In the absence of a full analytical treatment of nonlinear structure formation in the universe, numerical simulations provide the critical link between the properties of the underlying model and the features of the observed structures. Currently N-body sim ...
We propose a scheme leading to a non-perturbative definition of lattice field theories which are scale-invariant on the quantum level. A key idea of the construction is the replacement of the lattice spacing by a propagating dynamical field - the dilaton. ...
We analyse one-loop radiative corrections to the inflationary potential in the theory, where inflation is driven by the Standard Model Higgs field. We show that inflation is possible provided the Higgs mass mH lies in the interval mmin < mH < mmax, where m ...
We set up a gauge finite element formulation of the 2D steady state incompressible Stokes problem. This formulation allows to decouple the two unknowns from the equations and to take account for the boundary conditions in a non-iterative way. A finite elem ...
We report inelastic x-ray scattering experiments on the lattice dynamics in SmFeAsO and superconducting SmFeAsO0.60F0.35 single crystals. Particular attention was paid to the dispersions along the [100] direction of three optical modes close to 23 meV, pol ...
We investigate the role of boundary conditions in gauge theories in AdS(4). The presence of the boundary can break the gauge symmetry consistently with AdS(4) isometries. We show that, as a consequence, the gauge bosons associated to the broken symmetries ...
We use thermal diffuse scattering of x rays to visualize the lens-shaped portions of the Fermi surface in metallic zinc. Our interpretation of the nature of the observed scattered intensity anomalies is supported by the incorporation of inelastic x-ray sca ...
Simulation of the coherent dynamics of a large lattice of strongly coupled nuclear spins is demonstrated. The evolution of N spins is simulated in a reduced Liouville space X which excludes coherences involving more than k spins, where k < N is chosen to ...
We present a measurement of the charmless semileptonic decay B-0 -> pi(-) l(+) nu using a data sample containing 657 x 10(6) B (B) over bar events collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider operating near the Y(4S) re ...
We show that the statistics of the charge transfer of noninteracting fermions through a two-lead contact is generalized binomial at any temperature and for any form of the scattering matrix: an arbitrary charge-transfer process can be decomposed into indep ...
