Low mass, self-gravitating accretion disks admit quasi-steady,`gravito-turbulent' states in which cooling balances turbulent viscous heating. However, numerical simulations show that gravito-turbulence cannot be sustained beyond dynamical…

We posit that accreting compact objects, including stellar mass black holes and neutron stars as well as supermassive black holes, may undergo extended periods of accretion during which the angular momentum of the disk at large scales is…

The possibility of subcritical behaviour in the geostrophic turbulence regime of rapidly rotating thermally driven convection is explored. In this regime a non-local inverse energy transfer may compete with the more traditional and local…

We compare theoretical and simulation results for static and dynamic properties for a model of particles interacting via a spherically symmetric repulsive ramp potential. The model displays anomalies similar to those found in liquid water,…

It was predicted and recently experimentally confirmed that systems with microscopically reversible dynamics in locally quadratic potentials warm up faster than they cool down. This thermal relaxation asymmetry challenged the…

Radiatively-driven transfer flow perpendicular to a luminous disk is examined in the subrelativistic regime of $(v/c)^1$, taking into account the gravity of the central object. The flow is assumed to be vertical, and the gas pressure is…

We present the simplest model that permits a largely analytical exploration of the m=1 counter-rotating instability in a "hot" nearly Keplerian disc of collisionless self-gravitating matter. The model consists of a two-component softened…

We perform local numerical experiments to investigate the nonlinear stability of thin, radially-stratified disks. We demonstrate the presence of radial convective instability when the disk is nearly in uniform rotation, and show that the…

The variational calculation of the two-electron reduced density matrix (2-RDM) is extended to periodic molecular systems. If the 2-RDM theory is extended to the periodic case without consideration of time-reversal symmetry, however, it can…

In the classic picture of standard thin accretion disks, the viscous heating is balanced by the radiative cooling through the diffusion process, and the radiation-pressure-dominated inner disk suffers convective instability. However, recent…
