Local Minimizers of the Ginzburg-Landau Energy with Magnetic Field in Three Dimensions

We establish the existence of locally minimizing vortex solutions to the full Ginzburg-Landau energy in three dimensional simply-connected domains with or without the presence of an applied magnetic field. The approach is based upon the theory of weak Jacobians and applies to nonconvex sample geometries for which there exists a configuration of locally shortest line segments with endpoints on the boundary.Research partially supported by NSERC grant number 261955     

Striped Periodic Minimizers of a Two-Dimensional Model for Martensitic Phase Transitions

In this paper we consider a simplified two-dimensional scalar model for the formation of mesoscopic domain patterns in martensitic shape-memory alloys at the interface between a region occupied by the parent (austenite) phase and a region occupied by the product (martensite) phase, which can occur in two variants (twins). The model, first proposed by Kohn and Müller (Philos Mag A 66(5):697–715, 1992), is defined by the following functional:

Mean Field Analysis of Personalized PageRank with Implications for Local Graph Clustering

We analyse a mean-field model of Personalized PageRank (PPR) on the Erd?s–Rényi (ER) random graph containing a denser planted ER subgraph. We investigate the regimes where the values of PPR concentrate around the mean-field value. We also study the optimization of the damping factor, the only parameter in PPR. Our theoretical results help to understand the applicability of PPR and its limitations for local graph clustering.     

A New Determination of the Lambda-Nucleon Coupling Constants in Relativistic Mean Field Theory

A new determination of the Lambda-nucleon coupling constants in relativistic mean field theory is presented by optimizing both hyperon binding energy and spin-orbit splitting.Hypernuclear single particle spectra with the new coupling constants suggest the good agreement between the calculation and available data.The spin-orbit splitting of hyperon in medium mass hypernuclei is systematically larger than that in light-or heavy-mass hypernuclei.The sensitivity of the Lambda spin-orbit splitting to the omega-Lambda-Lambda tensor coupling term is also explored.     

Description of ^178Hf^m2 in the Constrained Relativistic Mean Field Theory

Properties of the ground state of ^178Hf and the isomeric state ^178Hf^m2 are studied within the adiabatic and diabatie constrained relativistic mean field （RMF） approaches. The RMF calculations reproduce well the binding energy and the deformation for the ground state of ^178Hf. Using the ground state single-particle eigenvalues obtained in the present eaiculation, the lowest excitation configuration with K^π = 16^＋ is found to be v（7/2^-[514]）^-1（9/2^＋ [624]）^1 π（7/2^＋ [404]）^-1 （9/2^-[514]）^1. Its excitation energy caiculated by the RMF theory with time-odd fields taken into account is equal to 2.801 MeV, i.e., close to the ^178Hf^m2 experimentai excitation energy 2.446 MeV. The self-consistent procedure accounting for the time-odd component of the meson fields is the most important aspect of the present calculation.     

Regularity of Local Minimizers of the Interaction Energy Via Obstacle Problems

The repulsion strength at the origin for repulsive/attractive potentials determines the regularity of local minimizers of the interaction energy. In this paper, we show that if this repulsion is like Newtonian or more singular than Newtonian (but still locally integrable), then the local minimizers must be locally bounded densities (and even continuous for more singular than Newtonian repulsion). We prove this (and some other regularity results) by first showing that the potential function associated to a local minimizer solves an obstacle problem and then by using classical regularity results for such problems.     

Mean Field Frozen Percolation

We define a modification of the Erd?s-Rényi random graph process which can be regarded as the mean field frozen percolation process. We describe the behavior of the process using differential equations and investigate their solutions in order to show the self-organized critical and extremum properties of the critical frozen percolation model. We prove two limit theorems about the distribution of the size of the component of a typical frozen vertex.     

