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…
Sequential fragmentation: The origin of columnar quasi-hexagonal patterns
E. A. Jagla, A. G. Rojo
We present a model that explains the origin and predicts the statistical properties of columnar quasi-hexagonal crack patterns, as observed in the columnar jointing of basaltic lav…
Slave fermion theory of confinement in strongly anisotropic systems
A. G. Rojo, C. A. Balseiro
We present a mean field treatment of a strongly correlated model of electrons in a three-dimensional anisotropic system. The mass of the bare electrons is larger in one spatial dir…
Superconductor--insulator transition in d-wave superconductors
A. G. Rojo, C. A. Balseiro
We address the question of whether an anisotropic gap symmetry is compatible with localized states in the normal phase. The issue is important in high supercond…
