Fracton phases of matter [PDF]
Fractons are a new type of quasiparticle which are immobile in isolation, but can often move by forming bound states. Fractons are found in a variety of physical settings, such as spin liquids and elasticity theory, and exhibit unusual phenomenology, such as gravitational physics and localization.

Fluctuations and phases in baryonic matter [PDF]
AbstractThe phase structure of baryonic matter is investigated with focus on the role of fluctuations beyond the mean-field approximation. The prototype test case studied is the chiral nucleon-meson model, with added comments on the chiral quark-meson model. Applications to nuclear matter include the liquid-gas phase transition.

Phases of Granular Matter [PDF]
An understanding of homogeneous nucleation of crystalline structure from a disordered medium such as a liquid remains an important unsolved problem in condensed matter physics. Guided by the results from a number of experiments on granular and colloidal systems in the past two decades, including in particular observations of homogeneous nucleation in ...

On the chain-melted phase of matter [PDF]
Various single elements form incommensurate crystal structures under pressure, where a zeolite-type “host” sublattice surrounds a “guest” sublattice comprising 1D chains of atoms. On “chain melting,” diffraction peaks from the guest sublattice vanish, while those from the host remain.

The phase diagram of hadronic matter [PDF]
We interpret the phase structure of hadronic matter in terms of the basic dynamical and geometrical features of hadrons. Increasing the density of constituents of finite spatial extension, by increasing the temperature T or the baryochemical potential mu, eventually "fills the box" and eliminates the physical vacuum.

Fractal Symmetric Phases of Matter [PDF]
We study spin systems which exhibit symmetries that act on a fractal subset of sites, with fractal structures generated by linear cellular automata. In addition to the trivial symmetric paramagnet and spontaneously symmetry broken phases, we construct additional fractal symmetry protected topological (FSPT) phases via a decorated defect approach.

Phase transitions in hadronic matter [PDF]
We formulate an equation of state for strongly interacting matter, which leads to a phase transition from massive resonance excitation to ideal gas behaviour. The structural similarity to the Van der Waals equation is discussed, as are extensions to describe hadron to quark matter transitions.

Gouy phase and matter waves [PDF]
We propose an experiment involving atoms and a standing electromagnetic wave in a cavity as a possibility to determine the analogous of Gouy's phase in optics for matter waves. The advantages and short comings of the proposed experiment are analyzed indicating its feasibility at the edge of present day technology.
