On the existence of a static black hole on a brane

Hirotaka Yoshino

We study a static black hole localized on a brane in the Randall-Sundrum (RS) II braneworld scenario. To solve this problem numerically, we develop a code having the almost 4th-ord…

The SU(N) Heisenberg model on the square lattice: a continuous-N quantum Monte Carlo study

K. S. D. Beach, Fabien Alet, Matthieu Mambrini +1

A quantum phase transition is typically induced by tuning an external parameter that appears as a coupling constant in the Hamiltonian. Another route is to vary the global symmetry…

Disorder-induced superfluidity

Long Dang, Massimo Boninsegni, Lode Pollet

We use quantum Monte Carlo simulations to study the phase diagram of hard-core bosons with short-ranged {\it attractive} interactions, in the presence of uniform diagonal disorder.…

A continuous model for microtubule dynamics with catastrophe, rescue and nucleation processes

Peter Hinow, Vahid Rezania, Jack A. Tuszynski

Microtubules are a major component of the cytoskeleton distinguished by highly dynamic behavior both in vitro and in vivo. We propose a general mathematical model that accounts for…
