Recursive sampling simulations of 3D gravity coupled to scalar fermions
We study numerically the phase structure of a model of 3D gravity interacting
with scalar fermions. We measure the 3D counterpart of the "string"
susceptibility exponent as a function of the inverse Newton coupling .
We show that there are two phases separated by a critical point around
. The numerical results support the hypothesis that the
phase structures of 3D and 2D simplicial gravity are qualitatively similar, the
inverse Newton coupling in 3D playing the role of the central charge of matter
in 2D.Comment: Latex with 6 figure files, 17 page
N=2 Supersymmetric Model with Dirac-Kahler Fermions from Generalized Gauge Theory in Two Dimensions
We investigate the generalized gauge theory which has been proposed
previously and show that in two dimensions the instanton gauge fixing of the
generalized topological Yang-Mills action leads to a twisted N=2 supersymmetric
action. We have found that the R-symmetry of N=2 supersymmetry can be
identified with the flavour symmetry of Dirac-Kahler fermion formulation. Thus
the procedure of twist allows topological ghost fields to be interpreted as the
Dirac-Kahler matter fermions.Comment: 22 pages, LaTe
Microscopic reversibility of quantum open systems
The transition probability for time-dependent unitary evolution is invariant
under the reversal of protocols just as in the classical Liouvillian dynamics.
In this article, we generalize the expression of microscopic reversibility to
externally perturbed large quantum open systems. The time-dependent external
perturbation acts on the subsystem during a transient duration, and
subsequently the perturbation is switched off so that the total system would
thermalize. We concern with the transition probability for the subsystem
between the initial and final eigenstates of the subsystem. In the course of
time evolution, the energy is irreversibly exchanged between the subsystem and
reservoir. The time reversed probability is given by the reversal of the
protocol and the initial ensemble. Microscopic reversibility equates the time
forward and reversed probabilities, and therefore appears as a thermodynamic
symmetry for open quantum systems.Comment: numerical demonstration is correcte
Note on Dirac--K\"ahler massless fields
We obtain the canonical and symmetrical Belinfante energy-momentum tensors of
Dirac--K\"{a}hler's fields. It is shown that the traces of the energy-momentum
tensors are not equal to zero. We find the canonical and Belinfante dilatation
currents which are not conserved, but a new conserved dilatation current is
obtained. It is pointed out that the conformal symmetry is broken. The
canonical quantization is performed and the propagator of the massless fields
in the first-order formalism is found.Comment: 16 pages, minor corrections in the text, published versio
Reversible Metal-Semiconductor Transition of ssDNA-Decorated Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
A field effect transistor (FET) measurement of a SWNT shows a transition from
a metallic one to a p-type semiconductor after helical wrapping of DNA. Water
is found to be critical to activate this metal-semiconductor transition in the
SWNT-ssDNA hybrid. Raman spectroscopy confirms the same change in electrical
behavior. According to our ab initio calculations, a band gap can open up in a
metallic SWNT with wrapped ssDNA in the presence of water molecules due to
charge transfer.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figure
Simple algebras of Weyl type
Over a field of any characteristic, for a commutative associative algebra
with an identity element and for the polynomial algebra of a
commutative derivation subalgebra of , the associative and the Lie
algebras of Weyl type on the same vector space are
defined. It is proved that , as a Lie algebra (modular its center) or as
an associative algebra, is simple if and only if is -simple and
acts faithfully on . Thus a lot of simple algebras are obtained.Comment: 9 pages, Late
Substitution Effect by Deuterated Donors on Superconductivity in -(BEDT-TTF)Cu[N(CN)]Br
We investigate the superconductivity in the deuterated BEDT-TTF molecular
substitution system
-[(h8-BEDT-TTF)(d8-BEDT-TTF)]Cu[N(CN)]Br, where h8
and d8 denote fully hydrogenated and deuterated molecules, respectively.
Systematic and wide range ( = 0 -- 1) substitution can control chemical
pressure finely near the Mott boundary, which results in the modification of
the superconductivity. After cooling slowly, the increase of
observed up to 0.1 is evidently caused by the chemical pressure
effect. Neither reduction of nor suppression of
superconducting volume fraction is found below 0.5. This demonstrates
that the effect of disorder by substitution is negligible in the present
system. With further increase of , both and superconducting
volume fraction start to decrease toward the values in = 1.Comment: J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Novel mechanism of photoinduced reversible phase transitions in molecule-based magnets
A novel microscopic mechanism of bi-directional structural changes is
proposed for the photo-induced magnetic phase transition in Co-Fe Prussian blue
analogues on the basis of ab initio quantum chemical cluster calculations. It
is shown that the local potential energies of various spin states of Co are
sensitive to the number of nearest neighbor Fe vacancies. As a result, the
forward and backward structural changes are most readily initiated by
excitation of different local regions by different photons. This mechanism
suggests an effective strategy to realize photoinduced reversible phase
transitions in a general system consisting of two local components.Comment: 4 pages, LaTex, 3 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
Transport criticality of the first-order Mott transition in a quasi-two-dimensional organic conductor, -(BEDT-TTF)Cu[N(CN)]Cl
An organic Mott insulator, -(BEDT-TTF)Cu[N(CN)]Cl, was
investigated by resistance measurements under continuously controllable He gas
pressure. The first-order Mott transition was demonstrated by observation of
clear jump in the resistance variation against pressure. Its critical endpoint
at 38 K is featured by vanishing of the resistive jump and critical divergence
in pressure derivative of resistance, , which are consistent with the prediction of the dynamical mean field
theory and have phenomenological correspondence with the liquid-gas transition.
The present results provide the experimental basis for physics of the Mott
transition criticality.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
