Effect of Sequence-Dependent Rigidity on Plectoneme Localization in dsDNA

Shlomi Medalion, Yitzhak Rabin

We use Monte-Carlo simulations to study the effect of variable rigidity on plectoneme formation and localization in supercoiled dsDNA. We show that the presence of soft sequences i…

Equilibration in a chiral Luttinger liquid

I. V. Protopopov, D. B. Gutman, A. D. Mirlin

We explore the weak-strong-coupling Bose-Fermi duality in a model of a single-channel integer or fractional quantum Hall edge state with a finite-range interaction. The system is d…

Deviations from Boltzmann-Gibbs equilibrium in confined optical lattices

Andreas Dechant, David A. Kessler, Eli Barkai

Cold atoms in dissipative optical lattices have long been known to exhibit anomalous kinetics due to an effective nonlinear friction force. Here we show that confining the spatial…

How does public opinion become extreme?

Marlon Ramos, Jia Shao, Saulo D. S. Reis +4

We investigate the emergence of extreme opinion trends in society by employing statistical physics modeling and analysis on polls that inquire about a wide range of issues such as…

Percolation of localized attack on complex networks

Shuai Shao, Xuqing Huang, H Eugene Stanley +1

The robustness of complex networks against node failure and malicious attack has been of interest for decades, while most of the research has focused on random attack or hub-target…

2-manifold recognition is in logspace

Benjamin A. Burton, Murray Elder, Arkadius Kalka +1

We prove that the homeomorphism problem for 2-manifolds can be decided in logspace. The proof relies on Reingold's logspace solution to the undirected -connectivity problem in…

Asymptotic densities of ballistic Lévy walks

D. Froemberg, M. Schmiedeberg, E. Barkai +1

We propose an analytical method to determine the shape of density profiles in the asymptotic long time limit for a broad class of coupled continuous time random walks which operate…

Compressibility enhancement in an almost staggered interacting Harper model

Bat-el Friedman, Richard Berkovits

We discuss the compressibility in the almost staggered fermionic Harper model with repulsive interactions in the vicinity of half-filling. It has been shown by Kraus et al. [33] th…

On Planar Algebraic Curves and Holonomic -modules in Positive Characteristic

Alexei Kanel-Belov, Andrey Elishev

In this paper we study a correspondence between cyclic modules over the first Weyl algebra and planar algebraic curves in positive characteristic. In particular, we show that any s…

The intersection graph of an orientable generic surface

Doron Ben Hadar

I answer an open question left by Gui-Song Li in "On self-intersections of immersed surfaces" (AMS Proceedings, Volume 126, 1998, pp.3721-3726.) The intersection graph of a…

Thermalization in a periodically driven fully-connected quantum Ising ferromagnet

Angelo Russomanno, Rosario Fazio, Giuseppe E. Santoro

By means of a Floquet analysis, we study the quantum dynamics of a fully connected Lipkin-Ising ferromagnet in a periodically driven transverse field showing that thermalization in…

The Classical-to-Quantum Transition with Broadband Four-Wave Mixing

Rafi Z. Vered, Yaakov Shaked, Yelena Ben-Or +2

A key question of quantum optics is how nonclassical bi-photon correlations at low power evolve into classical coherence at high-power. Direct observation of the crossover from qua…

The Higgs Mode in Disordered Superconductors Close to a Quantum Phase Transition

Daniel Sherman, Uwe S. Pracht, Boris Gorshunov +10

The concept of mass-generation via the Higgs mechanism was strongly inspired by earlier works on the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect in superconductors. In quantum field theory, the exc…

Linear and Non-linear Rabi Oscillations of a Two-Level System Resonantly Coupled to an Anderson-Localized Mode

Nicolas Bachelard, Rémi Carminati, Patrick Sebbah +1

We use time-domain numerical simulations of a two-dimensional (2D) scattering system to study the interaction of a collection of emitters resonantly coupled to an Anderson-localize…

Experiments on Maxwell's Fish-eye dynamics in elastic plates

Gautier Lefebvre, Marc Dubois, Romain Beauvais +3

We experimentally demonstrate that a Duraluminium thin plate with a thickness profile varying radially in a piecewise constant fashion as h(r)=h(0)(1+(r/Rmax)), with h(0)=0.5 mm, h…

An algorithm for improving Non-Local Means operators via low-rank approximation

Victor May, Yosi Keller, Nir Sharon +1

We present a method for improving a Non Local Means operator by computing its low-rank approximation. The low-rank operator is constructed by applying a filter to the spectrum of t…

Waveguide-based single-shot temporal cross-correlator

Moti Fridman, Yoshitomo Okawachi, Stephane Clemmen +3

We describe a novel technique for performing a single-shot optical cross-correlation in nanowaveguides. Our scheme is based on four-wave mixing between two orthogonally polarized i…

Spatial patterns in the tropical forest reveal connections between negative feedback, aggregation and abundance

Efrat Seri, Nadav M. Shnerb

The spatial arrangement of trees in a tropical forest reflects the interplay between aggregating processes, like dispersal limitation, and negative feedback that induces effective…

Neuronal Response Impedance Mechanism Implementing Cooperative Networks with Low Firing Rates and Microseconds Precision

Roni Vardi, Amir Goldental, Hagar Marmari +5

Realizations of low firing rates in neural networks usually require globally balanced distributions among excitatory and inhibitory links, while feasibility of temporal coding is l…
