Width-amplitude relation of Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal solitary waves
Li-Jen Chen, David J. Thouless, Jian-Ming Tang
Inequality width-amplitude relations for three-dimensional Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal solitary waves are derived for magnetized plasmas. Criteria for neglecting effects of nonzero cy…
Iordanskii and Lifshitz-Pitaevskii Forces in the Two-Fluid Model
Michael R. Geller, David J. Thouless, Sung-Wu Rhee +1
It has been known since the pioneering work of Onsager and Feynman that the statistical mechanics and dynamics of vortices play an essential role in the behavior of superfluids and…
Longitudinal Force on a Moving Potential
Jian-Ming Tang, D. J. Thouless
We show a formal result of the longitudinal force acting on a moving potential. The potential can be velocity-dependent, which appears in various interesting physical systems, such…
Quantized Vortices in Superfluids and Superconductors
D. J. Thouless, Ping Ao, Qian Niu +2
We give a general review of recent developments in the theory of vortices in superfluids and superconductors, discussing why the dynamics of vortices is important, and why some key…
Effective Vortex Dynamics in Superfluid Systems
C. Wexler, D. J. Thouless
An alternative approach to the derivation of the force on a vortex based in an adiabatic approximation in the action of the superfluid system is developed. Assuming that the vortex…
Quantum Hall Effect: Current Distribution and the Role of Measurement
K. Tsemekhman, V. Tsemekhman, C. Wexler +1
Based on very general arguments we show that for any geometry of the experiment, in the regime when the measurement leads to a quantized Hall conductivity, almost the entire curren…
