We study non-perturbative effects in four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric orientifold compactifications due to D-brane instantons which are generically not invariant under the orientifold projection. We show that they can yield…
Several ways to reduce to a first order ODE the non-linear PDE's governing the relativistic motion of an axially symmetric membrane in 4 space time dimensions, as well as examples for a previously found non-trivial transformation generating…
Multicanonical ensemble simulations for the simulation of first-order phase transitions suffer from exponential slowing down. Monte Carlo autocorrelation times diverge exponentially with free energy barriers $\Delta F$, which in $L^d$ boxes…

In this second paper on quantum fluctuations near the classical instanton configurations, see {\em Phys. Rev. D \bf 92}, 025046 (2015) and arXiv:1501.03993, we focus on another well studied quantum-mechanical problem, the one-dimensional…
The construction of a solution of the perturbed KdV equation encounters obstacles to asymptotic integrability beyond the first order, when the zero-order approximation is a multiple-soliton wave. In the standard analysis, the obstacles lead…
In chaotic dynamical systems, an infinitesimal perturbation is exponentially amplified at a time-rate given by the inverse of the maximum Lyapunov exponent $\lambda$. In fully developed turbulence, $\lambda$ grows as a power of the Reynolds…

We consider a one-dimensional, weakly asymmetric, boundary driven exclusion process on the interval $[0,N]\cap Z$ in the super-diffusive time scale $N^2 \epsilon^{-1}_N$, where $1\ll \epsilon^{-1}_N \ll N^{1/4}$. We assume that the external…
