Raising and lowering operators and their factorization for generalized orthogonal polynomials of hypergeometric type on homogeneous and non-homogeneous lattice

We complete the construction of raising and lowering operators, given in a previous work, for the orthogonal polynomials of hypergeometric type on non-homogeneous lattice, and extend these operators to the generalized orthogonal polynomials, namely, those difference of orthogonal polynomials that satisfy a similar difference equation of hypergeometric type.Comment: LaTeX, 19 pages, (late submission to arXiv.org

Fractional dynamics in the L\'evy quantum kicked rotor

We investigate the quantum kicked rotor in resonance subjected to momentum measurements with a L\'evy waiting time distribution. We find that the system has a sub-ballistic behavior. We obtain an analytical expression for the exponent of the power law of the variance as a function of the characteristic parameter of the L\'evy distribution and connect this anomalous diffusion with a fractional dynamics

On the deformation of abelian integrals

We consider the deformation of abelian integrals which arose from the study of SG form factors. Besides the known properties they are shown to satisfy Riemann bilinear identity. The deformation of intersection number of cycles on hyperelliptic curve is introduced.Comment: 8 pages, AMSTE

Phase structure of the two-fluid proton-neutron system

The phase structure of a two-fluid bosonic system is investigated. The proton-neutron interacting boson model (IBM-2) posesses a rich phase structure involving three control parameters and multiple order parameters. The surfaces of quantum phase transition between spherical, axially-symmetric deformed, and SU*(3) triaxial phases are determined.Comment: RevTeX 4, 4 pages, as published in Phys. Rev. Let

Large-angle non-Gaussianity in simulated high-resolution CMB maps

A detection or nondetection of primordial non-Gaussianity by using the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) offers a way of discriminating inflationary scenarios and testing alternative models of the early universe. This has motivated the considerable effort that has recently gone into the study of theoretical features of primordial non-Gaussianity and its detection in CMB data. Among such attempts to detect non-Gaussianity, there is a procedure that is based upon two indicators constructed from the skewness and kurtosis of large-angle patches of CMB maps, which have been proposed and used to study deviation from Gaussianity in the WMAP data. Simulated CMB maps equipped with realistic primordial non-Gaussianity are essential tools to test the viability of non-Gaussian indicators in practice, and also to understand the effect of systematics, foregrounds and other contaminants. In this work we extend and complement the results of our previous works by performing an analysis of non-Gaussianity of the high-angular resolution simulated CMB temperature maps endowed with non-Gaussianity of the local type, for which the level of non-Gaussianity is characterized by the dimensionless parameter $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm local}$Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure

Nonlocal Cooper pair Splitting in a pSn Junction

Perfect Cooper pair splitting is proposed, based on crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) in a p-type semiconductor - superconductor - n-type semiconductor (pSn) junction. The ideal splitting is caused by the energy filtering that is enforced by the bandstructure of the electrodes. The pSn junction is modeled by the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations and an extension of the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk theory beyond the Andreev approximation. Despite a large momentum mismatch, the CAR current is predicted to be large. The proposed straightforward experimental design and the 100% degree of pureness of the nonlocal current open the way to pSn structures as high quality sources of entanglement
