We compute the exact finite temperature effective action in a 0+1-dimensional field theory containing a topological Chern-Simons term, which has many features in common with 2+1-dimensional Chern-Simons theories. This exact result explains…
We extend the approach of Aizenman, Sims and Starr for the SK-type models to their spherical versions. Such an extension has already been performed for diluted spin glasses. The factorization property of the optimal structures found by…
Quantum phenomena such as vacuum polarisation in curved spacetime induce interactions between photons and gravity with quite striking consequences, including the violation of the strong equivalence principle and the apparent prediction of…
We consider perturbations of Minkowski space as well as more general spacetimes on which the wave operator $\square_g$ is known to be essentially self-adjoint. We define complex powers $(\square_g-i\varepsilon)^{-\alpha}$ by functional…
We obtain a variety of predictions for the properties of population-imbalanced (or polarized) fermionic superfluids near their tricritical point. In the vicinity of the high-symmetry tricritical point, observable quantities such as the…
The robustness of translating effective operator constraints to BSM theories crucially depends on the mass and coupling of BSM particles. This is especially relevant for hadron colliders where the partonic centre of mass energy is around…
A new Skyrme functional including tensor terms is presented. The tensor terms have been determined by fitting the results of relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (RBHF) studies on neutron-proton drops. Unlike all previous studies, where the…
We pursue further an approach to lattice chiral fermions in which the fermions are treated in the continuum. To render the effective action gauge invariant, counterterms have to be introduced. We determine the counterterms for smooth gauge…
In this paper we continue and improve the analysis of the effective actions obtained by integrating out a scalar and a fermion field coupled to external symmetric sources, started in the previous paper. The first subject we study is the…
Recently the effective action for the 4-point functions in abelian open superstring theory has been derived, giving an explicit construction of the bosonic and fermionic terms of this infinite $\alpha'$ series. In the present work we…
One-loop effective action of noncommutative scalar field theory with cubic self-interaction is studied. Utilizing worldline formulation, both planar and nonplanar part of the effective action are computed explicitly. We find complete…
I present in this paper the neutron spin physics program in Hall A at Jefferson Laboratory using a polarized helium-3 target. The program encompasses several completed experiments, in which, valuable spin observables (spin dependent…
Lattice simulations on SU(2) and SU(3) gauge theories with matter fields in the fundamental, adjoint and two index symmetric representations are needed to determine if these theories are near or within the conformal window as required for…
The mechanical behaviors of polycrystalline solids are determined by the interplay between phenomena governed by two different thermodynamic temperatures: the configurational effective temperature that controls the density of dislocations,…
Our earlier results on the temperature inversion properties and the ellipticisation of the finite temperature internal energy on odd spheres are extended to orbifold factors of odd spheres and then to other thermodynamic quantities, in…
The strongly-coupled 3-dimensional theory, holographically dual to black branes at fixed chemical potential $\muext$ and temperature $T \ll \mu$ is considered in AdS$_4$ Einstein-Maxwell theory. The retarded Green's functions at frequency…
Frustrated arrays of interacting single-domain nanomagnets provide important model systems for statistical mechanics, because they map closely onto well-studied vertex models and are amenable to direct imaging and custom engineering.…
We have implemented three approaches to describe the thermodynamic properties of ferrimagnetic ($S=5/2, s=2$) spin chains. The application of cumulant expansion has been generalized to the ferrimagnetic chain in the presence of an external…
We study the charge and spin-dependent thermoelectric response of a ferromagnetic helical system irradiated by arbitrarily polarized light, using a tight-binding framework and the Floquet-Bloch formalism. Transport properties for individual…
We discuss some issues related to the definition of different effective actions, in connection with the work on supersymmetric theories by Seiberg and collaborators. We also comment on the possibility of extending this work to broken…
