We study solvable spin chains where either fields or couplings vary linearly in space and create a sandwich-like structure of the ground state. We find that the entanglement entropy between two halves of a chain varies logarithmically with…
The resonant configurations and normal frequencies of a loaded hanging chain that is rotating uniformly about the vertical are examined for theoretical and experimental perspectives. The chain is assumed pinned at both ends, with an extra…
We study the chordal Loewner equation associated with certain driving functions that produce infinitely many slits. Specifically, for a choice of a sequence of positive numbers $(b_n)_{n\ge1}$ and points of the real line $(k_n)_{n\ge1}$, we…
This attempt to "derive" space is part of the Random Dynamics project. The Random Dynamics philosophy is that what we observe at our low energy level can be interpreted as some Taylor tail of the physics taking place at a higher energy…
Employing the Lagrange inverting series, a solution of the transcendental equation $(x-a)(x-b)=le^{x}$, that can be considered a quadratic generalization of the equation defining Lambert $W$ function, has been found in terms of Bessel…
A susceptibility function ${\chi}(L)$ is introduced to quantify some aspects of the intermittent stick-slip dynamics of a rough metallic cylinder of length $L$ on a rough metallic incline submitted to small controlled perturbations and…
These lectures about lattice field theory were written for, and given at, TASI 2019, ``The many dimensions of quantum field theory.'' The students at this TASI were mostly interested in formal things, and so these are slightly unusual…
A relativistic Wigner function for free Discrete Time Quantum Walks (DTQWs) on the square $2D$ space-time lattice is defined. Useful concepts such as discrete derivatives and discrete distributions are also introduced. The transport…
We analytically study a scattering of long linear surface waves on stationary currents in a duct (canal) of constant depth and variable width. It is assumed that the background velocity linearly increases or decreases with the longitudinal…
It is known that the high-energy quark-quark scattering amplitude can be described by the expectation value of two lightlike Wilson lines, running along the classical trajectories of the two colliding particles. Generalizing the results of…
In the first part of this work the classical and statistical aspects of the dynamics of an inextensible chain in three dimensions are investigated. In the second part the special case of a chain admitting only fixed angles with respect to…
An infinite irregular harmonic chain of particles is considered. We assume that some particles (``defects'') in the chain have masses and force constants of interaction different from the masses and the interaction constants of the other…
The imaginary part of the effective heavy-quark potential is related to the total in-medium decay width of heavy quark-antiquark bound states. We extract the static limit of this quantity using classical-statistical simulations of real-time…
The Jacobi and Weierstrass elliptic functions used to be part of the standard mathematical arsenal of physics students. They appear as solutions of many important problems in classical mechanics: the motion of a planar pendulum (Jacobi),…
We present numerical results for various information theoretic properties of the square lattice Ising model. First, using a bond propagation algorithm, we find the difference $2H_L(w) - H_{2L}(w)$ between entropies on cylinders of finite…
The functions studied in the paper are quaternion-valued functions of a quaternionic variable. It is show that the left slice regular functions and right slice regular functions are related by a particular involution. The relation between…
In the covariant lattice formalism, chiral four-dimensional heterotic string vacua are obtained from certain even self-dual lattices which completely decompose into a left-mover and a right-mover lattice. The main purpose of this work is to…
This paper presents the results of studies in elaboration of a mathematical model of the cavity-chain slow wave structures. Considered is the problem of coupling of an infinitely long cylindrical cavity chain coupled through centerholes in…
We describe a simple method that can be used to sample the rare fluctuations of discrete-time Markov chains. We focus on the case of Markov chains with well-defined steady-state measures, and derive expressions for the large-deviation rate…
If the electroweak symmetry-breaking sector becomes strongly interacting at high energies, it can be probed through longitudinal $W$ scattering. We present a model with many inelastic channels in the $W_L W_L$ scattering process,…
