Binding of neutral Pheophorbide-a methyl ester (MePheo-a) to various synthetic polynucleotides, double-stranded poly(A)-poly(U), poly(G)-poly(C) and four-stranded poly(G), as well as to calf thymus DNA, was studied using the methods of…

Recent papers in solvable lattice models emphasize models where states can be visualized as colored paths through the lattice. We define a bosonic model in which there are two types of colors, one whose paths move down and to the right, the…
In this paper we study metastable states in single- and two-component dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates. We show that this system supports a rich spectrum of symmetries that are remarkably stable despite not being ground states. In a…
The study of bond alternation in one-dimensional electronic systems has had a long history. Theoretical work in the 1930s predicted the absence of bond alternation in the limit of infinitely long conjugated polymers; a result later…

In alloys exhibiting substitutional disorder, the variety of atomic environments manifests itself as a `disorder broadening' in their core level binding energy spectra. Disorder broadening can be measured experimentally, and in principle…
In this work, a theory of color symmetry is presented that extends the ideas of traditional theories of color symmetry for periodic crystals to apply to non-periodic crystals. The color symmetries are associated to each of the crystalline…
We study, at zero temperature, the dynamics of a single electron in a Holstein model augmented by site-diagonal, binary-alloy type disorder. The average over the phonon vacuum and the alloy configurations is performed within a generalized…
F\"orster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a quantum mechanical phenomenon involving the non-radiative transfer of energy between coupled electric dipoles. Due to the strong dependence of FRET on the distance between the dipoles, it is…
The Migdal-Eliashberg theory (MET) describes electrons interacting with phonons in the adiabatic limit when the phonon Debye frequency is much smaller than the Fermi energy. A conventional belief is that MET holds even at strong coupling,…
