    Laughlin type wave function for two-dimensional anyon fields in a KMS-state

    Get PDF
    The correlation functions of two-dimensional anyon fields in a KMS-state are studied. For T=0 the nn-particle wave functions of noncanonical fermions of level α\alpha, α\alpha odd, are shown to be of Laughlin type of order α\alpha. For T>0T>0 they are given by a simple finite-temperature generalization of Laughlin's wave function. This relates the first and second quantized pictures of the fractional quantum Hall effect.Comment: 9 pages, LaTeX, comments and references added (version to appear in Physics Letters B

    Dirac Variables and Zero Modes of Gauss Constraint in Finite-Volume Two-Dimensional QED

    Get PDF
    The finite-volume QED1+1_{1+1} is formulated in terms of Dirac variables by an explicit solution of the Gauss constraint with possible nontrivial boundary conditions taken into account. The intrinsic nontrivial topology of the gauge group is thus revealed together with its zero-mode residual dynamics. Topologically nontrivial gauge transformations generate collective excitations of the gauge field above Coleman's ground state, that are completely decoupled from local dynamics, the latter being equivalent to a free massive scalar field theory.Comment: 13 pages, LaTe

    A pair potential supporting a mixed mean-field / BCS- phase

    Full text link
    We construct a Hamiltonian which in a scaling limit becomes equivalent to one that can be diagonalized by a Bogoliubov transformation. There may appear simultaneously a mean-field and a superconducting phase. They influence each other in a complicated way. For instance, an attractive mean field may stimulate the superconducting phase and a repulsive one may destroy it.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, LaTe

    High-TcT_c superconductivity by phase cloning

    Get PDF
    We consider a BCS-type model in the spin formalism and argue that the structure of the interaction provides a mechanism for control over directions of the spin \vect S other than SzS_z, which is being controlled via the conventional chemical potential. We also find the conditions for the appearance of a high-TcT_c superconducting phase.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures v3: section 2 edite

    Quantum gauge fields and flat connections in 2-dimensional BF theory

    Get PDF
    The 2-dimensional BF theory is both a gauge theory and a topological Poisson σ\sigma-model corresponding to a linear Poisson bracket. In \cite{To1}, Torossian discovered a connection which governs correlation functions of the BF theory with sources for the BB-field. This connection is flat, and it is a close relative of the KZ connection in the WZW model. In this paper, we show that flatness of the Torossian connection follows from (properly regularized) quantum equations of motion of the BF theory.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figure

    Second-quantization picture of the edge currents in the fractional quantum Hall effect

    Full text link
    We study the quantum theory of two-dimensional electrons in a magnetic field and an electric field generated by a homogeneous background. The dynamics separates into a microscopic and macroscopic mode. The latter is a circular Hall current which is described by a chiral quantum field theory. It is shown how in this second quantized picture a Laughlin-type wave function emerges.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure, LaTeX; comments on the particle density and the charge added, the figure improve

    Do anyons solve Heisenberg's Urgleichung in one dimension

    Get PDF
    We construct solutions to the chiral Thirring model in the framework of algebraic quantum field theory. We find that for all positive temperatures there are fermionic solutions only if the coupling constant is λ=2(2n+1)π,n∈N\lambda = \sqrt{2(2n + 1)\pi}, n \in \bf N.Comment: 19 pages LaTeX, to appear in Eur.

    On Turbulence and its Effects on Aerodynamics of Flow through Turbine Stages

    Get PDF
    In reality, the flows encountered in turbines are highly three‐dimensional, viscous, turbulent, and often transonic. These complex flows will not yield to understanding or prediction of their behavior without the application of contemporary and strong modeling techniques, together with an adequate turbulence model, to reveal effects of turbulence phenomenon and its impact on flow past turbine blades. The discussion primarily targets the turbulence features and their impact on fluid dynamics; streaming of blades, and efficiency performance. Turbulence as a phenomenon, turbulence effects and the transition onset in turbine stages are discussed. Flow parameters distribution past turbine stages, approaches to turbulence modeling, and how turbulent effects change efficiency and require an innovative design, among others are presented. Furthermore, a comparison study regarding the application and availability of various turbulence models is fulfilled, showing that every aerodynamic effect, encountered of flow pass turbine blades can be predicted via different model. This work could be very helpful for researchers and engineers working on prediction of transition onset, turbulence effects, and their impact on the overall turbine performance
