The field-theoretic description of dynamic critical effects of the disorder on acoustic anomalies near the temperature of second-order phase transition is considered for three-dimensional Ising-like systems. The ...

We consider the quantum dot entangler device introduced by Oliver et al. [1] coupled to a single phonon mode. While we take the phonon interaction to all orders, we perform a fourth order calculation in electron-dot coupling. ...

In condensed matter physics and related areas, topological defects play important roles in phase transitions and critical phenomena. Homotopy theory facilitates the classification of such topological defects. After ...

The Mochima theoretical physics spring school on the Foundations of statistical and mesoscopic physics took place in Mochima, Edo. Sucre, Venezuela, between the 20th and 24th of June 2005. The Mochima biological station, ...

The time-delayed feedback control mechanisms of the nervous system are continuously subjected to the effects of uncontrolled random perturbations (herein referred to as noise). In this setting the statistical properties of ...

This paper gives a brief introduction to using two-dimensional discrete and Euclidean quantum gravity approaches as a laboratory for studying the properties of fluctuating and frozen random graphs in interaction with ...
