On a Nielsen-Thurston classification theory for cluster modular groups
We classify elements of a cluster modular group into three types. We
characterize them in terms of fixed point property of the action on the
tropical compactifications associated with the corresponding cluster ensemble.
The characterization gives an analogue of the Nielsen-Thurston classification
theory on the mapping class group of a surface.Comment: 33 pages, 9 figures. To appear in Annales de l'Institut Fourie
Matrix model criticality and resonant tunneling
We suggest that the Hermitian matrix models with resonant tunneling may
exhibit novel criticality. Some features of the proposed criticality are
explored. In particular, we argue that the new critical point is connected with
the first-order transition.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures. v2: References adde
