We show that defects in 1D rings decrease the conductance (when the ring is opened up) many more times than it decreases the persistent currents. This means that the states in such a 1D ring are very sensitive to twisting of boundary…
We study a system of a quantum particle interacting with a singular time-dependent uniformly rotating potential in 2 and 3 dimensions: in particular we consider an interaction with support on a point (rotating point interaction) and on a…
We examine bosonic atoms that are confined in a toroidal, quasi-one-dimensional trap, subjected to a random potential. The resulting inhomogeneous atomic density is smoothened for sufficiently strong, repulsive interatomic interactions.…
We consider infinite FPU-type atomic chains with general convex potentials and study the existence of monotone fronts that are heteroclinic travelling waves connecting constant asymptotic states. Iooss showed that small amplitude fronts…
An outstanding property of any Hamiltonian system is the symplecticity of its flow, namely, the continuous trajectory preserves volume in phase space. Given a symplectic but discrete trajectory generated by a transition matrix applied at a…
We study the dynamics of a damped harmonic oscillator in the presence of a retarded potential with state-dependent time-delayed feedback. In the limit of small time-delays, we show that the oscillator is equivalent to a Li\'enard system.…
We consider the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity in the presence of an electric current flowing through a two-dimensional wire. We show that when the current is sufficiently strong the solution converges in the…
The 2-dimensional density of states of an electron is studied for a Poissonian random distribution of point vortices carrying $\alpha$ flux in unit of the quantum of flux. It is shown that, for any given density of impurities, there is a…
We examine the behavior of a one-dimensional superconducting wire exposed to an applied electric current. We use the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model to describe the system and retain temperature and applied current as parameters.…
The ground state persistent current and electron addition spectrum in two-dimensional quantum dot arrays and one-dimensional quantum dot rings, pierced by an external magnetic flux, are investigated using the extended Hubbard model. The…
We have done a study with small, imperfect Hubbard rings with exact diagonalization. The results for few-electron rings show, that the imperfection, whether localized or not, nearly always decrease, but can also \emph{increase} the…
We investigate the effect of interacting quantum phase slips on persistent current and its fluctuations in ultrathin superconducting nanowires and nanorings pierced by the external magnetic flux. We derive the effective action for these…
Anomalous symmetries induce currents which can be parallel rather than orthogonal to the hypermagnetic field. Building on the analogy with charged liquids at high magnetic Reynolds numbers, the persistence of anomalous currents is…
In this note, we study Lifshitz tails for a 2D Landau Hamiltonian perturbed by a random alloy-type potential constructed with single site potentials decaying at least at a Gaussian speed. We prove that, if the Landau level stays preserved…
We study the Landau-problem on the $\theta$-deformed two-torus and use well-known projective modules to obtain perturbed spectra. For a strong magnetic field B the problem can be restricted to one particular Landau-level. First we represent…
We consider a system of two coupled particles evolving in a periodic and spatially symmetric potential under the influence of external driving and damping. The particles are driven individually in such a way that in the uncoupled regime,…
In this paper, we establish the large time asymptotic behavior of solutions to the linearized Vlasov-Poisson system near general spatially homogenous equilibria $\mu(\frac12|v|^2)$ with connected support on the torus $\mathbb{T}^3_x \times…
We consider a coupled system of nonlinear Lowest Landau Level equations. We first show the existence of multi-solitons with an exponentially localised error term in space, and then we prove a uniqueness result. We also show a long time…
It is shown that low Reynolds number fluid flows can cause suspended particles to respond as though they were in an equilibrium system with an effective potential. This general result follows naturally from the fact that different methods…
We explore the behavior of persistent current and low-field magnetic response in mesoscopic one-channel rings and multi-channel cylinders within the tight-binding framework. We show that the characteristic properties of persistent current…
