We studied parity-time (PT) symmetric trimer systems that feature open and closed boundaries. The exceptional point is three-state coalescence at zero energy because of chiral symmetry in the open trimer; however, two-state coalescence…
We present Monte Carlo simulations in a modification of the north-or-east-or-front model recently investigated by Berthier and Garrahan [J. Phys. Chem. B 109, 3578 (2005)]. In this coarse-grained model for relaxation in supercooled liquids,…
Stretched polymers with attractive interaction are studied in two and three dimensions. They are described by biased self-avoiding random walks with nearest neighbour attraction. The bias corresponds to opposite forces applied to the first…
