A nonperturbative Real-Space Renormalization Group scheme

Based on the original idea of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG), i.e. to include the missing boundary conditions between adjacent blocks of the blocked quantum system, we present a rigorous and nonperturbative mathematical formulation for the real-space renormalization group (RG) idea invented by L.P. Kadanoff and further developed by K.G. Wilson. This is achieved by using additional Hilbert spaces called auxiliary spaces in the construction of each single isolated block, which is then named a superblock according to the original nomenclature. On this superblock we define two maps called embedding and truncation for successively integrating out the small scale structure. Our method overcomes the known difficulties of the numerical DMRG, i.e. limitation to zero temperature and one space dimension.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figures, late

Notes on a paper of Mess

These notes are a companion to the article "Lorentz spacetimes of constant curvature" by Geoffrey Mess, which was first written in 1990 but never published. Mess' paper will appear together with these notes in a forthcoming issue of Geometriae Dedicata.Comment: 26 page

Approximating the coefficients in semilinear stochastic partial differential equations

We investigate, in the setting of UMD Banach spaces E, the continuous dependence on the data A, F, G and X_0 of mild solutions of semilinear stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative noise of the form dX(t) = [AX(t) + F(t,X(t))]dt + G(t,X(t))dW_H(t), X(0)=X_0, where W_H is a cylindrical Brownian motion on a Hilbert space H. We prove continuous dependence of the compensated solutions X(t)-e^{tA}X_0 in the norms L^p(\Omega;C^\lambda([0,T];E)) assuming that the approximating operators A_n are uniformly sectorial and converge to A in the strong resolvent sense, and that the approximating nonlinearities F_n and G_n are uniformly Lipschitz continuous in suitable norms and converge to F and G pointwise. Our results are applied to a class of semilinear parabolic SPDEs with finite-dimensional multiplicative noise.Comment: Referee's comments have been incorporate

Nuclear structure with accurate chiral perturbation theory nucleon-nucleon potential: Application to 6Li and 10B

We calculate properties of A=6 system using the accurate charge-dependent nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential at fourth order of chiral perturbation theory. By application of the ab initio no-core shell model (NCSM) and a variational calculation in the harmonic oscillator basis with basis size up to 16 hbarOmega we obtain the 6Li binding energy of 28.5(5) MeV and a converged excitation spectrum. Also, we calculate properties of 10B using the same NN potential in a basis space of up to 8 hbarOmega. Our results are consistent with results obtained by standard accurate NN potentials and demonstrate a deficiency of Hamiltonians consisting of only two-body terms. At this order of chiral perturbation theory three-body terms appear. It is expected that inclusion of such terms in the Hamiltonian will improve agreement with experiment.Comment: 9 pages, 14 figure

Noncommutative Bayesian Statistical Inference from a wedge of a Bifurcate Killing Horizon

Expanding a remark of my PHD-thesis the noncommutative bayesian statistical inference from one wedge of a bifurcate Killing horizon is analyzed looking at its inter-relation with the Unruh effectComment: some correction performed; to appear in "International Journal of Theoretical Physics
