Instanton theory of ground-state tunneling splittings with general paths

Christophe Louis Joseph Jean-Luc Vaillant, Mihael Erakovic

We derive a multidimensional instanton theory for calculating ground-state tunneling splittings in Cartesian coordinates for general paths. It is an extension of the method by Mil'nikov and Nakamura [J. Chem. Phys. 115, 6881 (2001)] to include asymmetric p ...

Perceptual grouping leads to objecthood effects in the Ebbinghaus illusion

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Einat Rashal

The Ebbinghaus illusion is argued to be a product of low-level contour interactions or a higher cognitive comparison process. We examined the effect of grouping on the illusion by manipulating objecthood, i.e., the degree to which an object is a cohesive p ...

On the stabilizing effect of rotation in the 3d Euler equations

Klaus Martin Widmayer

While it is well known that constant rotation induces linear dispersive effects in various fluid models, we study here its effect on long time nonlinear dynamics in the inviscid setting. More precisely, we investigate stability in the 3d rotating Euler equ ...

Propulsion and energetics of a minimal magnetic microswimmer

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In this manuscript we describe the realization of a minimal hybrid microswimmer, composed of a ferromagnetic nanorod and a paramagnetic microsphere. The unbounded pair is propelled in water upon application of a swinging magnetic field that induces a perio ...

Non-Abelian reciprocal braiding of Weyl points and its manifestation in ZrTe

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu

Weyl points in three-dimensional systems with certain symmetry carry non-Abelian topological charges, which can be transformed via non-trivial phase factors that arise upon braiding these points inside the reciprocal space. ...

Lumbar and thoracic kinematics during step-up: Comparison of three-dimensional angles between patients with chronic low back pain and asymptomatic individuals

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Guillaume Christe

While alterations in spinal kinematics have been repeatedly observed in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), their exact nature is still unknown. Specifically, there is a need for comprehensive assessments of multisegment spinal angles during daily- ...
