We study the pair interaction on flat tori of functions whose Fourier coefficients are positive and decay sufficiently rapidly. In dimension one we find that the minimizer, up to translation, is the equidistant point set. In dimension two,…
At very low density, the electrons in a uniform electron gas spontaneously break symmetry and form a crystalline lattice called a Wigner crystal. But which type of crystal will the electrons form? We report a numerical study of the density…
We explore the ground-state properties of bosons with dipole-dipole interactions in a one-dimensional optical lattice. Remarkably, a crystallization process happens for strong dipolar interactions. Herein, we provide a detailed…
In this paper, we consider the one-dimensional interaction energy $\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathbb{R}}(W*\rho)(x)d\rho(x) + \int_{\mathbb{R}}U(x)d\rho(x)$ where the interaction potential $W(x)= -\frac{|x|^b}{b},\,1\le b \le 2$ and the external…
In this paper, we prove the existence of a crystallization transition for a family of hard-core particle models on periodic graphs in arbitrary dimensions. We establish a criterion under which crystallization occurs at sufficiently high…
We consider a three dimensional Wigner crystal of electrons lying in a host ionic dielectric. Owing to their interaction with the lattice polarization, each localized electron forms a polaron. We study the collective excitations of such a…
The competition between resonant optical excitation of Rydberg states of atoms and their strong, long-range van der Waals interaction results in spatial ordering of Rydberg excitations in a two-dimensional lattice gas, as observed in a…
In this article we describe the crystallization conjecture. It states that, in appropriate physical conditions, interacting particles always place themselves into periodic configurations, breaking thereby the natural translation-invariance…
We study magnetic geometries with Lifshitz and/or hyperscaling violation exponents (both with a hard wall cutoff in the IR and a smooth black brane horizon) which have a complex scalar field which couples to the magnetic field. The complex…
We propose and analyze a class of vectorial crystallization problems, with applications to crystallization of anisotropic molecules and collective behavior such as birds flocking and fish schooling. We focus on two-dimensional systems of…
Theoretically, the vortex melting phenomenon occurs at both low and high magnetic fields at a fixed temperature. While the high field melting has been extensively investigated in high Tc cuprates, the low field melting phenomena in the…
We study systems of $n$ points in the Euclidean space of dimension $d \ge 1$ interacting via a Riesz kernel $|x|^{-s}$ and confined by an external potential, in the regime where $d-2\le s<d$. We also treat the case of logarithmic…
This paper is concerned with the existence and mass concentration behavior of minimizers for rotating Bose-Einstein condensations (BECs) with attractive interactions in a bounded domain $\mathcal{D}\subset \mathbb{R}^2$. It is shown that,…
Using many-body configuration interaction techniques we show that Wigner crystallization occurs at the zigzag edges of graphene at surprisingly high electronic densities up to $0.8$ $\mbox{nm}^{-1}$. In contrast with one-dimensional…
We study analytically the dynamics of two-dimensional rectangular lattices with periodic boundary conditions. We consider anisotropic initial data supported on one low-frequency Fourier mode. We show that, in the continuous approximation,…
We study the constrained minimum energy problem with an external field relative to the $\alpha$-Riesz kernel $|x-y|^{\alpha-n}$ of order $\alpha\in(0,n)$ for a generalized condenser $\mathbf A=(A_i)_{i\in I}$ in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\geqslant…
In this paper, we study the existence and the concentration behavior of minimizers for $i_V(c)=\inf\limits_{u\in S_c}I_V(u)$, here $S_c=\{u\in H^1(\R^N)|~\int_{\R^N}V(x)|u|^2<+\infty,~|u|_2=c>0\}$ and…
A class of harmonic solutions to the steady Euler equations for incompressible fluids is presented in two dimensions in circular, elliptic and bipolar coordinates. Since the velocity field is solenoidal in this case, it can be written as…
We investigate the effect of mass anisotropy on the Wigner crystallization transition in a two-dimensional (2D) electron gas. The static and dynamical properties of a 2D Wigner crystal have been calculated for arbitrary 2D Bravais lattices…
We introduce a one-parameter family, $0 \leq H \leq 1$, of pair potential functions with a single relative energy minimum that stabilize a range of vacancy-riddled crystals as ground states. The "quintic potential" is a short-ranged,…
