The Kubo formula describes a current as a response to an external field. In the case of heat conduction there is no such external field. We analyze why and to what extend it is nevertheless justified to describe heat conduction in modular…

A simple and physically transparent magnetoelasticity theory is proposed to describe linear dynamics of incompressible fractional quantum Hall states. The theory manifestly satisfies the Kohn theorem and the $f$-sum rule, and predicts a…

The Kotani-Last conjecture states that every ergodic operator in one space dimension with non-empty absolutely continuous spectrum must have almost periodic coefficients. This statement makes sense in a variety of settings; for example,…
