We address the problem posed by the inhomogeneous trapping fields when using ultracold fermions to simulate strongly correlated electrons. As a starting point, we calculate the density of states for a single atom. Using semiclassical…

The six-vertex model is an important toy-model in statistical mechanics for two-dimensional ice with a natural parameter $\Delta$. When $\Delta = 0$, the so-called free-fermion point, the model is in natural correspondence with domino…

We propose a new correlator in one-dimensional quantum spin chains, the $s-$Emptiness Formation Probability ($s-$EFP). This is a natural generalization of the Emptiness Formation Probability (EFP), which is the probability that the first…

This paper concerns the 3-dimensional Lagrangian Navier-Stokes $\alpha$ model and the limiting Navier-Stokes system on smooth bounded domains with a class of vorticity-slip boundary conditions and the Navier-slip boundary conditions. It…

Fluid motion in tanks is usually described in space industry with the so-called Lomen hypothesis which assumes the vorticity is null in the moving frame. We establish in this contribution that this hypothesis is valid only for uniform…

We compute the free energy and surface tension function for the five-vertex model, a model of non-intersecting monotone lattice paths on the grid in which each corner gets a positive weight. We give a variational principle for limit shapes…

In the paper arXiv:1803.11463, the authors study the arctic curve arising in random tilings of some planar domains with an arbitrary distribution of defects on one edge. Using the tangent method they derive a parametric equation for…

We investigate the boundary critical phenomena of the one-dimensional quantum Ashkin-Teller model using boundary conformal field theory and density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) simulations. Based on the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-orbifold of the…

The Boson-Fermion model, describing a mixture of hybridized localized Bosons and itinerant Fermions on a lattice, is known to exhibit spectral properties for the Fermions which upon lowering the temperature develop into a three pole…

We study limit shapes for dimer models on domains of the hexagonal lattice with free boundary conditions. This is equivalent to the large deviation phenomenon for a random stepped surface over domains fixed only at part of the boundary.

We consider a two matrix model with gaussian interaction involving the term $tr ABAB$, which is quartic in angular variables. It describes a vertex model (in particular case - of F-model type) on the lattice of fluctuating geometry and is…

We propose a general formalism to compute exact correlation functions for Cardy's boundary states. Using the free-field construction of boundary states and applying the Coulomb-gas technique, it is shown that charge-neutrality conditions…

In view of the recent interest in reproducing holographically various properties of conformal fluids, we review the issue of vorticity in the context of AdS/CFT. Three-dimensional fluids with vorticity require four-dimensional bulk…

We study the edge behavior of inhomogeneous one-dimensional quantum systems, such as Lieb-Liniger models in traps or spin chains in spatially varying magnetic fields. For free systems these fall into several universality classes, the most…
