Generalized statistics in one dimension Les Houches Lectures , Summer 1998

An exposition of the different definitions and approaches to quantum statistics is given, with emphasis in one-dimensional situations. Permutation statistics, scattering statistics and exclusion statistics are analyzed. The Calogero model, matrix model and spin chain models constitute specific realizations.

Les Houches Winter School: Physics and Astrophysics of Planetary Systems

Atomic hydrogen escaping from the extrasolar giant planet HD209458b provides the largest observational signature ever detected for an extrasolar planet atmosphere. In fact, the upper atmosphere of this planet is evaporating. Observational evidences and interpretations coming from various models are reviewed. Implications for exoplanetology are discussed.

SUSY Les Houches Accord 2

The Supersymmetry Les Houches Accord (SLHA) [1] provides a universal set of conventions for conveying spectral and decay information for supersymmetry analysis problems in high energy physics. Here, we propose extensions of the conventions of the first SLHA to include various generalisations: the minimal supersymmetric standard model with violation of CP, R-parity, and flavour, as well as the s...

Les Houches Lectures on Strings and Arithmetic∗

These are lecturenotes for two lectures delivered at the Les Houches workshop on Number Theory, Physics, and Geometry, March 2003. They review two examples of interesting interactions between number theory and string compactification, and raise some new questions and issues in the context of those examples. The first example concerns the role of the Rademacher expansion of coefficients of modul...
