We demonstrate that the widely used plasma analogy is unreliable at predicting edge properties of quantum Hall states. This discrepancy arises from a fundamental difference between quantum Hall droplets and plasmas (Coulomb gases): the…

A rigorous quantum relativistic approach has been used to calculate the relationship between the decay laws of an unstable particle seen from two inertial frames moving with respect to each other. In agreement with experiment, it is found…

Theorem 6.1.1 of [H.A.H.A.] on the existence of a model structure on the category of operads is not valid in the generality claimed. We present here a counter-example (due to B. Fresse) and a corrected version of the theorem.

We study some aspects of recent proposals to use the noncommutative Chern-Simons theory as an effective description of some planar condensed matter models in strong magnetic fields, such as the Quantum Hall Effect. We present an alternative…

Derrick's theorem on the nonexistence of stable time-independent scalar field configurations [G. H. Derrick, J. Math. Phys. 5, 1252 (1964)] is generalized to finite systems of arbitrary dimension. It is shown that the "dilation" argument…

Let p=tp(a/A) be a stationary type in an arbitrary finite rank stable theory, and P an A-invariant family of partial types. The following property is introduced and characterised: whenever c is definable over (A,a) and a is not algebraic…

The influence of dephasing on the quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE) is studied. In the absence of dephasing, the longitudinal resistance in a QSHE system exhibits the quantum plateaus. We find that these quantum plateaus are robust against…

We study some kind of rigidity property for dicritical foliation in the complex plane. In fact, we prove that for a generic dicritical foliation, there exists deformations of the resolution space which cannot carry any deformation of the…

In this paper we present the status of the physics of Planck scale black holes with particular reference to their conjectured production in particle accelerator experiments at the terascale. After reviewing some open issues of fundamental…

We show that Mazur's conjecture on the real topology of rational points on varieties implies that there is no diophantine model of the rational integers in the rational numbers. We also prove that there is a diophantine model of the…

We show there are intermediate $P$-minimal structures between the semi-algebraic and sub-analytic languages which do not have definable Skolem functions. As a consequence, by a result of Mourgues, this shows there are $P$-minimal structures…

According to Bell's theorem a large class of hidden-variable models obeying Bell's notion of local causality conflict with the predictions of quantum mechanics. Recently, a Bell-type theorem has been proven using a weaker notion of local…

We apply hard pion Chiral Perturbation Theory to charmonium decays to $\pi\pi$, $KK$ and $\eta\eta$. We first discuss why we expect to be able to provide results for the chiral logarithms in $\chi_{c0}$ and $\chi_{c2}$ decays to two…

For a finite loop $Q$, let $P (Q)$ be the set of elements that can be represented as a product containing each element of $Q$ precisely once. Motivated by the recent proof of the Hall-Paige conjecture, we prove several universal…

In this paper we study some Erdos type problems in discrete geometry. Our main result is that we show that there is a planar point set of n points such that no four are collinear but no matter how we choose a subset of size $n^{5/6+o(1)} $…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in general position on the plane. A set of closed convex polygons with vertices in $P$, and with pairwise disjoint interiors is called a convex decomposition of $P$ if their union is the convex hull of $P$,…

Generalizing some earlier techniques due to the second author, we show that Menas' theorem which states that the least cardinal kappa which is a measurable limit of supercompact or strongly compact cardinals is strongly compact but not…

We survey some results on counting the rational points of moduli spaces of quiver representations. We then make generalizations to Grassmannians and flags of quiver representations. These results have nice applications to the cluster…

In this paper, we prove that some renowned lower bounds in discrepancy theory admit a discrete analogue. Namely, we prove that the lower bound of the discrepancy for corners in the unit cube due to Roth holds true also for a suitable finite…

We will present a novel elementary, self-contained, and explicit proof of the local Kronecker-Weber theorem. Apart from discrete valuation theory, it does not make use of any tools beyond those introduced in a second undergraduate course on…
