Probe‐assisted spin manipulation in one‐dimensional quantum dots

We study a spin structure that arises in a one‐dimensional quantum dot with zero total spin under the action of a charged tip of a scanning probe microscope in the presence of a weak magnetic field. The evolution of spin structure with changing the probe position is traced to show that the movable probe can be an effective tool to manipulate the spin. The spin structures are formed when the probe is located in certain regions along the dot due to Coulomb interaction of electrons as they are redistributed between the two sections in which the quantum dot is divided by the potential barrier created by the probe. There are two main states: spin‐polarized and non‐polarized ones. The transition between them is accompanied by a spin precession governed by the Rashba spin–orbit interaction induced by the electric field of the probe. In the transition region the spin density changes strongly while charge distribution remains nearly unchanged. (© 2015 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Some Remarks on Complex Crowns of Riemannian Symmetric Spaces

We discuss several results and problems in which complex geometric constructions appear in the geometry of real pseudo Riemannian symmetric spaces in connection with analysis on such spaces.     

Some notes on the Radon transform and integral geometry

This is an expanded version of a lecture given in Vienna on January 17, 1990 in which the significance of a famous paper by Radon, and the developments originating from it, were discussed.     

Complex crowns of Riemannian symmetric spaces and non-compactly causal symmetric spaces

In this paper we define a distinguished boundary for the complex crowns of non-compact Riemannian symmetric spaces . The basic result is that affine symmetric spaces of can appear as a component of this boundary if and only if they are non-compactly causal symmetric spaces.

     

Holomorphic H-spherical distribution vectors in principal series representations

Let G/H be a semisimple symmetric space. The main tool to embed a principal series representation of G into L²(G/H) are the H-invariant distribution vectors. If G/H is a non-compactly causal symmetric space, then G/H can be realized as a boundary component of the complex crown . In this article we construct a minimal G-invariant subdomain _H of with G/H as Shilov boundary. Let be a spherical principal series representation of G. We show that the space of H-invariant distribution vectors of , which admit a holomorphic extension to _H, is one dimensional. Furthermore we give a spectral definition of a Hardy space corresponding to those distribution vectors. In particular we achieve a geometric realization of a multiplicity free subspace of L²(G/H)_mc in a space of holomorphic functions.
