We find a new type of topological vortex solution in the U(1)(Z) xU(1)(A) Chern-Simons gauge theory in the presence of a U(1)(A) magnetic field background. In this theory U(1)(Z) is broken spontaneously by the U(1)(A) magnetic field. These vortices exhibit ...
Limited liability creates an incentive for insurers to increase the risk of the assets and liabilities at the expense of policyholders. We show that solvency capital requirements restrict the set of feasible investment and premium policies and can thereby ...
Boom Clay is extensively studied as a potential candidate to host underground nuclear waste disposal in Belgium. To guarantee the safety of such a disposal, the mechanical behaviour of the clay during gallery excavation must be properly predicted. In that ...
In this dissertation, I argue that employee mobility is a key consideration of the firm. Firms often rely on human assets to generate and maintain knowledge. When key individuals depart the firm, they take knowledge with them, potentially undermining the f ...
Topological insulators do not allow conduction in the bulk, yet they support edge modes that travel along the boundary only in one direction, determined by the carried electron spin, with inherent robustness to defects and disorder. Topological insulators ...
Invisibility is often thought to occur because of the low-level limitations of the visual system. For example, it is often assumed that backward masking renders a target invisible because the visual system is simply too slow to resolve the target and the m ...
A generalised time reversal symmetry for systems subject to a constant magnetic field is introduced, based on the analogy between the evolution equations of these systems and those of a system subject to shear. This generalisation makes it possible to deri ...
We report measurements of branching fractions and time-dependent CP asymmetries in B-0 -> D+D- and B-0 -> D*D-+/-(-/+) decays using a data sample that contains (772 +/- 11) x 10(6)B (B) over bar pairs collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle detecto ...
Motivated by the ongoing investigation of SrCu2(BO3)(2) under pressure, we study a variant of the two-dimensional Shastry-Sutherland (SS) spin-1/2 model with two types of dimers. Combined with the frustration of the SS model, this modification induces, in ...
Standard innovation surveys do not consider incoming spillovers for non-innovative firms. As a consequence, usual empirical works may overestimate the absorptive capacity effect, particularly among competitors. The Swiss innovation surveys presented here m ...
