A renewal model for the emergence of anomalous solute crowding in liposomes
(BMC Systems Biology, 2015-12-31)A fundamental evolutionary step in the onset of living cells is thought to be the spontaneous formation of lipid vesicles (liposomes) in the pre-biotic mixture. Even though it is well known that hydrophobic forces drive ... -
AC-Conductivity Measure from Heat Production of Free Fermions in Disordered Media
(Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 2015-12-31)We extend (Bru et al. in J Math Phys 56:051901-1-51, 2015) in order to study the linear response of free fermions on the lattice within a (independently and identically distributed) random potential to a macroscopic electric ... -
Accuracy of Classical Conductivity Theory at Atomic Scales for Free Fermions in Disordered Media
(J. Math. Pures Appl., 2019-01-22)The growing need for smaller electronic components has recently sparked the interest in the breakdown of the classical conductivity theory near the atomic scale, at which quantum effects should dominate. In 2012, experimental ... -
Centre-of-mass like superposition of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes: A pathway to non-autonomous stochastic differential equations and to fractional diffusion
(Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis, 2018-10-25)We consider an ensemble of Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes featuring a population of relaxation times and a population of noise amplitudes that characterize the heterogeneity of the ensemble. We show that the centre-of-mass ... -
The challenge of brain complexity: A brief discussion about a fractal intermittency-based approach
(PhyCS 2016 - Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Physiological Computing Systems, 2016-10-30)In the last years, the complexity paradigm is gaining momentum in many research fields where large multidimensional datasets are made available by the advancements in instrumental technology. A complex system is a ... -
Characterization of the Quasi-Stationary State of an Impurity Driven by Monochromatic Light II: Microscopic Foundations
(Annales Henri Poincare, 2015-12-31)From quantum mechanical first principles only, we rigorously study the time-evolution of a N-level atom (impurity) interacting with an external monochromatic light source within an infinite system of free electrons at ... -
Combinatorial duality for Poincaré series, polytopes and invariants of plumbed 3-manifolds
(2018-06)Assume that the link of a complex normal surface singularity is a rational homology sphere. Then its Seiberg-Witten invariant can be computed as the ‘periodic constant’ of the topological multivariable Poincaré series (zeta ... -
Concurent multi-scale physical parametrization of fire-spotting: A study on the role of macro- and meso-scale characteristics of the system
(Advances in Forest Fire Research, 2018)The strong impact of wildfires in terms of lives and homes lost and of damage to ecosystems, calls for an urgent improvement in the risk management. The aim of the present research is the improvement of these software ... -
Criterion for logarithmic connections with prescribed residues
(Manucripta Mathematica, 2017-04-01)A theorem of Weil and Atiyah says that a holomorphic vector bundle $E$ on a compact Riemann surface $X$ admits a holomorphic connection if and only if the degree of every direct summand of $E$ is zero. Fix a finite subset ... -
Crossover from anomalous to normal diffusion: truncated power-law noise correlations and applications to dynamics in lipid bilayers
(New Journal of Physics, 2018-10-18)The emerging diffusive dynamics in many complex systems shows a characteristic crossover behaviour from anomalous to normal diffusion which is otherwise fitted by two independent power-laws. A prominent example for a ... -
D-Wave pairing driven by bipolaric modes related to giant electron-phonon anomalies in high-Tc superconductors
(Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2015-12-31)Taking into account microscopic properties of most usual high-Tc superconductors, like cuprates, we define a class of microscopic model Hamiltonians for two fermions (electrons or holes) and one boson (bipolaron) on the ... -
Darrieus-Landau instabilities in the framework of the G-equation
(Digital proceedings of the 8th European Combustion Meeting, 18-21 April 2017, Dubrovnik, Croatia, 2017-04)We consider a model formulation of the flame front propagation in turbulent premixed combustion based on stochastic fluctuations imposed to the mean flame position. In particular, the mean flame motion is described by ... -
Decay of Complex-time Determinantal and Pfaffian\ Correlation Functionals in Lattices
(Commun. Math. Phys., 2018-01-24)We supplement the determinantal and Pfaffian bounds of Sims and Warzel (Commun Math Phys 347:903--931, 2016) for many-body localization of quasi-free fermions, by considering the high dimensional case and complex-time ... -
Diagonalizing quadratic bosonic operators by non-autonomous flow equations volker bach
(Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society, 2016-01-01)We study a non-autonomous, non-linear evolution equation on the space of operators on a complex Hilbert space. We specify assumptions that ensure the global existence of its solutions and allow us to derive its asymptotics ... -
The Discreteness-driven Relaxation of Collisionless Gravitating Systems: Entropy Evolution in External Potentials, N-dependence, and the Role of Chaos
(The Astrophysical Journal, 2019-01-10)We investigate the old problem of the fast relaxation of collisionless N-body systems that are collapsing or perturbed, emphasizing the importance of (noncollisional) discreteness effects. We integrate orbit ensembles in ... -
Discretizations of the spectral fractional Laplacian on general domains with Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin boundary conditions
(2017-04-28)In this work, we propose novel discretisations of the spectral fractional Laplacian on bounded domains based on the integral formulation of the operator via the heat-semigroup formalism. Specifically, we combine suitable ... -
Effective self-similar expansion for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation
(Physical Review A, 2018-04)We consider an effective scaling approach for the free expansion of a one-dimensional quantum wave packet, consisting in a self-similar evolution to be satisfied on average, i.e., by integrating over the coordinates. A ... -
