Solutions of renormalization group flow equations with full momentum dependence

F. Benitez, J. -P. Blaizot, H. Chate +3

We demonstrate the power of a recently-proposed approximation scheme for the non-perturbative renormalization group that gives access to correlation functions over their full momen…

Real spin glasses relax slowly in the shade of hierarchical trees

Eric Vincent, J. Hammann, Miguel Ocio

The Parisi solution of the mean-field spin glass has been widely accepted and celebrated. Its marginal stability in 3d and its complexity however raised the question of its relevan…

Far-from-equilibrium state in a weakly dissipative model

Eric Bertin, Olivier Dauchot

We address, on the example of a simple solvable model, the issue of whether the stationary state of dissipative systems converges to an equilibrium state in the low dissipation lim…

An XMM-Newton Spectral and Timing Study of IGR J16207-5129: An Obscured and Non-Pulsating HMXB

John A. Tomsick, Sylvain Chaty, Jerome Rodriguez +3

We report on a 12 hr XMM-Newton observation of the supergiant High-Mass X-ray Binary IGR J16207-5129. This is only the second soft X-ray (0.4-15 keV, in this case) study of the sou…

Supertubes in Bubbling Backgrounds: Born-Infeld Meets Supergravity

Iosif Bena, Nikolay Bobev, Clement Ruef +1

We discuss two ways in which one can study two-charge supertubes as components of generic three-charge, three-dipole charge supergravity solutions. The first is using the Born-Infe…

Topology Change from (Heterotic) Narain T-Duality

Jarah Evslin, Ruben Minasian

We consider Narain T-duality on a nontrivially fibered n-torus bundle in the presence of a topologically nontrivial NS H flux. The action of the duality group on the topology and H…

A simple and efficient numerical scheme to integrate non-local potentials

N. Michel

As nuclear wave functions have to obey the Pauli principle, potentials issued from reaction theory or Hartree-Fock formalism using finite-range interactions contain a non-local par…
