A couple of complex projective plane curves are said to make a Zariski pair if they have the same degree and the same type of singularities, but their embeddings in the projective plane are topologically different. In this paper, we present…

Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is a widespread phenomenon in several areas of physics. In this paper I wish to illustrate some situations where spontaneous symmetry breaking presents non obvious aspects. The first example is taken from…

Several phenomenological self-energies have been presented to describe the pseudogap in cuprates. Here, we offer a derivation of the self-energy in two dimensions due to pair formation and compare it to photoemission data. We then use our…

Spontaneous edge currents are known to occur in systems of two space dimensions in a strong magnetic field. The latter creates chirality and determines the direction of the currents. Here we show that an analogous effect occurs in a…
