In this paper we prove that there exists a positive number $λ>0$, such that any 2-generated Kleinian groups with limit set of Hausdorff dimension $<λ$ are classical Schottky groups.
Nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) on the structures and transport properties of dense liquid hydrogen at densities of 10-100 g/cm3 and temperatures of 0.1-1 eV are fully assessed using \textit{ab initio} path-integral molecular dynamics simulations. With the inclusion of NQEs, ionic diffusions are strongly enhanced by the magnitude from 100% to 15% with increasing temperature, while electrical conductivities are significantly suppressed. The analyses of ionic structures and zero-point energy show also the importance of NQEs in these regime. The significant quantum delocalization of ions introduces expressively different scattering cross section between protons compared with classical particle treatments, which can explain the large alterability of transport behaviors. Furthermore, the energy, pressure, and isotope effects are also greatly influenced by NQEs. The complex behaviors show that NQEs can not be neglected for dense hydrogen even in the warm dense regime.
Fe exists abundantly in the universe. In particular, the dynamical structures and transport properties of warm dense Fe are crucial for understanding the evolution and structures of giant planets. In this article, we present the ionic structures, equation of states, diffusion and viscosity of Fe at two typical densities of 33.385 g/cm$^3$ and 45 g/cm$^3$ in the temperature range of 1 eV and 10 eV, giving the data by the first principles calculations using quantum Langevin molecular dynamics (QLMD). Furthermore, the validation of Stokes-Einstein (SE) relation in this regime is discussed, showing the importance of choosing the effective atomic diameter. The results remind us of the careful usage of the SE relation under extreme conditions.
The equation of state (EOS) of the solar interior is accurately and smoothly determined from \textit{ab initio} simulations named quantum Langevin molecular dynamics (QLMD) in the pressure range of $58 \leq P \leq 4.6\times10^5$ Mbar at the temperature range of $1 \leq T \leq 1500$ eV. The central pressure is calculated, and compared with other models. The effect of heavy elements such as carbon and oxygen on the EOS is also discussed.
In this paper we study the rigidity of infinite volume 3-manifolds with sectional curvature $-b^2\le K\le -1$ and finitely generated fundamental group. In-particular, we generalize the Sullivan's quasi-conformal rigidity for finitely generated fundamental group with empty dissipative set to negative variable curvature 3-manifolds. We also generalize the rigidity of Hamenstädt or more recently Besson-Courtois-Gallot, to 3-manifolds with infinite volume and geometrically infinite fundamental group.
