yield a

By studying fluctuations in the electrostatic potential of a single electrode immersed in a cold plasma, we were able to perform in situ electron spectroscopy. Electron exchange processes that occur at the surface of the electrode were triggered by the surface Auger process either using metastable molecular nitrogen or triplet helium at ambient conditions.

The beam spin asymmetry (BSA) in the exclusive reaction ep->ep pi0 was measured with the CEBAF 5.77 GeV polarized electron beam and Large Acceptance Spectrometer(CLAS). The xB, Q2, t and phi dependences of the pi0 BSA are presented in the deep inelastic regime. The asymmetries are fitted with a sin(phi) function and their amplitudes are extracted. Overall, t

The stationary phase method is often employed for computing tunneling {\em phase} times of analytically-continuous {\em gaussian} or infinite-bandwidth step pulses which collide with a potential barrier. The indiscriminate utilization of this method without considering the barrier boundary effects leads to some misconceptions in the interpretation of the pha

The physical properties of arbitrary half-integer spins F = N - 1/2 fermionic cold atoms loaded into a one-dimensional optical lattice are investigated by means of a conformal field theory approach. We show that for attractive interactions two different superfluid phases emerge for F \ge 3/2: A BCS pairing phase, and a molecular superfluid phase which is for

By means of an adapted mean-field expansion for large fillings $n\gg1$, we study the evolution of quantum fluctuations in the time-dependent Bose-Hubbard model, starting in the superfluid state and approaching the Mott phase by decreasing the tunneling rate or increasing the interaction strength in time. For experimentally relevant cases, we derive analytica

In 1991 Llibre and MacKay proved that if $f$ is a 2-torus homeomorphism isotopic to identity and the rotation set of $f$ has a non empty interior then $f$ has positive topological entropy. Here, we give a converselike theorem. We show that the interior of the rotation set of a 2-torus $C^{1+ α}$ diffeomorphism isotopic to identity of positive topological ent

We study effects of kinetic helicity fluctuations in a turbulence with large-scale shear using two different approaches: the spectral tau-approximation and the second order correlation approximation (or first-order smoothing approximation). These two approaches demonstrate that homogeneous kinetic helicity fluctuations alone with zero mean value in a sheared

We determine the hard-loop resummed propagator in an anisotropic QCD plasma in general covariant gauges and define a potential between heavy quarks from the Fourier transform of its static limit. We find that there is stronger attraction on distance scales on the order of the inverse Debye mass for quark pairs aligned along the direction of anisotropy than f

In this work we investigate lump-like solutions in models described by a single real scalar field. We start considering non-topological solutions with the usual lump-like form, and then we study other models, where the bell-shape profile may have varying amplitude and width, or develop a flat plateau at its top, or even induce a lump on top of another lump.

In relativistic quantum mechanics wave functions of particles satisfy field equations that have initial data on a space--like hypersurface. We propose a dual field theory of ``wavicles&#39;&#39; that have their initial data on a time--like worldline.

Estimates of the neutrino-nucleus cross section, for the charged-current process nu+208Pb-> e+208Bi, are presented. The nuclear structure calculations have been performed by considering bound, resonant, and continuum states in the single-particle basis used to construct correlated proton-particle neutron-hole configurations. The observed features of the spec

The analytical result for the six-photon helicity amplitudes in scalar QED is presented. To compute the loop, a recently developed method based on multiple cuts is used. The amplitudes for QED and $QED^{\caln=1}$ are also derived using the supersymmetric decomposition linking the three theories.

The optical implementation of the recently proposed unambiguous identification of coherent states is presented. Our system works as a programmable discriminator between two, in general non-orthogonal weak coherent states. The principle of operation lies in the interference of three light beams - two program states and one unknown coherent state which can be

In [Proc. Roy. Soc. London Ser. A 453 (1997), no. 1962, 1411-1443] A.S. Fokas introduced a novel method for solving a large class of boundary value problems associated with evolution equations. This approach relies on the construction of a so-called global relation: an integral expression that couples initial and boundary data. The global relation can be fou

We focus on the problem of how wealth is distributed among the units of a networked economic system. We first review the empirical results documenting that in many economies the wealth distribution is described by a combination of log--normal and power--law behaviours. We then focus on the Bouchaud--Mézard model of wealth exchange, describing an economy of i

Experimental searches for modifications of vector mesons in the nuclear medium are reviewed. Data on $ρ,ω$ and $Φ$ mesons are presented. The results have been obtained in elementary reactions with proton and photon beams as well as in heavy-ion collisions.

We study the mathematical theory of quantum resonances in the standard model of non-relativistic QED and in Nelson&#39;s model. In particular, we estimate the survival probability of metastable states corresponding to quantum resonances and relate the resonances to poles of an analytic continuation of matrix elements of the resolvent of the quantum Hamiltoni

In this paper, several proposals of optically simulating Yang-Baxter equations have been presented. Motivated by the recent development of anyon theory, we apply Temperley-Lieb algebra as a bridge to recast four-dimentional Yang-Baxter equation into its two-dimensional counterpart. In accordance with both representations, we find the corresponding linear-opt

Spiral galaxies host dynamically important magnetic fields which can affect gas flows in the disks and halos. Total magnetic fields in spiral galaxies are strongest (up to 30 \muG) in the spiral arms where they are mostly turbulent or tangled. Polarized synchrotron emission shows that the resolved regular fields are generally strongest in the interarm region

We introduce two explicit examples of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle. Moments and the reflection coefficients are expressed in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions. We find explicit expression for these polynomials in terms of a new type of elliptic hypergeometric function. We show that obtained polynomials are orthogonal on the unit circle with res

The transit times are obtained for a symmetrized (two identical bosons) and an antisymmetrized (two identical fermions) quantum colliding configuration.

