Anomalous Scaling in the N-Point Functions of Passive Scalar

A recent analysis of the 4-point correlation function of the passive scalar advected by a time-decorrelated random flow is extended to the N-point case. It is shown that all stationary-state inertial-range correlations are dominated by homogeneous zero modes of singular operators describing their evolution. We compute analytically the zero modes governing the N-point structure functions and the anomalous dimensions corresponding to them to the linear order in the scaling exponent of the 2-point function of the advecting velocity field. The implications of these calculations for the dissipation correlations are discussed.

Critical dimensions for random walks on random-walk chains

The probability distribution of random walks on linear structures generated by random walks in $d$-dimensional space, $P_d(r,t)$, is analytically studied for the case $ξ\equiv r/t^{1/4}\ll1$. It is shown to obey the scaling form $P_d(r,t)=ρ(r) t^{-1/2} ξ^{-2} f_d(ξ)$, where $ρ(r)\sim r^{2-d}$ is the density of the chain. Expanding $f_d(ξ)$ in powers of $ξ$, we find that there exists an infinite hierarchy of critical dimensions, $d_c=2,6,10,\ldots$, each one characterized by a logarithmic correction in $f_d(ξ)$. Namely, for $d=2$, $f_2(ξ)\simeq a_2ξ^2\lnξ+b_2ξ^2$; for $3\le d\le 5$, $f_d(ξ)\simeq a_dξ^2+b_dξ^d$; for $d=6$, $f_6(ξ)\simeq a_6ξ^2+b_6ξ^6\lnξ$; for $7\le d\le 9$, $f_d(ξ)\simeq a_dξ^2+b_dξ^6+c_dξ^d$; for $d=10$, $f_{10}(ξ)\simeq a_{10}ξ^2+b_{10}ξ^6+c_{10}ξ^{10}\lnξ$, {\it etc.\/} In particular, for $d=2$, this implies that the temporal dependence of the probability density of being close to the origin $Q_2(r,t)\equiv P_2(r,t)/ρ(r)\simeq t^{-1/2}\ln t$.

Exact Solution of a Phase Separation Model with Conserved Order Parameter Dynamics

Pairwise particle-exchange model on a linear lattice is solved exactly by a new rate-equation method. Lattice sites are occupied by particles A and B which can exchange irreversibly provided the local energy in reduced. Thus, the model corresponds to a zero-temperature Kawasaki-type phase separation process. Due to local order-parameter conservation, the dynamics reaches a frozen state at large times, the structure of which depends on the initial conditions.

Kondo Effect in a Luttinger Liquid: Exact Results from Conformal Field Theory

We report on exact results for the low-temperature thermodynamics of a spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ magnetic impurity coupled to a one-dimensional interacting electron system. By using boundary conformal field theory, we show that there are only two types of critical behaviors consistent with the symmetries of the problem: {\em either} a local Fermi liquid, {\em or} a theory with an anomalous response identical to that recently proposed by Furusaki and Nagaosa. Suppression of back scattering off the impurity leads to the same critical properties as for the two-channel Kondo effect.

On Synchronization in a Lattice Model of Pulse-Coupled Oscillators

We analyze the collective behavior of a lattice model of pulse-coupled oscillators. By means of computer simulations we find the relation between the intrinsic dynamics of each member of the population and their mutual interaction that ensures, in a general context, the existence of a fully synchronized regime. This condition turns out to be the same than the obtained for the globally coupled population. When the condition is not completely satisfied we find different spatial structures. This also gives some hints about self-organized criticality.

Exact perturbative solution of the Kondo problem

We explicitly evaluate the infinite series of integrals that appears in the "Anderson-Yuval" reformulation of the anisotropic Kondo problem in terms of a one-dimensional Coulomb gas. We do this by developing a general approach relating the anisotropic Kondo problem of arbitrary spin with the boundary sine-Gordon model, which describes impurity tunneling in a Luttinger liquid and in the fractional quantum Hall effect. The Kondo solution then follows from the exact perturbative solution of the latter model in terms of Jack polynomials.

Grazing Incidence Infrared Reflectivity of La$_{1.85}$Sr$_{0.15}$CuO$_4$ and NbN

Infrared reflectivity measurements, using p-polarized light at a grazing angle of incidence, show an increased sensitivity to the optical conductivity of highly reflecting superconducting materials. We demonstrate that when this measurement technique is applied to the conventional s-wave superconductor NbN, the results are in perfect agreement with BCS theory. For the in-plane response of a La$_{1.85}$Sr$_{0.15}$CuO$_4$ single crystal, in the superconducting state, we find a reduction of the optical conductivity in the frequency range below 20 meV. The observed frequency dependence excludes an isotropic s-wave gap, but agrees well with model calculations assuming a d-wave order parameter.

Charge Density Wave in Two-Dimensional Electron Liquid in Weak Magnetic Field

We study the ground state of a clean two-dimensional electron liquid in a weak magnetic field where $N \gg 1$ lower Landau levels are completely filled and the upper level is partially filled. It is shown that the electrons at the upper Landau level form domains with filling factor equal to one and zero. The domains alternate with a spatial period of order of the cyclotron radius, which is much larger than the interparticle distance at the upper Landau level. The one-particle density of states, which can be probed by tunneling experiments, is shown to have a pseudogap linearly dependent on the magnetic field in the limit of large $N$.

