We investigate the conditions under which particle multiplicities in high energy collisions are Boltzmann distributed, as is the case for hadron production in e^+e^-, pp, p-pbar and heavy ion collisions. We show that the apparent…

Magneto-quantum oscillation experiments in high temperature superconductors show a strong thermally-induced suppression of the oscillation amplitude approaching critical dopings---in support of a quantum critical origin of their phase…

We show that due to entanglement, quantum fluctuations may differ significantly from statistical fluctuations. We calculate quantum fluctuations of the particle number and of the energy in a sub-volume of a system of bosons in a pure state,…

In order to compare theoretical calculations of thermal fluctuations of conserved quantities, such as charge susceptibilities or the specific heat, to experimentally measured correlations and fluctuations in heavy ion collisions, one must…

We consider a scalar field (called $\phi$) which is very weakly coupled to thermal bath, and study the evolution of its number density. We use the Boltzmann equation derived from the Kadanoff-Baym equations, assuming that the degrees of…

Exponential suppression or commonly known as the Boltzmann suppression in the number density of dark matter is the key ingredient for creating chemical imbalance prior to the usual thermal freeze-out. A degenerate/quasi-degenerate dark…

Ultra-light dark matter (ULDM) refers to a class of theories, including ultra-light axions, in which particles with mass $m_{\psi} < 10^{-20}\, \rm{eV}$ comprise a significant fraction of the dark matter. A galactic scale de Broglie…

The electron vacuum fluctuations measured by $\cond$ do not vanish in an externally applied electric field $\calE$. For an exactly constant field, that is for vacuum fluctuations in presence of a constant accelerating force, we show that…

We present an analysis of cosmological models with mixed dark matter (spectrum slope of density perturbations $n_S \in [0.6, 1.6]$, hot dark matter abundance $\Omega_\nu \in [0.0, 0.6]$) in spatially flat Universe, based on Press-Schechter…

For equilibrium systems, the magnitude of thermal fluctuations is closely linked to the dissipative response to external perturbations. This fluctuation-dissipation relation has been described for material particles in a wide range of…

We study space-time fluctuations of a hard sphere system at thermal equilibrium, and prove that the covariance converges to the solution of a linearized Boltzmann equation in the low density limit, globally in time. This result has been…

The effects of thermal fluctuations of the mass (horizon area) and electric charge, on the entropy of non-rotating charged {\it macroscopic} black holes, are analyzed using a grand canonical ensemble. Restricting to Gaussian fluctuations…
