Topological correlations and asymptotic freedom in cellular aggregates

In random cellular systems, both observation and maximum entropy inference give a specific form to the topological pair correlation: it is bi-affine in the cells number of edges with coefficients depending on the distance between the two cells of the pair. Assuming this form for the pair correlations, we make explicit the conditions of statistical independence at large distance. When, on average, the defects do not contribute, the layer population and the enclosed topological charge both increase polynomially with distance. In dimension 2, the exponent of the leading terms depend on sum rules satisfied, or not, by the maximum entropy coefficients.

Motion-Induced Radiation from a Dynamically Deforming Mirror

A path integral formulation is developed to study the spectrum of radiation from a perfectly reflecting (conducting) surface. It allows us to study arbitrary deformations in space and time. The spectrum is calculated to second order in the height function. For a harmonic traveling wave on the surface, we find many different regimes in which the radiation is restricted to certain directions. It is shown that high frequency photons are emitted in a beam with relatively low angular dispersion whose direction can be controlled by the mechanical deformations of the plate.
