The effective metric is introduced by means of two examples (non-linear electromagnetism and hydrodynamics),along with applications in Astrophysics. A sketch of the generality of the effect is also given.
Invariance properties of a physical system govern its behavior: energy conservation in turbulence drives a wide distribution of energy among modes, as observed in geophysics, astrophysics and engineering. In hydrodynamic turbulence, the…
In recent years a fashion has grown up to ascribe great importance to ``quantum critical points'' at T=0, at the boundary between the basins of attraction to the stable fixed points of ordered ground states. I argue that more physical…
It is known that the golden ratio $\alpha =\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ has many applications in geometry. In this paper we consider some geometric properties of finite Blaschke products related to the golden ratio.
In spherical symmetry with radial coordinate $r$, classical Newtonian gravitation supports circular orbits and, for $-1/r$ and $r^2$ potentials only, closed elliptical orbits [1]. Various families of elliptical orbits can be thought of as…
An amusing connection between Ford circles, Fibonacci numbers, and golden ratio is shown. Namely, certain tangency points of Ford circles are concyclic and involve Fibonacci numbers. They form four circles that cut the x-axis at points…
Turbulent flows of incompressible liquid in two dimensions are comprised of dense systems of vortices. Such system of vortices can be treated as a fluid and itself could be described in terms of hydrodynamics. We develop the hydrodynamics…

Vibrating walls, used to maintain the temperature in a granular gas, modify the system strongly. Most conspicuously, the usual one-peak velocity distribution splits into two, asymmetrically positioned. A surgical repair of the usual…
The present paper deals with some kind of quantum ``velocity'' which is introduced by the method of hydrodynamical analogy. It is found that this ``velocity'' is in general irrotational, namely, a vorticity vanishes, and then a velocity…
We show that the boost-invariant and cylindrically asymmetric hydrodynamic equations for baryon-free matter may be rewritten as only two coupled partial differential equations. In the case where the system exhibits the cross-over phase…

Solutions to hydrodynamic equations, which are used for a vast variety of physical problems, are assumed to be specified by boundary conditions and initial conditions on the hydrodynamic variables only. Initial values of other variables are…
The hydrodynamic equations for a crystals with interstitials, taking into account the dissipative processes of the viscosity, heat conduction and the interstitial diffusion are derived. To achieve that we use the phenomenological approach…
We study the role of viscosity in the early stages of relativistic heavy ion collisions. We investigate the role of viscosity on the chemical equilibration of a parton gas. In the presence of viscosity the lifetime of the system is…
In this lecture note, we present several topics on relativistic hydrodynamics and its application to relativistic heavy ion collisions. In the first part we give a brief introduction to relativistic hydrodynamics in the context of heavy ion…
Hydrodynamics is the appropriate "effective theory" for describing any fluid medium at sufficiently long length scales. This paper treats the vacuum as such a medium and derives the corresponding hydrodynamic equations. Unlike a normal…
Exploiting Markoff's Theory for rational approximations of real numbers, we explicitly link how hard it is to approximate a given number to an idealized notion of growth capacity for plants which we express as a modular invariant function…
We discuss how the wettability and roughness of a solid impacts its hydrodynamic properties. We see in particular that hydrophobic slippage can be dramatically affected by the presence of roughness. Owing to the development of refined…
We construct information geometry for hydrodynamics with global gauge and gravitational anomalies in $1+1$ and $3+1$ dimensions. We introduce the metric on a parameter space and show that turning on non-zero rotations leads to a curvature…
