As part of an ongoing effort to characterize the high temperature phase of QCD, in a numerical simulation using the staggered fermion scheme, we measure the quark baryon density in the vicinity of a fixed test quark at high temperature and…
We study the effect of the energy gap on the transmission of fermions in graphene exposed to linearly polarized light as a laser barrier. We determine the energy spectrum, apply boundary conditions at interfaces, and use the transfer matrix…
We study a recently proposed formulation of overlap fermions at finite density. In particular we compute the energy density as a function of the chemical potential and the temperature. It is shown that overlap fermions with chemical…
I re-examine the relation between virial mass and concentration for groups and clusters of galaxies as measured in a number of recent works. As previously noted by several authors, low-mass clusters and groups of galaxies display…
We show how the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breakdown is affected by the presence of a sea of fermions in the system. When its density exceeds a critical value, the broken symmetry can be restored. We calculate the critical value and…
A dilute homogeneous 3D Fermi gas in the ground state is considered for the case of a repulsive pairwise interaction. The low-density (dilution) expansions for the kinetic and interaction energies of the system in question are calculated up…
Inspired by a recent work of Tye and Wong, we examine an effect of a band structure on baryon number preservation criteria requisite for successful electroweak baryogenesis. Action of a reduced model is fully constructed including a time…
For fermions with degenerate single-particle energy levels, the usual relation between the total number of particles and the chemical potential $\mu $ is only satisfied for a specific number of particles, i.e. those leading to closed…
Weak gravitational lensing convergence peaks, the local maxima in weak lensing convergence maps, have been shown to contain valuable cosmological information complementary to commonly used two-point statistics. To exploit the full power of…
When subjected to large amplitude oscillatory shear stress, aqueous Laponite suspensions show an abrupt solidification transition after a long delay time tc. We measure the dependence of tc on stress amplitude, frequency, and on the…
Skyrmions are localized, topologically non-trivial spin structures which have raised high hopes for future spintronic applications. A key issue is skyrmion stability with respect to annihilation into the ferromagnetic state. Energy barriers…
In high energy nuclear collisions, most calculations on the early equilibration of the parton plasma showed that the system does not come close to full equilibrium, especially for the fermion components. However, since the system is…
We discuss fermions in a spontaneously generated holographic lattice background. The lattice structure at the boundary is generated by introducing a higher-derivative interaction term between a U(1) gauge field and a scalar field. We solve…
We use the EAGLE galaxy formation simulation to study the effects of baryons on the power spectrum of the total matter and dark matter distributions and on the velocity fields of dark matter and galaxies. On scales $k{\stackrel{>}{{}_\sim}}…
We describe the dynamics of magnetic skyrmions in synthetic antiferromagnets (SAF), with a finite interlayer coupling. Due to the opposite gyrovector of the skyrmions in the two SAF layers, the coupled skyrmions reach a stationary regime…
We investigate the effects of repulsive interaction between hadrons on the fluctuations of the conserved charges. We calculate the baryon,the electric charge and the strangeness susceptibilities within the ambit of hadron resonance gas…
We discuss the validity and the outcome of a scaling hypothesis proposed by us some years ago, according to which the influence of the density on the slowing down of flow and relaxation in glassforming liquids and polymers is described…
Generic axion models give rise to axion domain walls in the early Universe and they have to disappear not to overclose the universe, thus limiting the nature of discrete symmetry allowed in these type of models. Through QCD sphalerons, net…
It is widely believed that electroweak baryogenesis should be suppressed in strong phase transitions with fast-moving bubble walls, but this effect has never been quantitatively studied. We rederive fluid equations describing transport of…
Statistical model analysis has been carried out for $p$ and $\alpha$ induced fission reactions using a consistent description for fission barrier and level density in A $\sim$ 200 mass region. A continuous damping of shell correction with…
