Spin glass transition in a magnetic field: a renormalization group study
We study the transition of short range Ising spin glasses in a magnetic
field, within a general replica symmetric field theory, which contains three
masses and eight cubic couplings, that is defined in terms of the fields
representing the replicon, anomalous and longitudinal modes. We discuss the
symmetry of the theory in the limit of replica number n to 0, and consider the
regular case where the longitudinal and anomalous masses remain degenerate.
The spin glass transitions in zero and non-zero field are analyzed in a
common framework. The mean field treatment shows the usual results, that is a
transition in zero field, where all the modes become critical, and a transition
in non-zero field, at the de Almeida-Thouless (AT) line, with only the replicon
mode critical. Renormalization group methods are used to study the critical
behavior, to order epsilon = 6-d. In the general theory we find a stable
fixed-point associated to the spin glass transition in zero field. This
fixed-point becomes unstable in the presence of a small magnetic field, and we
calculate crossover exponents, which we relate to zero-field critical
exponents. In a finite magnetic field, we find no physical stable fixed-point
to describe the AT transition, in agreement with previous results of other
authors.Comment: 36 pages with 4 tables. To be published in Phys. Rev.

RI'/SMOM scheme amplitudes for quark currents at two loops
We determine the two loop corrections to the Green's function of a quark
current inserted in a quark 2-point function at the symmetric subtraction
point. The amplitudes for the scalar, vector and tensor currents are presented
in both the MSbar and RI'/SMOM renormalization schemes. The RI'/SMOM scheme two
loop renormalization for the scalar and tensor cases agree with previous work.
The vector current renormalization requires special treatment as it must be
consistent with the Slavnov-Taylor identity which we demonstrate. We also
discuss the possibility of an alternative definition of the RI'/SMOM scheme in
the case of the tensor current.Comment: 36 latex pages, 1 figure, 21 tables, anc directory contains txt file

Multiwavelength studies of MHD waves in the solar chromosphere: An overview of recent results
The chromosphere is a thin layer of the solar atmosphere that bridges the
relatively cool photosphere and the intensely heated transition region and
corona. Compressible and incompressible waves propagating through the
chromosphere can supply significant amounts of energy to the interface region
and corona. In recent years an abundance of high-resolution observations from
state-of-the-art facilities have provided new and exciting ways of
disentangling the characteristics of oscillatory phenomena propagating through
the dynamic chromosphere. Coupled with rapid advancements in
magnetohydrodynamic wave theory, we are now in an ideal position to thoroughly
investigate the role waves play in supplying energy to sustain chromospheric
and coronal heating. Here, we review the recent progress made in
characterising, categorising and interpreting oscillations manifesting in the
solar chromosphere, with an impetus placed on their intrinsic energetics.Comment: 48 pages, 25 figures, accepted into Space Science Review
