We propose a scaling hypothesis for pattern-forming systems in which modulation of the order parameter results from the competition between a short-ranged interaction and a long-ranged interaction decaying with some power $alpha$ of the inverse distance. With L being a spatial length characterizing the modulated phase, all thermodynamic quantities are predicted to scale like some power of L. The scaling dimensions with respect to L only depend on the dimensionality of the system d and the exponent alpha. Scaling predictions are in agreement with experiments on ultra-thin ferromagnetic films and computational results. Finally, our scaling hypothesis implies that, for some range of values alpha>d, Inverse-Symmetry-Breaking transitions may appear systematically in the considered class of frustrated systems.

We determine the scaling exponents of polymer translocation (PT) through a nanopore by extensive computer simulations of various microscopic models for chain lengths extending up to N=800 in some cases. We focus on the scaling of the average PT time
$tau sim N^{alpha}$ and the mean-square change of the PT coordinate $<s^2(t)> sim t^beta$. We find $alpha=1+2 u$ and $beta=2/alpha$ for unbiased PT in 2D and 3D. The relation $alpha beta=2$ holds for driven PT in 2D, with crossover from $alpha approx 2 u$ for short chains to $alpha approx 1+ u$ for long chains. This crossover is, however, absent in 3D where $alpha = 1.42 pm 0.01$ and $alpha beta approx 2.2$ for $N approx 40-800$.
A scaling theory is developed for diffusion-limited cluster aggregation in a porous medium, where the primary particles and clusters stick irreversibly to the walls of the pore space as well as to each other. Three scaling regimes are predicted, conn
ected by smooth crossovers. The first regime is at low primary particle concentrations where the primary particles stick individually to the walls. The second regime is at intermediate concentrations where clusters grow to a certain size, smaller than the pore size, then stick individually to the walls. The third regime is at high concentrations where the final state is a pore-space-filling network.
One of the key tasks in physics is to perform measurements in order to determine the state of a system. Often, measurements are aimed at determining the values of physical parameters, but one can also ask simpler questions, such as is the system in s
tate A or state B?. In quantum mechanics, the latter type of measurements can be studied and optimized using the framework of quantum hypothesis testing. In many cases one can explicitly find the optimal measurement in the limit where one has simultaneous access to a large number $n$ of identical copies of the system, and estimate the expected error as $n$ becomes large. Interestingly, error estimates turn out to involve various quantum information theoretic quantities such as relative entropy, thereby giving these quantities operational meaning. In this paper we consider the application of quantum hypothesis testing to quantum many-body systems and quantum field theory. We review some of the necessary background material, and study in some detail the situation where the two states one wants to distinguish are parametrically close. The relevant error estimates involve quantities such as the variance of relative entropy, for which we prove a new inequality. We explore the optimal measurement strategy for spin chains and two-dimensional conformal field theory, focusing on the task of distinguishing reduced density matrices of subsystems. The optimal strategy turns out to be somewhat cumbersome to implement in practice, and we discuss a possible alternative strategy and the corresponding errors.
This paper discusses the elastic behavior of polyelectrolyte networks. The deformation behavior of single polyelectrolyte chains is discussed. It is shown that a strong coupling between interactions and chain elasticity exists. The theory of the comp
lete crosslinked networks shows that the Flory - Rehner - Hypothesis (FRH) does not hold. The modulus contains contributions from the classical rubber elasticity and from the electrostatic interactions. The equilibrium degree of swelling is estimated by the assumption of a $c^{*}$-network.
We revisit the question of describing critical spin systems and field theories using matrix product states, and formulate a scaling hypothesis in terms of operators, eigenvalues of the transfer matrix, and lattice spacing in the case of field theorie
s. Critical exponents and central charge are determined by optimizing the exponents such as to obtain a data collapse. We benchmark this method by studying critical Ising and Potts models, where we also obtain a scaling ansatz for the correlation length and entanglement entropy. The formulation of those scaling functions turns out to be crucial for studying critical quantum field theories on the lattice. For the case of $lambdaphi^4$ with mass $mu^2$ and lattice spacing $a$, we demonstrate a double data collapse for the correlation length $ delta xi(mu,lambda,D)=tilde{xi} left((alpha-alpha_c)(delta/a)^{-1/ u}right)$ with $D$ the bond dimension, $delta$ the gap between eigenvalues of the transfer matrix, and $alpha_c=mu_R^2/lambda$ the parameter which fixes the critical quantum field theory.
