Universal non-Debye scaling in the density of states of amorphous solids

Patrick Charbonneau, Eric I. Corwin, Giorgio Parisi +2

At the jamming transition, amorphous packings are known to display anomalous vibrational modes with a density of states (DOS) that remains constant at low frequency. The scaling of…

Universal entanglement spectra in critical spin chains

Rex Lundgren, Jonathan Blair, Pontus Laurell +4

We advocate that in critical spin chains, and possibly in a larger class of 1D critical models, a gap in the momentum-space entanglement spectrum separates the universal part of th…

Structure-preserving shock-capturing methods: late-time asymptotics, curved geometry, small-scale dissipation, and nonconservative products

Philippe G. LeFloch

We present some recent developments on shock capturing methods for nonlinear hyperbolic systems of balance laws, whose prototype is the Euler system of compressible fluid flows, an…

Local random phase approximation with projected oscillator orbitals

Bastien Mussard, Janos Angyan

An approximation to the many-body London dispersion energy in molecular systems is expressed as a functional of the occupied orbitals only. The method is based on the local-RPA the…

An interplay of migratory and division forces as a generic mechanism for stem cell patterns

Edouard Hannezo, Alice Coucke, Jean-François Joanny

In many adult tissues, stem cells and differentiated cells are not homogeneously distributed : stem cells are arranged in periodic "niches", and differentiated cells are constantly…

Geroch group for Einstein spaces and holographic integrability

Anastasios C. Petkou, P. Marios Petropoulos, Konstantinos Siampos

We review how Geroch's reduction method is extended from Ricci-flat to Einstein spacetimes. The Ehlers-Geroch SL(2,R) group is still present in the three-dimensional sigma-model th…

Pontryagin maximum principle for optimal sampled-data control problems

Loïc Bourdin, Emmanuel Trélat

In this short communication, we first recall a version of the Pontryagin maximum principle for general finite-dimensional nonlinear optimal sampled-data control problems. This resu…

Predicting links in ego-networks using temporal information

Lionel Tabourier, Anne-Sophie Libert, Renaud Lambiotte

Link prediction appears as a central problem of network science, as it calls for unfolding the mechanisms that govern the micro-dynamics of the network. In this work, we are intere…

Ortho-to-para ratio of NH2. Herschel-HIFI observations of ortho- and para-NH2 rotational transitions towards W31C, W49N, W51 and G34.3+0.1

C. M. Persson, A. O. H. Olofsson, R. Le Gal +10

We have used the Herschel-HIFI instrument to observe both nuclear spin symmetries of amidogen (NH2) towards the high-mass star-forming regions W31C (G10.6-0.4), W49N (G43.2-0.1), W…

H2 distribution during 2-phase Molecular Cloud Formation

V. Valdivia, P. Hennebelle, M. Gerin +1

We performed high-resolution, 3D MHD simulations and we compared to observations of translucent molecular clouds. We show that the observed populations of rotational levels of H2 c…

Quantum Hydrogen-Bond Symmetrization and High-Temperature Superconductivity in Hydrogen Sulfide

Ion Errea, Matteo Calandra, Chris J. Pickard +7

Hydrogen compounds are peculiar as the quantum nature of the proton can crucially affect their structural and physical properties. A remarkable example are the high-pressure phases…

2D photochemical modeling of Saturn's stratosphere. Part II: Feedback between composition and temperature

V. Hue, T. K. Greathouse, T. Cavalié +2

Saturn's axial tilt produces seasons in a similar way as on Earth. Both the stratospheric temperature and composition are affected by this latitudinally varying insolation along th…

Polarization dependence of nonlinear wave mixing of spinor polaritons in semiconductor microcavities

Przemyslaw Lewandowski, Ombline Lafont, Emmanuel Baudin +11

The pseudo-spin dynamics of propagating exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities are known to be strongly influenced by TE-TM splitting. As a vivid consequence, in the Ray…