This article gives a natural decomposition of the suspension of generalized moment-angle complexes or {\it partial product spaces} which arise as {\it polyhedral product functors} described below.

We present explicit expressions for a large set of hierarchy wave functions on the torus. Included are the Laughlin states, the states in the positive Jain series, and recently observed states at e.g. $ν= 4/11$.

We compare the gravitational potential profiles of the elliptical galaxies NGC 4486 (M87) and NGC 1399 (the central galaxy in the Fornax cluster) derived from X-ray and optical data. This comparison suggests that the combined contribution of cosmic rays, magnetic fields and micro-turbulence to the pressure is ~10% of the gas thermal pressure in the cores of

Quintessence field is a widely-studied candidate of dark energy. There is &#34;tracker solution&#34; in quintessence models, in which evolution of the field $ϕ$ at present times is not sensitive to its initial conditions.

Energy dependence of heavy quarkonia production in hadron-nucleus collisions is studied in the framework of the Glauber-Gribov theory. We emphasize a change in the space-time picture of heavy-quark state production on nuclei with energy. Longitudinally ordered scattering of a heavy-quark system takes place at low energies, while with increasing energy it tra

Given a root system $\mathsf{R}$, the vector system $\tilde{\mathsf{R}}$ is obtained by taking a representative $v$ in each antipodal pair $\{v, -v\}$. The matroid $M(\mathsf{R})$ is formed by all independent subsets of $\tilde{\mathsf{R}}$. The automorphism group of a matroid is the group of permutations preserving its independent subsets.

We report on a new type of magnetic lens that focuses atomic clouds using a static inhomogeneous magnetic field in combination with a radio-frequency field. The experimental study is performed with a cloud of cold cesium atoms. The rf field adiabatically deforms the magnetic potential of a coil and therefore changes its focusing properties.

In this paper, we consider noncommutative superspace in relation with super Heisenberg group. We construct a matrix representation of super Heisenberg group and apply this to the two-dimensional deformed N=(2,2) superspace that appeared in string theory. We also construct a toy model for non-centrally extended `super Heisenberg group'.

Hidden variables are extra components added to try to banish counterintuitive features of quantum mechanics. We start with a quantum-mechanical model and describe various properties that can be asked of a hidden-variable model. We present six such properties and a Venn diagram of how they are related. With two existence theorems and three no-go theorems (EPR

We consider a hierarchical model of polymer pinning in presence of quenched disorder, introduced by B. Derrida, V. Hakim and J. Vannimenius in 1992, which can be re-interpreted as an infinite dimensional dynamical system with random initial condition (the disorder). It is defined through a recurrence relation for the law of a random variable {R_n}_{n=1,2,...

We prove a characterization theorem for the unit polydisc $Δ^n\subset\CC^n$ in the spirit of a recent result due to Kodama and Shimizu. We show that if $M$ is a connected $n$-dimensional complex manifold such that (i) the group $\hbox{Aut}(M)$ of holomorphic automorphisms of $M$ acts on $M$ with compact isotropy subgroups, and (ii) $\hbox{Aut}(M)$ and $\hbox

Charmed baryon strong decays are studied in a chiral quark model. The data for the decays of $Λ^+_c(2593)$, $Λ^+_c(2625)$, $Σ^{++,+,0}_c$ and $Σ^{+,0}_c(2520)$, are accounted for successfully, which allows to fix the pseudoscalar-meson-quark couplings in an effective chiral Lagrangian. Extending this framework to analyze the strong decays of the newly observ

Gravitational waves from test masses bound to geodesic orbits of rotating black holes are simulated, using Teukolsky&#39;s black hole perturbation formalism, for about ten thousand generic orbital configurations. Each binary radiates power exclusively in modes with frequencies that are integer-linear-combinations of the orbit&#39;s three fundamental frequenc

The Friedberg-Lee model is studied at finite temperature and density. By using the finite temperature field theory, the effective potential of the Friedberg-Lee model and the bag constant $B(T)$ and $B(T,μ)$ have been calculated at different temperatures and densities. It is shown that there is a critical temperature $T_{C}\simeq 106.6 \mathrm{MeV}$ when $μ=

We present a universal form of the $T$-matrices renormalized in nonperturbative regime and the ensuing notions and properties that fail conventional wisdoms. A universal scale is identified and shown to be renormalization group invariant. The effective range parameters are derived in a nonperturbative scenario with some new predictions within the realm of co

Most organizations today use spreadsheets in some form or another to support critical business processes. However the financial resources, and developmental rigor dedicated to them are often minor in comparison to other enterprise technology. The increasing focus on achieving regulatory and other forms of compliance over key technology assets has made it cle

We consider a strongly driven two-level (spin) system, with a periodic external field that induces a sequence of avoided level crossings. The spin system interacts with a bosonic reservoir which leads to decoherence. A Markovian dynamical equation is introduced without relying on the rotating wave approximation in the system-external field interaction. We sh

We consider collisional properties of weakly bound heteronuclear molecules (dimers) formed in a two-species mixture of atoms with a large mass difference. We focus on dimers containing light fermionic atoms as they manifest collisional stability due to an effective dimer-dimer repulsion originating from the exchange of the light atoms. In order to solve the
