We present a semiclassical theory of shot noise in diffusive superconductor - normal metal contacts. At subgap voltages, we reproduce the doubling of shot noise with respect to conventional normal-metal contacts, which is interpreted in…
We consider the interplay of linear double-well-potential (DWP) structures and nonlinear longrange interactions of different types, motivated by applications to nonlinear optics and matter waves. We find that, while the basic…
We use an averaging approach to prove bifurcation of asymptotically stable periodic solutions in a bi-linear oscillator whose one spring has nearly infinite stiffness. This leads to a singularly perturbed problem where the classical theory…
We study semiclassical states of the nonlinear Dirac equation \[ -i\hbar\partial_t\psi = ic\hbar\sum_{k=1}^3\alpha_k\partial_k\psi - mc^2\beta \psi - M(x)\psi + f(|\psi|)\psi,\quad t\in\mathbb{R},\ x\in\mathbb{R}^3, \] where $V$ is a…
We consider the Saintillan--Shelley kinetic model of active rodlike particles in Stokes flow (Saintillan & Shelley 2008a,b), for which the uniform, isotropic suspension of pusher particles is known to be unstable in certain settings.…

We present a reformulation of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in the maximal Abelian gauge, where the non-Abelian gauge field components are exactly integrated out at the expense of a new Abelian tensor field. The latter can be treated in a…
We employ perturbative RG and $\epsilon$-expansion to study multi-critical single-scalar field theories with higher derivative kinetic terms of the form $\phi(-\Box)^k\phi$. We focus on those with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric critical point…
We investigate the interplay between coherent effects characteristic of the propagation of linear waves, the non-linear effects due to interactions, and the quantum manifestations of classical chaos due to geometrical confinement, as they…
We review various semiclassical models for strong-field physics. These semiclassical models employ ensembles of classical trajectories to simulate electron motion in the continuum after being released from an atom or molecule by an external…
Modified scattering phenomena are encountered in the study of global properties for nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations in situations where the decay of solutions at infinity is borderline and scattering fails just barely.…
The Riemann-Hilbert problem associated with the integrable PDE is used as a nonlinear transformation of the nearly integrable PDE to the spectral space. The temporal evolution of the spectral data is derived with account for arbitrary…
Inspired by the relation between the hadronic decay of the tau lepton and the electron-positron annihilation into hadrons, we derive new tests of perturbative QCD. We design a set of commensurate scale relations to test the self-consistency…
A long-standing problem in primordial cosmology is to understand the precise relation between the stochastic formalism and standard perturbation theory for light scalar fields in inflationary spacetimes. A complete correspondence between…
A new scheme of the iterative perturbation theory is proposed for the strongly correlated electron systems with orbital degeneracy. The method is based on the modified self-energy of Yeyati, et al. which interpolates between the weak and…

The theory of Gaussian quantum fluctuations around classical steady states in nonlinear quantum-optical systems (also known as standard linearization) is a cornerstone for the analysis of such systems. Its simplicity, together with its…
