This paper studies a possible connection between the way the time averaged electromagnetic power dissipated into heat blows up and the anomalous localized resonance in plasmonic structures. We show that there is a setting in which the…
We examine examples of weakly nonlinear systems whose steady states undergo a bifurcation with increasing forcing, such that a forced subsystem abruptly ceases to absorb additional energy, instead diverting it into an initially quiescent,…
The nature of delocalization in a 1D system ruled by a tight-binding Hamiltonian is investigated. Using a local evaluation of the ground state energy, it is shown that the range of the delocalization effects is rather limited. The method is…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition, of geometric type, for the uniform decay of energy of solutions of the linear system of magnetoelasticity in a bounded domain with smooth boundary. A Dirichlet-type boundary condition is…
The genuine physical reasons explaining the delocalization effect of the Hubbard repulsion U are analyzed. First it is shown that always when this effect is observed, U acts on the background of a macroscopic degeneracy present in a…
We investigate the transition induced by disorder in a periodically-driven one-dimensional model displaying quantized topological transport. We show that, while instantaneous eigenstates are necessarily Anderson localized, the periodic…
In pattern-forming systems, localized patterns are readily found when stable patterns exist at the same parameter values as the stable unpatterned state. Oscillons are spatially localized, time-periodic structures, which have been found…
Systems where all energy eigenstates are localized are known to display an emergent local integrability, in the sense that one can construct an extensive number of operators that commute with the Hamiltonian and are localized in real space.…
From cell development to space rockets, the mechanical stability of thin shells is crucial across many industrial and natural processes. However, predicting shells' failure properties remains an open challenge, owing to their sensitivity to…
The simple stationary decoherence of a two-state quantum system is discussed from a new viewpoint of environmental entanglement. My work emphasizes that an unconditional local state must totally be disentangled from the rest of the…
We prove that every flat nonlinear discrete-time system can be decomposed by coordinate transformations into a smaller-dimensional subsystem and an endogenous dynamic feedback. For flat continuous-time systems, no comparable result is…
We consider an autonomous system in R^n having a limit cycle x_0 of period T>0 which is nondegenerate in a suitable sense. We then consider the perturbed system obtained by adding to the autonomous system a T-periodic, not necessarily…
We numerically study the single particle localization and delocalization phenomena of an initially localized wave packet in the kicked Harper model (KHM) and Harper model subjected to quasi-periodic perturbation composed of $M-$modes. Both…
We show that, in a many-body system, all particles can be strongly confined to the initially occupied sites for a time that scales as a high power of the ratio of the bandwidth of site energies to the hopping amplitude. Such time-domain…
The phase oscillator model with global coupling is extended to the case of finite-range nonlocal coupling. Under suitable conditions, peculiar patterns emerge in which a quasi-continuous array of identical oscillators separates sharply into…
Electron and phonon states in two different models of intentionally disordered superlattices are studied analytically as well as numerically. The localization length is calculated exactly and we found that it diverges for particular…
We describe a one-dimensional disordered system, based on the Poschl-Teller potential, that exhibits a continuum of extended states which is independent of the random or correlated character of the sequence and of the length of the system.…
Following a number of recent studies of resolvent and spectral convergence of non-uniformly elliptic families of differential operators describing the behaviour of periodic composite media with high contrast, we study the corresponding…
We use the method of bulk-boundary correspondence of topological invariants to show that disordered topological insulators have at least one delocalized state at their boundary at zero energy. Those insulators which do not have chiral…
Subjecting a many-body localized system to a time-periodic drive generically leads to delocalization and a transition to ergodic behavior if the drive is sufficiently strong or of sufficiently low frequency. Here we show that a specific…
