We study the effect of a single bistable scatterer on conductance of mesoscopic conductors in the crossover regime from open to closed systems. After the resistance of the contact between the metallic grain and bulk electrode exceeds the…
We describe a method to address efficiently problems of two-phase flow in the regime of low particle Reynolds number and negligible Brownian motion. One of the phases is an incompressible continuous fluid and the other a discrete…
We use a bosonization approach to calculate the single-particle Green's function $G ( {\bf{r}} , \tau )$ of non-relativistic fermions coupled to transverse gauge-fields in arbitrary dimension $d$. We find that in $d>3$ transverse…
Making use of a simple unitary transformation we change the hamiltonian of a particle coupled to an one dimensional gas of bosons or fermions to a new form from which the many body degrees of freedom can be easily traced out. The effective…
We report a class of {\it integrable} one-dimensional interacting electronic sy$ with {\it off-diagonal disorder}. For these systems, the disorder can be ``gauged away,''and the spectrum can be mapped completely onto the spectrum of the…
We report on the closing of gaps in the ground state of the critical Heisenberg-Ising chain at momentum $\pi$. For half-filling, the gap closes at special values of the anisotropy $\Delta= \cos(\pi/Q)$, $Q$ integer. We explain this behavior…
A flux liquid can condense into a smectic crystal in a pure layered superconductor with the magnetic field oriented nearly parallel to the layers. Similar order can arise in low temperature $^4$He films with a highly anisotropic periodic…
The escape probability $\xi_{x}$ from a site $x$ of a one-dimensional disordered lattice with trapping is treated as a discrete dynamical evolution by random iterations over nonlinear maps parametrized by the right and left jump…
It is shown that globally-coupled oscillators with pulse interaction can synchronize under broader conditions than widely believed from a theorem of Mirollo \& Strogatz \cite{MirolloII}. This behavior is stable against frozen disorder.…
The statistics of random band--matrices with width and strength of the band slowly varying along the diagonal is considered. The Dyson equation for the averaged Green function close to the edge of spectrum is reduced to the Painlev\'{e} I…
We compare the properties of transmission across one-dimensional finite samples which are associated with two types of "quantum diffusion", one related to a classical chaotic dynamics, the other to a multifractal energy spectrum. We…
We study the effect of coherent propagation of two interacting particles in a disordered potential. The dependence of the enhancement factor for coherent localization length due to interaction is investigated numerically in the model of…
We propose two different macroscopic dynamics to describe the decay of metastable phases in many-particle systems with local interactions. These dynamics depend on the macroscopic order parameter $m$ through the restricted free energy…
We introduce a new transfer matrix method for calculating the thermodynamic properties of random-tiling models of quasicrystals in any number of dimensions, and describe how it may be used to calculate the phason elastic properties of these…
We discuss the class of superconductors which have pairing correlations which are odd in frequency, as introduced originally by Berezinskii and more recently by Balatsky and Abrahams. As follows from the equations of motion, a natural…
We study the late stages of spinodal decomposition in a Ginzburg-Landau mean field model with quenched disorder. Random spatial dependence in the coupling constants is introduced to model the quenched disorder. The effect of the disorder on…
I propose that the ground state of the 2D $t$-$J$ model near half-filling with $J/t\sim1/3$ has both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic fluctuations leading to a magnetically frustrated ground state. I further argue that the frustrated…
We have developed an exact method to calculate the vortex-antivortex interaction energy in the anisotropic 3D-XY model. For this calculation, dual transformation which is already known for the 2D XY-model was extended. We found an explicit…
We report an imbibition experiment in 2D random porous media in which height - height correlation function grows with a nonuniversal exponent; rather it depends on evaporation. We present an imbibition model which is consistent with the…
It is shown that layered superconductors are subjected to a phase transition at zero temperature provided the order parameter (OP) reverses its sign on the Fermi-surface but its angular average is finite. The transition is regulated by an…
