It is generally believed that quantum fluctuations collaborate with thermal fluctuations, effectively reducing transition temperatures (e.g. for melting of charge order). We show that this is not always the case and that the interplay…

Hawking radiation has thermal spectrum corresponding to the temperature ${T}_{H}={(8{\pi}M)}^{-1}$, where $M$ is the mass (energy) of the black hole. Corrections to the Hawking radiation spectrum were discovered by Kraus and Wilczek (1995)…
A Liouville formalism was proposed many years ago to account for the black hole entropy. It was recently updated to connect thermodynamics of general black holes, in particular the Hawking temperature, to two-dimensional Liouville theory.…
We proposed an alternative model to criterion of Lindemann for melting that explains the melting of thin films on the basis of a molecular zipper-like mechanism. Using this model, a unique criterion for melting is obtained. We compared the…
