Kazhdan–Lusztig equivalence and fusion of Kac modules in Virasoro logarithmic models

The subject of our study is the Kazhdan–Lusztig (KL) equivalence in the context of a one-parameter family of logarithmic CFTs based on Virasoro symmetry with the (1,p)$(1,p)$ central charge. All finite-dimensional indecomposable modules of the KL-dual quantum group — the “full” Lusztig quantum s?(2)$s?(2)$ at the root of unity — are explicitly described. These are exhausted by projective modules and four series of modules that have a functorial correspondence with any finitely-generated quotient or a submodule of Feigin–Fuchs modules over the Virasoro algebra. Our main result includes calculation of tensor products of any pair of the indecomposable modules. Based on the Kazhdan–Lusztig equivalence between quantum groups and vertex-operator algebras, fusion rules of Kac modules over the Virasoro algebra in the (1,p)$(1,p)$ LCFT models are conjectured.     

Poisson–Lie Generalization of the Kazhdan–Kostant–Sternberg Reduction

The trigonometric Ruijsenaars–Schneider model is derived by symplectic reduction of Poisson–Lie symmetric free motion on the group U(n). The commuting flows of the model are effortlessly obtained by reducing canonical free flows on the Heisenberg double of U(n). The free flows are associated with a very simple Lax matrix, which is shown to yield the Ruijsenaars–Schneider Lax matrix upon reduction.     

Infinite-Dimensional Schur–Weyl Duality and the Coxeter–Laplace Operator

We extend the classical Schur–Weyl duality between representations of the groups ${SL(n, \mathbb{C})}$ and ${\mathfrak{S}_N}$ to the case of ${SL(n, \mathbb{C})}$ and the infinite symmetric group ${\mathfrak{S}_\mathbb{N}}$ . Our construction is based on a “dynamic,” or inductive, scheme of Schur–Weyl dualities. It leads to a new class of representations of the infinite symmetric group, which has not appeared earlier. We describe these representations and, in particular, find their spectral types with respect to the Gelfand–Tsetlin algebra. The main example of such a representation acts in an incomplete infinite tensor product. As an important application, we consider the weak limit of the so-called Coxeter–Laplace operator, which is essentially the Hamiltonian of the XXX Heisenberg model, in these representations.     

Double compactons in the Olver–Rosenau equation

It is showed that the fully nonlinear evolution equations of Olver and Rosenau can be reduced to Hamiltonian form by transformation of variables. The resulting Hamiltonian equations are treated by the dynamical systems theory and a phase-space analysis of their singular points is presented. The results of this study demonstrate that the equations can support double compactons. The new Olver–Rosenau compactons are different from the well-known Rosenau–Hyman compacton and Cooper–Shepard–Sodano compacton, because they are induced by a singular elliptic instead of singular straight line on phase-space.     

A Generalization of Schur–Weyl Duality with Applications in Quantum Estimation

Schur–Weyl duality is a powerful tool in representation theory which has many applications to quantum information theory. We provide a generalization of this duality and demonstrate some of its applications. In particular, we use it to develop a general framework for the study of a family of quantum estimation problems wherein one is given n copies of an unknown quantum state according to some prior and the goal is to estimate certain parameters of the given state. In particular, we are interested to know whether collective measurements are useful and if so to find an upper bound on the amount of entanglement which is required to achieve the optimal estimation. In the case of pure states, we show that commutativity of the set of observables that define the estimation problem implies the sufficiency of unentangled measurements.     

Logarithmic correction to the Brane equationin topological Reissner-Nordström de Sitter space

In this paper we study braneworld cosmology when the bulk space is a charged black hole in de Sitter space (topological Reissner-Nordström de Sitter Space) in a general number of dimensions; then we compute the leading order correction to the Friedmann equation that arises from logarithmic corrections to the entropy in the holographic-braneworld cosmological framework. Finally we consider the holographic entropy bounds in this scenario, and we show that the entropy bounds are also modified by a logarithmic term.Received: 17 June 2004, Revised: 3 October 2004, Published online: 26 November 2004     

Testing the Concept of Quark–Hadron Duality with the ALEPH τ Decay Data

We propose a modified procedure for extracting the numerical value for the strong coupling constant α _s from the τ lepton hadronic decay rate into non-strange particles in the vector channel. We employ the concept of the quark–hadron duality specifically, introducing a boundary energy squared s _p > 0, the onset of the perturbative QCD continuum in Minkowski space (Bertlmann et al. in Nucl Phys B 250:61, 1985; de Rafael in An introduction to sum rules in QCD. In: Lectures at the Les Houches Summer School. arXiv: 9802448 [hep-ph], 1997; Peris et al. in JHEP 9805:011, 1998). To approximate the hadronic spectral function in the region s > s _p, we use analytic perturbation theory (APT) up to the fifth order. A new feature of our procedure is that it enables us to extract from the data simultaneously the QCD scale parameter ${\Lambda_{\overline{\rm MS}}}$ and the boundary energy squared s _p. We carefully determine the experimental errors on these parameters which come from the errors on the invariant mass squared distribution. For the ${\overline{\rm MS}}$ scheme coupling constant, we obtain ${\alpha_s(m^{2}_{\tau})=0.3204\pm 0.0159_{exp.}}$ . We show that our numerical analysis is much more stable against higher-order corrections than the standard one. Additionally, we recalculate the “experimental” Adler function in the infrared region using final ALEPH results. The uncertainty on this function is also determined.     

