We analyze the spectral properties of a very general two-channel fermion-boson transport model in the insulating and metallic regimes, and the signatures of the metal-insulator quantum phase transition in between. To this end we determine…
The cosmological evolution of a scalar field is shaped by Hubble damping. Any non-gravitational couplings of the scalar with the primordial thermal bath generically contribute additional damping. Although rarely considered, such thermal…
We propose and study a common hierarchical mass texture for both charged lepton and neutrino sectors. The texture gives rise to a large $\nu_\mu\leftrightarrow\nu_\tau$ mixing. Also it leads to the small angle MSW effect solution for solar…
In order to get an estimate of the homogeneity of the distribution of matter in a fast hadron, we compute the correlation of the saturation scales between different impact parameters. We find that these correlations are quite strong: The…

Nonlinear plant-scale interactions controlling the soil-water balance are generally not valid at larger spatial scales due to spatial heterogeneity in rainfall and vegetation type. The relationships between spatially averaged variables are…
