    Lattice Fluid Dynamics from Perfect Discretizations of Continuum Flows

    Full text link
    We use renormalization group methods to derive equations of motion for large scale variables in fluid dynamics. The large scale variables are averages of the underlying continuum variables over cubic volumes, and naturally live on a lattice. The resulting lattice dynamics represents a perfect discretization of continuum physics, i.e. grid artifacts are completely eliminated. Perfect equations of motion are derived for static, slow flows of incompressible, viscous fluids. For Hagen-Poiseuille flow in a channel with square cross section the equations reduce to a perfect discretization of the Poisson equation for the velocity field with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The perfect large scale Poisson equation is used in a numerical simulation, and is shown to represent the continuum flow exactly. For non-square cross sections we use a numerical iterative procedure to derive flow equations that are approximately perfect.Comment: 25 pages, tex., using epsfig, minor changes, refernces adde

    Perfect t-embeddings of uniformly weighted Aztec diamonds and tower graphs

    Full text link
    In this work we study a sequence of perfect t-embeddings of uniformly weighted Aztec diamonds. We show that these perfect t-embeddings can be used to prove convergence of gradients of height fluctuations to those of the Gaussian free field. In particular we provide a first proof of the existence of a model satisfying all conditions of the main theorem of arXiv:2109.06272. This confirms the prediction of arXiv:2002.07540. An important part of our proof is to exhibit exact integral formulas for perfect t-embeddings of uniformly weighted Aztec diamonds. In addition, we construct and analyze perfect t-embeddings of another sequence of uniformly weighted finite graphs called tower graphs. Although we do not check all technical assumptions of the mentioned theorem for these graphs, we use perfect t-embeddings to derive a simple transformation which identifies height fluctuations on the tower graph with those of the Aztec diamond.Comment: 45 pages, 18 figures. v2: minor edits to introduction, fixed typo

    Error Free Perfect Secrecy Systems

    Shannon's fundamental bound for perfect secrecy says that the entropy of the secret message cannot be larger than the entropy of the secret key initially shared by the sender and the legitimate receiver. Massey gave an information theoretic proof of this result, however this proof does not require independence of the key and ciphertext. By further assuming independence, we obtain a tighter lower bound, namely that the key entropy is not less than the logarithm of the message sample size in any cipher achieving perfect secrecy, even if the source distribution is fixed. The same bound also applies to the entropy of the ciphertext. The bounds still hold if the secret message has been compressed before encryption. This paper also illustrates that the lower bound only gives the minimum size of the pre-shared secret key. When a cipher system is used multiple times, this is no longer a reasonable measure for the portion of key consumed in each round. Instead, this paper proposes and justifies a new measure for key consumption rate. The existence of a fundamental tradeoff between the expected key consumption and the number of channel uses for conveying a ciphertext is shown. Optimal and nearly optimal secure codes are designed.Comment: Submitted to the IEEE Trans. Info. Theor

    Extended Aharonov-Bohm period analysis of strongly correlated electron systems

    Full text link
    The `extended Aharonov-Bohm (AB) period' recently proposed by Kusakabe and Aoki [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn (65), 2772 (1996)] is extensively studied numerically for finite size systems of strongly correlated electrons. While the extended AB period is the system length times the flux quantum for noninteracting systems, we have found the existence of the boundary across which the period is halved or another boundary into an even shorter period on the phase diagram for these models. If we compare this result with the phase diagram predicted from the Tomonaga-Luttinger theory, devised for low-energy physics, the halved period (or shorter periods) has a one-to-one correspondence to the existence of the pairing (phase separation or metal-insulator transition) in these models. We have also found for the t-J model that the extended AB period does not change across the integrable-nonintegrable boundary despite the totally different level statistics.Comment: 26 pages, RevTex, 16 figures available on request from [email protected], to be published in J.
