Coagulation-flocculation of pollutants and chelation of heavy metal ions are two widely used techniques in wastewater purification. Despite the differences between their respective mechanisms and inherent length scales, they bear much…

In this paper we prove that, at least in even complex dimensions, the ratio of Chern numbers for a closed complex hyperbolic branched cover manifold are not all equal to the corresponding ratio of Chern numbers for a closed complex…

We present a semi-analytical approach to the determination of the dynamic properties of randomly branched polymers under the Rouse approximation. The principle procedure is based on examining a spectrum of eigenvalues which represents the…

We re-examine the quantization of a class of non-polynomial scalar field theories which interpolates continuously from a free one to $\phi^4$ theory. The quantization of such theories is problematic because the Feynman rules may not be…

We discuss geometric properties of covers of closed hyperbolic manifolds of dimension $n\geq 3$, branched along a totally geodesic codimension two submanifold $\Sigma$. The results are mostly known to the experts but hard to find in the…

In this work we present a new model for the form factor of a star polymer consisting of self-avoiding branches. This new model incorporates excluded volume effects and is derived from the two point correlation function for a star polymer..…

We study a one dimensional directed polymer model in an inverse-gamma random environment, known as the log-gamma polymer, in three different geometries: point-to-line, point-to-half line and when the polymer is restricted to a half space…

The correlation functions of the spin-1/2 XXZ chain in the ground state were expressed in the form of multiple integrals for -1<\Delta \leq 1 and 1<\Delta. In particular, adjacent four-point correlation functions were given as certain…

We consider star polymers, consisting of two different polymer species, in a solvent subject to quenched correlated structural obstacles. We assume that the disorder is correlated with a power-law decay of the pair correlation function…

We use a recently derived diagrammatic formulation of the dynamics of interacting Brownian particles [G. Szamel, J. Chem. Phys. 127, 084515 (2007)] to study a four-point dynamic density correlation function. We re-sum a class of diagrams…

We study maps from a 2D world-sheet to a 2D target space which include folds. The geometry of folds is discussed and a metric on the space of folded maps is written down. We show that the latter is not invariant under area preserving…

We consider the two-point correlation function of the photodissociation cross section in molecules where the fragmentation process is indirect, passing through resonances above the dissociation threshold. In the limit of overlapping…

We show that all Feynman integrals in two Euclidean dimensions with massless propagators and arbitrary non-integer propagator powers can be expressed in terms of single-valued analogues of Aomoto-Gelfand hypergeometric functions. The latter…

A self consistent field theory for compressible polymer mixtures is developed by introducing elements of classical density functional theory into the framework of the Helfand theory. It is then applied to study free surfaces of binary (A,B)…

The "bootstrap determination" of the geometrical correlation functions in the two-dimensional Potts model proposed in a paper [arXiv:1607.07224] was later shown in [arXiv:1809.02191] to be incorrect, the actual spectrum of the model being…

For a delta-correlated velocity field, simultaneous correlation functions of a passive scalar satisfy closed equations. We analyze the equation for the four-point function. To describe a solution completely, one has to solve the matching…
