Recursive polarization of nuclear spins in diamond at arbitrary magnetic fields

Daniela Pagliero, Abdelghani Laraoui, Jacob D. Henshaw +1

We introduce an alternate route to dynamically polarize the nuclear spin host of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. Our approach articulates optical, microwave and radio-fre…

Non-monotonic flow curves of shear thickening suspensions

Romain Mari, Ryohei Seto, Jeffrey F. Morris +1

The discontinuous shear thickening (DST) of dense suspensions is a remarkable phenomenon in which the viscosity can increase by several orders of magnitude at a critical shear rate…

Matrix elements of operators in heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory

Jong-Wan Lee

We study the light-quark mass and spatial volume dependence of the matrix elements of four-quark operators relevant for the determination of and the lifetime ratios…

Parabolic theory as a high-dimensional limit of elliptic theory

Blair Davey

The aim of this article is to show how certain parabolic theorems follow from their elliptic counterparts. This technique is demonstrated through new proofs of five important theor…

Deformations of free boundary CMC hypersurfaces

Renato G. Bettiol, Paolo Piccione, Bianca Santoro

We study deformations of free boundary constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces whose Jacobi operator is degenerate due to symmetries of the ambient space. The value of the mean…

Interaction of a Magnet and a Point Charge: Unrecognized Internal Electromagnetic Momentum

Timothy H. Boyer

Whereas nonrelativistic mechanics always connects the total momentum of a system to the motion of the center of mass, relativistic systems, such as interacting electromagnetic char…

Stress-dependent normal mode frequencies from the effective mass of granular matter

Yanqing Hu, David L. Johnson, John J. Valenza +2

A zero-temperature critical point has been invoked to control the anomalous behavior of granular matter as it approaches jamming or mechanical arrest. Criticality manifests itself…

Hydrodynamics with gauge anomaly: Variational principle and Hamiltonian formulation

Gustavo M. Monteiro, Alexander G. Abanov, V. P. Nair

We present a variational principle for relativistic hydrodynamics with gauge-anomaly terms for a fluid coupled to an Abelian background gauge field. For this we utilize the Clebsch…

Effective Field Theory for a p-wave Superconductor in the Subgap Regime

Thors Hans Hansson, Thomas Kvorning, V. Parameswaran Nair +1

We construct an effective field theory for the 2d spineless p-wave paired superconductor that faithfully describes the topological properties of the bulk state, and also provides a…
