We analyze a class of the BCS model, whose free dispersion relation is non-vanishing, under the influence of imaginary magnetic field at positive temperature. The magnitude of the negative coupling constant must be small but is allowed to…

Consider $N$ bosons in a finite box $\Lambda= [0,L]^3\subset \bR^3$ interacting via a two-body nonnegative soft potential $V= \lambda \tilde V$ with $\tilde V$ fixed and $\lambda>0$ small. We will take the limit $L, N \to \infty$ by keeping…

The low-energy $\pi\pi$ amplitude is computed explicitly to two-loop accuracy in the chiral expansion. It depends only on six independent (combinations of) low-energy constants which are not fixed by chiral symmetry. Four of these constants…
For a dilute system of non-relativistic bosons interacting through a positive, radial potential $v$ with scattering length $a$ we prove that the ground state energy density satisfies the bound $e(\rho) \geq 4\pi a \rho^2 (1- C \sqrt{\rho…
We extract pairing gap in $^{184}$W at finite temperature for the first time from the experimental level densities of $^{183}$W, $^{184}$W, and $^{185}$W using "thermal" odd-even mass difference. We found the quenching of pairing gap near…
We calculate the critical temperature below which an excitonic insulator exists at the pressure-induced semiconductor-semimetal transition. Our approach is based on an effective-mass model for valence and conduction band electrons…
We calculate and discuss the effects on the thermodynamic properties of a 3D Bose gas caused by a gap $\Delta$ in the energy of the particles constituting the gas that without the gap behaves like an ideal Bose gas. Explicit formulae with…
