The deleterious mutation load is insensitive to recent population history
Yuval B. Simons, Michael C. Turchin, Jonathan K. Pritchard +1
Human populations have undergone dramatic changes in population size in the past 100,000 years, including a severe bottleneck of non-African populations and recent explosive popula…
A population genetic interpretation of GWAS findings for human quantitative traits
Yuval B. Simons, Kevin Bullaughey, Richard R. Hudson +1
GWAS in humans are revealing the genetic architecture of biomedical and anthropomorphic traits, i.e., the frequencies and effect sizes of variants that contribute to heritable vari…
Emergence of stability in a stochastically driven pendulum: beyond the Kapitsa effect
Yuval B. Simons, Baruch Meerson
We consider a prototypical nonlinear system which can be stabilized by multiplicative noise: an underdamped non-linear pendulum with a stochastically vibrating pivot. A numerical s…
Reentrance and Magnetic-Field-Induced Superconductivity with Kondo Impurities: Bulk and Proximity Systems
Yuval B. Simons, Ora Entin-Wohlman, Yuval Oreg +1
Reentrant behavior is known to exist and magnetic-field-induced superconductivity has been predicted in superconductors with Kondo impurities. We present a simple framework for und…
