On the structure function and survival signature for system reliability (2016)
Journal Article
Coolen, F., & Coolen-Maturi, T. (2016). On the structure function and survival signature for system reliability. Safety and Reliability, 36(2), 77-87. https://doi.org/10.1080/09617353.2016.1219936

The quantification of reliability of systems has, for decades, been based on the structure function, which expresses functioning of a system given the states of its components. One problem of the structure function is that, in its simplest form, for... Read More about On the structure function and survival signature for system reliability.

Phases of kinky holographic nuclear matter (2016)
Journal Article
Elliot-Ripley, M., Sutcliffe, P., & Zamaklar, M. (2016). Phases of kinky holographic nuclear matter. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016(10), Article 088. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep10%282016%29088

Holographic QCD at finite baryon number density and zero temperature is studied within the five-dimensional Sakai-Sugimoto model. We introduce a new approximation that models a smeared crystal of solitonic baryons by assuming spatial homogeneity to o... Read More about Phases of kinky holographic nuclear matter.

Butterflies with Rotation and Charge (2016)
Journal Article
Reynolds, A., & Ross, S. (2016). Butterflies with Rotation and Charge. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 33(21), Article 215008. https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/33/21/215008

We explore the butterfly effect for black holes with rotation or charge. We perturb rotating BTZ and charged black holes in 2 + 1 dimensions by adding a small perturbation on one asymptotic region, described by a shock wave in the spacetime, and expl...

First Order Mean Field Games with Density Constraints: Pressure Equals Price (2016)
Journal Article
Cardaliaguet, P., Mészáros, A. R., & Santambrogio, F. (2016). First Order Mean Field Games with Density Constraints: Pressure Equals Price. SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 54(5), 2672-2709. https://doi.org/10.1137/15m1029849

In this paper we study mean field game systems under density constraints as optimality conditions of two optimization problems in duality. A weak solution of the system contains an extra term, an additional price imposed on the saturated zones. We sh...

Holographic Magnetisation Density Waves (2016)
Journal Article
Donos, A., & Pantelidou, C. (2016). Holographic Magnetisation Density Waves. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016(10), Article 038. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep10%282016%29038

We numerically construct asymptotically AdS black brane solutions of D = 4 Einstein theory coupled to a scalar and two U(1) gauge fields. The solutions are holographically dual to d = 3 CFTs in a constant external magnetic field along one of the U(1)... Read More about Holographic Magnetisation Density Waves.

The moduli spaces of 3d N≥2 Chern-Simons gauge theories and their Hilbert series (2016)
Journal Article
Cremonesi, S., Mekareeya, N., & Zaffaroni, A. (2016). The moduli spaces of 3d N≥2 Chern-Simons gauge theories and their Hilbert series. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016(10), Article 046. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep10%282016%29046

We present a formula for the Hilbert series that counts gauge invariant chiral operators in a large class of 3d N≥2N≥2 Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theories. The formula counts ’t Hooft monopole operators dressed by gauge invariants of a residual gauge th... Read More about The moduli spaces of 3d N≥2 Chern-Simons gauge theories and their Hilbert series.

Photon-initiated processes at high mass (2016)
Journal Article
Harland-Lang, L., Khoze, V., & Ryskin, M. (2016). Photon-initiated processes at high mass. Physical Review D, 94(7), Article 074008. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.94.074008

We consider the influence of photon-initiated processes on high-mass particle production. We discuss in detail the photon parton distribution function (PDF) at relatively high parton x, relevant to such processes, and evaluate its uncertainties. In p...

Future needs and recommendations in the development of species sensitivity distributions: Estimating toxicity thresholds for aquatic ecological communities and assessing impacts of chemical exposures (2016)
Journal Article
Belanger, S., Barron, M., Craig, P., Dyer, S., Galay-Burgos, M., Hamer, M., …Whitehouse, P. (2016). Future needs and recommendations in the development of species sensitivity distributions: Estimating toxicity thresholds for aquatic ecological communities and assessing impacts of chemical exposures. Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, 13(4), 664-674. https://doi.org/10.1002/ieam.1841

A species sensitivity distribution (SSD) is a probability model of the variation of species sensitivities to a stressor, in particular chemical exposure. The SSD approach has been used as a decision support tool in environmental protection and manage...

Phase Field Models for Thin Elastic Structures with Topological Constraint (2016)
Journal Article

This article is concerned with the problem of minimising the Willmore energy in the class of connected surfaces with prescribed area which are confined to a small container. We propose a phase field approximation based on De Giorgi’s diffuse Willmore... Read More about Phase Field Models for Thin Elastic Structures with Topological Constraint.
