For a large class of field theories there exist portions of parameter space for which the loop expansion predicts increased symmetry breaking at high temperature. Even though this behavior would clearly have far reaching implications for…
We consider the detailed structure of correlations in harmonic chains with pinning and a bulk velocity flip noise during the heat relaxation phase which occurs on diffusive time scales, for $t=O(L^2)$ where $L$ is the chain length. It has…
We give a Wong-Zakai type characterisation of the solutions of quasilinear heat equations driven by space-time white noise in $1+1$ dimensions. In order to show that the renormalisation counterterms are local in the solution, a careful…
Circadian rhythms are biological rhythms of approximately 24 h that persist even under constant conditions without environmental daily cues. The molecular circadian clock machinery generates the physiological rhythms, which can be…
Low-energy effective theories have been used very successfully to study the low-energy limit of QCD, providing us with results for a plethora of phenomena, ranging from bound-state formation to phase transitions in QCD. These theories are…
The importance of implementing a proper regularization procedure in order to treat thermo and magnetic contributions within nonrenormalizable theories is investigated. Our study suggests that potential divergences should be isolated into…
In this paper, we propose a globally hyperbolic regularization to the general Grad's moment system in multi-dimensional spaces. Systems with moments up to an arbitrary order are studied. The characteristic speeds of the regularized moment…
Daylight plays a major role in the wake/sleep cycle in humans. Indeed, the wake/sleep system stems from biological systems that follow a circadian rhythm determined by the light/dark alternation. The oscillations can be modeled by the…
A perturbative renormalization group approach is employed to study the effect of a periodic potential on a system of one-dimensional bosons in a non-equilibrium steady-state due to an initial interaction quench. The renormalization group…
Many biological processes display oscillatory behavior based on an approximately 24 hour internal timing system specific to each individual. One process of particular interest is gene expression, for which several circadian transcriptomic…
We study the effective parameters of QED near decoupling temperatures and show that the QED perturbative series is convergent, at temperatures below the decoupling temperature. The renormalization constant of QED acquires different values…
The mammalian circadian system comprises a network of cell-autonomous oscillators, spanning from the central clock in the brain to peripheral clocks in other organs. These clocks are tightly coordinated to orchestrate rhythmic physiological…
Synchronization is an important dynamical phenomenon in coupled nonlinear systems, which has been studied extensively in recent years. However, analysis focused on individual orbits seems hard to extend to complex systems while a global…
The Kuramoto phase diffusion equation is a nonlinear partial differential equation which describes the spatio-temporal evolution of a phase variable in an oscillatory reaction diffusion system. Synchronization manifests itself in a…
We identify the universal mechanism behind the thermalization of (1+1)d QFTs at high and low temperatures. Viewing these theories as CFTs perturbed by relevant or irrelevant deformations, we show that conformal perturbation theory in the…
We discuss the use of a Langevin equation with a colored (correlated) noise to perform constant-temperature molecular dynamics simulations. Since the equations of motion are linear in nature, it is easy to predict the response of a…
Rhythmic data are ubiquitous in the life sciences. Biologists need reliable statistical tests to identify whether a particular experimental treatment has caused a significant change in a rhythmic signal. When these signals display…
We calculate the finite-temperature shift of the critical wavevector $Q_{c}$ of the Pokrovsky-Talapov model using a renormalization-group analysis. Separating the Hamiltonian into a part that is renormalized and one that is not, we obtain…
We study the long-term behaviour of solutions to a one-dimensional coupled wave-heat system with Coleman-Gurtin thermal law. Our approach is based on the asymptotic theory of $C_0$-semigroups and recent results developed for coupled control…
Circadian (~24hr) clocks are self-sustained endogenous oscillators with which organisms keep track of daily and seasonal time. Circadian clocks frequently rely on interlocked transcriptional- translational feedback loops to generate rhythms…
