Two-dimensional monomer-dimer systems are computationally intractable

The classic problem of counting monomer-dimer arrangements on a two-dimensional lattice is analyzed using techniques from theoretical computer science. Under a certain assumption, made precise in the text, it can be shown that the general problem is computationally intractable. This negative result contrasts with the special case of a system with monomer density zero, for which efficient solutions have been known for some time. A second, much easier result, obtained under the same assumption, is that the partition function of a three-dimensional Ising system is computationally intractable. Again, the negative result contrasts with known efficient techniques for evaluating the partition function of a two-dimensional system.     

The long-range correlations of various Ising lattices

The object of this paper is to determine the long-range order parameter for any Ising lattice whose partition function can be evaluated by existing methods. The partition function of a general class of two-dimensional lattices is evaluated by a technique found byGreek andHurst, and this technique is extended to determine correlation coefficients. In this way the determination of the long-range correlation coefficients is reduced to an eigenvalue problem, which can be solved by algebraic methods. A simple formula is found for the long-range order parameter, which contains, but is considerably more general than the known result for the rectangular lattice.     

Theory of Photo-emission from the Two-Dimensional t-J Model on a Triangular Lattice

The electron spectral function, the electron dispersion, and the electron density of states of the two-dimensional t-J model on a triangular lattice are studied within the selfconsistent fermion-spin mean-field theory. It is shown that there is a gap in the electron dispersions, and the global features of the electron spectral function is qualitatively similar to the result of the t-J model on a square lattice.     

Generalized Bethe ansatz equations for Hofstadter problem

The problem of diagonalization of the quantum mechanical Hamiltonian, governing dynamics of an electron on a two-dimensional triangular or square lattice in external uniform magnetic field, applied perpendicularly to the lattice plane, the flux through lattice cell, divided by the elementary quantum flux, being a rational number, is reduced to the generalized Bethe ansatz like equations on the high genus algebraic curve. Our formulae for the trigonometric case, where the genus of the curve vanishes, contain as a particular case a recent result of Wiegmann and Zabrodin.Supported by the Russian Academy of Sciences and Academy of Finland     

Wave radiation in lattice fracture

The square and triangular lattices are considered, where the uniform crack growth is accompanied by the wave radiation. The radiation energy and structure are studied. The energy radiated to the bulk of the lattice is found in a direct way. The radiation structure is described based on the crack problem solution and by means of the analysis of two-dimensional dispersion relations for the intact lattice. The mode III problem for square lattice is discussed in detail, whereas, in the case of the plane problem for the triangular lattice, the only those results are derived which follow from the two-dimensional dispersion relations. It is shown that there exists a finite crack-speed-dependent region of wavenumbers corresponding to the waves radiated to the bulk of the lattice. In the case of the triangular-cell lattice, in addition, one or several lattice Rayleigh waves are radiated. For the square lattice a complete solution for the wave field is presented with the crack-speed-dependent far-field asymptote. The latter is characterized by the wave amplitude asymptotically decreasing as the distance from the crack front in power −1/3. The asymptotically significant crack-speed-dependent direction of the radiation is determined. Such asymptotic results are also valid for the triangular lattice.     

Two-dimensional imaging of gauge fields in optical lattices

We propose a scheme to generate an arbitrary Abelian vector potential for atoms trapped in a two-dimensional optical lattice. By making the optical lattice potential dependent on the atomic state, we transform the problem into that of a two-dimensional imaging. It is shown that an arbitrarily fine pattern of the gauge field in the lattice can be realized without need of diffraction-limited imaging.

R MODIFIED RECURSION METHOD FOR ONE-DIMENSIONAL POTTS MODEL

A modified recursion method is proposed and used to produce the exact result of the partition function for a one-dimensional Potts model with either free boundary or periodic boundary. The method is compared with both transfer matrix method and Marchi and Vila's method. It may perhaps provide a possible way to solve the Potts model on two-dimensional square lattice.     

