Doping dependence of magnetic excitations of 1D cuprates as probed by Resonant Inelastic x-ray Scattering
We study the dynamical, momentum dependent two- and four-spin response
functions in doped and undoped 1D cuprates, as probed by resonant inelastic
x-ray scattering, using an exact numerical diagonalization procedure. In the
undoped system the four-spin response vanishes at , whereas the
two-spin correlator is peaked around , with generally larger spectral
weight. Upon doping spectra tend to soften and broaden, with a transfer of
spectral weight towards higher energy. However, the total spectral weight and
average peak position of either response are only weakly affected by doping up
to a concentration of 1/8. Only the two-spin response at changes
strongly, with a large reduction of spectral weight and enhancement of
excitation energy. At other momenta the higher-energy, generic features of the
magnetic response are robust against doping. It signals the presence of strong
short-range antiferromagnetic correlations, even after doping mobile holes into
the system. We expect this to hold also in higher dimensions.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
Electronic Correlations in Oligo-acene and -thiophene Organic Molecular Crystals
From first principles calculations we determine the Coulomb interaction
between two holes on oligo-acene and -thiophene molecules in a crystal, as a
function of the oligomer length. The relaxation of the molecular geometry in
the presence of holes is found to be small. In contrast, the electronic
polarization of the molecules that surround the charged oligomer, reduces the
bare Coulomb repulsion between the holes by approximately a factor of two. In
all cases the effective hole-hole repulsion is much larger than the calculated
valence bandwidth, which implies that at high doping levels the properties of
these organic semiconductors are determined by electron-electron correlations.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
The BLG Theory in Light-Cone Superspace
The light-cone superspace version of the d=3, N=8 superconformal theory of
Bagger, Lambert and Gustavsson (BLG) is obtained as a solution to constraints
imposed by OSp(2,2|8) superalgebra. The Hamiltonian of the theory is shown to
be a quadratic form of the dynamical supersymmetry transformation.Comment: 45 pages, v2: reference added, minor typos corrected, published

Orbital order in classical models of transition-metal compounds
We study the classical 120-degree and related orbital models. These are the
classical limits of quantum models which describe the interactions among
orbitals of transition-metal compounds. We demonstrate that at low temperatures
these models exhibit a long-range order which arises via an "order by disorder"
mechanism. This strongly indicates that there is orbital ordering in the
quantum version of these models, notwithstanding recent rigorous results on the
absence of spin order in these systems.Comment: 7 pages, 1 eps fi
Generalized rotational hamiltonians from nonlinear angular momentum algebras
Higgs algebras are used to construct rotational Hamiltonians. The
correspondence between the spectrum of a triaxial rotor and the spectrum of a
cubic Higgs algebra is demonstrated. It is shown that a suitable choice of the
parameters of the polynomial algebra allows for a precise identification of
rotational properties. The harmonic limit is obtained by a contraction of the
algebra, leading to a linear symmetry.Comment: 3 figures, 6 pages, 15 references. Phys. Rev. C (in press, ms

Dipole Oscillations in Bose - Fermi Mixture in the Time-Dependent Grosspitaevskii and Vlasov equations
We study the dipole collective oscillations in the bose-fermi mixture using a
dynamical time-dependent approach, which are formulated with the time-dependent
Gross-Pitaevskii equation and the Vlasov equation. We find big difference in
behaviors of fermion oscillation between the time-dependent approach and usual
approaches such as the random-phase approximation and the sum-rule approach.
While the bose gas oscillates monotonously, the fermion oscillation shows a
beat and a damping. When the amplitude is not minimal, the dipole oscillation
of the fermi gas cannot be described with a simple center-of-mass motion.Comment: 17 pages text, and 15 figure
Soft triaxial roto-vibrational motion in the vicinity of
A solution of the Bohr collective hamiltonian for the soft,
soft triaxial rotor with is presented making use
of a harmonic potential in and Coulomb-like and Kratzer-like
potentials in . It is shown that, while the angular part in the
present case gives rise to a straightforward extension of the rigid triaxial
rotor energy in which an additive harmonic term appears, the inclusion of the
part results instead in a non-trivial expression for the spectrum. The
negative anharmonicities of the energy levels with respect to a simple rigid
model are in qualitative agreement with general trends in the experimental
data.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, accepted in Phys.Rev.
Generalization of a result of Matsuo and Cherednik to the Calogero-Sutherland- Moser integrable models with exchange terms
A few years ago, Matsuo and Cherednik proved that from some solutions of the
Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) equations, which first appeared in conformal field
theory, one can obtain wave functions for the Calogero integrable system. In
the present communication, it is shown that from some solutions of generalized
KZ equations, one can construct wave functions, characterized by any given
permutational symmetry, for some Calogero-Sutherland-Moser integrable models
with exchange terms. Such models include the spin generalizations of the
original Calogero and Sutherland ones, as well as that with -function
interaction.Comment: Latex, 7 pages, Communication at the 4th Colloquium "Quantum Groups

The Minimal Model for Dark Matter and Unification
Gauge coupling unification and the success of TeV-scale weakly interacting
dark matter are usually taken as evidence of low energy supersymmetry (SUSY).
However, if we assume that the tuning of the higgs can be explained in some
unnatural way, from environmental considerations for example, SUSY is no longer
a necessary component of any Beyond the Standard Model theory. In this paper we
study the minimal model with a dark matter candidate and gauge coupling
unification. This consists of the SM plus fermions with the quantum numbers of
SUSY higgsinos, and a singlet. It predicts thermal dark matter with a mass that
can range from 100 GeV to around 2 TeV and generically gives rise to an
electric dipole moment that is just beyond current experimental limits, with a
large portion of its allowed parameter space accessible to next generation EDM
and direct detection experiments. We study precision unification in this model
by embedding it in a 5-D orbifold GUT where certain large threshold corrections
are calculable, achieving gauge coupling and b-tau unification, and predicting
a rate of proton decay just beyond current limits.Comment: 20 pages, 10 figures. v2: Minor typos and Reference errors corrected.

Orbital excitations in LaMnO
We study the recently observed orbital excitations, orbitons, and treat
electron-electron correlations and lattice dynamics on equal footing. It is
shown that the orbiton energy and dispersion are determined by both
correlations and lattice-vibrations. The electron-phonon coupling causes
satellite structures in the orbiton spectral function and the elementary
excitations of the system are mixed modes with both orbital and phonon
character. It is proposed that the satellite structures observed in recent
Raman-scattering experiments on LaMnO are actually orbiton derived
satellites in the phonon spectral function, caused by the phonon-orbiton
interaction.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures embedde
