چکیده
Diffusion limited reaction of the Lotka-Volterra type is analyzed taking into account the discrete nature of the reactants. In the continuum approximation, the dynamics is dominated by an elliptic fixed-point over the whole parameter space of the system. Discretization effects break the parameter space into several phases where the system exhibits a distinct behavior: The fixed-point becomes either stable (node or focus) or unstable (node or focus). The results are verified by extensive numerical simulations. These simulations also suggest that, in the unstable phase, a new ground state is formed, where the dynamics flows into a limit cycle.

It is shown that a true Nambu-Goldstone (NG) boson develops a coherent long-range field whenever the charge associated with it that is carried by the other particles is not conserved in a macroscopic scale. The source of a NG field is the time rate of quantum number violation. If the lepton numbers are spontaneously broken at a scale below 1 TeV, the neutrino oscillation processes generate long...

To further improve the performance of Monte Carlo simulations of first-order phase transitions we propose to combine the multicanonical approach with multigrid techniques. We report tests of this proposition for the d-dimensional Φ4 field theory in two different situations. First, we study quantum tunneling for d = 1 in the continuum limit, and second, we investigate first-order phase transitio...

We report a study of the ferromagnetism of ZrZn2, the most promising material to exhibit ferromagnetic quantum criticality, at low temperatures T as function of pressure p. We find that the ordered ferromagnetic moment disappears discontinuously at pc=16.5 kbar. Thus a tricritical point separates a line of first order ferromagnetic transitions from second order (continuous) transitions at highe...
