The coset construction for particles of arbitrary spin
Michael J. Landry, Guanhao Sun
When a Poincaré-invariant system spontaneously breaks continuous internal symmetries, Goldstones's theorem demands the existence of massless, spin-zero excitations in a one-to-one…
A polynomial invariant for veering triangulations
Michael Landry, Yair N. Minsky, Samuel J. Taylor
We introduce a polynomial invariant associated to a veering triangulation of a -manifold . In the special case where the triang…
Angular Momentum about the Contact Point for Control of Bipedal Locomotion: Validation in a LIP-based Controller
Yukai Gong, Jessy Grizzle
In the control of bipedal locomotion, linear velocity of the center of mass has been widely accepted as a primary variable for summarizing a robot's state vector. The ubiquitous ma…
Effective Field Theory for Quasicrystals and Phasons Dynamics
Matteo Baggioli, Michael Landry
We build an effective field theory (EFT) for quasicrystals -- aperiodic incommensurate lattice structures -- at finite temperature, entirely based on symmetry arguments and a well-…
Dynamical chemistry: non-equilibrium effective actions for reactive fluids
Michael J. Landry
We present two approaches for describing chemical reactions taking place in fluid phase. The first method mirrors the usual derivation of the hydrodynamic equations of motion by re…
Veering triangulations and the Thurston norm: homology to isotopy
Michael P. Landry
We show that a veering triangulation specifies a face of the Thurston norm ball of a closed three-manifold, and computes the Thurston norm in the cone over . Further, we…
