Finsler geometry of topological singularities for multi‐valued fields: Applications to continuum theory of defects

Topological singularity in a continuum theory of defects and a quantum field theory is studied from a viewpoint of differential geometry. The integrability conditions of singularity (Clairaut‐Schwarz‐Young theorem) are expressed by a torsion tensor and a curvature tensor when a Finslerian intrinsic parallelism holds for the multi‐valued function. In the context of the quantum field theory, the singularity called an extended object is expressed by the torsion when the intrinsic parallelism is related to the spontaneous breakdown of symmetry. In the continuum theory of defects, the path‐dependency of point and line defects within a crystal is interpreted by the non‐vanishing condition of torsion tensor in a non‐Riemannian space osculated from the Finsler space, and the domain is not simply connected. On the other hand, for the rotational singularity, an energy integral (J‐integral) around a disclination field is path‐independent when a nonlinear connection is single‐valued. This means that the topological expression for the sole defect (Gauss‐Bonnet theorem with genus ) is understood by the integrability of nonlinear connection.

     

Alternative Representations of the Correlation Energy in Density‐Functional Theory: A Kinetic‐Energy Based Adiabatic Connection

The adiabatic‐connection framework has been widely used to explore the properties of the correlation energy in density‐functional theory. The integrand in this formula may be expressed in terms of the electron–electron interactions directly, involving intrinsically two‐particle expectation values. Alternatively, it may be expressed in terms of the kinetic energy, involving only one‐particle quantities. In this work, we explore this alternative representation for the correlation energy and highlight some of its potential for the construction of new density functional approximations. The kinetic‐energy based integrand is effective in concentrating static correlation effects to the low interaction strength regime and approaches zero asymptotically, offering interesting new possibilities for modeling the correlation energy in density‐functional theory

A Representation of the Lorentz Spin Group and Its Application

For an integer m ≥ 4, we define a set of 2[m/2] × 2[m/2] matrices γj （m）, （j = 0, 1,..., m - 1） which satisfy γj （m）γk （m） ＋γk （m）γj （m） = 2ηjk （m）I[m/2], where （ηjk （m）） 0≤j,k≤m-1 is a diagonal matrix, the first diagonal element of which is 1 and the others are -1, I[m/2] is a 2[m/1] × 2[m/2] identity matrix with [m/2] being the integer part of m/2. For m = 4 and 5, the representation （m） of the Lorentz Spin group is known. For m≥ 6, we prove that （i） when m = 2n, （n ≥ 3）, （m） is the group generated by the set of matrices {T｜T=1/√ξ（（I＋k） 0 ＋ 0 I-K） （ U 0 0 U）, （ii） when m = 2n ＋ 1 （n≥ 3）, （m） is generated by the set of matrices {T｜T=1/√ξ（I -k^- k I）U,U∈ （m-1）,ξ=1-m-2 ∑k,j=0 ηkja^k a^j〉0, K=i[m-3 ∑j=0 a^j γj（m-2）＋a^（m-2） In],K^-=i[m-3∑j=0 a^j γj（m-2）-a^（m-2） In]}

Lattices of Fixed Points of Fuzzy Galois Connections

We give a characterization of the fixed points and of the lattices of fixed points of fuzzy Galois connections. It is shown that fixed points are naturally interpreted as concepts in the sense of traditional logic.     

Motion of Chern-Simons number at high temperatures under a chemical potential

I investigate the evolution of finite temperature, classical Yang-Mills field equations under the influence of a chemical potential for Chern-Simons number N_cs. The rate of N_cs diffusion,, Γ_d, and the linear response of N_cs to a chemical potential, Γ_μ, are both computed; the relation Γ_d = 2Γ_μ is satisfied numerically and the results agree with the recent measurement of Γ_d by Ambjørn and Krasnitz. The response of N_cs under chemical potential remains linear at least to μ = 6T, which is impossible if there is a free energy barrier to the motion of N_cs. The possibility that the result depends on lattice artefacts via hard thermal loops is investigated by changing the lattice action and by examining elongated rectangular lattices; provided that the lattice is fine enough, the result is weakly if at all dependent on the specifics of the cutoff. I also compare SU(2) with SU(3) and find Γ_SU(3) 7(_{s/w)⁴ΓSU(2)}.     

Yang-Mills fields with nonquadratic energy

A gauge-invariant nonlinear Hodge-de Rham system is introduced. These equations have the same relation to the Yang-Mills equations that the conventional nonlinear Hodge equations have to the equations of classical Hodge theory. Conditions are given under which weak solutions are locally Hölder continuous. The existence of solutions is proven for variational points of a certain class of nonquadratic energy functionals.     

Exact recession velocity and cosmic redshift based on cosmological principle and Yang-Mills gravity

Based on the cosmological principle and quantum Yang-Mills gravity in the super-macroscopic limit, we obtain an exact recession velocity and cosmic redshift z, as measured in an inertial frame F ≡ F(t, x, y, z). For a matter-dominated universe, we have the effective cosmic metric tensor G_(μν)(t) =(B~2(t),-A~2(t),-A~2(t),-A~2(t)),A ∝ B ∝ t~(1/2), where t has the operational meaning of time in F frame. We assume a cosmic action S ≡ S cos involving Gμν(t) and derive the ‘Okubo equation' of motion, G μν(t)?μS ?νS-m2= 0, for a distant galaxy with mass m. This cos-√mic equation predicts an exact recession velocity, ■, where H = A˙(t)/A(t) and Co = B/A, as observed in the inertial frame F. For small velocities, we have the usual Hubble's law r≈ rH for recession velocities. Following the formulation of the accelerated Wu-Doppler effect, we investigate cosmic redshifts z as measured in F. It is natural to assume the massless Okubo equation, G μν(t)?μψe?νψe= 0, for light emitted from accelerated distant galaxies. Based on the principle of limiting continuation of physical laws, we obtain a transformation for covariant wave 4-vectors between and inertial and an accelerated frame, and predict a relationship for the exact recession velocity and cosmic redshift, z = [(1 + V_r)/(1-V_r~2)~(1/2)]-1, where Vr= r˙/Co 1, as observed in the inertial frame F. These predictions of the cosmic model are consistent with experiments for small velocities and should be further tested.
