NSF-ITP-96-127 hep-th/9610009 Fermion Bags in the Massive Gross-Neveu Model (2009)

Joshua Feinberg, Z Nx

As has long been known, it is energetically favorable for massive fermions to deform the homogeneous vacuum around them, giving rise to extended bag-like objects. We study this phenomenon...

Statistics of Resonances in One Dimensional Continuous Systems (2009)

Feinberg, Joshua

We study the average density of resonances (DOR) of a disordered one-dimensional continuous open system. The disordered system is semi-infinite, with white-noise random potential, and it is coupled...

Probabilistic Interpretation of Resonant States (2009)

Hatano, Naomichi, Kawamoto, Tatsuro, Feinberg, Joshua

We provide probabilistic interpretation of resonant states. This we do by showing that the integral of the modulus square of resonance wave functions (i.e., the conventional norm) over a properly...

Chaotic systems in complex phase space (2008)

Bender, Carl M., Feinberg, Joshua, Hook, Daniel W., Weir, David J.

This paper examines numerically the complex classical trajectories of the kicked rotor and the double pendulum. Both of these systems exhibit a transition to chaos, and this feature is studied in...

Does the complex deformation of the Riemann equation exhibit shocks? (2007)
