    Bounds on topological Abelian string-vortex and string-cigar from information-entropic measure

    In this work we obtain bounds on the topological Abelian string-vortex and on the string-cigar, by using a new measure of configurational complexity, known as configurational entropy. In this way, the information-theoretical measure of six-dimensional braneworlds scenarios are capable to probe situations where the parameters responsible for the brane thickness are arbitrary. The so-called configurational entropy (CE) selects the best value of the parameter in the model. This is accomplished by minimizing the CE, namely, by selecting the most appropriate parameters in the model that correspond to the most organized system, based upon the Shannon information theory. This information-theoretical measure of complexity provides a complementary perspective to situations where strictly energy-based arguments are inconclusive. We show that the higher the energy the higher the CE, what shows an important correlation between the energy of the a localized field configuration and its associated entropic measure.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures, final version to appear in Phys.

    Remarkable magnetostructural coupling around the magnetic transition in CeCo0.85_{0.85}Fe0.15_{0.15}Si

    We report a detailed study of the magnetic properties of CeCo0.85_{0.85}Fe0.15_{0.15}Si under high magnetic fields (up to 16 Tesla) measuring different physical properties such as specific heat, magnetization, electrical resistivity, thermal expansion and magnetostriction. CeCo0.85_{0.85}Fe0.15_{0.15}Si becomes antiferromagnetic at TN≈T_N \approx 6.7 K. However, a broad tail (onset at TX≈T_X \approx 13 K) in the specific heat precedes that second order transition. This tail is also observed in the temperature derivative of the resistivity. However, it is particularly noticeable in the thermal expansion coefficient where it takes the form of a large bump centered at TXT_X. A high magnetic field practically washes out that tail in the resistivity. But surprisingly, the bump in the thermal expansion becomes a well pronounced peak fully split from the magnetic transition at TNT_N. Concurrently, the magnetoresistance also switches from negative to positive just below TXT_X. The magnetostriction is considerable and irreversible at low temperature (ΔLL(16T)∼\frac {\Delta L}{L} \left(16 T\right) \sim 4×\times10−4^{-4} at 2 K) when the magnetic interactions dominate. A broad jump in the field dependence of the magnetostriction observed at low TT may be the signature of a weak ongoing metamagnetic transition. Taking altogether, the results indicate the importance of the lattice effects in the development of the magnetic order in these alloys.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure

    Asymptotic Bethe equations for open boundaries in planar AdS/CFT

    Get PDF
    We solve, by means of a nested coordinate Bethe ansatz, the open-boundaries scattering theory describing the excitations of a free open string propagating in AdS5×S5AdS_5\times S^5, carrying large angular momentum J=J56J=J_{56}, and ending on a maximal giant graviton whose angular momentum is in the same plane. We thus obtain the all-loop Bethe equations describing the spectrum, for JJ finite but large, of the energies of such strings, or equivalently, on the gauge side of the AdS/CFT correspondence, the anomalous dimensions of certain operators built using the epsilon tensor of SU(N). We also give the Bethe equations for strings ending on a probe D7-brane, corresponding to meson-like operators in an N=2\mathcal N=2 gauge theory with fundamental matter.Comment: 30 pages. v2: minor changes and discussion section added, J.Phys.A version

    Two-phase free boundary problems for a class of fully nonlinear double-divergence systems

    Full text link
    In this article, we study a class of fully nonlinear double-divergence systems with free boundaries associated with a minimization problem. The variational structure of Hessian-dependent functional plays a fundamental role in proving the existence of the minimizers and then the existence of the solutions for the system. In addition, we establish gains of the integrability for the double-divergence equation. Consequently, we improve the regularity for the fully nonlinear equation in Sobolev and H\"older spaces.Comment: 17 pages, 1 figur
