We describe a simple nearest-neighbor Ising model that is capable of supporting a gas, liquid, crystal, in characteristic relationship to each other. As the parameters of the model are varied one obtains characteristic patterns of phase…
Templates are branched 2-manifolds with semi-flows used to model `chaotic' hyperbolic invariant sets of flows on 3-manifolds. Knotted orbits on a template correspond to those in the original flow. Birman and Williams conjectured that for…
Many one--dimensional quantum systems, in particular interacting electron and spin systems, can be described a Luttinger liquids. Here, some basic ideas of this picture of one--dimensional systems are briefly reviewed. I then discuss the…
It is known from grand canonical simulations of a system of hard rods on two dimensional lattices that an orientationally ordered nematic phase exists only when the length of the rods is at least seven. However, a recent microcanonical…
A nonuniform extension of the Glauber model on a one-dimensional lattice with boundaries is investigated. Based on detailed balance, reaction rates are proposed for the system. The static behavior of the system is investigated. It is shown…
Time-discrete dynamical systems on a finite state space have been used with great success to model natural and engineered systems such as biological networks, social networks, and engineered control systems. They have the advantage of being…
We carefully study how the fermion-fermion interactions affect the low-energy states of a two-dimensional spin-$1/2$ fermionic system on the kagom\'{e} lattice with a quadratic band crossing point. With the help of the renormalization group…
Boundary-induced transport in particle systems with anomalous diffusion exhibits rectification, negative resistance, and hysteresis phenomena depending on the way the drive acts on the boundary. The solvable case of a 1D system…
We show how a variety of stable spatio-temporal periodic patterns can be created in 2D-lattices of coupled oscillators with non-homogeneous coupling delays. A "hybrid dispersion relation" is introduced, which allows studying the stability…
We study trapping and propagation of a matter-wave soliton through the interface between uniform medium and a nonlinear optical lattice (NOL). Different regimes for transmission of a broad and a narrow soliton are investigated. Reflections…
We develop a model characterizing all possible knots and links arising from recombination starting with a twist knot substrate, extending previous work of Buck and Flapan. We show that all knot or link products fall into three…
We study the Lowest Landau Level equation set on simply and doubly-periodic domains (in other words, rectangles and strips with appropriate boundary conditions). To begin with, we study well-posedness and establish the existence of…
We study a disordered network of bistable bonds subjected to periodic strain. The model is inspired by experiments on crumpled sheets and it features behaviors associated with glasses, including a complex energy landscape, memories, and…
We establish that mass conserving single terminal-linkage networks of chemical reactions admit positive steady states regardless of network deficiency and the choice of reaction rate constants. This result holds for closed systems without…
In this paper, knot physics on entangled vortex-membranes are studied including classification, knot dynamics and effective theory. The physics objects in this paper are entangled vortex-membranes that are called composite knot-crystals.…
This paper analyzes the stability of a reactiondiffusion equation coupled with a finite-dimensional controller through Dirichlet boundary input and Neumann boundary output. Going against the flow, we intend to propose numerical certificates…
We model the typical behavior of knots and links using grid diagrams. Links are ubiquitous in the sciences, and their "normal" or "typical" behavior is of significant importance in understanding situations such as the topological state of…
We investigate a fluid-structure interaction system in which the dynamics of the fluid is described by the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, while the elastic structure is modeled by a damped plate equation. The fluid evolves in a…
Spatial and temporal pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems is typically studied with two or more equations, as scalar reaction-diffusion equations confined to convex domains do not admit stable inhomogeneous states in time or…
The Hubbard model is a paradigmatic model of strongly correlated quantum matter, thus making it desirable to investigate with quantum simulators such as ultracold atomic gases. Here, we consider the problem of two atoms interacting in a…
