Heat kernel methods are useful for studying properties of quantum gravity. We recompute here the first three heat kernel coefficients in perturbative quantum gravity with cosmological constant to ascertain which ones are correctly reported…
We construct and estimate the fundamental solution of highly anisotropic space-inhomogeneous integro-differential operators. We use the Levi method. We give applications to the Cauchy problem for such operators.
We classify the elementary classical and quantum Lifshitz systems. Lifshitz systems are systems where space and time scale anisotropically. That is, there is a constant $z$ such that under scaling by a factor of $\lambda$, \begin{equation*}…
We present results of the study of the non-monotonous behavior of the Lifshitz line as a function of temperature in ternary homopolymer/diblock-copolymer mixtures. The non-monotonous behavior of the Lifshitz line is due to the wave vector…
