We consider classical nonlinear oscillators on hexagonal lattices. When the coupling between the elements is repulsive, we observe coexisting states, each one with its own basin of attraction. These states differ by their degree of…
We study the average density of resonances, $<\rho(x,y)>$, in a semi-infinite disordered chain coupled to a perfect lead. The function $<\rho(x,y)>$ is defined in the complex energy plane and the distance $y$ from the real axes determines…
Electronic properties of disordered binary alloys are studied via the calculation of the average Density of States (DOS) in two and three dimensions. We propose a new approximate scheme that allows for the inclusion of local order effects…
We investigate the effect of quenched bond-disorder on the anisotropic spin-1/2 (XXZ) chain as a model for disorder induced quantum phase transitions. We find non-universal behavior of the average correlation functions for weak disorder,…
Bosons in one dimension display a phenomenon called quasi-condensation, where correlations decay in a powerlaw fashion. We study the fate of quasi-condensation in the non-equilibrium steady-state of a chain of hard-core bosons coupled to…

Due to coherent superradiant amplification, massive bosonic fields can trigger an instability in spinning black holes, tapping their energy and angular momentum and forming macroscopic Bose-Einstein condensates around them. This phenomenon…
We study the non-equilibrium evolution of binary Bose-Einstein condensates in the presence of weak random potential with a Gaussian correlation function using the time-dependent perturbation theory. We apply this theory to construct a…
We examine a 2DOF Hamiltonian system, which arises in study of first-order mean motion resonance in spatial circular restricted three-body problem "star-planet-asteroid", and point out some mechanisms of chaos generation. Phase variables of…
We investigate the dynamics of the spin-boson model when the spectral density of the boson bath shows a resonance at a characteristic frequency $\Omega$ but behaves Ohmically at small frequencies. The time evolution of an initial state is…

Our understanding of phases of matter relies on symmetry breaking, one example being water ice whose crystalline structure breaks the continuous translation symmetry of space. Recently, breaking of time translation symmetry was observed in…
