We study both the electrical and thermal transport near the heavy-fermion quantum critical point (QCP), identified with the breakdown of the Kondo effect as an orbital selective Mott transition. We show that the contribution to the electrical conductivity comes mainly from conduction electrons while the thermal conductivity is given by both conduction electr

We study the residue current R^f of Bochner-Martinelli type associated with a tuple f=(f_1,...,f_m) of holomorphic germs at the origin in C^n, whose common zero set equals the origin. Our main results are a geometric description of R^f in terms of the Rees valuations associated with the ideal (f) generated by f and a characterization of when the annihilator

Bi$_2$Sr$_{2-x}$La$_x$CuO$_{6+δ}$ (0$\leq x \leq$1.00) single crystals with high-quality have been grown successfully using the travelling-solvent floating-zone technique. The patterns of X-ray diffraction suggest high crystalline quality of the samples. After post-annealing in flowing oxygen at 600 $^o$C, the crystals show sharp superconducting transitions

This paper draws distinctions among various concepts related to tipping points, robustness, path dependence, and other properties of system dynamics. For each concept a formal definition is provided that utilizes Markov model representations of systems. We start with the basic features of Markov models and definitions of the foundational concepts of system d

By performing first-principles calculations on four capacitor structures based on BaTiO3 and PbTiO3, we determine the intrinsic interfacial effects that are responsible for the destabilization of the polar state in thin-film ferroelectric devices. We show that, contrary to the established interpretation, the interfacial capacitance depends crucially on the l

High-dispersion spectroscopic observations are used to refine orbital elements for the symbiotic binary CH Cyg. The current radial velocities, added to a previously published 13 year time series of infrared velocities for the M giant in the CH Cyg symbiotic system, more than double the length of the time series to 29 years. The two previously identified velo

Both religion and science start with basic assumptions that cannot be proved but are taken on faith. Here I note that one basic assumption that is rather common in both enterprises is the assumption that in comparing different hypotheses that all equally explain the observations, the simpler hypotheses are more probable (Occam's razor or the law of parsi

We prove that the multiplier algebra of the Drury-Arveson Hardy space $H_{n}^{2}$ on the unit ball in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ has no corona in its maximal ideal space, thus generalizing the famous Corona Theorem of L. Carleson to higher dimensions. This result is obtained as a corollary of the Toeplitz corona theorem and a new Banach space result: the Besov-Sobolev

We investigate the chiral dynamics of gauge theories developing an infrared stable fixed point. We determine the dependence of the bilinear fermion condensate on the underlying fermion mass and its anomalous dimension. We introduce the instanton contributions and investigate how they affect the dynamics near the fixed point. We generalize the Gell-Mann Oakes

We constrain parity-violating interactions to the surface of last scattering using spectra from the QUaD experiment's second and third seasons of observations by searching for a possible systematic rotation of the polarization directions of CMB photons. We measure the rotation angle due to such a possible "cosmological birefringence" to be 0.55 d

The galaxy intrinsic alignment is a severe challenge to precision cosmic shear measurement. We propose to self-calibrate the induced gravitational shear-galaxy intrinsic ellipticity correlation (the GI correlation, \citealt{Hirata04b}) in weak lensing surveys with photometric redshift measurement.

We study the distribution of angular positions and angular separations of unbound hypervelocity stars (HVSs). HVSs are spatially anisotropic at the 3-sigma level. The spatial anisotropy is significant in Galactic longitude, not in latitude, and the inclusion of lower velocity, possibly bound HVSs reduces the significance of the anisotropy. We discuss how the

The low-energy theory of electrons interacting via repulsive short-range interactions on graphene's honeycomb lattice at half filling is presented. The exact symmetry of the Lagrangian with local quartic terms for the Dirac field dictated by the lattice is D_2 x U_c(1) x (time reversal), where D_2 is the dihedral group, and U_c(1) is a subgroup of the SU

