It has been proposed recently the existence of a non-minimal coupling between a canonical scalar field (quintessence) and gravity in the framework of teleparallel gravity, motivated by similar constructions in the context of General…
Recent developments have highlighted the potential of quantum spin models to realize the phenomenology of confinement leading to the formation of bound states such as mesons. In this work we show that Ising chains also provide a platform to…

Two dimensional disordered superconductors with broken spin-rotation and time-reversal invariance, e.g. with p_x+ip_y pairing, can exhibit plateaus in the thermal Hall coefficient (the thermal quantum Hall effect). Our numerical simulations…

The problem of Maxwell's demon in granular gas is revisited in the case of a mixture of two particle species. The phase space is found to be 2d. Existence of cyclic orbits, with periodic segregation, is demonstrated by investigating the…
In a sandpile model addition of a hole is defined as the removal of a grain from the sandpile. We show that hole avalanches can be defined very similar to particle avalanches. A combined particle-hole sandpile model is then defined where…
We show the absence of continuous symmetry breaking in 2D lattice systems without any smoothness assumptions on the interaction. We treat certain cases of interactions with integrable singularities. We also present cases of singular…
Particle-hole symmetry plays an important role for the characterization of topological phases in solid-state systems. It is found, for example, in free-fermion systems at half filling, and it is closely related to the notion of…
Positioned between crystalline solids and liquids, disordered many-particle systems which are stealthy and hyperuniform represent new states of matter that are endowed with novel physical and thermodynamic properties. Such stealthy and…
The edge of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) in a magnetic field consists of one-dimensional (1D) edge-channels that arise from the confining electric field at the edge of the specimen$^{1-3}$. The crossed electric and magnetic…
We propose a mechanism of long-range coherent coupling between nuclear spins to be used as qubits in solid-state semiconductor-heterojunction quantum information processing devices. The coupling is via localized donor electrons which in…
