چکیده
We consider the problem of the Winterbottom’s construction and Young’s equation in the presence of a rough substate and establish their microscopic validity within a 1 + 1–dimensional SOS type model. We then present the low temperature expansion of the wall tension leading to the Wenzel’s law for the wall tension and its corrections. Finally, for a fix roughness, we compare the influence of different geometries of the substrate on wetting properties. We show that there is an optimal geometry with a given roughness for a certain class of simple substrates. Our results are in agreement and explain recent numerical simulations.

A model unifying superconductivity and antiferromagnetism using an underlying approximate SO(5) symmetry has injected energy into the field of high-temperature superconductivity. This model might lead to a variety of interesting solitons. In this paper, the idea that superconducting vortices may have antiferromagnetic cores is presented, along with the results of some preliminary numerical work...

The recent discovery of heavy-Fermion properties in Lithium Vanadate and the enormous difference in its properties from the properties of Lithium Ti-tanate as well as of the manganite compounds raise some puzzling questions about strongly correlated Fermions. These are disscussed as well as a solution to the puzzles provided.

K-theory allows us to define an analytical condition for the existence of 'false' gauge field copies through the use of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. After establishing that result we discuss a possible extension of the same result without the help of the index theorem and suggest possible related lines of work.
