Concavity properties prevent the existence of significant landscapes in energy surfaces obtained by strict constrained energy minimizations. The inherent contradiction is due to fluctuations of collective coordinates. A solution to those…
We perform an analysis where Einstein's field equation is derived by means of very simple thermodynamical arguments. Our derivation is based on a consideration of the properties of a very small, spacelike two-plane in a uniformly…
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of positive ground states for H\'enon type systems involving a fractional Laplacian on a bounded domain, when the powers of the nonlinearity approach the Sobolev critical exponent.
We prove that generic quantum local Hamiltonians are gapless. In fact, we prove that there is a continuous density of states above the ground state. The Hamiltonian can be on a lattice in any spatial dimension or on a graph with a bounded…
Adsorbed gases within, or outside of, carbon nanotubes may be analyzed with an approximate model of adsorption on lattice sites situated on a cylindrical surface. Using this model, the ground state energies of alternative lattice structures…
We consider the three dimensional gravitational Vlasov-Poisson (GVP) system in both classical and relativistic cases. The classical problem is subcritical in the natural energy space and the stability of a large class of ground states has…
By viewing entanglement as a state function, a new kind of phase transition takes place: the geometric phase transition. This phenomenon occurs due to singularities in the shape of the entangled states set. It is shown how this result can…
In this paper we consider the anisotropic curve shortening flow in the plane in the presence of an ambient force. We consider force fields in which all their derivatives are bounded in the $L^{\infty}$ sense. We prove that closed embedded…

Reconstructing a density of states or similar distribution from moments or continued fractions is an important problem in calculating the electronic and vibrational structure of defective or non-crystalline solids. For single bands a…
The ground state energy of a finite-dimensional one-parameter Hamiltonian and the continuity of a maximum-entropy inference map are discussed in the context of quantum critical phenomena. The domain of the inference map is a convex compact…
We report calculations of the ground state energies and geometries for clusters of different sizes (up to 80 particles), where individual particles interact simultaneously via a short-ranged attractive -modeled with a generalization of the…
We address the problem of the so-called ``granular gases'', i.e. gases of massive particles in rapid movement undergoing inelastic collisions. We introduce a class of models of driven granular gases for which the stationary state is the…
An exact, plane wave solution of the gravitational field equations is investigated. The source stress tensor is represented by an anisotropic null fluid with energy flux to which the energy density $\rho$ and all pressures are finite…
Our study of a basic model for incompressible two-phase flows with phase transitions consistent with thermodynamics in the case of constant but non-equal densities of the phases, begun by the first two authors is continued. We extend our…
The quantum dynamics of a two-dimensional charged spin $1/2$ particle is studied for general, symmetry--free curved surfaces and general, nonuniform magnetic fields that are, when different from zero, orthogonal to the defining two surface.…
We report an experimental study of a dilute "gas" of magnetic particles subjected to a vertical alternating magnetic field in a 3D container. Due to the torque exerted by the field on the magnetic moment of each particle, a spatially…
A simple geometrical model is presented for the gravity-driven motion of a single particle on a rough inclined surface. Adopting a simple restitution law for the collisions between the particle and the surface, we arrive at a model in which…

The state of a finite-dimensional quantum system is described by a density matrix that can be decomposed into a real diagonal, a real off-diagonal and and an imaginary off-diagonal part. The latter plays a peculiar role. While it is…
