We spell out the derivation of novel features, put forward earlier in a letter, of two dimensional gravity in the strong coupling regime, at $C_L=7$, 13, 19. Within the operator approach previously developed, they neatly follow from the…
We study a new non-equilibrium dynamical model: a marked continuous contact model in $d$-dimensional space ($d \ge 3$). We prove that for certain values of rates (the critical regime) this system has the one-parameter family of invariant…
We show that under tension, a classical many-body system with only isotropic pair interactions in a crystalline state can, counterintutively, have a negative Poisson's ratio, or auxetic behavior. We derive the conditions under which the…
We use the linear sigma model coupled to quarks to explore the location of the phase transition lines in the QCD phase diagram from the point of view of chiral symmetry restoration at high temperature and baryon chemical potential. We…
Three-dimensional mapping of surface structures is important in a wide range of biological, technological, healthcare and research applications, including taxonomy, microfluidics and fabrication. Neutral helium atom beams have been…
An almost Robinson structure on an $n$-dimensional Lorentzian manifold $(\mcM,g)$, where $n=2m+\epsilon$, $\epsilon \in \{ 0 ,1 \}$, is a complex $m$-plane distribution $\mcN$ that is totally null with respect to the complexified metric,…
Bidimensional materials are ideally viewed as having no thickness, as their name suggests. Their optical response have been previously modelled by a purely bidimensional surface current or by a very thin film with some contradictory…
Topological mechanics can realize soft modes in mechanical metamaterials in which the number of degrees of freedom for particle motion is finely balanced by the constraints provided by interparticle interactions. However, solid objects are…
The recent results of the Planck experiment put a stringent constraint on the sum of the light neutrino masses, m1+m2+m3 < 0.23 eV (95 % CL). On the other hand, two-zero Majorana mass matrix textures predict strong correlations among the…
We have discovered that two significant quantities within hard particle systems: the probability of successfully inserting an additional particle at random and the scale distribution function, can be connected by a concise relation. We…
In this paper we propose a computational framework for the investigation of the correlated motion between positive and negative ions exposed to the attraction of a bubble surface that mimics the (oscillating) cell membrane. The correlated…
The high-pressure compaction of three dimensional granular packings is simulated using a bonded particle model (BPM) to capture linear elastic deformation. In the model, grains are represented by a collection of point particles connected by…
Among exciting recent advances in the field of two-dimensional (2D) materials, the successful fabrications of the C60 fullerene networks has been a particularly inspiring accomplishment. Motivated by the recent achievements, herein we…
The soft wall model is extended to accommodate at the same time (i) approximately linear $\rho$ meson Regge trajectories at zero temperature $T$, (ii) various options for the thermodynamics with reference to QCD (cross over or second-order…
This paper advances an analytical incremental contact model for the purely elastic or elastic-perfectly plastic Gaussian rough surfaces. The contact is modelled by the accumulation of identical circular contacts with radius given by the…
At the molecular scale there are strong attractive interactions between surfaces, yet few macroscopic surfaces are sticky. Extensive simulations of contact by adhesive surfaces with roughness on nanometer to micrometer scales are used to…
Poisson-Boltzmann theory is the cornerstone for soft matter electrostatics. We provide novel exact analytical solutions to this non-linear mean-field approach, for the diffuse layer of ions in the vicinity of a planar or a cylindrical…
Mechanical extremal materials, a class of metamaterials that exist at the bounds of elastic theory, possess the extraordinary capability to engineer any desired elastic behavior by harnessing mechanical zero modes -- deformation modes that…
Recently, Vito Diana, Andrea Bacigalupo, Marco Lepidi and Luigi Gambarotta proposed an anisotropic continuum-molecular model based on pair potentials for describing the linear behavior of periodic heterogeneous Cauchy materials in the…
In this work the linear elastic properties of materials containing spherical voids are calculated and compared using finite element simulations. The focus is on homogeneous solid materials with spherical, empty voids of equal size. The…
