We discuss the discrete spectrum of the Hamiltonian describing a two-dimensional quantum particle interacting with an infinite family of point interactions. We suppose that the latter are arranged into a star-shaped graph with N arms and a…
We obtain new asymptotic results about systems of $ N $ particles governed by Riesz interactions involving $ k $-nearest neighbors of each particle as $N\to\infty$. These results include a generalization to weighted Riesz potentials with…
We consider the non-equilibrium physics induced by joining together two tight binding fermionic chains to form a single chain. Before being joined, each chain is in a many-fermion ground state. The fillings (densities) in the two chains…
We show that very large nonlocal nonlinear interactions between pairs of colliding slow-light pulses can be realized in atomic vapors in the regime of electromagnetically induced transparency. These nonlinearities are mediated by strong,…
This paper deals with the existence of traveling fronts guided by the medium for a KPP reaction-diffusion equation coming from a model in population dynamics in which there is spatial spreading as well as genetic mutation of a quantitative…
We show the existence of the fractional topological phase (FTP) in a one-dimensional interacting fermion model using exact diagonalization, in which the non-interacting part has flatbands with nontrivial topology. In the presence of the…
An exact solution to the interaction between two emitters mediated by F\"{o}rster resonance energy transfer is presented. The system is comprised of a one-dimensional optical waveguide with two embedded two-level systems and is analyzed…
The Landau-de Gennes free energy is used to study theoretically the interaction of parallel cylindrical colloidal particles trapped at a nematic-isotropic interface. We find that the effective interaction potential is non-monotonic. The…
We study experimentally the interaction between two solitary waves that approach one to another in a linear chain of spheres interacting via the Hertz potential. When these counter propagating waves collide, they cross each other and a…
Electromagnetic waves propagating through vacuum can polarize virtual electron-positron pairs; this polarization, in turn, nonlinearly modifies their propagation. A semi-classical nonlinear wave equation describing the propagation is…
It has been shown that self-assembled chains of active colloidal particles can present sustained oscillations. These oscillations are possible because of the effective diffusiophoretic forces that mediate the interactions of colloids do not…
We analyze the ground state localization properties of an array of identical interacting spinless fermionic chains with quasi-random disorder, using non-perturbative Renormalization Group methods. In the single or two chains case…
We propose a two-body spherically symmetric (isotropic) potential such that particles interacting by the potential self assemble into linear semiflexible polymeric chains without branching. By suitable control of the potential parameters we…
I study a class of action functionals on the space of unparameterized oriented rectifiable curves in R^n. The local action is a degenerate type of Finsler metric that may vanish in certain directions, thus allowing for curves with positive…
We present a theoretical study of nonlinear pattern formation in parametric surface waves for fluids of low viscosity, and in the limit of large aspect ratio. The analysis is based on a quasi-potential approximation to the equations…
We develop a long-wavelength theory for the linear stability of a flat interface between an active nematic and an isotropic fluid. Starting from a diffuse-interface Cahn--Hilliard--Landau--de Gennes description coupled to Brinkman-screened…
We investigate the subtle effects of diffuse charge on interfacial kinetics by solving the governing equations for ion transport (Nernst-Planck) with realistic boundary conditions representing reaction kinetics (Butler-Volmer) and…
We study travelling fronts of equations of the form $u_{tt} + \phi(u) u_x = u_{xx} + f(u)$. A criterion for the transition from linear to nonlinear marginal stability is established for positive functions $\phi(u)$ and for any reaction term…
Active agents are capable of exerting nonreciprocal forces upon one another. For instance, one agent, say $A$, may attract another agent $B$ while $B$ repels $A$. These antagonistic nonreciprocal interactions have been extensively studied…
Break of radial symmetry for interaction energy minimizers is a phenomenon where a radial interaction potential whose associated energy minimizers are never radially symmetric. Numerically, it has been frequently observed for various types…
