The hot baryon violation rate is $O(α_W^5 T^4)$
The rate per unit volume for anomalous electroweak baryon number violation at high temperatures, in the symmetric phase, has been estimated in the literature to be $O(\alpha_W^4 T^4)$ based on simple scaling arguments. We argue that damping effects in the plasma suppress the rate by an extra power of $\alpha_W$ to give...

We investigate the collective electron dynamics in a recently proposed graphene-based terahertz emitter under the influence of the radiative damping effect, which is included self-consistently in a molecular dynamics approach. We show that under appropriate conditions synchronization of the dynamics of single electrons...

Analysis of mean cluster size in directed compact percolation near a damp wall
We investigate the behaviour of the mean size of directed compact percolation clusters near a damp wall in the low-density region, where sites in the bulk are wet (occupied) with probability $p$ while sites on the wall are wet with probability $p_w$. Methods used to find the exact solution for the dry case ($p_w=0$) an...

On the Convergence of Approximate Message Passing with Arbitrary Matrices
Approximate message passing (AMP) methods and their variants have attracted considerable recent attention for the problem of estimating a random vector $\mathbf{x}$ observed through a linear transform $\mathbf{A}$. In the case of large i.i.d. zero-mean Gaussian $\mathbf{A}$, the methods exhibit fast convergence with pr...

Strichartz estimates and smooth attractors for a sub-quintic wave equation with fractional damping in bounded domains
The work is devoted to Dirichlet problem for sub-quintic semi-linear wave equation with damping damping term of the form $(-\Delta)^\alpha\partial_t u$, $\alpha\in(0,\frac{1}{2})$, in bounded smooth domains of $\Bbb R^3$. It appears that to prove well-posedness and develop smooth attractor theory for the problem we nee...

Global Existence and Nonlinear Diffusion of Classical Solutions to Non-Isentropic Euler Equations with Damping in Bounded Domain
We considered classical solutions to the initial boundary value problem for non-isentropic compressible Euler equations with damping in multi-dimensions. We obtained global a priori estimates and global existence results of classical solutions to both non-isentropic Euler equations with damping and their nonlinear diff...

Damping of Confined Modes in a Ferromagnetic Thin Insulating Film: Angular Momentum Transfer Across a Nanoscale Field-defined Interface
We observe a dependence of the damping of a confined mode of precessing ferromagnetic magnetization on the size of the mode. The micron-scale mode is created within an extended, unpatterned YIG film by means of the intense local dipolar field of a micromagnetic tip. We find that damping of the confined mode scales like...

Persistently damped transport on a network of circles
In this paper we address the exponential stability of a system of transport equations with intermittent damping on a network of $N \geq 2$ circles intersecting at a single point $O$. The $N$ equations are coupled through a linear mixing of their values at $O$, described by a matrix $M$. The activity of the intermittent...

Damping of quasiparticles in a Bose-Einstein condensate coupled to an optical cavity
We present a general theory for calculating the damping rate of elementary density wave excitations in a Bose-Einstein condensate strongly coupled to a single radiation field mode of an optical cavity. Thereby we give a detailed derivation of the huge resonant enhancement in the Beliaev damping of a density wave mode, ...

Kirchhoff equations with strong damping
We consider Kirchhoff equations with strong damping, namely with a friction term which depends on a power of the "elastic" operator. We address local and global existence of solutions in two different regimes depending on the exponent in the friction term. When the exponent is greater than 1/2, the dissipation prevai...

A convergent method for linear half-space kinetic equations
We give a unified proof for the well-posedness of a class of linear half-space equations with general incoming data and construct a Galerkin method to numerically resolve this type of equations in a systematic way. Our main strategy in both analysis and numerics includes three steps: adding damping terms to the origina...

Damping effects in hole-doped graphene: the relaxation-time approximation
The dynamical conductivity of interacting multiband electronic systems derived in Ref.[1] is shown to be consistent with the general form of the Ward identity. Using the semiphenomenological form of this conductivity formula, we have demonstrated that the relaxation-time approximation can be used to describe the dampin...

