In this paper, using 2MASS photometry, we study the mass functions $\phi(M) = dN/dM \propto M^{-\alpha}$ of a sample of nine clusters of ages varying from 4 Myr--1.2 Gyr and Galactocentric distances from 6--12 kpc. We look for evidence of…
We consider time discretizations of the Vlasov-HMF (Hamiltonian Mean-Field) equation based on splitting methods between the linear and non-linear parts. We consider solutions starting in a small Sobolev neighborhood of a spatially…
Independent sample generation is the prevailing paradigm in modern diffusion-based generative models of AI. We ask a different question: can samples \emph{coordinate} through shared population statistics to transport probability mass more…
We derive a general mean-field theory of inhomogeneous polymer dynamics; a theory whose form has been speculated and widely applied, but not heretofore derived. Our approach involves a functional integral representation of a…
We study chaos in the Hamiltonian Mean Field model (HMF), a system with many degrees of freedom in which $N$ classical rotators are fully coupled. We review the most important results on the dynamics and the thermodynamics of the HMF, and…
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) in star clusters is reviewed. Uncertainties in the observations are emphasized. We suggest there is a distinct possibility that cluster IMFs vary systematically with density or pressure. Dense…
