Chirality and fermion number in a knotted soliton background

Lisa Freyhult, Antti J. Niemi

We consider the coupling of a single Dirac fermion to the three component unit vector field which appears as an order parameter in the Faddeev model. Classically, the coupling is d…

Parity Effects in Spin Decoherence

A. Melikidze, V. V. Dobrovitski, H. A. De Raedt +2

We demonstrate that decoherence of many-spin systems can drastically differ from decoherence of single-spin systems. The difference originates at the most basic level, being determ…

Comparing strings in AdS(5)xS(5) to planar diagrams: an example

V. Pestun, K. Zarembo

The correlator of a Wilson loop with a local operator in N=4 SYM theory can be represented by a string amplitude in AdS(5)xS(5). This amplitude describes an overlap of the boundary…

Three-component modeling of C-rich AGB star winds I. Method and first results

C. Sandin, S. Hoefner

Radiative acceleration of newly-formed dust grains and transfer of momentum from the dust to the gas plays an important role for driving winds of AGB stars. Therefore a detailed de…
