What is the maximum radius of cold planets?
David Garfinkle, Alberto G. Rojo
Planets have maximum radii close to that of Jupiter. Qualitatively, the reason for this maximum size is that, as one adds mass, the force of gravity becomes sufficiently strong to…
Common principles behind rainbows and boat wakes
Eduardo A. Jagla, Alberto G. Rojo
Rainbows and boat wakes may seem unrelated, but they share deep mathematical connections through ray folding, caustics, and Airy interference. This paper explores these principles,…
The chiral knife edge: a simplified rattleback to illustrate spin inversion
Eduardo A. Jagla, Alberto G. Rojo
We present the chiral knife edge rattleback, an alternative version of previously presented systems that exhibit spin inversion. We offer a full treatment of the model using qualit…
Matrix exponential solution of the Landau-Zener problem
Alberto G. Rojo
We present a derivation of the Landau-Zener solution through the explicit evaluation of the time ordered propagator. The result is exact and does not involve the solution of the di…
