We show that if one or more of the `constants' of Nature can vary then their values, as measured in the laboratory, should oscillate over the year in a very particular way. These seasonal changes in the constants could well be detected, in…
Low lying scalar resonances emerge as a necessary part to adjust chiral perturbation theory to experimental data once unitarity constraint is taken into consideration. I review recent progress made in this direction in a model independent…
We present an experimental study of the compaction dynamics for two-dimensional anisotropic granular systems. Compaction dynamics is measured at three different scales : (i) the macroscopic scale through the packing fraction $\rho$, (ii)…
We present a general theory for noise-induced corrections to the angular velocity of spiral waves. Stochasticity produces two second-order effects: an instantaneous term from heterogeneity that always slows rotation, and an orbital-drift…
We analyze the motion of an overdamped classical particle in a multidimensional periodic potential, driven by a weak external noise. We demonstrate that in steady-state, the presence of temporal correlations in the noise and spatial…
Observational data from the ESA astrometric mission Gaia determining the positions of celestial objects within an accuracy of few microarcseconds will be soon fully available. Other satellite-based space missions are currently planned to…
The back-reaction effects for the spinning charge moving through the constant homogeneous electromagnetic field are studied in the context of the mass-shift (MS) method. For the g=2 magnetic moment case we find the (complex) addition to the…

Helioseismology revealed an increase in the rotation rate with depth just beneath the solar surface. The relative magnitude of the radial shear is almost constant with latitude. This rotational state can be interpreted as a consequence of…
This paper reviews some recent work on (s)pin structures and the Dirac operator on hypersurfaces (in particular, on spheres), on real projective spaces and quadrics. Two approaches to spinor fields on manifolds are compared. The action of…
The successful miniaturization of extremely accurate atomic clocks invites prospects for satellite missions to perform precise timing experiments. This will allow effects predicted by general relativity to be detected in Earth's…
Observing and taming unusual effects arising from non-trivial light-matter interaction has always triggered scientists to better understand Nature and develop technological tools towards implementing novel applications. Recently, several…
Long-term observational data have information on the magnetic cycles of active stars and that of the Sun. The changes in the activity of our central star have basic effects on Earth, like variations in the global climate. Therefore…
Extreme mass-ratio inspirals detectable by the future Laser Interferometer Space Antenna provide a unique way to test general relativity and fundamental physics. Motivated by this possibility, here we study in detail the EMRI dynamics in…
Rotations of microscale rigid bodies exhibit pronounced quantum phenomena that do not exist for their center-of-mass motion. By levitating nanoparticles in ultra-high vacuum, researchers are developing a promising platform for observing and…
Timing analysis is a powerful tool used to determine periodic features of physical phenomena. Here we review two applications of timing analysis to gravitational microlensing events. The first one, in particular cases, allows the estimation…
The conversion of nuclear matter to quark matter in the core of a rotating neutron star alters its moment of inertia. Hence the epoch over which conversion takes place will be signaled in the spin-down "signal_prl.tex" 581 lines, 22203…
In this work, we propose that there exists a moving triangle singularity in the $\psi(2S) \to \pi^+ \pi^- K^+ K^-$ process, whose position can vary from 1.158 to 1.181 GeV in the invariant mass spectrum of $K^+K^-$. After a precise analysis…
Strong spin fluctuations are expected near the thermodynamic critical point of a continuous magnetic phase transition. Such critical spin fluctuations are highly correlated and in principle can occur at any time- and length-scales; they…
We present numerical simulations of the 4D Edwards Anderson Ising spin glass with binary couplings. Our results, in the midst of strong finite size effects, suggest the existence of a spin glass phase transition. We present a preliminar…
