Kim, K\"uhn, Osthus and Tyomkyn (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 371 (2019), 4655--4742) greatly extended the well-known blow-up lemma of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi by proving a `blow-up lemma for approximate decompositions' which states…
Reconstructing a density of states or similar distribution from moments or continued fractions is an important problem in calculating the electronic and vibrational structure of defective or non-crystalline solids. For single bands a…
Multiple wavelength phase shifting interferometry is widely used to extend the unambiguous range (UR) beyond that of a single wavelength. Towards this end, many algorithms have been developed to calculate the optical path difference (OPD)…
We consider the statistical motion of a convex rigid body in a gas of N smaller (spherical) atoms close to thermodynamic equilibrium. Because the rigid body is much bigger and heavier, it undergoes a lot of collisions leading to small…
By mapping steady-state nonequilibrium to an effective equilibrium, we formulate nonequilibrium problems within an equilibrium picture where we can apply existing equilibrium many-body techniques to steady-state electron transport problems.…
We generalize a theorem by Khalfin, originally derived for the states $| F_1 > = | M^0>$, $| F_2 > = |\bar M^0>$, where $M^0$ is a neutral flavoured meson (e.g., $K^0$ or $B_d^0$), by assuming CPT invariance. Dispensing with CPT invariance…
A recently proposed statistical model for the effects of decoherence on electron transport manifests a decoherence-driven transition from quantum-coherent localized to ohmic behavior when applied to the one-dimensional Anderson model. Here…
A closed analytic expression is given for the spectrum of low energy photons in the annihilation of orthopositronium, which expression sums all the effects of the Coulomb interaction between the electron and the positron. The applicability…
We define polygonal dynamics as a family of dynamical systems acting on points in projective spaces. The most famous example is the pentagram map. Similar collapsing phenomena seem to occur in most of these systems. We prove it in some…
In classical Hamiltonian theories, entropy may be understood either as a statistical property of canonical systems, or as a mechanical property, that is, as a monotonic function of the phase space along trajectories. In classical mechanics,…
Applying the enumeration of sparse set partitions, we show that the number of set systems H such that the emptyset is not in H, the total cardinality of edges in H is n, and the vertex set of H is {1, 2, ..., m}, equals (1/log(2)+o(1))^nb_n…
In spite of the widespread use of optical tweezers as a quantitative tool to measure small forces, there exists no unambiguous and simple experimental method for either validating its theoretically predicted form or empirically…
Orthogonal coordinate systems enable expressing the boundary conditions of differential equations in accord with the physical boundaries of the problem. It can significantly simplify calculations. The orthogonal similar oblate spheroidal…
We calculate the out-of-time-ordered correlation function (OTOC) of a single impurity qubit coupled to fully a connected many-particle system such as a bosonic Josephson junction or spins with long-range interactions. In these systems the…
A classical theorem of Wendroff shows that one may reconstructs a sequence of orthogonal polynomials on the real line from two non-constant polynomials of consecutive degrees whose zeros strictly interlace on the real line. In this note we…
The aim of this short note is to give a synthetic presentation of the mathematical elements that are used to solve the elastic wave system of equations in a bounded anisotropic elastic body, in a general framework. In particular, the proof…
We propose a many-particle-inspired theory for granular outflows from a hopper and for the escape dynamics through a bottleneck based on a continuity equation in polar coordinates. If the inflow is below the maximum outflow, we find an…
We show that monochromatic long-crested corrugations on an otherwise flat seafloor can coherently scatter the energy of an oblique incident internal wave to multiple multi-directional higher-mode waves via a series of resonant interactions.…
We explore some consequences of the crossing symmetry for defect conformal field theories, focusing on codimension one defects like flat boundaries or interfaces. We study surface transitions of the 3d Ising and other O(N) models through…
Consider a quantum system prepared in state $\psi$, a unit vector in a $d$-dimensional Hilbert space. Let $b_1,...,b_d$ be an orthonormal basis and suppose that, with some probability $0<p<1$, $\psi$ ``collapses,'' i.e., gets replaced by…
