Single impurity operators at critical wrapping order in the beta-deformed N=4 SYM

Francesco Fiamberti, Alberto Santambrogio, Christoph Sieg +1

We study the spectrum of one single magnon in the superconformal beta-deformed N=4 SYM theory in the planar limit. We compute the anomalous dimensions of one-impurity operators O_{…

Steering Bose-Einstein condensates despite time symmetry

Dario Poletti, Giuliano Benenti, Giulio Casati +2

A Bose-Einstein condensate in an oscillating spatially asymmetric potential is shown to exhibit a directed current for unbiased initial conditions despite time symmetry. This pheno…

Black Holes as Lumps of Fluid

Marco M. Caldarelli, Oscar J. C. Dias, Roberto Emparan +1

The old suggestive observation that black holes often resemble lumps of fluid has recently been taken beyond the level of an analogy to a precise duality. We investigate aspects of…

Systematic thermal reduction of neutronization in core-collapse supernovae

A. F. Fantina, P. Donati, P. M. Pizzochero

We investigate to what extent the temperature dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy can affect the neutronization of the stellar core prior to neutrino trapping during gravitat…

Semiclassical model for a memory dephasing channel

A. D'Arrigo, G. Benenti, G. Falci

We study a dephasing channel with memory, described by a Hamiltonian model in which the system-environment interaction is described by a stochastic process. We propose a useful way…

A Quantum Fluid Description of the Free Electron Laser

R. Bonifacio, N. Piovella, G. R. M Robb +1

Using the Madelung transformation we show that in a quantum Free Electron Laser (QFEL) the beam obeys the equations of a quantum fluid in which the potential is the classical poten…

Explicit characterization of the identity configuration in an Abelian Sandpile Model

Sergio Caracciolo, Guglielmo Paoletti, Andrea Sportiello

Since the work of Creutz, identifying the group identities for the Abelian Sandpile Model (ASM) on a given lattice is a puzzling issue: on rectangular portions of Z^2 complex quasi…
