Vacuum-Induced Abelian and Non-Abelian Gauge Potentials in CavityQuantum Electrodynamics

Gauge potential plays an important role in exploring exotic phenomena in the single- and many-body quantum systems. In this paper, we propose a scheme to create both new Abelian and non-Abelian gauge potentials by adiabatically controlling the degenerate Dicke model in cavity quantum electrodynamics. It is shown that a non-Abelian gauge potential is achieved only for a single atom, whereas an Abelianizen diagonal gauge potential is realized for the atomic ensemble. More importantly, two interesting quantum phenomena such as the geometric phase and the magnetic monopole induced by our created gauge potentials are also predicted. The possible physical realization is presented in the macroscopic circuit quantum electrodynamics with the Cooper pair boxes, which act as the artificial two-level atoms controlled by the gate voltage and the external magnetic flux.     

Geometric Origin of Staggered Fermion: Direct Product K-Cycle

Staggered formalism of lattice fermion can be cast into a form of direct product K-cycle in noncommutative geometry. We prove the correspondence between this staggered K-cycle and a canonically defined K-cycle for finitely generated Abelian groups where a lattice appears as a special case.

Bifurcation of Limit Cycles from a Polynomial Non-global Center

Consider the planar ordinary differential equation , where the set consists of k non-zero points. In this paper we perturb this vector field with a general polynomial perturbation of degree n and study how many limit cycles bifurcate from the period annulus of the origin in terms of k and n. One of the key points of our approach is that the Abelian integral that controls the bifurcation can be explicitly obtained as an application of the integral representation formula of harmonic functions through the Poisson kernel.

Transfer of splitness with respect to a fully invariant short exact sequence in abelian categories

Abstract

We study the transfer via functors between abelian categories of the (dual) relative splitness of objects with respect to a fully invariant short exact sequence. We mainly consider fully faithful functors and adjoint pairs of functors. We deduce applications to Grothendieck categories, (graded) module categories and comodule categories.     

Vortex motion on surfaces of small curvature

We consider a single Abelian Higgs vortex on a surface Σ$\Sigma$ whose Gaussian curvature K$K$ is small relative to the size of the vortex, and analyse vortex motion by using geodesics on the moduli space of static solutions. The moduli space is Σ$\Sigma$ with a modified metric, and we propose that this metric has a universal expansion, in terms of K$K$ and its derivatives, around the initial metric on Σ$\Sigma$. Using an integral expression for the Kähler potential on the moduli space, we calculate the leading coefficients of this expansion numerically, and find some evidence for their universality. The expansion agrees to first order with the metric resulting from the Ricci flow starting from the initial metric on Σ$\Sigma$, but differs at higher order. We compare the vortex motion with the motion of a point particle along geodesics of Σ$\Sigma$. Relative to a particle geodesic, the vortex experiences an additional force, which to leading order is proportional to the gradient of K$K$. This force is analogous to the self-force on bodies of finite size that occurs in gravitational motion.     

Bifurcations of limit cycles from a quintic Hamiltonian system with a heteroclinic cycle

In this paper,we consider Li′enard systems of the form dx/dt=y,dy/dt=x+bx3-x5+ε(α+βx2+γx4)y,where b∈R,0|ε|1,(α,β,γ)∈D∈R3 and D is bounded.We prove that for |b|1(b0) the least upper bound of the number of isolated zeros of the related Abelian integrals I(h)=∮Γh(α+βx2+γx4)ydx is 2(counting the multiplicity) and this upper bound is a sharp one.
