Phenomenology of loop quantum cosmology

Mairi Sakellariadou

After introducing the basic ingredients of Loop Quantum Cosmology, I will briefly discuss some of its phenomenological aspects. Those can give some useful insight about the full Lo…

Fluid phase coexistence and critical behaviour from simulations in the restricted Gibbs ensemble

Douglas J. Ashton, Nigel B. Wilding, Peter Sollich

The symmetrical restricted Gibbs ensemble (RGE) is a version of the Gibbs ensemble in which particles are exchanged between two boxes of fixed equal volumes. It has recently come t…

Y-system, TBA and Quasi-Classical Strings in AdS4 x CP3

Nikolay Gromov, Fedor Levkovich-Maslyuk

We study the exact spectrum of the AdS4/CFT3 duality put forward by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena (ABJM). We derive thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) equations for the pl…

Levy Random Bridges and the Modelling of Financial Information

Edward Hoyle, Lane P. Hughston, Andrea Macrina

The information-based asset-pricing framework of Brody, Hughston and Macrina (BHM) is extended to include a wider class of models for market information. In the BHM framework, each…

Heterotic Black Horizons

J. Gutowski, G. Papadopoulos

We show that the supersymmetric near horizon geometry of heterotic black holes is either an AdS_3 fibration over a 7-dimensional manifold which admits a G_2 structure compatible wi…

Universal sum and product rules for random matrices

Tim Rogers

The spectral density of random matrices is studied through a quaternionic generalisation of the Green's function, which precisely describes the mean spectral density of a given mat…

Attractive Lagrangians for Noncanonical Inflation

Paul Franche, Rhiannon Gwyn, Bret Underwood +1

Treating inflation as an effective theory, we expect the effective Lagrangian to contain higher-dimensional kinetic operators suppressed by the scale of UV physics. When these oper…

Spectral density of random graphs with topological constraints

Tim Rogers, Conrad Pérez Vicente, Koujin Takeda +1

The spectral density of random graphs with topological constraints is analysed using the replica method. We consider graph ensembles featuring generalised degree-degree correlation…

The Birman-Schwinger principle on the essential spectrum

Alexander Pushnitski

Let and be self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space. We consider the spectral projections of and corresponding to a semi-infinite interval of the real line. We…

Pricing Fixed-Income Securities in an Information-Based Framework

Lane P. Hughston, Andrea Macrina

In this paper we introduce a class of information-based models for the pricing of fixed-income securities. We consider a set of continuous- time information processes that describe…

Large deviations and ensembles of trajectories in stochastic models

Robert L Jack, Peter Sollich

We consider ensembles of trajectories associated with large deviations of time-integrated quantities in stochastic models. Motivated by proposals that these ensembles are relevant…

Duality symmetries in driven one-dimensional hopping models

Peter Sollich, Robert L Jack

We consider some duality relations for models of non-interacting particles hopping on disordered one-dimensional chains. In particular, we discuss symmetries of bulk-driven barrier…

On the relation between an operator and its self-commutator

N. Filonov, Y. Safarov

Our main result is a theorem saying that a bounded operator on a Hilbert space belongs to a certain set associated with its self-commutator , provided that can…

Cosmic Superstrings: Dynamics and Cusps

William Nelson

Whilst standard field theoretic Cosmic Strings cannot end, Cosmic Superstrings can form three string junctions, at which each string ends. This opens up a new class of possible bou…

Constraint-based Local Move Definitions for Lattice Protein Models Including Side Chains

Martin Mann, Mohamed Abou Hamra, Kathleen Steinhöfel +1

The simulation of a protein's folding process is often done via stochastic local search, which requires a procedure to apply structural changes onto a given conformation. Here, we…

Comments on branon dressing and the Standard Model

Jean Alexandre, Darrel Yawitch

This technical note shows how Electrodynamics and a Yukawa model are dressed after integrating out perturbative brane fluctuations, and it is found that first order corrections in…

Crystalline phases of polydisperse spheres

Peter Sollich, Nigel B. Wilding

We use specialized Monte Carlo simulation methods and moment free energy calculations to provide conclusive evidence that dense polydisperse spheres at equilibrium demix into coexi…

Cosmological Constant and Local Gravity

Jose Bernabeu, Catalina Espinoza, Nick E. Mavromatos

We discuss the linearization of Einstein equations in the presence of a cosmological constant, by expanding the solution for the metric around a flat Minkowski space-time. We demon…

Extensions of rank one (phi, Gamma)-modules and crystalline representations

Seunghwan Chang, Fred Diamond

Let K be a finite unramified extension of Q_p. We parametrize the (phi, Gamma)-modules corresponding to reducible two-dimensional mod p representations of G_K and characterize thos…

Cosmological consequences of the NonCommutative Geometry Spectral Action

Mairi Sakellariadou

Cosmological consequences of the noncommutative geometry spectral action are presented. Neglecting the nonminimal coupling of the Higgs field to the curvature, background cosmology…

Generating functional analysis of complex formation and dissociation in large protein interaction networks

A. C. C. Coolen, S. Rabello

We analyze large systems of interacting proteins, using techniques from the non-equilibrium statistical mechanics of disordered many-particle systems. Apart from protein production…

An axisymmetric evolution code for the Einstein equations on hyperboloidal slices

Oliver Rinne

We present the first stable dynamical numerical evolutions of the Einstein equations in terms of a conformally rescaled metric on hyperboloidal hypersurfaces extending to future nu…

Defect lines, dualities, and generalised orbifolds

Jürg Fröhlich, Jürgen Fuchs, Ingo Runkel +1

Defects are a useful tool in the study of quantum field theories. This is illustrated in the example of two-dimensional conformal field theories. We describe how defect lines and t…
