An Introduction to the Brane World
Abdel Pérez-Lorenzana
The study of the so called brane world models has introduced completely new ways of looking up on standard problems in many areas of theoretical physics. Inspired in the recent dev…
Degrees of transience and recurrence and hierarchical random walks
D. A. Dawson, L. G. Gorostiza, A. Wakolbinger
The notion of degree and related notions concerning recurrence and transience for a class of L'evy processes on metric Abelian groups are studied. The case of random walks on a hie…
Absence of Metastable States in Strained Monatomic Cubic Crystals
Michael J. Mehl, Aaron Aguayo, Larry L. Boyer +1
A tetragonal (Bain path) distortion of a metal with an fcc (bcc) ground state will initially cause an increase in energy, but at some point along the Bain path the energy will agai…
Hierarchical equilibria of branching populations
D. A. Dawson, L. G. Gorostiza, A. Wakolbinger
The objective of this paper is the study of the equilibrium behavior of a population on the hierarchical group consisting of families of individuals undergoing critical branc…
