Sondheimer oscillations (SO) are magnetoresistance oscillations occurring in thin films due to the commensurability between cyclotron motion and sample thickness, and are traditionally regarded as a purely semiclassical size effect. Here we…
We study a new family of models of the sine-Gordon type, starting from the sine-Gordon model, including the double sine-Gordon, the triple one, and so on. The models appears as deformations of the starting model, with the deformation…
We consider SU(N) Yang-Mills theories in 2n+1 Euclidean dimensions coupled to an even flavour-number of Dirac fermions. After integrating out the fermions the wave functional for the effective Yang-Mills theory inherits a non-trivial…
