We study the spin-half Heisenberg chain with alternating nearest neighbor interactions $J_1(1+\delta)$ and $J_1(1-\delta)$ and a uniform second neighbor interaction $J_2=y (1-\delta)$ by series expansions around the limit of decoupled…
We investigate the boost-invariant expansion of a recently developed first-order spin hydrodynamic framework in which the spin chemical potential is treated as a leading-order hydrodynamic variable. Considering a symmetric energy-momentum…
We have investigated the phase transition of the gas-liquid type, with an upper critical point, in a variant of the One Component Plasma model (OCP) that has a uniform but compressible compensating background. We have calculated the…
It is difficult to derive the solid--fluid transition from microscopic models. We introduce particle systems whose potentials do not decay with distance and calculate their partition function exactly using a method similar to that for…
Based on phase space arguments, we develop a simple approach to metallic quantum critical points, designed to study the problem without integrating the fermions out of the partition function. The method is applied to the spin-fermion model…
We use Monte Carlo methods to study spinons in two-dimensional quantum spin systems, characterizing their intrinsic size $\lambda$ and confinement length $\Lambda$. We confirm that spinons are deconfined, $\Lambda \to \infty$ and $\lambda$…
In this article, we introduce an energy functional on closed Riemannian spin manifolds which unifies Perelman's W- and F-functionals, Baldauf-Ouzch's E-functional, and Dirchlet energy for spinors. We compute its first variation formula, and…
The fluidic pinball is a geometrically simple flow configuration with three rotating cylinders on the vertex of an equilateral triangle. Yet, it remains physically rich enough to host a range of interacting frequencies and to allow testing…
In the framework of the Einstein-Dirac-aether theory we consider a phenomenological model of the spontaneous growth of the fermion number, which is triggered by the dynamic aether. The trigger version of spinorization of the early Universe…
With the rapidly expanded field of two-dimensional(2D) magnetic materials, the frustrated magnetic skyrmions are attracting growing interest recently. Here, based on hexagonal close-packed (HCP) lattice of $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg spins…
We study experimentally the motion of an intruder dragged into an amorphous monolayer of horizontally vibrated grains at high packing fractions. This motion exhibits two transitions. The first transition separates a continuous motion regime…
An electronically coarse-grained model for water reveals a persistent vestige of the liquid-gas transition deep into the supercritical region. A crossover in the density dependence of the molecular dipole arises from the onset of…
A translation invariant one-dimensional system of spinless fermions with a finite-range attraction experiences a quantum phase transition to a phase-separated state. While being a conventional Luttinger liquid for a small interaction…
Depending on the type of flow, the transition to turbulence can take one of two forms: either turbulence arises from a sequence of instabilities or from the spatial proliferation of transiently chaotic domains, a process analogous to…
We use holography to develop a physical picture of the real-time evolution of the spinodal instability of a four-dimensional, strongly-coupled gauge theory with a first-order, thermal phase transition. We numerically solve Einstein's…
Cilia and flagella are actively bending slender organelles, performing functions such as motility, feeding and embryonic symmetry breaking. We review the mechanics of viscous-dominated microscale flow, including time-reversal symmetry, drag…
The energies of singlet stripe phases in which a plane is broken up into spin liquid ladders by lines of holes, is examined. If the holes were static then patterns containing spin liquids with a finite spin gap are favored. The case of…
Phase diagrams of some globular proteins have a fluid-fluid transition as well as a fluid-crystal transition. Homogeneous nucleation of the crystal from the fluid phase near the critical point of the fluid-fluid transition is examined. As…
It is well known that the hydrodynamics of a zero-temperature superfluid can be formulated in field-theoretic terms, relating for example the superfluid four-velocity to the gradient of the phase of a Bose-condensed scalar field. At nonzero…
We study the decoherence of a spin-1/2 induced by an environment which is on the verge of a continuous phase transition. We consider spin environments described by the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic Heisenberg models on a square…