Monomer-dimer model on a scale-free small-world network

The explicit determination of the number of monomer-dimer arrangements on a network is a theoretical challenge, and exact solutions to monomer-dimer problem are available only for few limiting graphs with a single monomer on the boundary, e.g., rectangular lattice and quartic lattice; however, analytical research (even numerical result) for monomer-dimer problem on scale-free small-world networks is still missing despite the fact that a vast variety of real systems display simultaneously scale-free and small-world structures. In this paper, we address the monomer-dimer problem defined on a scale-free small-world network and obtain the exact formula for the number of all possible monomer-dimer arrangements on the network, based on which we also determine the asymptotic growth constant of the number of monomer-dimer arrangements in the network. We show that the obtained asymptotic growth constant is much less than its counterparts corresponding to two-dimensional lattice and Sierpinski fractal having the same average degree as the studied network, which indicates from another aspect that scale-free networks have a fundamentally distinct architecture as opposed to regular lattices and fractals without power-law behavior.     

A two-dimensional Heisenberg <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis> = 1 antiferromagnet with exchange interactions of two types on a hexagonal lattice: RSRG and DMRG analyses

An anisotropic Heisenberg spin S = 1 model on a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice (formed from interacting chains) with antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor interactions of two types is analyzed by the real space renormalization group method. The problem of the influence of interchain pairing on the critical properties of the model is studied, and the phase diagram of the model is constructed. The two-dimensional density matrix renormalization group algorithm is used to calculate the ground state energy for the isotropic case as a function of the ratio between interchain and intrachain interactions.     

Small coupling (low temperature) expansions of nonabelian Yang-Mills fields on a lattice in temporal gauge

A systematic approach to large β expansions of nonabelian lattice gauge theories in temporal gauge is developed. The gauge fields are parameterized by a particular set of coordinates. The main problem is to define a regularization scheme for the infrared singularity that in this gauge appears in the Green's function in the infinite lattice limit. Comparison with exactly solvable two-dimensional models proves that regularization by subtraction of a naive translation invariant Green's function does not work. It suggests to use a Green's function of a half-space lattice first, to place the local observable in this lattice, and to let its distance from the lattice boundary tend to infinity at the end. This program is applied to the Wilson loop correlation function for the gauge group SU(2) which is calculated to second order in $\text{1}\text{β}$.     

SU(2)-invariant continuum theory for an unconventional phase transition in a three-dimensional classical dimer model

We derive a continuum theory for the phase transition in a classical dimer model on the cubic lattice, observed in recent Monte Carlo simulations. Our derivation relies on the mapping from a three-dimensional classical problem to a two-dimensional quantum problem, by which the dimer model is related to a model of hard-core bosons on the kagome lattice. The dimer-ordering transition becomes a superfluid-Mott insulator quantum phase transition at fractional filling, described by an SU(2)-invariant continuum theory.

Phase structure of U(N→∞) gauge theory on a two-dimensional lattice for a broad class of variant actions

It is pointed out that finding the partition function for U(N) gauge theory on a two-dimensional lattice in the limit N→∞ reduces, for a broad class of single-plaquette actions, to a well-known and solved mathematical problem. The case where in the single plaquette action the matrix U + U⁺ occuring in Wilson's formula is replaced by an arbitrary polynomial in this matrix, is discussed in detail and explicit results for the second-order polynomial are presented. A rich phase structure with second- and third-order phase transitions is found. The results are shown to have at the qualitative level a simple thermodynamical interpretation. They support the view that the phase structure of a lattice gauge theory is an artifact of the lattice action used rather than some reflection of the underlying group structure.

Holographic lithography of a two-dimensional hexagonal structure: Effect of beam polarization

A comparison is made between the theoretical determination of the interference contrast function with fabricated two-dimensional hexagonal structures of submicron lattice constant. Experiments were performed using a siloxane based hybrid organic-inorganic material and a holographic lithography method.Thin hybrid structured layers were fabricated and characterized for different conditions of beam polarizations between 0° and 90°. As a result, the photo patterning appears to be strongly dependent on beam polarization in accordance with theoretical predictions.

Integrable Lattice Spin Models from Supersymmetric Dualities

Recently, there has been observed an interesting correspondence between supersymmetric quiver gauge theories with four supercharges and integrable lattice models of statistical mechanics such that the two-dimensional spin lattice is the quiver diagram, the partition function of the lattice model is the partition function of the gauge theory and the Yang–Baxter equation expresses the identity of partition functions for dual pairs. This correspondence is a powerful tool which enables us to generate new integrable models. The aim of the present paper is to give a short account on a progress in integrable lattice models which has been made due to the relationship with supersymmetric gauge theories and make clear notes on the special functions used by several authors.
