We investigate the entanglement entropy in quantum states featuring repeated sequential excitations of unit patterns in momentum space. In the scaling limit, each unit pattern contributes independently and universally to the entanglement…
A well-known property of unordered configuration spaces of points (in an open, connected manifold) is that their homology stabilises as the number of points increases. We generalise this result to moduli spaces of submanifolds of higher…
We review, critique, and extend results related to the problem of closed loop shape equilibria of a string shooter, a type of catenary consisting of steady, axially moving configurations of an inertial, inextensible, perfectly flexible…
We analyze the asymptotic convergence of all infinite products of matrices taken in a given finite set, by looking only at finite or periodic products. It is known that when the matrices of the set have a common nonincreasing polyhedral…
The stability radius for finitely many interconnected linear exponentially stable well-posed systems with respect to static perturbations is studied. If the output space of each system is finite-dimensional, then a lower bound for the…
Stabilization is still a somewhat controversial issue concerning its very existence and also the precise conditions for its occurrence. The key quantity to settle these questions is the ionization probability, for which hitherto no…
We investigate the conformations of a semiflexible polymer confined to a square box. Results of Monte Carlo simulations show the existence of a shape transition when the persistence length of the polymer becomes comparable to the dimensions…
We consider the problem of choosing Euclidean points to maximize the sum of their weighted pairwise distances, when each point is constrained to a ball centered at the origin. We derive a dual minimization problem and show strong duality…
When a linear order has an order preserving surjection onto each of its suborders we say that it is strongly surjective. We prove that the set of countable strongly surjective linear orders is complete for the class of sets which are the…
We consider the ground state of a one-dimensional critical quantum system carrying a global symmetry in the bulk, which is explicitly broken by its boundary conditions. We probe the system via a string-order parameter, showing how it…
We analyze the problem of packing squares in an online fashion: Given a semi-infinite strip of width 1 and an unknown sequence of squares of side length in [0,1] that arrive from above, one at a time. The objective is to pack these items as…
We show how to decompose all separable ultrametric spaces into a "Lego" combinations of scaled versions of full simplices. To do this we introduce metric resolutions of large scale metric spaces, which describe how a space can be broken up…
It is well-known that a metric space $(X, d)$ is complete iff the set $X$ is closed in every metric superspace of $(X, d)$. For a given pseudometric space $(Y, \rho)$, we describe the maximal class $\mathbf{CEC}(Y, \rho)$ of superspaces of…
In this paper we investigate gravitationally bound, spherically symmetric equilibrium configurations consisting of ordinary (polytropic) matter nonminimally coupled to an external chameleon scalar field. We show that this system has static,…
We discuss the finite size behaviour in the canonical ensemble of the balls in boxes model. We compare theoretical predictions and numerical results for the finite size scaling of cumulants of the energy distribution in the canonical…
We study the classification of ultrametric spaces based on their small scale geometry (uniform homeomorphism), large scale geometry (coarse equivalence) and both (all scale uniform equivalences). We prove that these equivalences can be…
In this article, we introduce a new type of mapping contracting perimeters of triangles in a complete metric space and present related fixed point theorem. We study the metric completeness property of the underlying space in terms of fixed…
In this paper, we study movements of simple polygonal chains in 3D. We say that an open, simple polygonal chain can be straightened if it can be continuously reconfigured to a straight sequence of segments in such a manner that both the…
We study a random partial covering model on the $(d-1)$-dimensional unit sphere, where $N$ spherical caps are placed independently and uniformly at random, each covering a surface fraction of $1/N$. This model provides a continuous…
We calculate universal finite-size scaling functions for systems with an n-component order parameter and algebraically decaying interactions. Just as previously has been found for short-range interactions, this leads to a singular…
