Anomalous dispersion in sliced colloids

Why does a colloid have the anomalous dispersion law $ \omega^2 =q $ when observed in a confocal slice? The density of states then behaves as $\rho(\omega) \sim \omega^3$

Multi-scale Monte Carlo algorithm for Lennard-Jones fluids
Introduce a collective update in a fluid which moves many particles simultaneously. It leads to simultaneous equilibration on all length scales, but requires the determinant of the transformation as a correction in the Metropolis update rule.

Polarized multiple scattering
The theory of polarization in multiple scattering is very similar to the theory of writhe in semiflexible polymers, such as DNA:

Polarization patterns in back scattering
Berry Phases and multiple scattering
Flower-like figure from observation of polarized light in strongly scattering sample. Four-fold symmetry from the Berry phase of $4 \pi$ in backscattering geometry.
Writhe geometry
Formulations of the writhe based on the local torsion, $\tau$ can not be used in polymer physics, one must use more global considerations to understand the geometry

Geometry of writhe
A bent beam with writhe leads to rotation.

Semiflexible polymers
Anisotropic dynamics in semiflexible polymers leads to a mixture of transverse dynamics in $ t^{3/4} $ and longitudinal dynamics in $ t^{7/8} $.

Non-affine effects in micro-rheology
Actin filaments have a persistence length of $10\mu$, this is much stiffer than most polymers. How does this affect the rheology and mechanics of semi-diluate solutions? The modulus is given by $G= \frac{kT}{\ell_e}$ where the collision length in the tube $\ell_e$ is close to a micron. Uncrosslinked actin is thus rather soft.

Long range interactions in metallic systems
In a classical plasma one normally expects that correlations are short ranged -- due to Debye screening. In quantum mechanics the situation is more complicated we show here how long-ranged interaction are generated in an electron plasma in a way that is reminiscent of van der Waals interaction in $1/r^6 $
