A nanowire with its two ends fixed at two different temperatures by external baths is the simplest example of a fermionic system with a temperature inhomogeneity, and could be an easy platform to study thermodynamic and transport properties…

The counting of the number of light modes in a gravitational theory is captured by the notion of the `species scale', which serves as an effective UV cutoff below the Planck scale. We propose to define a moduli-dependent species scale in…

We study the behaviour of the two- and three-point thermal Green functions, to one loop order in noncommutative U(N) Yang-Mills theory, at temperatures $T$ much higher than the external momenta $p$. We evaluate the amplitudes for small and…
We study the statistical properties of the sum $S_t=\int_{0}^{t}dt' \sigma_{t'}$, that is the difference of time spent positive or negative by the spin $\sigma_{t}$, located at a given site of a $D$-dimensional Ising model evolving under…
Effects of explicit temperature dependence in the exchange-correlation (XC) free-energy functional upon calculated properties of matter in the warm dense regime are investigated. The comparison is between the KSDT finite-temperature local…

As a consequence of greenhouse forcing, all state of the art general circulation models predict a positive temperature trend that is greater for the troposphere than the surface. This predicted positive trend increases in value with…
Particles are heated efficiently through energy conversion processes such as shocks and magnetic reconnection in collisionless plasma environments. While empirical scaling laws for the temperature increase have been obtained, the precise…
We present a theory to study the temperature-dependent behavior of surface states in a ferromagnetic semi-infinite crystal. Our approach is based on the single-site approximation for the \emph{s-f} model. The effect of the semi-infinite…

We discuss the observable-dependence of the effective temperature $T_{eff}$, defined via the fluctuation-dissipation relation, of an out-of-equilibrium system composed by homonuclear dumbbell molecules. $T_{eff}$ is calculated by evaluating…
Axions coupled to thermal non-Abelian gauge fields may have cosmological significance. As the heat bath defines a frame, its influence depends separately on energy and momentum. A light-like momentum ($k \approx \omega$) is relevant for the…
Effective-field-theory methods are used to study the high T limit of QCD. These methods unravel the contributions to the free energy of QCD at high temperature from the scales T, gT, and g^2 T. The free energy is explicitly computed to…