Maximal correlation between flavor entanglement and oscillation damping due to localization effects
Localization effects and quantum decoherence driven by the mass-eigenstate wave packet propagation are shown to support a statistical correlation between quantum entanglement and damped oscillations in the scenario of three-flavor quantum mixing for neutrinos. Once the mass-eigenstates that support flavor oscillations ...

Damping of long wavelength collective modes in spinor Bose-Fermi mixtures
Using an effective field theory we describe the low energy bosonic excitations in a three dimensional ultra-cold mixture of spin-1 bosons and spin-1/2 fermions. We establish an interesting fermionic excitation induced generic damping of the usual undamped long wavelength bosonic collective Goldstone modes. Two states w...

Non-linear fluctuation effects in dynamics of freely suspended film
Long-scale dynamic fluctuation phenomena in freely suspended films is analyzed. We consider isotropic films that, say, can be pulled from bulk smectic A liquid crystals. The key feature of such objects is possibility of bending deformations of the film. The bending (also known as flexular) mode turns out to be anomalou...

Intrinsic Damping of Collective Spin Modes in a Two-Dimensional Fermi Liquid with Spin-Orbit Coupling
A Fermi liquid with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is expected to support a new kind of collective modes: oscillations of magnetization in the absence of the magnetic field. We show that these modes are damped by the electron-electron interaction even in the limit of an infinitely long wavelength (q = 0). The linewidth of t...

Nonlocal Damping of Helimagnets in One-Dimensional Interacting Electron Systems
We investigate the magnetization relaxation of a one-dimensional helimagnetic system coupled to interacting itinerant electrons. The relaxation is assumed to result from the emission of plasmons, the elementary excitations of the one-dimensional interacting electron system, caused by slow changes of the magnetization p...

As a test of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) of defect formation, we simulate the Bose-Einstein condensation transition in a toroidally confined Bose gas using the stochastic projected Gross-Pitaevskii equation (SPGPE), with and without the energy-damping reservoir interaction. Energy-damping alters the scaling of the...

Quantum Error-Correcting Codes for Qudit Amplitude Damping
Traditional quantum error-correcting codes are designed for the depolarizing channel modeled by generalized Pauli errors occurring with equal probability. Amplitude damping channels model, in general, the decay process of a multilevel atom or energy dissipation of a bosonic system at zero temperature. We discuss quantu...

Determining form and data assimilation algorithm for weakly damped and driven Korteweg-de Vries equaton- Fourier modes case
We show that the global attractor of a weakly damped and driven Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdV) is embedded in the long-time dynamics of an ordinary differential equation called a determining form. In particular, there is a one-to-one identification of the trajectories in the global attractor of the damped and driven ...

Generalized Bloch's theorem for viscous metamaterials: Dispersion and effective properties based on frequencies and wavenumbers that are simultaneously complex
It is common for dispersion curves of damped periodic materials to be based on real frequencies versus complex wavenumbers or, conversely, real wavenumbers versus complex frequencies. The former condition corresponds to harmonic wave motion where a driving frequency is prescribed and where attenuation due to dissipatio...

Protecting entanglement from correlated amplitude damping channel using weak measurement and quantum measurement reversal
Based on the quantum technique of weak measurement, we propose a scheme to protect the entanglement from correlated amplitude damping decoherence. In contrast to the results of memoryless amplitude damping channel, we show that the memory effects play a significant role in the suppression of entanglement sudden death a...

Stability Analysis of Networked Systems Containing Damped and Undamped Nodes
This paper answers the question if a qualitatively heterogeneous passive networked system containing damped and undamped nodes shows consensus in the output of the nodes in the long run. While a standard Lyapunov analysis shows that the damped nodes will always converge to a steady-state value, the convergence of the u...