Shaffique Adam, Piet W. Brouwer, S. Das Sarma

We compare a fully quantum mechanical numerical calculation of the conductivity of graphene to the semiclassical Boltzmann theory. Considering a disorder potential that is smooth on the scale of the lattice spacing, we find quantitative agreement between the two approaches away from the Dirac point. At the Dirac point the two theories are incompatible at wea

Recently, Hellerman and Schnabl considered the dynamics of unstable D-branes in the background of a linear dilaton. Remarkably, they were able to construct light-like tachyon solutions which interpolate smoothly between the perturbative and nonperturbative vacua, without undergoing the wild oscillations that plague time-like solutions. In their analysis, how

We present the result of a full direct component calculation for the term proportional to zeta(5) in the four-loop universal anomalous dimension of the twist-2 operators in N =4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory for the first three even moments. We suggest the general form such contribution for the arbitrary Lorentz spin of the twist-2 operators.

A method is presented for the evaluation of the permeability-porosity relationship in a low-permeability porous material using the results of a single transient test.

We study the collective density modes which can affect neutron-star thermodynamics in the baryonic density range between nuclear saturation ($ρ_0$) and $3ρ_0$. In this region, the expected constituents of neutron-star matter are mainly neutrons, protons and electrons ($npe$ matter), under the constraint of beta equilibrium.

Lattice QCD with two flavors of Wilson fermions can exhibit spontaneous breaking of flavor and parity, with the resulting "Aoki phase" characterized by the non-zero expectation value $<\bar\psi \gamma_5 \tau_3 \psi>\ne0$. This phenomenon can be understood using the chiral effective theory appropriate to the Symanzik effective action. Within this standard ana

In this paper we analyze the higher topological Hochschild homology of commutative Thom S-algebras. This includes the case of the classical cobordism spectra MO, MSO, MU, etc. We consider the homotopy orbits of the torus action on iterated topological Hochschild homology and we describe the relationship to topological Andre-Quillen homology.

We achieve a quantum speed-up of fully polynomial randomized approximation schemes (FPRAS) for estimating partition functions that combine simulated annealing with the Monte-Carlo Markov Chain method and use non-adaptive cooling schedules. The improvement in time complexity is twofold: a quadratic reduction with respect to the spectral gap of the underlying

Top quarks may be produced in large numbers in association with new physics at the LHC. The polarization of these top quarks probes the chiral structure of the new physics. We discuss several kinematic distributions which are sensitive to the polarization of single top quarks and can be used without full event reconstruction. For collimated tops we construct

What kind of lattice Hamiltonian manifestly has an ordered state with spontaneous orbital currents?

We consider a stochastic partial differential equation with logarithmic (or negative power) nonlinearity, with one reflection at 0 and with a constraint of conservation of the space average. The equation, driven by the derivative in space of a space-time white noise, contains a bi-Laplacian in the drift. The lack of the maximum principle for the bi-Laplacian

The generalization of the hard thermal loop effective theory to anisotropic plasmas is described with a detailed discussion of anisotropic dispersion laws and plasma instabilities. The numerical results obtained in real-time lattice simulations of the hard loop effective theory are reviewed, both for the stationary anisotropic case and for a quark-gluon plas

We report on our studies of interacting electrons in bilayer graphene in a magnetic field. We demonstrate that the long range Coulomb interactions between electrons in this material are highly important and account for the band asymmetry in recent optical magneto-absorption experiments. We show that in the unbiased bilayer (where both layers are at the same

We propose a dark matter model with standard model singlet extension of the universal extra dimension model (sUED) to explain the recent observations of ATIC, PPB-BETS, PAMELA and DAMA. Other than the standard model fields propagating in the bulk of a 5-dimensional space, one fermion field and one scalar field are introduced and both are standard model singl

We study the charge transport properties of fields confined to a (2+1)-dimensional defect coupled to (3+1)-dimensional super-Yang-Mills at large-$\nc$ and strong coupling, using AdS/CFT techniques applied to linear response theory. The dual system is described by $\nf$ probe D5- or D7-branes in the gravitational background of $\nc$ black D3-branes. Surprisin

