We formulate the Josephson effect in a field theoretic language which affords a straightforward generalization to the non-abelian case. We give some examples and apply the formalism to the case of SO(5) superconductivity.

We study the Taylor expansion around the point $x=1$ of a classical modular form, the Jacobi theta constant $\theta_3$. This leads naturally to a new sequence $(d(n))_{n=0}^\infty=1,1,-1,51,849,-26199,\ldots$ of integers, which arise as the…

We prove that the resolvent set of any, possibly singular, quasi periodic Jacobi operator is characterized as the set of all energies whose associated Jacobi cocycles induce a dominated splitting. This extends a well-known result by R. A.…

We calculate the O(alpha_s^3 ln(alpha_s)) contributions to the heavy-quarkonium production and annihilation rates. Our result sheds new light on the structure of the high-order perturbative corrections and opens a new perspective for a…

The Batalin Vilkovisky (BV) quantization provides a general procedure for calculating anomalies associated to gauge symmetries. Recent results show that even higher loop order contributions can be calculated by introducing an appropriate…

We investigate non-equilibrium transport through interacting superconducting nanojunctions using a Liouville space approach. The formalism allows us to study finite gap effects, and to account for both quasiparticle and Cooper pair…

We show the equivalence of several different tests of the Jacobi identity for celestial currents at tree level, in particular finding a simple, practical condition on hard momentum space 4-point amplitudes in any EFT. Along the way we…

For arbitrary $\beta > 0$, we use the orthogonal polynomials techniques developed by R. Killip and I. Nenciu to study certain linear statistics associated with the circular and Jacobi $\beta$ ensembles. We identify the distribution of these…

Field theoretical renormalization group methods are applied to the Obukhov--Kraichnan model of a passive scalar advected by the Gaussian velocity field with the covariance $<{\bf v}(t,{\bf x}){\bf v}(t',{\bf x})> - < v(t,{\bf x}){\bf…

We calculate the coefficients of operators with dimensions d <= 7 in the operator product expansion of correlators of q Gamma Q currents, for the effective field theory of an infinite-mass quark, Q. Exact two-loop results are obtained, with…

We theoretically study the superconducting diode effect in a three-terminal Josephson junction. The diode effect in superconducting systems is typically related to the presence of a difference in the critical currents for currents flowing…

We formulate a fully self-consistent, microscopic model to study the retardation and correlation effects of the barrier within a Josephson junction. The junction is described by a series of planes, with electronic correlation included…

The dynamical behavior of a fluxon in a semi-annular long Josephson junction in the presence of an ac-drive is studied. The non-uniformity due to the non uniform distribution of bias current is investigated. The oscillating potential is…

We study a canonical class of perturbations of Dirac operators that are defined in any dimension and on any Hermitian Clifford module bundle. These operators generalize the 2-dimensional Jackiw-Rossi operator, which describes electronic…

The paper deals with the Neumann spectral problem for a singularly perturbed second order elliptic operator with bounded lower order terms. The main goal is to provide a refined description of the limit behaviour of the principal eigenvalue…

We study the operator product expansion of two non-interacting chiral currents in the presence of external gauge fields in four dimensional euclidean space. We obtain the operator singularity in terms of the beta function of the free energy…

The central problem we consider is the distribution of eigenvalues of closed linear operators which are not selfadjoint, with a focus on those operators which are obtained as perturbations of selfadjoint linear operators. Two methods are…

We investigate classical anomalous electrical transport in a driven, resistively and capacitively shunted Josephson junction device. Novel transport phenomena are identified in chaotic regimes when the junction is subjected to both, a time…

For Wilson and clover fermions traditional formulations of the axial vector current do not respect the continuum Ward identity which relates the divergence of that current to the pseudoscalar density. Here we propose to use a point-split or…

Recently Baselmans et al. [Nature, 397, 43 (1999)] showed that the direction of the supercurrent in a superconductor/normal/superconductor Josephson junction can be reversed by applying, perpendicularly to the supercurrent, a sufficiently…
