When a solid boundary deforms rapidly into a quiescent liquid layer, a flow is in- duced that can lead to jet formation. An asymptotic analytical solution is presented for this flow, driven by a solid boundary deforming ...

A geometrical analysis of the bulk and anti-de Sitter boundary unitarity conditions of 3D “Minimal Massive Gravity” (MMG) (which evades the “bulk/boundary clash” of Topologically Massive Gravity) is used to extend and ...

This thesis explores various perspectives on quantum phenomena, and how our understanding of these phenomena is informed by the study of general probabilistic theories. Particular attention is given to quantum nonlocality, ...

Motivated by recent experiments, we consider the hydrodynamic capture of a microswimmer near a stationary spherical obstacle. Simulations of model equations show that a swimmer approaching a small spherical colloid is ...

Coupled-channel πK and ηK scattering amplitudes are determined by studying the finite-volume energy spectra obtained from dynamical lattice QCD calculations. Using a large basis of interpolating operators, including both ...

Thinning and breakup of liquid filaments are central to dripping of leaky faucets, inkjet drop formation, and raindrop fragmentation. As the filament radius decreases, curvature and capillary pressure, both inversely ...

Transmitting data reliably over noisy communication channels is one of the most important applications of information theory, and is well understood for channels modelled by classical physics. However, when quantum effects ...

In this paper, the Wiener–Hopf factorization problem is presented in a unified framework with the Riemann–Hilbert factorization. This allows to establish the exact relationship between the two types of factorization. In ...

Open quantum systems weakly coupled to the environment are modeled by completely positive, trace preserving semigroups of linear maps. The generators of such evolutions are called Lindbladians. In the setting of ...

We prove that a homogeneous and isotropic universe containing a scalar field with a power-law potential, V(ϕ)=Aϕ^n, with 0<n<1 and A>0 always develops a finite-time singularity at which the Hubble rate and its first ...

The physics of many materials is modeled by quantum many-body systems with local interactions. If the model of the system is sensitive to noise from the environment, or small perturbations to the original interactions, ...

Thin, viscous fluid threads falling onto a moving belt behave in a way reminiscent of a sewing machine, generating a rich variety of periodic stitchlike patterns including meanders, W patterns, alternating loops, and ...

In Valiant's matchgate theory, 2-input 2-output matchgates are 4 4 matrices that satisfy ten so-called matchgate identities. We prove that the set of all such matchgates (including non-unitary and non-invertible ones) ...

This paper presents new stability results for matrix Wiener–Hopf factorization. The first part of the paper examines conditions for stability of Wiener–Hopf factorization in the Daniele–Khrapkov class. The second part of ...

Many microfluidic devices use macroscopic pressure differentials to overcome viscous friction and generate flows in microchannels. In this work, we investigate how the chemical and geometric properties of the channel walls ...

Rubano and Barrow have discussed the emergence of a dark energy, with late-time cosmic acceleration arising from a self-interacting homogeneous scalar field with a potential of hyperbolic power type. Here, we study the ...

When two spherical bubbles touch, a hole is formed in the fluid sheet between them, and capillary pressure acting on its tightly curved edge drives an outward radial flow which widens the hole joining the bubbles. Recent ...

ATLAS recently reported a 3σ excess in a leptonic-Z+E_T^miss channel. This was interpreted in the literature in a simplified general gauge mediation model containing a gluino, a Higgsino next-to-lightest supersymmetric ...

We investigate the effects of an opposing buoyancy force on the performance of an air curtain in the doorway which separates a warm indoor environment from the cold exterior. Such an opposing buoyancy force arises for ...
