We introduce the idea of weakly coherent collisional models, where the elements of an environment interacting with a system of interest are prepared in states that are approximately thermal, but have an amount of coherence proportional to a…

We present a formalism for strongly correlated electrons systems which consists in a local approximation of the dynamical three-leg interaction vertex. This vertex is self-consistently computed with a quantum impurity model with dynamical…

In earlier work we provided the first evidence that the collapse, or coil-globule, transition of an isolated polymer in solution can be seen in a four-dimensional model. Here we investigate, via Monte Carlo simulations, the canonical…

Solutions of interacting linear polymers are mapped onto a system of ``soft'' spherical particles interacting via an effective pair potential. This coarse-graining reduces the individual monomer-level description to a problem involving only…

We present results of the study of the non-monotonous behavior of the Lifshitz line as a function of temperature in ternary homopolymer/diblock-copolymer mixtures. The non-monotonous behavior of the Lifshitz line is due to the wave vector…
