The electromagnetic Casimir interaction between dielectric objects immersed in salted water includes a universal contribution that is not screened by the solvent and therefore long-ranged. Here, we study the geometry of two parallel dielectric cylinders. W ...
In scale-invariant theories of gravity the Planck mass M-p, which appears due to spontaneous symmetry breaking, can be the only scale at the classical level. It was argued that the second scale can be generated by a quantum nonperturbative gravitational ef ...
We consider a problem of labeling a memoryless temporal point process. The labelings have to be done causally. We study the tradeoff between the rate and age of the labeled process and characterize the optimal tradeoff curve. We show that the optimal curve ...
The current lack of adapted performance metrics leads clinicians to focus on what children with cerebral palsy (CP) do in a clinical setting, despite the ongoing debate on whether capacity (what they do at best) adequately reflects performance (what they d ...
We consider a problem of labeling a memoryless temporal point process. The labelings have to be done causally. We study the tradeoff between the rate and age of the labeled process and characterize the optimal tradeoff curve. We show that the optimal curve ...
We study gravity coupled to scalar and fermion fields in the Einstein-Cartan framework. We discuss the most general form of the action that contains terms of mass dimension not bigger than four, leaving out only contributions quadratic in curvature. By res ...
IMPACT STATEMENT Experiments and theory are highlighting chemical ordering in high-entropy alloys (HEAs) as important for mechanical properties but the high strength in CoCrFeNiPd is predicted here to be achievable in the random alloy due to the large misf ...
After calibrating the predictions of the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure against several sets of simulations, as well as implementing a new method to assert the scale cut of the theory without the use of any simulation, we analyze the Full ...
We find the conditions under which scale-invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity with scalar matter fields leads to an approximate conformal invariance of the flat space particle theory up to energies of the order of the Planck mass. In the minimal setup, these ...