New phasing method based on the principle of minimum charge

A new method of the phase determination in X-ray crystallography is proposed. The method is based on the so-called "minimum charge" principle, recently suggested by Elser. The electron density function $ρ$ is sought in the form $ρ({\bf x})=|ψ({\bf x})|^2$, where $ψ$ is an $n{-component}$ real function. The norm $\int|ψ({\bf x})|^2 d{\bf x}$ is minimized under the constraint imposed by the measured data on the amplitudes of Fourier harmonics of $ρ$. Compared to the straightforward implementation of the "minimum charge" scheme, the method attenuates the Gibbs phenomenon and is also capable of extrapolation of the diffraction data beyond the set of measured amplitudes. The method is applicable to quasicrystals under the condition that the number of components $n$ of the function $ψ$ is bigger than the dimensionality of the ``atomic surface''. It is successfully tested on synthetic data for Fibonacci chain and the octagonal tiling. In the latter case the reconstructed density map shows the shape of the atomic surface, despite relatively low data resolution.

Fluctuating Interfaces, Surface Tension, and Capillary Waves: An Introduction

We present an introduction to modern theories of interfacial fluctuations and the associated interfacial parameters: surface tension and surface stiffness, as well as their interpretation within the capillary wave model. Transfer matrix spectrum properties due to fluctuation of an interface in a long-cylinder geometry are reviewed. The roughening transition and properties of rigid interfaces below the roughening temperature in 3d lattice models are surveyed with emphasis on differences in fluctuations and transfer matrix spectral properties of rigid vs. rough interfaces.

Second-Order Dynamics in the Collective Evolution of Coupled Maps and Automata

We review recent numerical studies and the phenomenology of spatially synchronized collective states in many-body dynamical systems. These states exhibit thermodynamic noise superimposed on the collective, quasiperiodic order parameter evolution with typically one basic irrational frequency. We concentrate on the description of the global temporal properties in terms of second-order difference equations.

Hidden Orders and RVB Formation of the Four-Leg Heisenberg Ladder Model

The ground state of the four-chain Heisenberg ladder model is numerically investigated. Hidden-order correlations suitable for the system are introduced and calculated with an emphasis on the spatially isotropic point, where a corresponding material exists. The existence of a long-range hidden correlation indicates formation of a short-range RVB state in the case of the antiferromagnetic inter-chain coupling. A transition between the phase of the ferromagnetic inter-chain coupling and that of the antiferromagnetic one is discussed.

Haldane Gap and Hidden Order in the S=2 Antiferromagnetic Quantum Spin Chain

We have investigated Haldane's conjecture for the S=2 isotropic antiferromagnetic quantum spin chain with nearest-neighbor exchange J. Using a density matrix renormalization group algorithm for chains up to L=350 spins, we find in the thermodynamic limit a finite spin gap of Delta = 0.085(5)J and a finite spin-spin correlation length xi = 49(1) lattice spacings. We establish the ground state energy per bond to be E_0=-4.761248(1)J. We show that the ground state has a hidden topological order that is revealed in a nonlocal string correlation function. This means that the physics of the S=2 chain can be captured by a valence-bond solid description. We also observe effective free spin-1 states at the ends of an open S=2 chain.

Two-Dimensional Electrons in a Strong Magnetic Field with Disorder: Divergence of the Localization Length

Electrons on a square lattice with half a flux quantum per plaquette are considered. An effective description for the current loops is given by a two-dimensional Dirac theory with random mass. It is shown that the conductivity and the localization length can be calculated from a product of Dirac Green's functions with the {\it same} frequency. This implies that the delocalization of electrons in a magnetic field is due to a critical point in a phase with a spontaneously broken discrete symmetry. The estimation of the localization length is performed for a generalized model with $N$ fermion levels using a $1/N$--expansion and the Schwarz inequality. An argument for the existence of two Hall transition points is given in terms of percolation theory.

Pair correlation functions in one-dimensional correlated-hopping models

We investigate ground-state properties of two correlated-hopping electron models, the Hirsch and the Bariev model. Both models are of recent interest in the context of hole superconductivity. Applying the Lanczos technique to small clusters, we numerically determine the binding energy, the spin gaps, correlation functions, and other properties for various values of the bond-charge interaction parameter. Our results for small systems indicate that pairing is favoured in a certain parameter range. However, in contrast to the Bariev model, superconducting correlations are suppressed in the Hirsch model, for a bond-charge repulsion larger than a critical value.

Analytical Results for Random Band Matrices with Preferential Basis

Using the supersymmetry method we analytically calculate the local density of states, the localiztion length, the generalized inverse participation ratios, and the distribution function of eigenvector components for the superposition of a random band matrix with a strongly fluctuating diagonal matrix. In this way we extend previously known results for ordinary band matrices to the class of random band matrices with preferential basis. Our analytical results are in good agreement with (but more general than) recent numerical findings by Jacquod and Shepelyansky.

Nonlinear Dynamics of Composite Fermions in Nanostructures

We outline a theory describing the quasi-classical dynamics of composite fermions in the fractional quantum Hall regime in the potentials of arbitrary nanostructures. By an appropriate parametrization of time we show that their trajectories are independent of their mass and dispersion. This allows to study the dynamics in terms of an effective Hamiltonian although the actual dispersion is as yet unknown. The applicability of the theory is verified in the case of antidot arrays where it explains details of magnetoresistance measurements and thus confirms the existence of these quasiparticles.