A Langevin approach to the Log–Gauss–Pareto composite statistical structure

The distribution of wealth in human populations displays a Log–Gauss–Pareto composite statistical structure: its density is Log–Gauss in its central body, and follows power-law decay in its tails. This composite statistical structure is further observed in other complex systems, and on a logarithmic scale it displays a Gauss-Exponential structure: its density is Gauss in its central body, and follows exponential decay in its tails. In this paper we establish an equilibrium Langevin explanation for this statistical phenomenon, and show that: (i) the stationary distributions of Langevin dynamics with sigmoidal force functions display a Gauss-Exponential composite statistical structure; (ii) the stationary distributions of geometric Langevin dynamics with sigmoidal force functions display a Log–Gauss–Pareto composite statistical structure. This equilibrium Langevin explanation is universal — as it is invariant with respect to the specific details of the sigmoidal force functions applied, and as it is invariant with respect to the specific statistics of the underlying noise.     

Geometry in the Entanglement Dynamics of the Double Jaynes–Cummings Model

We report on the geometric character of the entanglement dynamics of two pairs of qubits evolving according to the double Jaynes–Cummings model. We show that the entanglement dynamics for the initial states | ψ ₀〉 = cos α | 10〉 + sin α | 01〉 and | ? ₀〉 = cos α | 11〉 + sin α | 00〉 cover three-dimensional surfaces in the diagram C _ij × C _ik × C _il , where C _mn stands for the concurrence between qubits m and n, varying 0 ≤ α ≤ π / 2. In the first case, projections of the surfaces on a diagram C _ij × C _kl are conics. In the second case, curves can be more complex. We relate those conics with a measurable quantity, the predictability. We also derive inequalities limiting the sum of the squares of the concurrence of every bipartition and show that sudden death of entanglement is intimately connected to the size of the average radius of a hypersphere.     

Critical and multicritical behavior in the Ising–Heisenberg universality class

Critical behavior of three-dimensional classical frustrated antiferromagnets with a collinear spin ordering and with an additional twofold degeneracy of the ground state is studied. We consider two lattice models, whose continuous limit describes a single phase transition with a symmetry class differing from the class of non-frustrated magnets as well as from the classes of magnets with non-collinear spin ordering. A symmetry breaking is described by a pair of independent order parameters, which are similar to order parameters of the Ising and O(N) models correspondingly. Using the renormalization group method, it is shown that a transition is of first order for non-Ising spins. For Ising spins, a second order phase transition from the universality class of the O(2) model may be observed. The lattice models are considered by Monte Carlo simulations based on the Wang–Landau algorithm. The models are a ferromagnet on a body-centered cubic lattice with the additional antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between next-nearest-neighbor spins and an antiferromagnet on a simple cubic lattice with the additional interaction in layers. We consider the cases N = 1, 2, 3 and in all of them find a first-order transition. For the N = 1 case we exclude possibilities of the second order or pseudo-first order of a transition. An almost second order transition for large N is also discussed.     

A New Approach to the Lenard–Magri Scheme of Integrability

We develop a new approach to the Lenard–Magri scheme of integrability of bi-Hamiltonian PDEs, when one of the Poisson structures is a strongly skew-adjoint differential operator.     

A perturbative approach to the quantum elliptic Calogero–Sutherland model

We solve perturbatively the quantum elliptic Calogero–Sutherland model in the regime in which the quotient between the real and imaginary semiperiods of the Weierstrass $\text{P}$ function is small.     

A II1 Factor Approach to the Kadison–Singer Problem

We show that the Kadison–Singer problem, asking whether the pure states of the diagonal subalgebra \({\ell^\infty\mathbb{N}\subset \mathcal{B}(\ell^2\mathbb{N})}\) have unique state extensions to \({\mathcal{B}(\ell^2\mathbb{N})}\) , is equivalent to a similar statement in II₁ factor framework, concerning the ultrapower inclusion \({D^\omega \subset R^\omega}\) , where D is the Cartan subalgebra of the hyperfinite II₁ factor R (i.e., a maximal abelian *-subalgebra of R whose normalizer generates R, e.g. \({D=L^\infty([0, 1]^{\mathbb{Z}}) \subset L^\infty([0,1]^{\mathbb{Z}} \rtimes \mathbb{Z} = R)}\) , and ω is a free ultrafilter. Instead, we prove here that if A is any singular maximal abelian *-subalgebra of R (i.e., whose normalizer consists of the unitary group of A, e.g. \({A=L(\mathbb{Z})\subset L^\infty([0,1]^\mathbb{Z})\rtimes \mathbb{Z}=R}\) ), then the inclusion \({A^\omega \subset R^\omega}\) does satisfy the Kadison–Singer property.
