Dark matter in axion landscape
Abstract If there are a plethora of axions in nature, they may have a complicated potential and create an axion landscape. We study a possibility that one of the axions is so light that it is cosmologically stable, explaining the observed dark...

Generalising the coupling between spacetime and matter
Abstract We explore the idea that the coupling between matter and spacetime is more complex than the one originally envisioned by Einstein. We propose that such coupling takes the form of a new fundamental tensor in the Einstein field equations. We...

Performance of low-power RFID tags based on modulated backscattering
Abstract Ultra Wideband (UWB) modulated backscattering (MBS) passive Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems provide a promising solution to overcome many limitations of current narrowband RFID devices. This work addresses the performance of...

Quantum jumps, superpositions, and the continuous evolution of quantum states
Abstract The apparent dichotomy between quantum jumps on the one hand, and continuous time evolution according to wave equations on the other hand, provided a challenge to Bohr's proposal of quantum jumps in atoms. Furthermore, Schrödinger's...

The Heisenberg algebra as near horizon symmetry of the black flower solutions of Chern–Simons-like theories of gravity
Abstract In this paper we study the near horizon symmetry algebra of the non-extremal black hole solutions of the Chern–Simons-like theories of gravity, which are stationary but are not necessarily spherically symmetric. We define the extended...

Quantum “violation” of Dirichlet boundary condition
Abstract Dirichlet boundary conditions have been widely used in general relativity. They seem at odds with the holographic property of gravity simply because a boundary configuration can be varying and dynamic instead of dying out as required by the ...

The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)
Abstract The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) expands observation space by simultaneously adding polarization to the array of X-ray source properties currently measured (energy, time, and location). IXPE will thus open new dimensions for...

Minicharged particles search by strong laser pulse-induced vacuum polarization effects
Abstract Laser-based searches of the yet unobserved vacuum birefringence might be sensitive for very light hypothetical particles carrying a tiny fraction of the electron charge. We show that, with the help of contemporary techniques, polarimetric...

A simple turbulent two-fluid model
Abstract We present in this paper a simple turbulent two-phase flow model using the two-fluid approach. The model, which relies on the classical ensemble averaging, allows the computation of unsteady flows including shock waves, rarefaction waves,...

On infrared problems of effective Lagrangians of massive spin 2 fields coupled to gauge fields
Abstract In this paper we analyze the interactions of massive spin-2 particles charged under both Abelian and non-Abelian group using the Porrati–Rahman Lagrangian. This theory is valid up to an intrinsic cutoff scale. Phenomenologically a theory...

A laboratory investigation concerning the superharmonic free wave suppression in shallow and intermediate water conditions
Abstract This paper concerns laboratory wavemaking in shallow and intermediate water conditions. A comparison is made between two wave generation techniques, a first based on controlling the wavemaker displacement, and a second based on controlling...
