Dynamic Fractional Stark Ladders in DC--AC Fields
A single band in a spatially periodic system splits into a series of quasienergy subbands under the action of DC--AC electric fields. These dynamic fractional Stark ladders should be observable in an investigation of optical absorption.

Temperature Dependence of the Upper Critical Field in High-Temperature Superconductors: Localization Effects
It is shown that the anomalous temperature dependence of the orbital part of the upper critical field $H_{c2}$ observed for epitaxially grown films of high-temperature superconductor $Bi-Sr-Cu-O$ (in wide temperature interval) can be satisfactorily explained by the influence of localization effects in two-dimensional (...

On the Coexistence of Diagonal and off-Diagonal Long-Range Order, a Monte Carlo Study
The zero temperature properties of interacting 2 dimensional lattice bosons are investigated. We present Monte Carlo data for soft-core bosons that demonstrate the existence of a phase in which crystalline long-range order and off-diagonal long-range order (superfluidity) coexist. We comment on the difference between h...

A Singular Perturbation Analysis for \\Unstable Systems with Convective Nonlinearity

Continuously Varying Exponents for Oriented Self-Avoiding Walks
A two-dimensional conformal field theory with a conserved $U(1)$ current $\vec J$, when perturbed by the operator ${\vec J}^{\,2}$, exhibits a line of fixed points along which the scaling dimensions of the operators with non-zero $U(1)$ charge vary continuously.

Noise in an ac biased junction. Non-stationary Aharonov-Bohm effect
We study excess noise in a quantum conductor in the presence of constant voltage and alternating external field. Due to a two particle interference effect caused by Fermi correlations the noise is sensitive to the phase of the time dependent transmission amplitude. We compute spectral density and show that at T=0 the n...
