The effect of disorder on flux lattices at equilibrium is studied quantitatively in the absence of free dislocations using both the Gaussian variational method and the renormalization group. Our results for the mean square relative…

We calculate the resistivity $\rho$ as a function of temperature $T$ for two models currently discussed in connection with high temperature superconductivity: nearly antiferromagnetic Fermi liquids and models with van Hove singularities on…

This paper investigates the mobility of electrons scattering from the coupled system of electrons and longitudinal optical (LO) phonons in n-type GaAs. The Boltzmann equation is solved exactly for low electric fields by an iterative method,…

This paper describes a simple and general method for deriving the inelastic collision term in the electron Boltzmann equation for scattering from a coupled electron-phonon system, and applies the method to the case of doped polar…

We analytically derive the geometrical structure of the weight space in multilayer neural networks (MLN), in terms of the volumes of couplings associated to the internal representations of the training set. Focusing on the parity and…

The capabilities of the functional-analytic and of the functional-integral approach for the construction of the Hamiltonian as a self-adjoint operator on Hilbert space are compared in the context of non-relativistic quantum mechanics.…

Composite fermions in a partially filled quasi-Landau level may be viewed as quasielectrons of the underlying fractional quantum Hall state, suggesting that a quasielectron is simply a dressed electron, as often is true in other interacting…

We consider the shear flow of well-aligned one-component smectic phases, such as thermotropic smectics and lamellar diblock copolymers, below the critical region. We show that, as a result of thermal fluctuations of the layers, parallel…

We consider the two-level correlation function in two-dimensional disordered systems. In the non-ergodic diffusive regime, at energy $\epsilon>E_{c}$ ($E_{c}$ is the Thouless energy), it is shown to be completely determined by the weak…

We use the semiclassical approach combined with the scaling results for the diffusion coefficient to consider the two-level correlation function $R(\varepsilon)$ for a disordered electron system in the crossover region, characterized by the…

Scaling violations are found in the phase-ordering two-dimensional Heisenberg [$O(3)$] model, which has non-singular topological textures, under dissipative non-conserved dynamics. Three separate length-scales are found: $L_T$ characterizes…

Using Grassmann variables and an analogy with two dimensional electrostatics, we obtain the average eigenvalue distribution $\rho(\omega)$ of ensembles of $N \times N$ asymmetrically diluted Hopfield matrices in the limit $N \rightarrow…

A wide range of quasi-one-dimensional materials, consisting of weakly coupled chains, undergo three-dimensional phase transitions that can be described by a complex order parameter. A Ginzburg-Landau theory is derived for such a transition.…

We develop a general theory of fermion liquids in spatial dimensions greater than one. The principal method, bosonization, is applied to the cases of short and long range longitudinal interactions, and to transverse gauge interactions. All…

Recently, in an attempt to study disordered criticality in Quantum Hall systems and $d$-wave superconductivity, it was found that two dimensional random Dirac fermion systems contain a line of critical points which is connected to the pure…

We review in details a recently proposed technique to extract information about dynamical correlation functions of many-body hamiltonians with a few Lanczos iterations and without the limitation of finite size. We apply this technique to…

The stochastic cellular automaton of Rule 18 defined by Wolfram [Rev. Mod. Phys. 55 601 (1983)] has been investigated by the enhanced coherent anomaly method. Reliable estimate was found for the $\beta$ critical exponent, based on moderate…

The remarkably large persistent currents that are observed in disordered micron-scale gold rings at low temperatures have recently been explained in a theory of non-interacting electrons scattered by crystal grain boundaries. The present…

In a recent experiment, Ma et al. measured the temperature dependence of the gap anisotropy of oxygen-annealed Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+x}$. Their measurements were taken along the two directions $\Gamma - M$ and $\Gamma - X$. They…
