Breakdown of the Fermi-liquid regime in the 2D Hubbard model from a two-loop field-theoretical renormalization group approach
We analyze the particle-hole symmetric two-dimensional Hubbard model on a
square lattice starting from weak-to-moderate couplings by means of the
field-theoretical renormalization group (RG) approach up to two-loop order.
This method is essential in order to evaluate the effect of the
momentum-resolved anomalous dimension which arises in the
normal phase of this model on the corresponding low-energy single-particle
excitations. As a result, we find important indications pointing to the
existence of a non-Fermi liquid (NFL) regime at temperature displaying
a truncated Fermi surface (FS) for a doping range exactly in between the
well-known antiferromagnetic insulating and the -wave singlet
superconducting phases. This NFL evolves as a function of doping into a
correlated metal with a large FS before the -wave pairing
susceptibility finally produces the dominant instability in the low-energy
limit.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures; published in Phys. Rev.

Ocorrência, danos e estratégias de manejo de percevejos na cultura da soja.
Em função da ocorrência de elevadas populações de percevejos, a resistência comprovada da praga a inseticidas organofosforados e aplicações indiscriminadas de agrotóxicos que levam ao desequilíbrio, o problema percevejo na cultura da soja tem aumentado a cada safra. Na soja várias espécies compõem o complexo de pentatomídeos sugadores, cuja distribuição varia nas diferentes regiões produtoras, com predomínio acentuado hoje do percevejo marrom, Euschistus heros (F.). Embora estejam presentes nas lavouras desde o período vegetativo, por se alimentarem das vagens sugando diretamente os grãos de soja, é no período reprodutivo que os percevejos causam prejuízos. Portanto, para o melhor manejo desses insetos medidas integradas dentro do sistema produtivo precisam ser adotadas. Com o uso de procedimentos de monitoramento e a utilização de forma correta dos produtos indicados para o controle desses sugadores, considerando os níveis de ação pré-estabelecidos é possível manejá-los de forma eficiente e com sustentabilidade. Segundo o manejo integrado de pragas, o pano-de-batida é o método indicado para o monitoramento dos percevejos e o seu controle, considerando ninfas e adultos, deve ser realizado a partir do início do desenvolvimento de vagens, quando a população atinge os níveis de um ou dois percevejos por metro para lavouras de produção de sementes e grãos, respectivamente. Resultados têm mostrado que mesmo frente às mudanças ocorridas no cenário produtivo da soja destacando o predomínio no uso de cultivares de crescimento indeterminado e precoces, o reduzido número de ingredientes ativos disponíveis e as elevadas densidades populacionais de percevejos presentes na soja, os critérios recomendados pelo MIP-Soja são viáveis. Entretanto, deve-se, cada vez mais, considerar o sistema produtivo de forma integrada, onde o manejo de outras pragas, o desenvolvimento da planta e sua capacidade de tolerar danos e as culturas que antecedem ou são semeadas após a soja assumem fundamental importância
Welfare guarantees for proportional allocations
According to the proportional allocation mechanism from the network
optimization literature, users compete for a divisible resource -- such as
bandwidth -- by submitting bids. The mechanism allocates to each user a
fraction of the resource that is proportional to her bid and collects an amount
equal to her bid as payment. Since users act as utility-maximizers, this
naturally defines a proportional allocation game. Recently, Syrgkanis and
Tardos (STOC 2013) quantified the inefficiency of equilibria in this game with
respect to the social welfare and presented a lower bound of 26.8% on the price
of anarchy over coarse-correlated and Bayes-Nash equilibria in the full and
incomplete information settings, respectively. In this paper, we improve this
bound to 50% over both equilibrium concepts. Our analysis is simpler and,
furthermore, we argue that it cannot be improved by arguments that do not take
the equilibrium structure into account. We also extend it to settings with
budget constraints where we show the first constant bound (between 36% and 50%)
on the price of anarchy of the corresponding game with respect to an effective
welfare benchmark that takes budgets into account.Comment: 15 page
Negative-energy perturbations in cylindrical equilibria with a radial electric field
The impact of an equilibrium radial electric field on negative-energy
perturbations (NEPs) (which are potentially dangerous because they can lead to
either linear or nonlinear explosive instabilities) in cylindrical equilibria
of magnetically confined plasmas is investigated within the framework of
Maxwell-drift kinetic theory. It turns out that for wave vectors with a
non-vanishing component parallel to the magnetic field the conditions for the
existence of NEPs in equilibria with E=0 [G. N. Throumoulopoulos and D.
Pfirsch, Phys. Rev. E 53, 2767 (1996)] remain valid, while the condition for
the existence of perpendicular NEPs, which are found to be the most important
perturbations, is modified. For ( is the
electrostatic potential) and ( is
the total plasma pressure), a case which is of operational interest in magnetic
confinement systems, the existence of perpendicular NEPs depends on ,
where is the charge of the particle species . In this case the
electric field can reduce the NEPs activity in the edge region of tokamaklike
and stellaratorlike equilibria with identical parabolic pressure profiles, the
reduction of electron NEPs being more pronounced than that of ion NEPs.Comment: 30 pages, late
Twist Deformations of the Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics
The N-extended Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics is deformed via an abelian
twist which preserves the super-Hopf algebra structure of its Universal
Enveloping Superalgebra. Two constructions are possible. For even N one can
identify the 1D N-extended superalgebra with the fermionic Heisenberg algebra.
Alternatively, supersymmetry generators can be realized as operators belonging
to the Universal Enveloping Superalgebra of one bosonic and several fermionic
oscillators. The deformed system is described in terms of twisted operators
satisfying twist-deformed (anti)commutators. The main differences between an
abelian twist defined in terms of fermionic operators and an abelian twist
defined in terms of bosonic operators are discussed.Comment: 18 pages; two references adde
