Stable assemblages of localized vortices exist which have particle-like properties, such as mass, and which can interact with one another when they closely approach. In this article I calculate the mass of these localized states and…
The manner in which continuum center vortices generate topological charge density is elucidated using an explicit example. The example vortex world-surface contains one lone self-intersection point, which contributes a quantum 1/2 to the…
The first-order general relativistic theory of a generic dissipative (heat-conducting, viscous, particle-creating) fluid is rediscussed from a unified covariant frame-independent point of view. By generalizing some previous works in the…
We consider a chemotaxis-fluid system in the whole plane $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ which describes the motion of bacteria suspended in a Navier-Stokes fluid and attracted by a chemical (oxygen). Employing the vorticity formulation for the fluid…
The first lattice QCD numerical study of heavy quark-quark potentials at finite temperature is reported. Using the quenched approximation, we evaluate the color anti-symmetric and symmetric potentials.
We study the time evolution of the logarithmic negativity after a global quantum quench. In a 1+1 dimensional conformal invariant field theory, we consider the negativity between two intervals which can be either adjacent or disjoint. We…
We study the equilibrium states of a vortex in a Bose-Einstein condensate in a one-dimensional optical lattice. We find that quantum effects can be important and that it is even possible for the vortex to be strongly squeezed, which…
In a recent experiment, Kwon et. al (arXiv:1403.4658 [cond-mat.quant-gas]) generated a disordered state of quantum vortices by translating an oblate Bose-Einstein condensate past a laser-induced obstacle and studying the subsequent decay of…
We build a minimal model of dissipative vortex dynamics in two spatial dimensions, subject to a kinematic constraint: dipole conservation. The additional conservation law implies anomalously slow decay rates for vortices. We argue that this…
Superfluidity and superconductivity are remarkable manifestations of quantum coherence at a macroscopic scale. The dynamics of superfluids has dominated the study of these systems for decades now, but a comprehensive theoretical framework…
We investigate the spectrum of linearized excitations of global vortices in $2+1$ dimensions. After identifying the existence of localized excitation modes, we compute the decay time scale of the first two and compare the results to the…
Neutron stars are supposed to be mainly formed by a neutron superfluid. The angular momentum is given by the vortex array within the fluid, and a good account of the observable effects is determined by its coupling with the crust. In this…
When a quantum many-body system undergoes a quench, the time-averaged density-matrix $\rho$ governs the time-averaged expectation value of any observable. It is therefore the key object to look at when comparing results with equilibrium…
We derive a formula for the entropy of two dimensional incompressible inviscid flow, by determining the volume of the space of vorticity distributions with fixed values for the moments Q_k= \int_w(x)^k d^2 x. This space is approximated by a…
This work characterises the starting vortex and unsteady shear layer generated by an impulsively started National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics 0010 (NACA 0010) airfoil at angles of attack ranging from 3 degrees- 7 degrees.…
The production of quantized vortices having diverse structures is a remarkable effect of rotating Bose-Einstein condensates. Vortex formation described by the mean-field theory is valid only in the regime of weak interactions. The…
We compute the gravitational waveform produced by cosmic superstring reconnections. This is done by first constructing the superstring reconnection trajectory, which closely resembles that of classical, instantaneous reconnection but with…
At high temperatures, gravitinos are generated in inelastic scattering processes with particles that are in thermal equilibrium with the hot primordial plasma. We consider the regeneration of gravitinos that starts with completion of…
Vorticity is ubiquitous in nature however, to date, studies of vorticity in cosmology and the early universe have been quite rare. In this paper, based on a talk in session CM1 of the 13th Marcel Grossmann Meeting, we consider vorticity…
After a brief explanation of the concept of a vorton, quantitative estimates of the vorton population that would be produced in various cosmic string scenarios are reviewed. Attention is drawn to previously unconsidered mechanisms that…
