We show how a large class of sufficient conditions for the existence of bound states, in non-positive central potentials, can be constructed. These sufficient conditions yield upper limits on the critical value, $g_{\rm{c}}^{(\ell)}$, of…

Searches for intrinsic electric dipole moments (EDMs) of nucleons, atoms and molecules are precision flavor-diagonal probes of new $CP$-odd physics, as motivated by the need to explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. We…
We report the results of a new experimental search for a permanent electric dipole moment of 199Hg utilizing a stack of four vapor cells. We find d(199Hg) = (0.49 \pm 1.29_stat \pm 0.76_syst) x 10^{-29} e cm, and interpret this as a new…
We study polar molecule scattering in quasi-one-dimensional geometries. Elastic and reactive collision rates are computed as a function of collision energy and electric dipole moment for different confinement strengths. The numerical…
At a critical point of a second order phase transition the intrinsic energy surface is flat and there is no stable minimum value of the deformation. However, for a finite system, we show that there is an effective deformation which can…
We present results of the first experiment to probe for the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron using an $\Omega$-doublet state in a polar molecule. If the molecule is both massive and has a large molecular-fixed frame dipole…

Lattice QCD is rapidly progressing toward being able to reliably compute the electric dipole moment of the neutron as a function of the strong CP-violating parameter theta. Present day calculations are performed at unphysical values of the…
This paper is concerned with the critical threshold phenomenon for one dimensional damped, pressureless Euler-Poisson equations with electric force induced by a constant background, originally studied in [S. Engelberg and H. Liu and E.…
We study the critical behaviour near the threshold where a first bound state appears at some value of coupling constant in an attractive short-range potential in $2+\epsilon $ dimensions. We obtain general expression for the binding energy…
The weak dipole moments of leptons and quarks, \ie those related to their $Z$--coupling, are reviewed. Standard Model predictions and experimental results may result in a stringent test for both their pointlike structure and also for the…
Bounds on the exchange-correlation energy of many-electron systems are derived and tested. By using universal scaling properties of the electron-electron interaction, we obtain the exponent of the bounds in three, two, one, and quasi-one…
The electric dipole moments (EDMs) of neutron-odd nuclei with even protons are systematically evaluated. We first derive the relation between the EDM and the magnetic moment operators by making use of the core polarization scheme. This…
Dipole and higher moments are physical quantities used to describe a charge distribution. In analogy with electromagnetism, it is possible to define the dipole moments for a gray-scale image, according to the single aspect of a gray-tone…
