The heavy quark expansion of Quantum Chromodynamics and the strong coupling flux tube picture of nonperturbative glue are employed to develop the phenomenology of hybrid meson decays. The decay mechanism explicitly couples gluonic degrees…
A number of authors have considered potential models for hybrid mesons. These frequently involve approximating the vibrating flux-tube by a set of beads, and making an adiabatic approximation which gives rise to a static inter-quark…
Hybrid baryon states are described in quark potential models as having explicit excitation of the gluon degrees of freedom. Such states are described in a model motivated by the strong coupling limit of Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory,…
We introduce strong interaction selection rules for the two-body decay and production of hybrid and conventional mesons coupling to two S-wave hybrid or conventional mesons. The rules arise from symmetrization in states in the limit of…
Synthetic nanoscale complexes capable of mechanical movement are often studied theoretically using discrete-state models that involve instantaneous transitions between metastable states. A number of general results have been derived within…
We construct baryons and hybrid baryons in the non-relativistic flux-tube model of Isgur and Paton. The motion of the flux-tube with the three quark positions fixed, except for centre of mass corrections, is discussed. It is shown that the…
When an ensemble of particles interact hydrodynamically, they generically display large-scale transient structures such as swirls in sedimenting particles [1], or colloidal strings in sheared suspensions [2]. Understanding these…
Diffraction phenomena usually can be formulated in terms of a potential that induces the redistribution of a wave's momentum. Using an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate coupled to the orbitals of a state-selective optical lattice, we…
We demonstrate that a quiet state and large-amplitude self-sustained oscillations can co-exist in a carbon nanotube subject to time-independent drive. A feature of the bistability is that it would be hysteresis-free in the absence of noise…
A dynamical model of confinement based on a microscopic transport description of the Friedberg-Lee model is extended to explicit color degrees of freedom. The string tension is reproduced by an adiabatic string formation from the nucleon…
It has become traditional to assume that the Dirac structure of the phenomenological quark confinement potential is scalar $\otimes$ scalar. We use the heavy quark expansion of the Coulomb gauge QCD Hamiltonian and the Flux Tube model to…

We study the mixing of excited states of a Hydrogen atom in a cavity with de-excited states plus a confined photon as a model for the coupling of quark-antiquark and quark-antiquark-gluon hybrid states in QCD. For an interesting range of…
Hybrid models of chemotaxis combine agent-based models of cells with partial differential equation models of extracellular chemical signals. In this paper, travelling wave properties of hybrid models of bacterial chemotaxis are…
We use magnetic flux-tubes to stabilize zero-energy modes in a lattice realization of a 2-dimensional superconductor from class D of classification table of topological condensed matter systems. The zero modes are exchanged by slowly…
Liquid-gas phase coexistence in a boundary-driven diffusive system is studied by analyzing fluctuating hydrodynamics of a density field defined on a one-dimensional lattice with a space interval $\Lambda$. When an interface width $\ell$ is…
We analyse biased ensembles of trajectories for diffusive systems. In trajectories biased either by the total activity or the total current, we use fluctuating hydrodynamics to show that these systems exhibit phase transtions into…
The status of conventional baryon flux-tubes and hybrid baryons is reviewed. Recent surprises are that a model prediction indicates that hybrid baryons are very weakly produced in glue-rich Psi decays, and an analysis of electro-production…
While equilibrium interfaces display universal large-scale statistics, interfaces in phase-separated active and driven systems are predicted to belong to distinct non-equilibrium universality classes. Yet, such behavior has proven difficult…
Cloaking effects have now been identified in almost every field of physics. In all cases, substrate-carved metamaterials make the reshaping of the concealed volume impossible. In fluids, recognizing that d'Alembert's paradox describes in…
