A construction supporting a conjecture that different ground state pairs exist in the 2-dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass is presented.
Let $E$ be a flat Lorentzian space of signature $(2, 1)$. A Margulis space-time is a noncompact complete Lorentz flat $3$-manifold $E/\Gamma$ with a free isometry group $\Gamma$ of rank $g \geq 2$. We consider the case when $\Gamma$…
A rich variety of amorphous solids are found in nature and technology, including ones formed via the vulcanization of long, flexible molecules. A special class -- those featuring a wide gap between the long timescales over which constraints…
We present a numerical investigation of the density fluctuations in a model glass under cyclic shear deformation. At low amplitude of shear, below yielding, the system reaches a steady absorbing state in which density fluctuations are…
Recent experimental results on the static or quasistatic response of granular materials have been interpreted to suggest the inapplicability of the traditional engineering approaches, which are based on elasto-plastic models (which are…
Recently Moradinezhad Dizgah & Durrer have shown that the $E_g$ statistics, useful to test theories of modified gravity, is plagued by additional scale and bias dependent lensing contributions. In this work we develop and illustrate a…
This is part 1 of 3 from the master's thesis: Modeling Compact Objects with Effective Field Theory, supervised by Amanda Weltman. Using the Effective Field Theory framework for extended objects and the coset construction, we build the…
The well-known Yang-Mills theory with one $ S^{1} / Z_{2}$ universal extra dimension (UED) is generalized to an arbitrary number of spatial extra dimensions through a novel compactification scheme. In this paper, the Riemannian flat based…
The title refers to the area of research which studies infinite groups using measure-theoretic tools, and studies the restrictions that group structure imposes on ergodic theory of their actions. The paper is a survey of recent developments…
Electrostatic theory preserves charges, but allows dipolar excitations. Elasticity theory preserves dipoles, but allows quadrupolar (Eshelby like) plastic events. Charged amorphous granular systems are interesting in their own right; here…
We review the effective field theory approach to physics beyond the Standard Model using dimension-six operators. Topics include the choice of operator basis, electroweak boson pair production, precision electroweak physics (including…
This work presents the Griffith-type phase-field formation at large deformation in the framework of adaptive edge-based smoothed finite element method (ES-FEM) for the first time. Therein the phase-field modeling of fractures has attracted…
Algebraic quantum field theory is considered from the perspective of the Hochschild cohomology bicomplex. This is a framework for studying deformations and symmetries. Deformation is a possible approach to the fundamental challenge of…
Elastic capsules, prepared from droplets or bubbles attached to a capillary (as in a pendant drop tensiometer), can be deflated by suction through the capillary. We study this deflation and show that a combined analysis of the shape and…
The analytical model of a glass-forming system is formulated within the formalism analogous to gauge theory constructions in quantum field theory. This work explores the scope of the proposed approach and investigates the equilibrium…
The first part of these lectures provides a brief introduction to the concepts and techniques of effective field theory. The second part reviews precision electroweak constraints using effective theory methods. Several simple extensions of…
We extend our theory of amorphous packings of hard spheres to binary mixtures and more generally to multicomponent systems. The theory is based on the assumption that amorphous packings produced by typical experimental or numerical…
We study the physics of 3d supersymmetric abelian gauge theories (with small supersymmetry breaking perturbations) at finite density. Using mirror symmetry, which provides a natural generalization of the duality between the XY model and the…
Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics is undoubtedly a cornerstone for the description of many particle systems. The common interpretation is based on ensemble theory as put forward by Gibbs, alongside the basic assumptions that different…
When a granular system is tapped, its volume changes. Here, using a well-defined macroscopic protocol, we prepare an ensemble of granular systems and track the statistics of volume changes as a function of the number of taps. This is in…
