Non-Refereed Papers and Reviews

N. Ambrosetti, J. Charbonneau, and S. Weinfurtner, The fluid/gravity correspondence. (2008) [arXiv:0810.2631]. Lectures notes from the 2008 Summer School on Particles, Fields, and Strings, UBC, Canada.

J. Charbonneau, Minkowski correlation functions in AdS/CFT. (2008). This short review was completed as a final project for my second string theory course taught by Moshe Rozali. It covers how to calculate shear viscosity and entropy using the Minkowski formalism in the gauge/gravity correspondence.

J. Charbonneau, Introduction to the Ginzburg-Landau Equations. (2005). This short review was completed as a final project for my second condensed matter course taught by Mona Berciu. I introduce the Ginberg-Landau equations and show how to derive most of the phenomelogical properties of superconductors. [local copy]

Theses

J. Charbonneau, PhD Thesis: Topological Currents in Dense Matter (2011). A harrowing collection of three papers, with many aspects thoroughly elucidated for the enjoyment of the reader, including a new derivation of the topological current and details of fun contour integrals.

J. Charbonneau, MSc Thesis: Vortex structures in neutron stars. (2007). Download it for the abstract, read the first three chapters for a good review of the Ginzberg-Landau description of superconducting and superluid vortices. One of the appendices contains the most difficult way to calculate the force between two current carrying wires.