Jose Beltran Jimenez, Antonio L. Maroto

We show that the presence of a temporal electromagnetic field on cosmological scales generates an effective cosmological constant which can account for the accelerated expansion of the universe. Primordial electromagnetic quantum fluctuations produced during electroweak scale inflation could naturally explain the presence of this field and also the measured

We consider the quantum complexity of estimating matrix elements of unitary irreducible representations of groups. For several finite groups including the symmetric group, quantum Fourier transforms yield efficient solutions to this problem. Furthermore, quantum Schur transforms yield efficient solutions for certain irreducible representations of the unitary

We apply the scattering matrix approach to the triplet proximity effect in superconductor-half metal structures. We find that for junctions that do not mix different orbital modes, the zero bias Andreev conductance vanishes, while the zero bias Josephson current is nonzero. We illustrate this finding on a ballistic half-metal--superconductor (HS) and superco

We assume that the total (luminous plus dark) mass profile of a galax

The relevance of equilibrium in a multifragmentation reaction of very central $^{40}Ca+^{40}Ca$ collisions at 35 MeV/nucleon is investigated by using simulations of Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics (AMD). Two types of ensembles are compared. One is the reaction ensemble of the states at each reaction time $t$ in collision events simulated by AMD, and the o

Given two operators $\hat D$ and $\hat E$ subject to the relation $\hat D\hat E -q \hat E \hat D =p$, and a word $w$ in $M$ and $N$, the rewriting of $w$ in normal form is combinatorially described by rook placements in a Young diagram. We give enumerative results about these rook placements, particularly in the case where $p=(1-q)/q^2$. This case naturally

We investigate a flat anisotropic (5+1)-dimensional cosmological model in the presence of the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) contribution in addition to usual Einstein term in the action. We compared it with (4+1)-dimensional case and found a substantial difference in corresponding cosmological dynamics. This difference is manifested in the probability of the model to ha

We investigate the effect of the anisotropy between the s-wave scattering lengths of a three-component atomic Fermi gas loaded into a one-dimensional optical lattice. We find four different phases which support trionic instabilities made of bound states of three fermions. These phases distinguish themselves by the relative phases between the 2$k_F$ atomic de

Two-particle (2-p) excitations such as spin and charge excitations play a key role in high-Tc cuprate superconductors (HTSC). On the basis of a parameter-free theory, which extends the Variational Cluster Approach (a recently developed embedded cluster method) to 2-p excitations, the magnetic excitations of HTSC are shown to be reproduced for a Hubbard model

We present a novel family of paraxial optical beams having a confluent hypergeometric transverse profile, which we name hypergeometric Gauss modes of type-II (HyGG-II). These modes are eigenmodes of the photon orbital angular momentum and they have the lowest beam divergence at waist of HyGG-II among all known finite power families of paraxial modes. We prop

The exclusive $ππ$ and $ρπ$ production in hard $γ^{\ast}γ$ scattering in the forward kinematical region where the virtual photon is highly off-shell is studied using the $γ\toπ^-$ Transition Distribution Amplitudes obtained in realistic models for the pion. For $ρπ$ production we confirm the previous estimates before QCD evolution. Nevertheless, once evoluti

We prove that if there exists a simplified $(ω_1,2)$-morass, then there is a ccc forcing which adds an $ω_3$-chain in P($ω_1$) mod finite and a ccc forcing which adds a family of $ω_3$-many strongly almost disjoint functions from $ω_1$ to $ω$. The idea is to use a finite support iteration of countable forcings which is not linear but three-dimensional.

In this paper we introduce a new multiparametric technique that attempts to tackle simultaneously the problems of composition determination and hadronic interaction uncertainty. Employing simulations of a real world detector under its planned operational conditions, and disregarding systematics, we can asses that the present technique should be able to deter

We consider the asymptotic behavior of bounded solutions of the difference equations of the form $x(n+1)=Bx(n) + y(n)$ in a Banach space $\X$, where $n=1,2,...$, $B$ is a linear continuous operator in $\X$, and $(y(n))$ is a sequence in $\X$ converging to 0 as $n\to\infty$. An obtained result with an elementary proof says that if $σ(B) \cap \{|z|=1\} \subset

Nested words are a structured model of execution paths in procedural programs, reflecting their call and return nesting structure. Finite nested words also capture the structure of parse trees and other tree-structured data, such as XML.

