Despite numerous computational advances over the last few decades, molecular dynamics still favors explicit (and thus easily-parallelizable) time integrators for large scale numerical simulation. As a consequence, computational efficiency in solving its typically stiff oscillatory equations of motion is hampered by stringent stability requirements on the time step size. In this paper, we presen...

We examine two semi-analytical methods for estimating the baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU) generated in scenarios of “local” electroweak baryogenesis (in which the requisite baryon number violation and CP violation occur together in space and time). We work with the standard electroweak theory augmented by the addition of a CP violating dimension six operator. We work in the context of a ...

We present semi-analytic models of galactic outflows that are constrained by available observations on high redshift star formation and reionization. Galactic outflows are modeled in a manner akin to models of stellar wind blown bubbles. Large scale outflows can generically escape from low mass halos (M . 10 M ) for a wide range of model parameters while this is not the case in high mass halos ...

We report on the detailed experimental determination of the threshold for modulational instability in a photorefractive single-mirror feedback system using a Fourier control technique. Results are compared to analytical predictions and a disagreement for the experimentally significant multiple pattern region is found. Implications for the generation of nonhexagonal two-dimensional patterns are ...

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature autocorrelations, induced by a magnetized adiabatic mode of curvature inhomogeneities, are computed with semianalytical methods. As suggested by the latest CMB data, a nearly scale-invariant spectrum for the adiabatic mode is consistently assumed. In this situation, the effects of a fully inhomogeneous magnetic field are scrutinized and constrai...

The Bethe–Salpeter equation for bound states of a fermion–antifermion pair in the instantaneous approximation for the involved interaction kernel is converted into an equivalent matrix eigenvalue problem with explicitly (algebraically) given matrices.

The eigenvalue equation of a semirelativistic Hamiltonian composed of the relativistic kinetic term of spin-0 particles and static interactions is called spinless Salpeter equation. It is regarded as relativistic generalization of the nonrelativistic Schrödinger approach, or as approximation to the homogeneous Bethe–Salpeter equation in its instantaneous limit. The nonlocality inherent to this ...
