We describe an algorithmic method to calculate the TT¯ deformed Lagrangian of a given seed theory by solving an algebraic system of equations. This method is derived from the topological gravity formulation of the deformation. ...

We analyze the finite temperature behaviour of massless conformally coupled scalar fields in homogeneous lens spaces S3/ℤp. High and low temperature expansions are explicitly computed and the behavior of thermodynamic ...

We construct, by a procedure involving a dimensional reduction from a ChernSimons theory with borders, an effective theory for 1 + 1 dimensional superconductor. That system can be either in an ordinary phase or in a ...

The two-dimensional charge transport with parallel (in plane) magnetic field is considered from the physical and mathematical point of view. To this end, we start with the magnetic field parallel to the plane of charge ...

In this article, a general method for shape-topology sensitivity analysis of contact problems is proposed. The method uses domain decomposition combined with specific properties of minimizers for the energy functional. The ...

Many proposals to generate a time-reversal invariant topological superconducting phase are based on imposing a π phase difference between the superconducting leads proximitizing a nanostructure. We show that this phase can ...

We develop the theory of quantum friction in two-dimensional topological materials. The quantum drag force on a metallic nanoparticle moving above such systems is sensitive to the nontrivial topology of their electronic ...

OBJECTIVE To stratify and understand the potential transmission processes of Zika virus in Colombia, in order to effectively address the efforts on surveillance and disease control. METHODS We compare R-0 of Zika for ...
