    Radio Frequency Response of the Strongly Interacting Fermi Gases at Finite Temperatures

    The radio frequency spectrum of the fermions in the unitary limit at finite temperatures is characterized by the sum rule relations. We consider a simple picture where the atoms are removed by radio frequency excitations from the strongly interacting states into a state of negligible interaction. We calculate the moments of the response function in the range of temperature 0.08ϵF<T<0.8ϵF0.08 \epsilon_F < T < 0.8 \epsilon_F using auxiliary field Monte Carlo technique (AFMC) in which continuum auxiliary fields with a density dependent shift are used. We estimate the effects of superfluid pairing from the clock shift. We find a qualitative agreement with the pairing gap - pseudogap transition behavior. We also find within the quasiparticle picture that in order for the gap to come into quantitative agreement with the previously known value at T=0, the effective mass has to be m∗∼1.43mm^* \sim 1.43 m. Finally, we discuss implications for the adiabatic sweep of the resonant magnetic field.Comment: 2 figure

    Unsupervised Learning of Complex Articulated Kinematic Structures combining Motion and Skeleton Information

    In this paper we present a novel framework for unsupervised kinematic structure learning of complex articulated objects from a single-view image sequence. In contrast to prior motion information based methods, which estimate relatively simple articulations, our method can generate arbitrarily complex kinematic structures with skeletal topology by a successive iterative merge process. The iterative merge process is guided by a skeleton distance function which is generated from a novel object boundary generation method from sparse points. Our main contributions can be summarised as follows: (i) Unsupervised complex articulated kinematic structure learning by combining motion and skeleton information. (ii) Iterative fine-to-coarse merging strategy for adaptive motion segmentation and structure smoothing. (iii) Skeleton estimation from sparse feature points. (iv) A new highly articulated object dataset containing multi-stage complexity with ground truth. Our experiments show that the proposed method out-performs state-of-the-art methods both quantitatively and qualitatively
