We discuss the long range interactions mediated by continuous spin particles. We start by deriving the propagator for a continuous spin particle using the antifield BRST formalism. Then we couple the continuous spin particle to a conserved…

We study condensation and evaporation of particles which repel each other, using a simple set of rules on a square lattice. Different results are obtained for a mobile and an immobile surface layer.A two point limit cycle is observed for…
Using Brownian dynamics computer simulations we show that a two-dimensional suspension of self-propelled ("active") colloidal particles crystallizes at sufficiently high densities. Compared to the equilibrium freezing of passive particles…
Polarization of the interface, spontaneously occurring when water is in contact with hydrophobic solutes or air, couples with the uniform external field to produce a non-zero force acting on a suspended particle. This force exists even in…
We investigate the motion of one and two charged non-relativistic particles on a sphere in the presence of a magnetic field of uniform strength. For one particle, the motion is always circular, and determined by a simple relation between…
