Coxeter group actions on Saalschützian F34(1) series and very-well-poised F67(1) series
AbstractIn this paper we consider a function L(x→)=L(a,b,c,d;e;f,g), which can be written as a linear combination of two Saalschützian F34(1) hypergeometric series or as a very-well-poised F67(1) hypergeometric series. We explore two-term and three-term relations satisfied by the L function and put them in the framework of group theory. We prove a fundamental two-term relation satisfied by the L function and show that this relation implies that the Coxeter group W(D5), which has 1920 elements, is an invariance group for L(x→). The invariance relations for L(x→) are given two classifications based on two double coset decompositions of the invariance group. The fundamental two-term relation is shown to generalize classical results about hypergeometric series. We derive Thomaeʼs identity for F23(1) series, Baileyʼs identity for terminating Saalschützian F34(1) series, and Barnesʼ second lemma as consequences. We further explore three-term relations satisfied by L(a,b,c,d;e;f,g). The group that governs the three-term relations is shown to be isomorphic to the Coxeter group W(D6), which has 23 040 elements. Based on the right cosets of W(D5) in W(D6), we demonstrate the existence of 220 three-term relations satisfied by the L function that fall into two families according to the notion of L-coherence. The complexity of the coefficients in front of the L functions in the three-term relations is studied and is shown to also depend on L-coherence

Critical current anisotropy in Nd-1111 single crystals and the infuence of neutron irradiation
We report on angle-resolved magnetization measurements on
NdFeAsOF (Nd-1111) single crystals. The field dependence of
the critical current density, , is non-monotonous in these crystals at all
orientations and temperatures due to the fishtail effect, which strongly
influences the angular dependence of . The currents decrease as the field
is tilted from the crystallographic c-axis at low fields, but increase at high
fields. A peak occurs in the angular dependence of at intermediate
fields. The critical currents are significantly enhanced after irradiation with
fast neutrons and the fishtail disappears. The different current anisotropies
at low and high fields, however, persist. We discuss the data in the framework
of the anisotropic scaling approach and propose a transition from dominant
pinning by large defects of low density at low fields to pinning by small
defects of high density at high fields in the pristine crystal. Strong pinning
dominates at all fields after the irradiation, and the angular dependence of
can be described by anisotropic scaling only after an appropriate
extension to this pinning regime
