26. Study of the phase diagram of Zn symmetric chains
Sammanfattning : In this thesis we study the phase diagrams of Zn symmetric chains. We start with investigating the topological phases of the Kitaev chain, a Z2 symmetric model, with long range couplings and a phase gradient. LÄS MER
27. Jamming and Soft-Core Rheology
Sammanfattning : Many different physical systems, such as granular materials, colloids, foams and emulsions exhibit a jamming transition where the system changes from a liquid-like flowing state to a solid jammed state as the packing fraction increases. These systems are often modeled using soft-core particles with repulsive contact forces. LÄS MER
28. Supersymmetry, branes and the mysterious M
Sammanfattning : String theory is the only known theory that unifies general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent way. In recent years there has been a dramatic progress in the understanding of the non-perturbative aspects of string theory. It is now believed that string theory is part of a larger theory called M-theory. LÄS MER
29. Nonlinear Dynamics and Condensed States with Broken Symmetries
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns two topics where symmetry and strong correlations in time and space are important. The first topic is the theory of dynamical systems, and this theory deals with generic phenomena which are often convenient to study in very simple models. LÄS MER
30. Some applications of representation theory in homogeneous dynamics and automorphic functions
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of an introduction and five papers in the general area of dynamics and functions on homogeneous spaces. A common feature is that representation theory plays a key role in all articles. LÄS MER