Local Causal Structures,Hadamard States and the Principle of Local Covariance in Quantum Field Theory

In the framework of the algebraic formulation, we discuss and analyse some new features of the local structure of a real scalar quantum field theory in a strongly causal spacetime. In particular, we use the properties of the exponential map to set up a local version of a bulk-to-boundary correspondence. The bulk is a suitable subset of a geodesic neighbourhood of an arbitrary but fixed point p of the underlying background, while the boundary is a part of the future light cone having p as its own tip. In this regime, we provide a novel notion for the extended *-algebra of Wick polynomials on the aforesaid cone and, on the one hand, we prove that it contains the information of the bulk counterpart via an injective *-homomorphism while, on the other hand, we associate to it a distinguished state whose pull-back in the bulk is of Hadamard form. The main advantage of this point of view arises if one uses the universal properties of the exponential map and of the light cone in order to show that, for any two given backgrounds M and M′ and for any two subsets of geodesic neighbourhoods of two arbitrary points, it is possible to engineer the above procedure such that the boundary extended algebras are related via a restriction homomorphism. This allows for the pull-back of boundary states in both spacetimes and, thus, to set up a machinery which permits the comparison of expectation values of local field observables in M and M′.     

Gaussian Mean Field Lattice Gas

We study rigorously a lattice gas version of the Sherrington–Kirckpatrick spin glass model. In discrete optimization literature this problem is known as unconstrained binary quadratic programming and it belongs to the class NP-hard. We prove that the fluctuations of the ground state energy tend to vanish in the thermodynamic limit, and we give a lower bound of such ground state energy. Then we present a heuristic algorithm, based on a probabilistic cellular automaton, which seems to be able to find configurations with energy very close to the minimum, even for quite large instances.     

Local Primitive Causality and the Common Cause Principle in Quantum Field Theory

If (V) is a net of local von Neumann algebras satisfying standard axioms of algebraic relativistic quantum field theory and V ₁ and V ₂ are spacelike separated spacetime regions, then the system ( (V ₁ ), (V ₂ ), ) is said to satisfy the Weak Reichenbach's Common Cause Principle iff for every pair of projections A (V ₁ ), B (V ₂ ) correlated in the normal state there exists a projection C belonging to a von Neumann algebra associated with a spacetime region V contained in the union of the backward light cones of V ₁ and V ₂ and disjoint from both V ₁ and V ₂ , a projection having the properties of a Reichenbachian common cause of the correlation between A and B. It is shown that if the net has the local primitive causality property then every local system ( (V ₁ ), (V ₂ ), ) with a locally normal and locally faithful state and suitable bounded V ₁ and V ₂ satisfies the Weak Reichenbach's Common Cause Principle.     

Gluon-meson duality in the Mean Field Approximation

In a gauge-fixed language gluon-meson duality can be described as the Higgs mechanism for “spontaneous symmetry breaking” of color. We present a mean field computation which suggests that this phenomenon is plausible in QCD. One obtains realistic masses of the light mesons and baryons.

Bihamiltonian Hierarchies in 2D Topological Field Theory At One-Loop Approximation

We compute the genus one correction to the integrable hierarchy describing coupling to gravity of a 2D topological field theory. The bihamiltonian structure of the hierarchy is given by a classical W-algebra; we compute the central charge of this algebra. We also express the generating function of elliptic Gromov–Witten invariants via tau-function of the isomonodromy deformation problem arising in the theory of WDVV equations of associativity.

Space Dependent Mean Field Approximation Modelling

It is shown that the self-consistency condition which is the basic equation for calculating the mean-field order parameter of any mean-field model Hamiltonian can be replaced by the standard Metropolis Monte Carlo scheme. The advantage of this method is its ease of implementation for both the homogeneous mean-field order parameter and the heterogeneous one. To be specific, the mean-field version of the Ising model spin system is discussed in detail and the resulting magnetization is the same as in the case of solving the respective mean-field self-consistency equation. In addition, it is shown that if a high temperature phase of such system is quenched below critical temperature then the mean field experienced by spins develops into a network of domains in analogous way as it happens with the spins in the case of the exact many-body Hamiltonian system and the coarsening processes start to take place. To show that the introduced Metropolis Monte Carlo method works also in case of the continuous variables the order parameter for the Maier-Saupe model for nematic liquid crystals has been calculated.     

QP-Structures of Degree 3 and 4D Topological Field Theory

A BV algebra and a QP-structure of the degree 3 is formulated. A QP-structure of degree 3 gives rise to Lie algebroids up to homotopy and its algebraic and geometric structure is analyzed. A new algebroid is constructed, which derives a new topological field theory in 4 dimensions by the AKSZ construction.
