We find broad classes of solutions to the field equations for d-dimensional gravity coupled to an antisymmetric tensor of arbitrary rank and a scalar field with non-vanishing potential. Our construction generates these configurations from…
We study time-dependent solutions of Einstein-Maxwell gravity in four dimensions coupled to tachyon matter--the Dirac-Born-Infeld Lagrangian that provides an effective description of a decaying tachyon on an unstable D-brane in string…
Considering complex $n$-dimension Calabi-Yau homogeneous hyper-surfaces $% \mathcal{H}_{n}$ with discrete torsion and using Berenstein and Leigh algebraic geometry method, we study Fractional D-branes that result from stringy resolution of…
In this talk we discuss at hand of two examples the crucial role played by self consistency in hadron physics. The first example concerns the quark-mass dependence of the baryon octet and decuplet masses. It is shown that within a self…
We prove some pinching results for the extrinsic radius of compact hypersurfaces in space forms. We show that if the pinching condion is strong enough with a dependance on the norm of the second foundamental form, then the hypersurface is…
We study D-brane moduli spaces and tachyon condensation in B-type topological minimal models and their massive deformations. We show that any B-type brane is isomorphic with a direct sum of `minimal' branes, and that its moduli space is…
Standard methods of nonlinear dynamics are used to investigate the stability of particles, branes and D-branes of abelian Born-Infeld theory. In particular the equation of small fluctuations about the D-brane is derived and converted into a…
We consider the anisotropic evolution of spatial dimensions and the stabilization of internal dimensions in the framework of brane gas cosmology. We observe that the bulk RR field can give an effective potential which prevents the internal…
We study the entropy of concrete de Sitter flux compactifications and deformations of them containing D-brane domain walls. We determine the relevant causal and thermodynamic properties of these "D-Sitter" deformations of de Sitter…
In this work, we study a new notion involving convergence of microstructures represented by matrices $B^\epsilon$ related to the classical $H$-convergence of $A^\epsilon$. It incorporates the interaction between the two microstructures.…
The structure appearance in exciton density distribution in semiconductor double quantum well with transverse electric field applied is studied, in the case when the metal electrode contains a round window. It is suggested that there is…
The evolution of the interface propagation in a slowly rotating half-filled horizontal cylinder is studied using MRI. Initially, the cylinder contains two axially segregated bands of small and large particles with a sharp interface. The…
Exciton problem is solved in the two-dimensional Dirac model with allowance for strong electron-hole attraction. The exciton binding energy is assumed smaller than but comparable to the band gap. The exciton wavefunction is found in the…
Most research into similarity search in metric spaces relies upon the triangle inequality property. This property allows the space to be arranged according to relative distances to avoid searching some subspaces. We show that many common…
Motivated by research on contraction analysis and incremental stability/stabilizability the study of 'differential properties' has attracted increasing attention lately. Previously lifts of functions and vector fields to the tangent bundle…
An elastic membrane that is forced to reside in a container smaller than its natural size will deform and, upon further volume reduction, eventually crumple. The crumpled state is characterized by the localization of energy in a complex…
Dixon's multipoles for a system of N relativistic positive-energy scalar particles are evaluated in the rest-frame instant form of dynamics. The Wigner hyperplanes (intrinsic rest frame of the isolated system) turn out to be the natural…
Functionals that penalize bending or stretching of a surface play a key role in geometric and scientific computing, but to date have ignored a very basic requirement: in many situations, surfaces must not pass through themselves or each…
This work proposes a method to identify and isolate the physical mechanisms that are responsible for linear energy amplification in fluid flows. This is achieved by applying a sparsity-promoting methodology to the resolvent form of the…
We consider the propagation of Type I open superstrings on orbifolds with four non-compact dimensions and $N=1$ supersymmetry. In this paper, we concentrate on a non-trivial Z_2xZ_2 example. We show that consistency conditions, arising from…
