Crossover critical correlation function

The anomalous dimension index assumes its critical value for small momenta and vanishes for large momenta. We provide, in the form of a quadrature, a momentum dependent (k) which interpolates between the above limits. High- and low-momentum expansions for the spectral function are obtained, leading to a Padé approximant from which (k) is determined, thereby giving a crossover critical correlation function.Dedicated to B.

Pairing correlations on t-U-J ladders

We find that the pairing correlations on the usual t-U Hubbard ladder are significantly enhanced by the addition of a nearest-neighbor exchange interaction J. Likewise, these correlations are also enhanced for the t-J model when the on-site Coulomb interaction is reduced from infinity. Moreover, the pairing correlations are larger on a t-U-J ladder than on a t-J(eff) ladder in which J(eff) has been adjusted so that the two models have the same spin gap at half filling. This enhancement of the pairing correlations is associated with an increase in the pair-binding energy and the pair mobility in the t-U-J model and points to the importance of the charge-transfer nature of the cuprate systems.     

Classical spin-field model of a one-dimensional ferromagnet in an external magnetic field

Vectorial Approach to Fast Correlation Attacks

A new, vectorial approach to fast correlation attacks on binary memoryless combiners is proposed. Instead of individual input sequences or their linear combinations, the new attack is targeting subsets of input sequences as a whole thus exploiting the full correlation between the chosen subset and the output sequence. In particular, the set of all the input sequences can be chosen as the target. The attack is based on a novel iterative probabilistic algorithm which is also applicable to general memoryless combiners over finite fields or finite rings. To illustrate the effectiveness of the introduced approach, experimental results obtained for random balanced combining functions are presentedMost of this work was done while he was with Rome CryptoDesign Center, Gemplus, Italy