The anisotropic bending rigidity coupled with the surface tension leads ribbon polymers to spontaneous formation of highly anisotropic condensates in poor solvents. Unlike ordinary flexible polymers these condensates undergo a number of distinct layering transitions as a functio

We study exotic static 3-body potentials, utilizing generalized Wilson Loops in SU(3) lattice QCD. For the quark-antiquark-gluon techniques we address the angles of 0, 45, 60, 90, 120, 135 and 180 degrees, between the quark-gluon and the antiquark-gluon segments. We calculate the form of the static potential and discuss whether, or not, two-body interactions

We probe the relation between shear induced structural relaxation and rheology in experiments on sheared two-dimensional foams. The relaxation time, which marks the crossover to diffusive bubble motion, is found to scale non-trivially with the local strain rate. The rheology of the foam is shown to be intimately linked to the scaling of the relaxation time,

A two-dimensional model of interacting plaquettes is studied by means of the real space renormalization group approach. Interactions between the plaquettes are mediated solely by spin excitations on the plaquettes. Depending on the plaquette-plaquette coupling $J$, we find two regimes: &#34;confinement&#34; $J_c< J\leq 1$, where the singlet ground state form

We discuss continuity of the twisted convolution on (weighted) Fourier modulation spaces. We use these results to establish continuity results for the twisted convolution on Lebesgue spaces. For example we prove that if $ω$ is an appropriate weight and $1\le p\le 2$, then $L^p_{(ω)}$ is an algebra under the twisted convolution.

We investigate a class of orientifold models based on tensor products of 18 Ising models. Using the same search criteria as for the comparable case of Gepner model orientifolds we find that there are no three-family standard model configurations with tadpole cancellation. Even if we do not impose the latter requirement, we only find one such configuration in

We estimate the cosmological abundance of a modulus field that has dilatonic couplings to gauge fields, paying particular attention to thermal corrections on the modulus potential. We find that a certain amount of the modulus coherent oscillations is necessarily induced by a linear thermal effect. We argue that such an estimate provides the smallest possible

We address the problem of computing temperature correlation functions of the XXZ chain, within the approach developed in our previous works. In this paper we calculate the expected values of a fermionic basis of quasi-local operators, in the infinite volume limit while keeping the Matsubara (or Trotter) direction finite. The result is expressed in terms of t

Single-pass instruction sequences under execution are considered to produce behaviours to be controlled by some execution environment. Threads as considered in thread algebra model such behaviours: upon each action performed by a thread, a reply from its execution environment determines how the thread proceeds. Threads in turn can be looked upon as producing

We study the no reflection condition for a planar boundary between vacuum and an isotropic chiral medium. In general chiral media, elliptically polarized waves incident at a particular angle satisfy the no reflection condition. When the wave impedance and wavenumber of the chiral medium are equal to the corresponding parameters of vacuum, one of the circular

This paper derives the analytic expression of the sample auto-correlation matrix from the least-squared channel estimation of doubly selective fading channels for OFDM systems. According to the expression, the sample auto-correlation matrix reveals the bias property which would cause the model mismatch and therefore deteriorate the performance of channel est

We propose a scheme to produce continuous variable entanglement between phase-quadrature amplitudes of two light modes in an optomechanical system. For proper driving power and detuning, the entanglement is insensitive with bath temperature and $Q$ of mechanical oscillator. Under realistic experimental conditions, we find that the entanglement could be very

We give an algorithm to compute term by term multivariate Puiseux series expansions of series arising as local parametrizations of zeroes of systems of algebraic equations at singular points. The algorithm is an extension of Newton&#39;s method for plane algebraic curves replacing the Newton polygon by the tropical variety of the ideal generated by the syste
