Compass models are theories of matter in which the couplings between the internal spin (or
other relevant field) components are inherently spatially (typically, direction) dependent. A …

Over the last few years, DNA–surfactant complexes have gained traction as unique and
powerful materials for potential applications ranging from optoelectronics to biomedicine …

We discuss nonstandard continuum quantum field theories in 2+ 1 dimensions. They exhibit
exotic global symmetries, a subtle spectrum of charged excitations, and dualities similar to …

Recent transport experiments in the original cuprate high temperature superconductor, La
2− x Ba x CuO 4, have revealed a remarkable sequence of transitions and crossovers that …

We formulate a theory of non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall states by considering an
anisotropic system consisting of coupled, interacting one-dimensional wires. We show that …

We demonstrate the emergence of the quantum Hall (QH) hierarchy in a 2D model of
coupled quantum wires in a perpendicular magnetic field. At commensurate values of the …

Reducing the dimensionality of a physical system can have a profound effect on its
properties, as in the ordering of low-dimensional magnetic materials, phonon dispersion in …

We present new x-ray and neutron-scattering measurements of stripe order in La 1.875 Ba
0.125 CuO 4, along with low-field susceptibility, thermal conductivity, and specific-heat data …

We present a theory of the electron smectic fixed point of the stripe phases of doped layered
Mott insulators. We show that in the presence of a spin gap three phases generally arise:(a) …

We describe a distinct type of spontaneous hierarchical self-assembly of cytoskeletal
filamentous actin (F-actin), a highly charged polyelectrolyte, and cationic lipid membranes …
