We investigate the infrared fixed point structure in asymptotically free and asymptotically non-free theory. We find that the ratios of couplings converge strongly to their infrared fixed points in the asymptotically non-free theory.
We propose a new formalism to handle asymmetric beams in the data analysis of cosmic microwave background anisotropy experiments. For any beam shape, the formalism finds the optimal circularly symmetric equivalent and is thus easily…
Exact density-functional theory is reconstructed here from its convex variational structure as two parallel exact ensemble hierarchies: an interacting hierarchy rooted in Lieb's ensemble formulation and a noninteracting hierarchy rooted in…

Density functional theory is the standard theory for computing the electronic structure of materials, which is based on a functional that maps the electron density to the energy. However, a rigorous form of the functional is not known and…

Highly accurate experimental structure factors of silicon are available in the literature, and these provide the ideal test for any \emph{ab initio} method for the construction of the all-electron charge density. In a recent paper [J. R.…
The present contribution proposes a universal framework to formulate generalized section-section interaction potentials (SSIP) within the geometrically exact beam theory. By exploiting the fundamental kinematic assumption of undeformable…
