    Entanglement growth during thermalization in holographic systems

    Full text link
    We derive in detail several universal features in the time evolution of entanglement entropy and other nonlocal observables in quenched holographic systems. The quenches are such that a spatially uniform density of energy is injected at an instant in time, exciting a strongly coupled CFT which eventually equilibrates. Such quench processes are described on the gravity side by the gravitational collapse of a thin shell that results in a black hole. Various nonlocal observables have a unified description in terms of the area of extremal surfaces of different dimensions. In the large distance limit, the evolution of an extremal surface, and thus the corresponding boundary observable, is controlled by the geometry around and inside the event horizon of the black hole, allowing us to identify regimes of pre-local- equilibration quadratic growth, post-local-equilibration linear growth, a memory loss regime, and a saturation regime with behavior resembling those in phase transitions. We also discuss possible bounds on the maximal rate of entanglement growth in relativistic systems.Comment: 36+11 pages, 21 figure

    Temperature Dependence of Magneto Current in Spin Valve Transistor: A phenomenological Study

    Full text link
    The temperature dependence of magneto current in the spin spin valve transistor system is theoretically explored based on phenomenological model. We find that the collector current strongly depends on the relative orientation of magnetic moment of ferromagnetic metals due to spin mixing effect. For example, the collector current is decreasing in the parallel case with increasing temperature, and it is increasing in anti-parallel configuration. We then obtain decreasing magneto current with increasing temperature. The result accords with the experimental data in qualitative manner. This phenomenological model calculations suggest that spin mixing effect may play an important role in the spin valve transistor system at finite temperature.Comment: 8 pages and 4 figure

    Quaternion Electromagnetism and the Relation with 2-Spinor Formalism

    Full text link
    By using complex quaternion, which is the system of quaternion representation extended to complex numbers, we show that the laws of electromagnetism can be expressed much more simply and concisely. We also derive the quaternion representation of rotations and boosts from the spinor representation of Lorentz group. It is suggested that the imaginary 'i' should be attached to the spatial coordinates, and observe that the complex conjugate of quaternion representation is exactly equal to parity inversion of all physical quantities in the quaternion. We also show that using quaternion is directly linked to the two-spinor formalism. Finally, we discuss meanings of quaternion, octonion and sedenion in physics as n-fold rotationComment: Version published in journal Universe (2019

    Asymptotic behavior of the least common multiple of consecutive arithmetic progression terms

    Full text link
    Let ll and mm be two integers with l>m0l>m\ge 0, and let aa and bb be integers with a1a\ge 1 and a+b1a+b\ge 1. In this paper, we prove that loglcmmn<iln{ai+b}=An+o(n)\log {\rm lcm}_{mn<i\le ln}\{ai+b\} =An+o(n), where AA is a constant depending on l,ml, m and aa.Comment: 8 pages.
