We analyse the finite-size corrections to the free energy of crystals with a fixed center of mass. When we explicitly correct for the leading ($\ln N/N$) corrections, the remaining free energy is found to depend linearly on 1/N.…

We consider the dynamics of a quantum scalar field in the background of a slow-roll inflating Universe. We compute the one-loop quantum corrections to the field and Friedmann equation of motion, in both a 1PI and a 2PI expansion, to leading…
We provide exact expressions for the electrostatic energy of uniformly-charged prolate and oblate spheroidal shells. We find that uniformly-charged prolate spheroids of eccentricity greater than 0.9 have lower Coulomb energy than a sphere…

The energy correction associated with the self-energy diagram is the leading (in magnitude) and fundamental (in significance) contribution to the Lamb shift in highly charged ions. Conventional approaches to this correction rely on…
Coulomb systems in which the particles interact through the $d$-dimensional Coulomb potential but are confined in a flat manifold of dimension $d - 1$ are considered. The Coulomb potential is defined with some boundary condition involving a…
The momentum space zero-range model is used to investigate universal properties of three interacting particles confined to two dimensions. The pertinent equations are first formulated for a system of two identical and one distinct particle…
One reason that free energy difference calculations are notoriously difficult in molecular systems is due to insufficient conformational overlap, or similarity, between the two states or systems of interest. The degree of overlap is…
We investigate a one-parameter family of Coulomb gases in two dimensions, which are confined to an ellipse, due to a hard wall constraint, and are subject to an additional external potential. At inverse temperature $\beta=2$ we can use the…
We prove that at all positive temperatures in the bulk of a classical two-dimensional one-component plasma (also called Coulomb or log-gas, or jellium) the variance of the number of particles in large disks grows (strictly) more slowly than…
The two-dimensional one-component logarithmic Coulomb gas is mapped onto a non-hermitian fermionic field theory. At $\beta=2$, the field theory is free. Correlation functions are calculated and a perturbation theory is discussed for…

The moving neutral system of two Coulomb charges on a plane subject to a constant magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to the plane is considered. It is shown that the composite system of finite total mass is bound for any center-of-mass…
A two-dimension self-similar solution is proposed for a plasma expansion with anisotropic pressure. With the solution, it depends on the relationship between the ratio of the longitudinal and the transverse temperature of the plasma,…
The free energy at zero temperature of Coulomb gas systems in generic dimension is considered as a function of a volume constraint. The transition between the 'pulled' and the 'pushed' phases is characterised as a third-order phase…
We compute the universal generic corrections to the inflationary power spectrum due to unknown high-energy physics. We arrive at this result via a careful integrating out of massive fields in the "in-in" formalism yielding a consistent and…
We discuss $1/Q$ corrections to hard processes in QCD where $Q$ is a large mass parameter like the total energy in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. The main problem we address ourselves to is whether these corrections to different processes…
