Formula for the widths of quantum-Hall-effect plateaus
We derive an empirical formula for the width of quantum Hall effect plateaus which is free of adjustable parameters. It describes the integer, fractional and $\nu = 0$ (Wigner insulator) quantum Hall effect in single heterojunctions. The temperature scale of the existence of these three phenomena is the same as the mel...

Comparison of Variational Approaches for the Exactly Solvable 1/r-Hubbard Chain
We study Hartree-Fock, Gutzwiller, Baeriswyl, and combined Gutzwiller-Baeriswyl wave functions for the exactly solvable one-dimensional $1/r$-Hubbard model. We find that none of these variational wave functions is able to correctly reproduce the physics of the metal-to-insulator transition which occurs in the model for...

Disordered Bosons: Condensate and Excitations
The disordered Bose Hubbard model is studied numerically within the Bogoliubov approximation. First, the spatially varying condensate wavefunction in the presence of disorder is found by solving a nonlinear Schrodinger equation.

Density of states and magnetic susceptibilities on the octagonal tiling

The density of states has six characteristic forms, although the detailed structure differs from site to site since no two sites are equivalent in a quasiperiodic tiling.

Heisenberg models and a particular isotropic model
The Heisenberg model, a quantum mechanical analogue of the Ising model, has a large ground state degeneracy, due to the symmetry generated by the total spin. This symmetry is also responsible for degeneracies in the rest of the spectrum. We discuss the global structure of the spectrum of Heisenberg models with arbitrar...

Twisted Line Liquids
We propose a model of directed lines where the average direction has the nature of a cholesteric liquid crystal. This model, for instance, would describe the liquid of screw dislocations in the twist-grain-boundary (TGB) phase of liquid crystals.
