Realistic models of particle physics include many scalar fields. These fields generically have nonminimal couplings to the Ricci curvature scalar, either as part of a generalized Einstein theory or as necessary counterterms for renormalization in curved ba ...
A systematic approach for a model independent description of phenomenology at the LHC is presented. The most general linear interaction of scalars and fermions with pairs of standard model fields is considered at the renormalizable level. Searches for the ...
We describe a general theoretical framework based on the Bergman spectral representation to study how a nanostructure interacts with an external electromagnetic field. The selection rules for localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) are obtained by imp ...
The performance of commonly used pseudopotentials for calcns. of nucleus-independent chem. shifts (NICS) at the center of coinage-metal rings (M4Li2 (D4h), M = Cu, Ag, Au) was studied. The scalar relativity, which has a nonnegligible effect on NICS, is acc ...
This work focuses on the approximation of parametric steady Navier-- Stokes equations by the reduced basis method. For a particular instance of the parameters under consideration, we are able to solve the underlying partial differential equations, compute ...
Pseudospectral methods are frequently used in the horizontal directions in large-eddy simulation of atmospheric flows. However, the same approach often creates unphysical oscillations for scalar fields if there are horizontal heterogeneities in the sources ...
The miniaturization trend in industry requires micro devices for handling and sensing in a micro environment. As the size of the handled objects decreases and their fragility increases, the demand for sensors with higher force sensitivity and resolution gr ...
The one-loop fermionic contribution to the probability of an instanton transition with fermion number violation is calculated in the chiral Abelian Higgs model in 1+1 dimensions, where the fermions have a Yukawa coupling to the scalar field. The dependence ...
We address the problem of reconstructing scalar and vector functions from non-uniform data. The reconstruction problem is formulated as a minimization problem where the cost is a weighted sum of two terms. The first data term is the quadratic measure of go ...
We present a method for the exact computation of the moments of a region bounded by a curve represented by a scaling function or wavelet basis. Using Green's Theorem, we show that the computation of the area moments is equivalent to applying a suitable mul ...
