Testing an Inflation Model with Nonminimal Derivative Coupling in the Light of PLANCK 2015 Data
We study the dynamics of a generalized inflationary model in which both the scalar field and its derivatives are coupled to the gravity. We consider a general form of the nonminimal derivative coupling in order to have a complete treatment of the model. By expanding the action up to the second order in perturbation, we...

Experimental Study of Synchronization of Coupled Electrical Self-Oscillators and Comparison to the Sakaguchi-Kuramoto model
We explore the collective phase dynamics of Wien-bridge oscillators coupled resistively. We carefully analyze the behavior of two coupled oscillators, obtaining a transformation from voltage to effective phase. From the phase dynamics we show that the coupling can be quantitatively described by Sakaguchi's modification...

Multiple resonance and anti-resonance in coupled Duffing oscillators
We investigate the resonance behaviour in a system composed by n-coupled Duffing oscillators where only the first oscillator is driven by a periodic force, assuming a nearest neighbour coupling. We have derived the frequency-response equations for a system composed of two-coupled oscillators by using a theoretical appr...

Disformally coupled inflation
A disformal coupling between two scalar fields is considered in the context of cosmological inflation. The coupling introduces novel derivative interactions mixing the kinetic terms of the fields but without introducing superluminal or unstable propagation of the two scalar fluctuation modes. Though the typical effect ...

Quantum corrected power spectra of massless minimally coupled scalars during inflation: Effects of Yukawa coupling versus quartic self-interaction
We, in the first part, contemplate a massless minimally coupled scalar which is Yukawa-coupled to a massless Dirac fermion in a locally de Sitter background of an inflating spacetime. We compute the scalar's quantum corrected mode function, power spectrum, spectral index and the running of the spectral index at one-loo...

Low-energy signals of strongly-coupled electroweak symmetry-breaking scenarios
The non-observation of new particles at the LHC suggests the existence of a mass gap above the electroweak scale. This situation is adequately described through a general electroweak effective theory with the established fields and Standard Model symmetries. Its couplings contain all information about the unknown short...

Non-minimal coupling in Higgs-Yukawa model with asymptotically safe gravity
We study the fixed point structure of the Higgs-Yukawa model, with its scalar being non-minimally coupled to the asymptotically safe gravity, using the functional renormalization group. We have obtained the renormalization group equations for the cosmological and Newton constants, the scalar mass-squared and quartic co...

Interacting spin-orbit-coupled spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates
The recent experimental realization of spin-orbit (SO) coupling for spin-1 ultracold atoms opens an interesting avenue for exploring SO-coupling-related physics in large-spin systems, which is generally unattainable in electronic materials. In this paper, we study the effects of interactions between atoms on the ground...

Extrinsic Spin Hall Effect from Anisotropic Rashba Spin-Orbit Coupling in Graphene
We study the effect of anisotropy of the Rashba coupling on the extrinsic spin Hall effect due to spin-orbit active adatoms on graphene. In addition to the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling, a generalized anisotropic Rashba coupling arising from the breakdown of both mirror and hexagonal symmetries of pristine graphene is ...

Polaritonic states in a dielectric nanoguide: localization and strong coupling
Propagation of light through dielectrics lies at the heart of optics. However, this ubiquitous process is commonly described using phenomenological dielectric function $\varepsilon$ and magnetic permeability $\mu$, i.e. without addressing the quantum graininess of the dielectric matter. Here, we present a theoretical s...

Magnetic Impurity in a Tonks Gas of Fermions
In this letter we consider a magnetic impurity in a one-dimensional spin-$1/2$ Fermi gas with infinitely strong repulsive interaction between fermions. We rigorously prove that, independent of whether the magnetic coupling between impurity and fermions is ferromagnetic or anti-ferromagnetic, the ground state is always ...

Fragility of reaction-diffusion models to competing advective processes
We study the coupling of a Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov (FKPP) equation to a separate, advection-only transport process. We find that the front dynamics can be described by an FKPP-like equation only at sufficiently fast diffusion or large coupling strength. For such parameter regimes, we find a mapping to an e...

Induced Gravity I: Real Scalar Field
We show that classically scale invariant gravity coupled to a single scalar field can undergo dimensional transmutation and generate an effective Einstein-Hilbert action for gravity, coupled to a massive dilaton. The same theory has an ultraviolet fixed point for coupling constant ratios such that all couplings are asy...

Black hole entropy arising from massless scalar field with Lorentz violation induced by the coupling to Einstein tensor
We have investigated quantum entropy of a static black hole arising from the massless scalar field with Lorentz violation induced by the coupling to Einstein tensor. Our results show that the coupled massless scalar field contributes to the classical Bekenstein-Hawking term in the black hole entropy. The corrected clas...

Signatures of Vibrational Strong Coupling in Raman Scattering
In this Letter we analyze theoretically how the emergence of collective strong coupling between vibrational excitations and confined cavity modes affects Raman scattering processes. This work is motivated by recent experiments [Shalabney et al., Angew. Chemie 54, 7971 (2015)], which reported enhancements of up to three...

Fermions embedded in a scalar-vector kink-like smooth potential
The behaviour of massive fermions is analyzed with scalar and vector potentials. A continuous chiral-conjugation transformation decouples the equation for the upper component of the Dirac spinor provided the vector coupling does not exceed the scalar coupling. It is shown that a Sturm-Liouville perspective is convenien...

Cavity magnomechanics
A dielectric body couples with electromagnetic fields through radiation pressure and electrostrictive forces, which mediate phonon-photon coupling in cavity optomechanics. In a magnetic medium, according to Korteweg-Helmholtz formula, magnetostrictive forces should arise and lead to phonon-magnon interaction. Here we r...

Composite resonances and their impact on the EW chiral Lagrangian
In this talk we study the low-energy effective couplings generated by strongly-coupled electroweak models that contain heavy composite resonances. Invariance under $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R$ is a key ingredient in the construction of the resonance action. For simplicity, in these proceedings we focus our attention on the ...

Synchronization of coupled stick-slip oscillators
A rationale is provided for the emergence of synchronization in a system of coupled oscillators in a stick-slip motion. The single oscillator has a limit cycle in a region of the state space for each parameter set beyond the supercritical Hopf bifurcation. The two-oscillator system that has similar weakly coupled oscil...

Different kinds of chimera death states in nonlocally coupled oscillators
We investigate the significance of nonisochronicity parameter in a network of nonlocally coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators with symmetry breaking form. We observe that the presence of nonisochronicity parameter leads to structural changes in the chimera death region while varying the strength of the interaction. This g...

Correlated Coulomb drag in capacitively coupled quantum-dot structures
We study theoretically Coulomb drag in capacitively coupled quantum dots (CQDs) -- a biasdriven dot coupled to an unbiased dot where transport is due to Coulomb mediated energy transfer drag. To this end, we introduce a master-equation approach which accounts for higher-order tunneling (cotunneling) processes as well a...
