Has DAMA Detected Self-Interacting Dark Matter?
Saibal Mitra
We consider a model in which dark matter consists of a large self-interacting component (SIDM particles) and a small component with strong interactions with baryons (SIMPs). We sho…
Uranus's anomalously low excess heat constrains strongly interacting dark matter
Saibal Mitra
Dark matter annihilations can generate significant amounts of internal heat inside planets if dark matter consists mainly of particles with nuclear cross sections in the micro-barn…
Osculating Random Walks on Cylinders
Saibal Mitra, Bernard Nienhuis
We consider random paths on a square lattice which take a left or a right turn at every vertex. The possible turns are taken with equal probability, except at a vertex which has be…
Expansions about Free-Fermion Models
Saibal Mitra
A simple technique for expanding the free energy of general six-vertex models about free-fermion points is introduced. This technique is used to verify a Coulomb gas prediction abo…
Renormalization Group Studies of Vertex Models
Saibal Mitra
In this thesis we use renormalization group methods to study the critical behaviour of the staggered F-model. This model is a six vertex model that can be used to calculate the the…
