Questions regarding energy dissipation in astrophysical jets are open to date, despite of numerous attempts to limit the diversity of models. Some of the most popular models assume that energy is transferred to particles via internal…
We study interaction-induced broken symmetry phases that can arise in metallic or semimetallic band structures with two nested Weyl or Dirac loops. The odered phases can be of the charge or (pseudo)spin density wave type, or…
Spiral wave patterns observed in models of cardiac arrhythmias and chemical oscillations develop alternans and stationary line defects, which can both be thought of as period-doubling instabilities. These instabilities are observed on…
