Discounting the Distant Future: What Do Historical Bond Prices Imply about the Long-Term Discount Rate? 

Farmer, J. Doyne; Geanakoplos, John; Richiardi, Matteo G.; Montero Matellanes, M. Mikel; Perelló, Josep, 1974-; Masoliver, Jaume, 1951- (2025-07-14)

We present a thorough empirical study on real interest rates by also including risk aversion through the introduction of the market price of risk. From the viewpoint of complex systems science and its multidisciplinary ...

Driving Magnetic Domains at the Nanoscale by Interfacial Strain-induced Proximity 

Valmianski, I.; Fraile Rodríguez, Arantxa; Rodriguez Alvarez, Javier; García del Muro y Solans, Montserrat; Wolowiec, Christian; Kronast, Florian; Gabriel Ramirez, Juan; Schuller, Ivan K.; Labarta, Amílcar; Batlle Gelabert, Xavier (2024-01-24)

We investigate the local nanoscale changes of the magnetic anisotropy of a Ni film subject to an inverse magnetostrictive effect by proximity to a V2O3 layer. Using temperature-dependent photoemission electron microscopy ...

The role of thermal coupling on avalanches in manganites 

Macià Bros, Ferran; Abril, G.; Hernández Ferràs, Joan Manel; Tejada Palacios, Javier (2024-01-19)

We report here a study on the environmental dependence of the occurrence, at low temperature, of ultra-sharp field induced avalanches in phase separated manganites. Despite the high reproducibility of avalanches, it has ...

Effect of stochastic resettings on the counting of level crossings for inertial random processes 

Montero Torralbo, Miquel; Palassini, Matteo; Masoliver, Jaume, 1951- (2024-10-27)

We study the counting of level crossings for inertial random processes exposed to stochastic resetting events. We develop the general approach of stochastic resetting for inertial processes with sudden changes in the state ...

Macià Bros, Ferran; Abril, G.; Hernández Ferràs, Joan Manel; Tejada Palacios, Javier (2024-01-19)

We report here a study on the environmental dependence of the occurrence, at low temperature, of ultra-sharp field induced avalanches in phase separated manganites. Despite the high reproducibility of avalanches, it has ...

Einstein (1905): una commemoració imprescindible 

Navarro Veguillas, Luis; Sallent Del Colombo, Emma (2020-07-07)

El febrer de 1902 Albert Einstein (1879-1955) va establir-se a Berna. A l'Oficina Suïssa de Patents d'aquesta ciutat va obtenir el juny del mateix any una còmoda i desitjada feina com a perit tècnic de tercera classe. Poc ...

Single-molecule kinetics and footprinting of DNA bis-intercalation: the paradigmatic case of Thiocoraline 

Camuñas Soler, Joan; Mañosas Castejón, María; Frutos, Silvia; Albericio Palomera, Fernando; Ritort Farran, Fèlix; Tulla-Puche, Judit (2016-07-26)

DNA bis-intercalators are widely used in molecular biology with applications ranging from DNA imaging to anticancer pharmacology. Two fundamental aspects of these ligands are the lifetime of the bisintercalated complexes ...

Electronic structure and properties of Cu2O 

Ruiz Sabín, Eliseo; Álvarez, Santiago (Álvarez Reverter); Alemany i Cahner, Pere; Evarestov, R. A. (Robert Aleksandrovich) (2010-01-22)

The structural and electronic properties of Cu2O have been investigated using the periodic Hartree-Fock method and a posteriori density-functional corrections. The lattice parameter, bulk modulus, and elastic constants ...

Concavity, response functions and replica energy 

Campa, Alessandro; Casetti, L.; Latella, Ivan; Pérez Madrid, Agustín; Ruffo, S. (2019-07-11)

In nonadditive systems, like small systems or like long-range interacting systems even in the thermodynamic limit, ensemble inequivalence can be related to the occurrence of negative response functions, this in turn being ...

Spatio-temporal organization of correlated local activity within global avalanches in slowly driven interfaces 

Planet Latorre, Ramon; López, Juan M.; Santucci, Stéphane; Ortín, Jordi, 1959- (2019-05-03)

We study the jerky response of slowly driven fronts in disordered media, just above the depinning transition. We focus on how spatially disconnected clusters of internally correlated activity lead to large-scale velocity ...

Quasiopen inflation 

García-Bellido, Juan; Garriga Torres, Jaume; Montes, Xavier (2010-05-06)

We show that a large class of two-field models of single-bubble open inflation do not lead to infinite open universes, as it was previously thought, but to an ensemble of very large but finite inflating `islands'. The ...

Colossal Elastocaloric Effect in Ferroelastic Ni-Mn-Ti Alloys 

Cong, Daoyong; Xiong, Wenxin; Planes Vila, Antoni; Ren, Yang; Mañosa, Lluís; Cao, Peiyu; Nie, Zhihua; Sun, Xiaoming; Yang, Zhi; Hong, Xiufeng; Wang, Yandong (2023-01-13)

Energy-efficient and environment-friendly elastocaloric refrigeration, which is a promising replacement of the conventional vapor-compression refrigeration, requires extraordinary elastocaloric properties. Hitherto the ...

Many-Body Contributions in Water Nanoclusters 

Abella, David; Franzese, Giancarlo; Hernández Rojas, Javier (2023-03-16)

Many-body interactions in water are known to be important but difficult to treat in atomistic models and often are included only as a correction. Polarizable models treat them explicitly, with long-range many-body potentials, ...

Renewal equations for option pricing 

Montero Torralbo, Miquel (2013-03-08)

In this paper we will develop a methodology for obtaining pricing expressions for financial instruments whose underlying asset can be described through a simple continuous-time random walk (CTRW) market model. Our approach ...

Magnetic structure of Li2CuO2: From ab initio calculations to macroscopic simulations

The magnetic structure of the edge-sharing cuprate compound Li2CuO2 has been investigated with highly correlated ab initio electronic structure calculations. The first- and second-neighbor in-chain magnetic interactions ...

Universality of fluctuation-dissipation ratios: The ferromagnetic model 

Garriga, A.; Sollich Peter; Pagonabarraga Mora, Ignacio; Ritort Farran, Fèlix (2011-07-07)

We calculate analytically the fluctuation-dissipation ratio (FDR) for Ising ferromagnets quenched to criticality, both for the long-range model and its short-range analogue in the limit of large dimension. Our exact solution ...

Numerical evidence for spontaneously broken replica symmetry in 3D spin glasses 

Marinari, E.; Parisi, Giorgio; Ruiz-Lorenzo, J.; Ritort Farran, Fèlix (2010-06-25)

By numerical simulations of the $3d$ Ising spin glass we find evidence that spontaneous replica symmetry breaking theory and not the droplet model describes with good accuracy the equilibrium behavior of the system.

Invariance in Quantum Walks 

Montero Torralbo, Miquel (2021-06-11)

In this Chapter, we present some interesting properties of quantum walks on the line. We concentrate our attention in the emergence of invariance and provide some insights into the ultimate origin of the observed behavior. ...

General Interaction Picture from Action Principle for Mechanics 

Garrido, L. (Luis), 1930- (2012-04-26)

In this paper we consider a general action principle for mechanics written by means of the elements of a Lie algebra. We study the physical reasons why we have to choose precisely a Lie algebra to write the action principle. ...
