This article deals with topological assumptions under which the minimal volume entropy of a closed manifold $M$, and more generally of a finite simplicial complex $X$, vanishes or is positive. These topological conditions are expressed in…
We show that an analogy between crowding in fluid and jammed phases of hard spheres captures the density dependence of the kissing number for a family of numerically generated jammed states. We extend this analogy to jams of mixtures of…
We reveal the fractal nature of patterns arising in random sequential adsorption of particles with continuum power-law size distribution, $P(R)\sim R^{\alpha-1}$, $R \le R_{\rm max}$. We find that the patterns become more and more ordered…
The granular jamming transition is experimentally investigated in a two-dimensional system of frictional, bi-dispersed disks subject to quasi-static, uniaxial compression at zero granular temperature. Currently accepted results show the…
We consider the product of spectral projections $$ \Pi_\epsilon(\lambda) = 1_{(-\infty,\lambda-\epsilon)}(H_0) 1_{(\lambda+\epsilon,\infty)}(H) 1_{(-\infty,\lambda-\epsilon)}(H_0) $$ where $H_0$ and $H$ are the free and the perturbed…
We study emptiness formation probability (EFP) in interacting 1D Bose liquids. That is the probability that a snapshot of its ground state reveals exactly zero number of particles within the interval $|x|<R$. For a weakly interacting liquid…
Several well-known statistical measures similar to \emph{LMC} and \emph{Fisher-Shannon} complexity have been computed for confined hydrogen atom in both position ($r$) and momentum ($p$) spaces. Further, a more generalized form of these…
Stochastic systems that undergo random restarts to their initial state have been widely investigated in recent years, both theoretically and in experiments. Oftentimes, however, resetting to a fixed state is impossible due to thermal noise…
Based on experiments of the compaction of granular materials under periodic shear of a packing of glass beads, a minimal model for the dynamics of the packing density as a function of time is proposed. First, a random ``energy landscape''…
We investigate the thermodynamic and phenomenological implications of a cosmological model governed by fractional entropy applied to the apparent horizon of a flat Friedmann-Lema\^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe. By utilizing the…
We report new experimental results on granular compaction under consecutive vertical taps. The evolution of the mean volume fraction and of the mean potential energy of a granular packing presents a slow densification until a final…
We study the entanglement entropy of random partitions in one- and two-dimensional critical fermionic systems. In an infinite system we consider a finite, connected (hypercubic) domain of linear extent $L$, the points of which with…
We study a two-dimensional, off-lattice particle model introduced to describe absorbing phase transitions in driven non-Brownian suspensions. We numerically explore the $(\phi,\epsilon)$ phase diagram, where $\phi$ is the packing fraction…
The drainage of particulate foams is studied under conditions where the particles are not trapped individually by constrictions of the interstitial pore space. The drainage velocity decreases continuously as the particle volume fraction…
Although the concept of random close packing with an almost universal packing fraction of ~ 0.64 for hard spheres was introduced more than half a century ago, there are still ongoing debates. The main difficulty in searching the densest…
Particle motion at the micro-scale is an incessant tug-of-war between thermal fluctuations and applied forces on one side, and the strong resistance exerted by fluid viscosity on the other. Friction is so strong that completely neglecting…
Recent experiments report that slowly-sheared noncolloidal particle suspensions can exhibit unexpected rate($\omega$)-dependent complex viscosities in oscillatory shear, despite a constant relative viscosity in steady shear. Using a minimal…
In this paper, a new conserved current for Klein-Gordon equation is derived. It is shown, for $1+1$-dimensions, the first component of this current is non-negative and reduces to $|\phi|^2$ in non-relativistic limit. Therefore, it can be…
A one-dimensional run-and-tumble particle (RTP) switches randomly between a left and right moving state of constant speed $v$. This type of motion arises in a wide range of applications in cell biology, including the unbiased growth and…
We expand on previous work involving "vacuum-bounded" states, i.e., states such that every measurement performed outside a specified interior region gives the same result as in the vacuum. We improve our previous techniques by removing the…
