Statefinder parameters in two dark energy models

Grigoris Panotopoulos

The statefinder parameters () in two dark energy models are studied. In the first, we discuss in four-dimensional General Relativity a two fluid model, in which dark energy an…

Interaction correction to the conductance of a ballistic conductor

Piet W. Brouwer, Joern N. Kupferschmidt

In disordered metals, electron-electron interactions are the origin of a small correction to the conductivity, the "Altshuler-Aronov correction". Here we investigate the Altshuler-…
