Scale Separation Scheme for Simulating Superfluid Turbulence: Kelvin-Wave Cascade

A Kolmogorov-type cascade of Kelvin waves--the distortion waves on vortex lines--plays a key part in the relaxation of superfluid turbulence at low temperatures. We propose an efficient numeric scheme for simulating the Kelvin wave cascade on a single vortex line. The idea is likely to be generalizable for a full-scale simulation of different regimes of superfluid turbulence. With the new scheme, we are able to unambiguously resolve the cascade spectrum exponent, and thus to settle the controversy between recent simulations [1] and recently developed analytic theory [2].

Critical Temperature Shift in Weakly Interacting Bose Gas

With a high-performance Monte Carlo algorithm we study the interaction-induced shift of the critical point in weakly interacting three-dimensional $|\psi|^4$-theory (which includes quantum Bose gas). In terms of critical density, $n_c$, mass, $m$, interaction, $U$, and temperature, $T$, this shift is universal: $\Delta n_c(T) = - C m^3 T^2 U$, the constant $C$ found to be equal to $0.0140 \pm 0.0005$. For quantum Bose gas with the scattering length $a$ this implies $\Delta T_c/T_c = C_0 a n^{1/3}$, with $C_0=1.29 \pm 0.05$.Comment: 4 pages, latex, 3 figure

Superfluid-Superfluid Phase Transitions in Two-Component Bose System

Depending on the Hamiltonian parameters, two-component bosons in an optical lattice can form at least three different superfluid phases in which both components participate in the superflow: a (strongly interacting) mixture of two miscible superfluids (2SF), a paired superfluid vacuum (PSF), and (at a commensurate total filling factor) the super-counter-fluid state (SCF). We study universal properties of the 2SF-PSF and 2SF-SCF quantum phase transitions and show that (i) they can be mapped onto each other, and (ii) their universality class is identical to the (d+1)-dimensional normal-superfluid transition in a single-component liquid. Finite-temperature 2SF-PSF(SCF) transitions and the topological properties of 2SF-PSF(SCF) interfaces are also discussed.Comment: 4pages, 2 figures, REVTe

Emergent BCS regime of the two-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model: ground-state phase diagram

A significant part of the phase diagram of the two-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model for moderate interactions and filling factors ($U < 4, \, n<0.7$) is governed by effective Fermi liquid physics with weak BCS-type instabilities. We access this regime in a controlled way by a combination of the bold-line diagrammatic Monte Carlo method with an additional ladder-diagram summation trick and semi-analytic treatment of the weak instability in the Cooper channel. We obtain the corresponding ground-state phase diagram in the $(n,U)$ plane describing the competition between the $p-$ and $d-$wave superfluid states. We also claim the values of the dimensionless BCS coupling constants controlling the superfluid $T_c$ at the phase boundaries, which prove to be very small up to $U=4, n = 0.6$.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
