We show that multiscaling properties of developed turbulence in shell models, which lead to anomalous scaling exponents in the inertial range, are determined exclusively by instanton dynamics. Instantons represent correlated extreme events…
Let $\mu$ be the self-avoiding walk connective constant on $\ZZ^d$. We show that the asymptotic expansion for $\beta_c=1/\mu$ in powers of $1/(2d)$ satisfies Borel type bounds. This supports the conjecture that the expansion is Borel…
It is shown that in a $\lambda \phi^4$ theory of one real scalar field with spontaneous breaking of symmetry a calculation of the amplitudes of production by a virtual field $\phi$ of $n$ on-mass-shell bosons all being exactly at rest is…
With the recent completion of NNNLO results, the perturbative description of the $\Upsilon$ system has reached a very high level of sophistication. We consider the non-perturbative corrections as an expansion in terms of local condensates,…
The partition function on the three-sphere of ABJM theory contains non-perturbative corrections which correspond to membrane instantons in M-theory. These corrections can be studied in the Fermi gas approach to the partition function, and…
We study the multi-instanton partition functions of the $\Omega$-deformed $\mathcal N =2^{*}$ $SU(2) $ gauge theory in the Nekrasov-Shatashvili (NS) limit. They depend on the deformation parameters $\epsilon_{1}$, the scalar field…
We consider the thermal undulation, or shape fluctuation, of an almost planar fluid membrane surrounded by the same near-critical binary fluid mixtures on both sides. A weak preferential attraction is assumed between the membrane and one…
We investigate why the Lyapunov exponents $\lambda$ of out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) satisfy a universal bound $\lambda < 2 \pi k_B T/{\hbar}$ by probing imaginary-time path-integral space using ring-polymer molecular dynamics…
We study the singularity structure of two-loop QED amplitudes for the production of multiple off-shell photons in massless electron-positron annihilation and develop counterterms that remove their infrared and ultraviolet divergences point…
A collection of thin structures buckle, bend, and bump into each-other when confined. This contact can lead to the formation of patterns: hair will self-organize in curls; DNA strands will layer into cell nuclei; paper, when crumpled, will…
The field of active matter explores the behaviors of self propelled agents out of equilibrium, with active suspensions, such as swimming bacteria in solutions, serving as impactful models. These systems exhibit spatio-temporal patterns akin…
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behaviour of plane partitions distributed according to a $q^{\text{Volume}}$-weighted Muttalib--Borodin ensemble and its associated discrete point process. We establish a Large Deviation Principle for…
Working in two space dimensions, we show that the orientational order emerging from self-propelled polar particles aligning nematically is quasi-long-ranged beyond $\ell_{\rm r}$, the scale associated to induced velocity reversals, which is…
The dimer problem arose in a thermodynamic study of diatomic molecules, and was abstracted into one of the most basic and natural problems in both statistical mechanics and combinatoric mathematics. Given a rectangular lattice of volume V…
Membranes in M-theory are expected to interact via splitting and joining processes. We study these effects in the pp-wave matrix model, in which they are associated with transitions between states in sectors built on vacua with different…
We study the operator product expansion (OPE) of the auxiliary scalar field \lambda(x) with itself, in the conformally invariant O(N) Vector Model for 2<d<4, to leading order in 1/N in a strip-like geometry with one finite dimension of…
We investigate the nodal volume of random hyperspherical harmonics $\lbrace T_{\ell;d}\rbrace_{\ell\in \mathbb N}$ on the $d$-dimensional unit sphere ($d\ge 2$). We exploit an orthogonal expansion in terms of Laguerre polynomials; this…
The ADHM construction is a very strong scheme to construct the instantons in four dimensions. We study an ADHM construction of instantons in $4n~(n\geq2)$ dimensions by generalizing this scheme. The higher-dimensional ADHM construction…
We study the steady state of an assembly of microtubules in a confined volume, analogous to the situation inside a cell where the cell boundary forms a natural barrier to growth. We show that the dynamical equations for growing and…
We calculate the exact autocorrelation exponent lambda and persistence exponent theta, and also amplitudes, in the dilute limit of phase ordering for dimensions d >= 2. In the Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner limit of conserved order parameter…
