Lattice Monte Carlo simulation and phase transitions in scalar field theories
(Masteroppgave/UIS-HF-IMF/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)The cubic anisotropy model is a simple scalar field theory with a phase transition of either first- or second order depending on the values of its parameters, with similarities to the electroweak phase transition that ... -
Lattice study of static quark-antiquark interactions in dense quark matter
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05)In this paper we study the interactions among a static quark-antiquark pair in the presence of dense two-color quark matter with lattice simulation. To this end we compute Polyakov line correlation functions and determine ... -
Learning the nonlinear flux function of a hidden scalar conservation law from data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-10)Nonlinear conservation laws are widely used in fluid mechanics, biology, physics, and chemical engineering. However, deriving such nonlinear conservation laws is a significant and challenging problem. A possible attractive ... -
Left-Invariant Pseudo-Riemannian Metrics on Lie Groups
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMF/2020;, Master thesis, 2020)n differential geometry and mathematical physics, there is interest in left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Lie groups. We learn and review Lie theory, representation theory, geometric invariant theory, and differential ... -
Lil3 dimerization and chlorophyll binding in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)The two-helix light harvesting like (Lil) protein Lil3 belongs to the family of chlorophyll binding light harvesting proteins of photosynthetic membranes. A function in tetrapyrrol synthesis and stabilization of geranylgeraniol ... -
