    Majorana Fermions in Strongly Interacting Helical Liquids

    Full text link
    Majorana fermions were proposed to occur at edges and interfaces of gapped one-dimensional systems where phases with different topological character meet due to an interplay of spin-orbit coupling, proximity-induced superconductivity and external magnetic fields. Here we investigate the effect of strong particle interactions, and show that the helical liquid offers a mechanism that protects the very existence of Majorana edge states: whereas moderate interactions close the proximity gap which supports the edge states, in helical liquids the gap re-opens due to two-particle processes. However, gapless fermionic excitations occur at spatial proximity to the Majorana states at interfaces and may jeopardize their long term Majorana coherence.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure

    Orbital multicriticality in spin gapped quasi-1D antiferromagnets

    Full text link
    Motivated by the quasi-1D antiferromagnet CaV2_2O4_4, we explore spin-orbital systems in which the spin modes are gapped but orbitals are near a macroscopically degenerate classical transition. Within a simplified model we show that gapless orbital liquid phases possessing power-law correlations may occur without the strict condition of a continuous orbital symmetry. For the model proposed for CaV2_2O4_4, we find that an orbital phase with coexisting order parameters emerges from a multicritical point. The effective orbital model consists of zigzag-coupled transverse field Ising chains. The corresponding global phase diagram is constructed using field theory methods and analyzed near the multicritical point with the aid of an exact solution of a zigzag XXZ model.Comment: 9 page

    Fractional Shot Noise in the Kondo Regime

    Full text link
    Low temperature transport through a quantum dot in the Kondo regime proceeds by a universal combination of elastic and inelastic processes, as dictated by the low-energy Fermi-liquid fixed point. We show that as a result of inelastic processes, the charge detected by a shot-noise experiment is enhanced relative to the noninteracting situation to a universal fractional value, e=5/3ee^*=5/3 e. Thus, shot noise reveals that the Kondo effect involves many-body features even at low energies, despite its Fermi-liquid nature. We discuss the influence of symmetry breaking perturbations.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure

    Local Magnetization in the Boundary Ising Chain at Finite Temperature

    Full text link
    We study the local magnetization in the 2-D Ising model at its critical temperature on a semi-infinite cylinder geometry, and with a nonzero magnetic field hh applied at the circular boundary of circumference β\beta. This model is equivalent to the semi-infinite quantum critical 1-D transverse field Ising model at temperature Tβ1T \propto \beta^{-1}, with a symmetry-breaking field h\propto h applied at the point boundary. Using conformal field theory methods we obtain the full scaling function for the local magnetization analytically in the continuum limit, thereby refining the previous results of Leclair, Lesage and Saleur in Ref. \onlinecite{Leclair}. The validity of our result as the continuum limit of the 1-D lattice model is confirmed numerically, exploiting a modified Jordan-Wigner representation. Applications of the result are discussed.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure

    Low-temperature ordered phases of the spin-12\frac{1}{2} XXZ chain system Cs2_2CoCl4_4

    Full text link
    In this study the magnetic order of the spin-1/2 XXZ chain system Cs2_2CoCl4_4 in a temperature range from 50 mK to 0.5 K and in applied magnetic fields up to 3.5 T is investigated by high-resolution measurements of the thermal expansion and the specific heat. Applying magnetic fields along a or c suppresses TNT_\textrm{N} completely at about 2.1 T. In addition, we find an adjacent intermediate phase before the magnetization saturates close to 2.5 T. For magnetic fields applied along b, a surprisingly rich phase diagram arises. Two additional transitions are observed at critical fields μ0HSF10.25\mu_0 H_{SF1}\simeq 0.25 T and μ0HSF20.7\mu_0 H_{SF2}\simeq 0.7 T, which we propose to arise from a two-stage spin-flop transition.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figure

    Nonspecific Transcription-Factor-DNA Binding Influences Nucleosome Occupancy in Yeast

    AbstractQuantitative understanding of the principles regulating nucleosome occupancy on a genome-wide level is a central issue in eukaryotic genomics. Here, we address this question using budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as a model organism. We perform a genome-wide computational analysis of the nonspecific transcription factor (TF)-DNA binding free-energy landscape and compare this landscape with experimentally determined nucleosome-binding preferences. We show that DNA regions with enhanced nonspecific TF-DNA binding are statistically significantly depleted of nucleosomes. We suggest therefore that the competition between TFs with histones for nonspecific binding to genomic sequences might be an important mechanism influencing nucleosome-binding preferences in vivo. We also predict that poly(dA:dT) and poly(dC:dG) tracts represent genomic elements with the strongest propensity for nonspecific TF-DNA binding, thus allowing TFs to outcompete nucleosomes at these elements. Our results suggest that nonspecific TF-DNA binding might provide a barrier for statistical positioning of nucleosomes throughout the yeast genome. We predict that the strength of this barrier increases with the concentration of DNA binding proteins in a cell. We discuss the connection of the proposed mechanism with the recently discovered pathway of active nucleosome reconstitution

    The interaction between colloids in polar mixtures above Tc

    Full text link
    We calculate the interaction potential between two colloids immersed in an aqueous mixture containing salt near or above the critical temperature. We find an attractive interaction far from the coexistence curve due to the combination of preferential solvent adsorption at the colloids' surface and preferential ion solvation. We show that the ion-specific interaction strongly depends on the amount of salt added as well as on the mixture composition. Our results are in accord with recent experiments. For a highly antagonistic salt of hydrophilic anions and hydrophobic cations, a repulsive interaction at an intermediate inter-colloid distance is predicted even though both the electrostatic and adsorption forces alone are attractive.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure

    Information in Tullock contests

    Get PDF
    In Tullock contests in which the common value of the prize is uncertain and the elasticity of the marginal cost of effort is increasing (decreasing), the effect of changes of players’ information on the equilibrium efforts and payoffs is unambiguous: if information is symmetric, then expected effort decreases (increases) as players become better informed; in two-player contests, the expected effort of a player with information advantage is less (greater) than that of his opponent. Sharper results arise when the cost of effort is linear: Under symmetric information, expected effort and payoff are invariant to changes in the players’ information. In two-player contests, both players exert the same expected effort regardless of their information, although expected effort is smaller when one player has information advantage than when both players have the same information. Interestingly, the expected payoff of a player with information advantage is larger than that of his opponent, even though he wins the prize less frequently.Acknowledgments of financial support: Israel Science Foundation, Grant 648/2 (Einy); Ministerio Economía (Spain), Grants ECO2014-55953-P and MDM2014-0431, and Comunidad de Madrid, Grant S2015/HUM-3444 (Moreno)
