Raman spectroscopy uses light scattering to extract information on low-energy excitations of solids. The Raman process is described by diagrams which are fourth order in the light-matter interaction, and in particular the resonant…
Wave resonance is the fundamental mechanism of non-linear instabilities of fluid flows, and affects the long-time evolution of fluid motions and other physical problems described by non-linear differential equations. Some significant…
We predict the onset of self-induced parametric or Faraday instabilities in a laser, spontaneously induced by the presence of pump depletion in the cavity, which leads to a periodic gain landscape for light propagating in the cavity. As a…

A nonlinear Langmuir wave in the kinetic regime $k\lambda_D\gtrsim0.2$ may have a filamentation instability, where $k$ is the wavenumber and $\lambda_D$ is the Debye length. The nonlinear stage of that instability develops into the…
In some linearly unstable flows, secondary instability is found to have a much larger wavelength than that of the primary unstable modes, so that it cannot be recovered with a classical Floquet analysis. In this work, we apply a new…

We present a systematic stability analysis for the two-dimensional Hubbard model, which is based on a new renormalization group method for interacting Fermi systems. The flow of effective interactions and susceptibilities confirms the…
Electron beams in two-dimensional systems can provide a useful tool to study energy-momentum relaxation of electrons and to generate microwave radiation stemming from plasma-beam instabilities. Naturally, these two applications cannot…
A basic model for describing plasma dynamics is given by the Euler-Maxwell system, in which compressible ion and electron fluids interact with their own self-consistent electromagnetic field. In this paper we consider the "one-fluid"…
