The dynamics of an infinite continuum system of randomly jumping and coalescing point particles is studied. The states of the system are probability measures on the corresponding configuration space $\Gamma$ the evolution of which is…
This work presents a procedure to solve the Euler equations by explicitly updating, in a conservative manner, a generic thermodynamic variable such as temperature, pressure or entropy instead of the total energy. The presented procedure is…
We consider various possible consequences of time-varying dark energy due to a quintessence scalar field whose energy density is partially converted to particles as the field evolves down its potential. This particle production acts as a…
The study of Mayer's cluster expansion (CE) for the partition function demonstrates a possible way to resolve the problem of the CE non-physical behavior at condensed states of fluids. In particular, a general equation of state is derived…
Theories with a pole in the kinetic term have been used to great effect in studying inflation, owing to their quantum stability and attractor properties. We explore the use of such pole kinetic terms in dark energy theories, finding an…
In spite of the strong observational evidence suggesting a period of rapid expansion in the early universe, the identity of the inflaton field that drove this expansion remains elusive. Many inflaton candidate particles (both known and…
Despite its historical importance, a perfect gas enclosed by a pistons and in contact with a thermal reservoirs is a system still largely under study. Its thermodynamic properties are not yet well understood when driven under…
We study the asymptotic behavior at late times of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (uniform density) cosmological models within scalar-tensor theories of gravity. Particularly, we analyze the late time behavior in the present (matter dominated)…
We determine analytically the dependence of the approach to thermal equilibrium of strongly coupled plasmas on the breaking of scale invariance. The theories we consider are the holographic duals to Einstein gravity coupled to a scalar with…
We have derived a set of equations to describe the thermal evolution of a neutron star which undergoes small-amplitude radial pulsations. We have taken into account, in the frame of the General Theory of Relativity, the pulsation damping…
We study the effects of polymer additives on turbulence generated by the ubiquitous Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Numerical simulations of complete viscoelastic models provide clear evidence that the heat transport is enhanced up to 50% with…
Studying the physical processes occurring in the region just above the magnetic poles of strongly magnetized, accreting binary neutron stars is essential to our understanding of stellar and binary system evolution. Perhaps more importantly,…
We study when a cosmological constant is a natural issue if it is mimicked by the potential of a massive Hyperextended Scalar Tensor theory with a perfect fluid for Bianchi type I and V models. We then deduce a reciprocal Wald theorem…
From Shor's [Comm. Math. Phys. 246(3), 453 (2004)] and Hastings's [Nature Phys. 5, 255 (2009)] studies, the strong superadditivity of entanglement of formation is, in general, not true. In this paper, we provide conditions for strong…
We present high spatial resolution spectropolarimetric observations of a quiescent hedgerow prominence taken in the He I 1083.0 nm triplet. The observation consisted of a time series in sit-and-stare mode of 36 minutes of duration. The…
Recent astronomical observations suggest that the bulk of energy in the Universe is repulsive and appears like a dark component with negative pressure ($\omega \equiv p_x/\rho_x < 0$). In this work we investigate thermodynamic and…
It is shown that a simple quasi-equilibrium analysis of a multi-component plasma can be harnessed to explain catastrophic energy transformations in astrophysical objects. We limit ourselves to the particular class of binary systems for…
We consider the evolution by crystalline curvature of a planar set in a stratified medium, modeled by a periodic forcing term. We characterize the limit evolution law as the period of the oscillations tends to zero. Even if the model is…
Recent simulation and experimental results suggest that the magnetic island and flow on resonant surface often do not satisfy the "no-slip" condition in the steady state. A new theory model on nonlinear plasma response to external magnetic…
