Softly Massive Gravity
Large-distance modification of gravity may be the mechanism for solving the cosmological constant problem. A simple model of the large-distance modification — four-dimensional (4D) gravity with the hard mass term— is problematic from the theoretical standpoint. Here we discuss a different model, the brane-induced gravity, that effectively introduces a soft graviton mass. We study the issues of ...
متن کاملSoftly Broken Supersymmetry
We examine the supersymmetric non-linear O(N) sigma model with a soft breaking term. In two dimensions, we found that the mass difference between supersymmetric partner fields vanishes accidentally. In three dimensions, the mass difference is observed but O(N) symmetry is always broken also in the strong coupling region. [email protected] 1
متن کاملSlicing softly with shear.
A soft solid is more easily sliced using a combination of normal and shearing deformations rather than diced by squeezing down on it normally with the same knife. To explain why this is so, we experimentally probe the slicing and dicing of a soft agar gel with a wire, and complement this with theory and numerical simulations of cutting of a highly deformable solid. We find that purely normal de...
متن کاملViscoelastic Dewetting of Constrained Polymer Thin Films
Thin films of fluids are playing a leading role in countless natural and industrial processes. Here we study the stability and dewetting dynamics of viscoelastic polymer thin films. The dewetting of polystyrene close to the glass transition reveals unexpected features: asymmetric rims collecting the dewetted liquid and logarithmic growth laws that we explain by considering the nonlinear velocit...
متن کاملSoftly Focusing On Data
A computational approach providing a focus for unsupervised, reactive, data mining is suggested. In data mining, achieving focus is an important issue. This is because there are too many attributes and values in a real database to consider them all. A soft focus is suggested as both data and the focus product may be imprecise. An approach is suggested for unsupervised search controlled by progr...
