The ubiquitous clumpy state of the ISM raises a fundamental and open problem of physics, which is the correct statistical treatment of systems dominated by long range interactions. A simple solvable hierarchical model is presented which…

We examine the scaling of the inverse participation ratio of spin coherent states in the energy basis of three collective spin systems: a bounded harmonic oscillator, the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model, and the Quantum Kicked Top. The…

The information in an individual finite object (like a binary string) is commonly measured by its Kolmogorov complexity. One can divide that information into two parts: the information accounting for the useful regularity present in the…

Information geometry provides a tool to systematically investigate parameter sensitivity of the state of a system. If a physical system is described by a linear combination of eigenstates of a complex (that is, non-Hermitian) Hamiltonian,…

We study {\it permeable} sets. These are sets \(\Theta \subset \mathbb{R}^d\) which have the property that each two points \(x,y\in \mathbb{R}^d\) can be connected by a short path \(\gamma\) which has small (or even empty, apart from the…

The question of how irreversibility can emerge as a generic phenomena when the underlying mechanical theory is reversible has been a long-standing fundamental problem for both classical and quantum mechanics. We describe a mechanism for the…

A physical field has an infinite number of degrees of freedom since it has a field value at each location of a continuous space. Therefore, it is impossible to know a field from finite measurements alone and prior information on the field…
