Domains of condensed-phase monolayers of chiral molecules exhibit a variety of interesting nonequilibrium structures when formed via pressurization. To model these domain patterns, we add a complex field describing the tilt degree of…
We simulate Lattice QED in a constant external magnetic field using the RHMC algorithm. We seek evidence for chiral symmetry breaking predicted by truncated Schwinger-Dyson methods. Since the predicted values of the dynamical electron mass…
We study a coupled system of two parabolic equations in one space dimension. This system is singular because of the presence of one term with the inverse of the gradient of the solution. Our system describes an approximate model of the…
We generalize our previous 2-dimensional model in which a pairing condensate psi-psi was generated at large N. In the present case, we allow for both psi-psi and a chiral condensate psibar-psi to exist. We construct the effective potential…
Based on a mesoscopic theory we investigate the non-equilibrium dynamics of a sheared nematic liquid, with the control parameter being the shear stress $\sigma_{\mathrm{xy}}$ (rather than the usual shear rate, $\dot\gamma$). To this end we…
We study the dynamics of a dilute spherical model with two body interactions and random exchanges. We analyze the Langevin equations and we introduce a functional variational method to study generic dilute disordered models. A crossover…
We present results from MiniMax (Fermilab T-864), a small test/experiment at the Tevatron designed to search for the production of disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) in $p - \bar p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.8$ TeV in the forward…
The chiral phase transition at a certain critical temperature is a restoration mechanism of the chiral symmetry, broken by the nonzero mass of quarks and mesons. The transition can be studied through several models, among which are the…
We study the production of photons through the non-equilibrium relaxation of a disoriented chiral condensate. We propose that to search for non-equilibrium photons in the direct photon measurements of heavy-ion collisions can be a potential…
Active hydrodynamic theories are a powerful tool to study the emergent ordered phases of internally driven particles such as bird flocks, bacterial suspension and their artificial analogues. While theories of orientationally ordered phases…
Chiral symmetry is an essential concept in understanding QCD at low energy. We treat the chiral condensate, which measures the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry, as a free parameter to investigate the effect of partially restored…
We extend Chiral Perturbation Theory to study a meson gas out of thermal equilibrium. We assume that the system is initially in equilibrium at a temperature below the phase transition and work within a Schwinger-Keldysh contour technique.…
We investigate the chiral dynamics of gauge theories developing an infrared stable fixed point. We determine the dependence of the bilinear fermion condensate on the underlying fermion mass and its anomalous dimension. We introduce the…
The dynamical evolution of small systems undergoing a chiral symmetry breaking transition in the course of rapid expansion is discussed. The time evolution of the dynamical correlation length for trajectories passing through a second-order…
In this paper the dynamics of the classical chiral $QCD_{2}$ currents is studied. We describe how the dynamics of the theory can be summarized in an equation of the Lax form, thereby demonstrating the existence of an infinite set of…
A simple model of a circularly closed dsDNA in a poor solvent is considered as an example of a semi-flexible polymer with self-attraction. To find the ground states, the conformational energy is computed as a sum of the bending and…
We theoretically investigate the flow of the atomic excitations in a driven chiral-coupled atomic chain with nonreciprocal decay channels. This one-dimensional system allows infinite-range dipole-dipole interaction, and enables directional…
We study the dissipation of the centre of mass oscillation of a harmonically confined condensate in the presence of a disorder potential. An extension of the Generalized Harmonic Theorem allows one to formulate the dynamics from the point…
A model for the development of turbulent shear flows, created by non-uniform parallel flows in a confining channel, is used to identify the diffuser shape that maximises pressure recovery when the inflow is non-uniform. Wide diffuser angles…
We show that the variance in the number of charged pions (in a suitable range of momentum space) provides a signature for the observation of a disoriented chiral condensate (D$\chi$C). The signal should be observable even if multiple…
