Several systems discussed at this workshop on Spatio-Temporal Patterns in Nonequilibrium Complex Systems have been related to or analyzed in the context of the so-called Complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGL). What is the difference between the physics underlying the usual amplitude description for stationary patterns and the one underlying the CGL? Why are there many more stable coherent struc...

In this paper, we present new estimates for the entropy dissipation of Landau-Fermi-Dirac equation (with hard or moderately soft potentials) in terms a weighted relative Fisher information adapted to equation. Such are used studying large time behaviour equation, as well providing priori (in potential case). An important feature such is that they uniform with respect quantum parameter. Conseque...

We study the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for the dynamics of a magnetic vortex system. We include the spin-torque effects of an applied spin current, and rigorously derive an equation of motion (“Thiele equation”) for vortices if the current is not too large. Our method of proof strongly utilizes the geometry of the problem in order to obtain the necessary energy estimates.

It is shown that partial incoherence, in the form of stochastic phase noise, of a Langmuir wave in an unmagnetized plasma gives rise to a Landau-type damping. Starting from the Zakharov equations, which describe the nonlinear interaction between Langmuir and ion-acoustic waves, a kinetic equation is derived for the plasmons by introducing the Wigner-Moyal transform of the complex Langmuir wave ...

We propose a fermion Chern-Simons field theory describing two-dimensional electrons in the lowest Landau level. This theory is constructed with a complete set of states, and the lowest Landau level constraint is enforced through a δ-functional described by an auxiliary field λ. Unlike the field theory constructed directly with the states in the lowest Landau level, this theory allows one utiliz...

The cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation is one of the most-studied nonlinear equations in the physics community. It describes a vast variety of phenomena from nonlinear waves to secondorder phase transitions, from superconductivity, superfluidity and Bose-Einstein condensation to liquid crystals and strings in field theory. Our goal is to give an overview of various phenomena described the c...

The existence, stability properties, and bifurcation diagram of the nematic umbilical defects is studied. Close to the Fréedericksz transition of nematic liquid crystals with negative anisotropic dielectric constant and homeotropic anchoring, an anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau equation for the amplitude of the tilt of the director away from the vertical axis is derived by taking the three-dimension...

We study a mixed heat and Schrödinger Ginzburg-Landau evolution equation on a bounded two-dimensional domain with an electric current applied on the boundary and a pinning potential term. This is meant to model a superconductor subjected to an applied electric current and electromagnetic field and containing impurities. Such a current is expected to set the vortices in motion, while the pinning...

We present some mathematical aspects of Landau-Ginzburg string vacua in terms of toric geometry. The one-to-one correspondence between toric divisors and some of (−1, 1) states in Landau-Ginzburg model is presented for superpotentials of typical types. The Landau-Ginzburg interpretation of non-toric divisors is also presented. Using this interpretation, we propose a method to solve the so-calle...

We describe how to obtain electronic transport properties of disordered graphene, including the tight binding model and nearest neighbor hopping. We present a new method for computing, electronic transport wave function and Greens function of the disordered Graphene. In this method, based on the small rectangular approximation, break up the potential barriers in to small parts. Then using the f...
