A landmark of out-of-equilibrium physics is Kolmogorov's phenomenological theory of turbulence. However, the past 20 years have provided evidence of a new, universal type of turbulence cascade, which does not abide to Kolmogorov physics. To…
In this course we review the theory of incompressible homogeneous turbulence at an elementary level, and discuss the similarities and differences expected in the compressible case, relevant to the interstellar medium and molecular clouds.…
We consider a class of growth models and models of turbulence based on the randomly stirred fluid. The similarity between the predictions of these models, noted a decade earlier, is understood on the basis of a stochastic quantization…
This is one of the two papers where the optimized perturbation theory was first formulated. The other paper is published in Theor. Math. Phys. 28, 652--660 (1976). The main idea of the theory is to reorganize the perturbative sequence by…
A local strict comparison theorem and some converse comparison theorems are proved for reflected backward stochastic differential equations under suitable conditions.
The paper presents an enriched categorical account of homological perturbation theory, including the formulation, proof and functoriality properties of the homological perturbation lemma.
In this paper we consider and compare special classes of static theories of gradient elasticity, nonlocal elasticity, gradient micropolar elasticity and nonlocal micropolar elasticity with only one gradient coefficient. Equilibrium…
A fluctuation theorem is proved for the macroscopic currents of a system in a nonequilibrium steady state, by using Schnakenberg network theory. The theorem can be applied, in particular, in reaction systems where the affinities or…
This work provides a detailed study of Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials and employs the central difference operator to study the Sturm-Liouville problem. It presents two linearly independent solutions to the recursion relation, along with the…
We comment on some misunderstandings exhibited in a recent paper by Matolcsi et al. (Gen. Rel. Grav.39 413 (2007)).
For the generalized oscillator, we prove a Rellich type theorem, or characterize the order of growth of eigenfunctions. The proofs are given by an extensive use of commutator arguments invented recently by Ito and Skibsted. These arguments…
The scalar-tensor theory of gravitation has been and still is one of the most widely discussed "alternative theories" to General Relativity (GR). Despite nearly half a century of its age, it continues to attract renewed interests of not…
A phenomenological model for the dissipation of scalar fluctuations due to the straining by the fluid motion is proposed in this letter. An explicit equation is obtained for the time evolution of the probability distribution function of a…
This paper is about the surprising interaction of a foundational result from model theory, about stability of theories, with algorithmic stability in learning. First, in response to gaps in existing learning models, we introduce a new…
In this article I study different possibilities of analytically solving the Sturm-Liouville problem with variable coefficients of sufficiently arbitrary behavior with help of perturbation theory. I show how the problem can be reformulated…
Statistical physics has proven to be a very fruitful framework to describe phenomena outside the realm of traditional physics. The last years have witnessed the attempt by physicists to study collective phenomena emerging from the…
Fluctuation theorems establish deep relations between observables away from thermal equilibrium. Until recently, the research on fluctuation theorems was focused on time-reversal-invariant systems. In this review we address some newly…
We use a recently proved fluctuation theorem for the currents to develop the response theory of nonequilibrium phenomena. In this framework, expressions for the response coefficients of the currents at arbitrary orders in the thermodynamic…
In this work we establish a theory of Calculus based on the new concept of displacement. We develop all the concepts and results necessary to go from the definition to differential equations, starting with topology and measure and moving on…
Recently the ``Fluctuation theorem'' has been criticized and incorrect incorrect contents have been atributed to it. Here I reestablish and comment the original statements.
