S. Petrov 5, 6, V. Gritsev 7, S. Manz 3, S. Hofferberth 8, T. Schumm 3, 9, E. Demler 8, J. Schmiedmayer 3 Physical Review A: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics 80 (2009) 033604 We investigate theoretically the evolution of the two-point density correlation function of a low-dimensional ultracold Bose gas after release from a tight transverse confinement. In the course of expansion thermal and quantum fluctuations

Saburo Higuchi 1, Marc Mézard 2 Journal of statistical mechanics-theory and experiment (2009) P12009 We study hard constraint satisfaction problems with a decimation approach based on message passing algorithms. Decimation induces a renormalization flow in the space of problems, and we exploit the fact that this flow transforms some of the constraints into linear constraints over GF(2). In particular,

V. Shlyapnikov 1, 3 JETP Letters / Sov Phys JETP Lett 90 (2009) 289-294 We develop an effective field theory for finding critical properties of 1D spin gapped fermions at the onset of magnetization. It is shown how the spin-charge interaction leads to a linear critical behavior and finite susceptibility for a wide range

Alejandro B. Kolton 1, Alberto Rosso 2, Thierry Giamarchi 3, Werner Krauth 4 Physical Review B 79 (2009) 184207 We study the steady state of driven elastic strings in disordered media below the depinning threshold. In the low-temperature limit, for a fixed sample, the steady state is dominated by a single configuration, which we determine exactly from the transition pathways between metastable states.

Julien Randon-Furling 1, Satya N. Majumdar 1, Alain Comtet 1, 2 Physical Review Letters 103 (2009) 140602 We compute exactly the mean perimeter and area of the convex hull of N independent planar Brownian paths each of duration T, both for open and closed paths. We show that the mean perimeter < L_N > = \alpha_N, \sqrt{T} and the mean area =

Excluded volume effects due to molecular crowding would lead to correlations between molecules even without specific interactions. What is the

For a small object we present analytical calculations of the force, which is directed away from the center of the
