We consider corrections to vanishing U_{e3} and maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing originating from the relation U = U_ell^dagger U_nu, where U is the PMNS mixing matrix and U_ell (U_nu) is associated with the diagonalization ...

We present an observational mass function ranging from galaxies to massive galaxy clusters, derived from direct dynamical mass estimates. Our mass function shows, in the low-mass range of galaxies and groups, a behaviour ...

We prove that in the 2d Ising Model with a weak bidimensional quasi-periodic disorder in the interaction, the critical behavior is the same as in the non-disordered case, that is the critical exponents are identical and ...

Gaugino screening, the absence of next-to-leading order corrections to gaugino masses, is a generic feature of gauge mediation models of supersymmetry breaking. We show that in a specific class of models, known as semi-direct ...

We study the approximation of quasistatic evolutions, formulated as abstract finite-dimensional rate-independent systems, via a vanishing-inertia asymptotic analysis of dynamic evolutions. We prove the uniform convergence ...

Visco-energetic solutions have been recently advanced as a new solution concept for rate-indepen dent systems, alternative to energetic solutions/quasistatic evolutions and balanced viscosity solutions. In the spirit of ...

Warped models, originating with the ideas of Randall and Sundrum, provide a fascinating extension of the standard model with interesting consequences for the LHC. We investigate in detail how string theory realises such ...

Given a bounded open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^d$ with Lipschitz boundary and an increasing family $\Gamma_t$, $t\in [0,T]$, of closed subsets of $\Omega$, we analyze the scalar wave equation $\ddot{u} - div (A \nabla ...
