Binding effects in multivalent Gibbs-Donnan equilibrium

Martin Castelnovo, Alex Evilevitch

The classical Gibbs-Donnan equilibrium describes excess osmotic pressure associated with confined colloidal charges embedded in an electrolyte solution. In this work, we extend thi…

The Free Particle in Deformed Special Relativity

F. Girelli, T. Konopka, J. Kowalski-Glikman +1

The phase space of a classical particle in DSR contains de Sitter space as the space of momenta. We start from the standard relativistic particle in five dimensions with an extra c…

High-Temperature Criticality in Strongly Constrained Quantum Systems

Claudio Castelnovo, Claudio Chamon, Christopher Mudry +2

The exotic nature of many strongly correlated materials at reasonably high temperatures, for instance cuprate superconductors in their normal state, has lead to the suggestion that…

Nonideal strongly magnetized plasmas of neutron stars and their electromagnetic radiation

A. Y. Potekhin, G. Chabrier, D. Lai +2

We study the equation of state, polarization and radiation properties for nonideal, strongly magnetized plasmas which compose outer envelopes of magnetic neutron stars. Detailed ca…

Entropy of semiclassical measures of the Walsh-quantized baker's map

Nalini Anantharaman, Stéphane Nonnenmacher

We study the baker's map and its Walsh quantization, as a toy model of a quantized chaotic system. We focus on localization properties of eigenstates, in the semiclassical regime.…

3d Quantum Gravity and Effective Non-Commutative Quantum Field Theory

Laurent Freidel, Etera R. Livine

We show that the effective dynamics of matter fields coupled to 3d quantum gravity is described after integration over the gravitational degrees of freedom by a braided non-commuta…

Collision statistics in a dilute granular gas fluidized by vibrations in low gravity

Eric Falcon, S. Aumaître, P. Evesque +5

We report an experimental study of a dilute "gas" of inelastically colliding particles excited by vibrations in low gravity. We show that recording the collision frequency together…

Quantitative concentration inequalities on sample path space for mean field interaction

François Bolley

We consider a system of particles experiencing diffusion and mean field interaction, and study its behaviour when the number of particles goes to infinity. We derive non-asymptotic…

Dense plasmas in astrophysics: from giant planets to neutron stars

G. Chabrier, D. Saumon, A. Potekhin

We briefly examine the properties of dense plasmas characteristic of the interior of giant planets and the atmospheres of neutron stars. Special attention is devoted to the equatio…

Fluctuation of magnetic induction in von Kármán swirling flows

Romain Volk, Philippe Odier, Jean-Francois Pinton

Studies of magnetic induction in von Kármán swirling flows have so far linked the time-averaged induced magnetic field to the structure of the mean flow. They have evidenced the Om…

Super-Arrhenius dynamics for sub-critical crack growth in disordered brittle media

P. -P. Cortet, L. Vanel, S. Ciliberto

Taking into account stress fluctuations due to thermal noise, we study thermally activated irreversible crack growth in disordered media. The influence of material disorder on sub-…

Ice: a strongly correlated proton system

A. H. Castro Neto, P. Pujol, Eduardo Fradkin

We discuss the problem of proton motion in Hydrogen bond materials with special focus on ice. We show that phenomenological models proposed in the past for the study of ice can be…

The Vlasov equation and the Hamiltonian Mean-Field model

Julien Barr'e, Freddy Bouchet, Thierry Dauxois +2

We show that the quasi-stationary states observed in the -particle dynamics of the Hamiltonian Mean-Field (HMF) model are nothing but Vlasov stable homogeneous (zero magnetizati…

Broad-band photometric colors and effective temperature calibrations for late-type giants. I. Z=0.02

A. Kucinskas, P. H. Hauschildt, H. -G. Ludwig +5

We present new synthetic broad-band photometric colors for late-type giants based on synthetic spectra calculated with the PHOENIX model atmosphere code. The grid covers effective…
