    Multiscale Adaptive Representation of Signals: I. The Basic Framework

    Full text link
    We introduce a framework for designing multi-scale, adaptive, shift-invariant frames and bi-frames for representing signals. The new framework, called AdaFrame, improves over dictionary learning-based techniques in terms of computational efficiency at inference time. It improves classical multi-scale basis such as wavelet frames in terms of coding efficiency. It provides an attractive alternative to dictionary learning-based techniques for low level signal processing tasks, such as compression and denoising, as well as high level tasks, such as feature extraction for object recognition. Connections with deep convolutional networks are also discussed. In particular, the proposed framework reveals a drawback in the commonly used approach for visualizing the activations of the intermediate layers in convolutional networks, and suggests a natural alternative

    Duality picture between antiferromagnetism and d-wave superconductivity in t-J model at two dimensions

    Full text link
    We show in this paper an interesting relation between elementary and topological excitations in the antiferromagnetic and d-wave superconducting phases of the t-J model at two dimenions. The topological spin and charge excitations in one phase have the same dynamics as elementary excitations in the other phase, except the appearance of energy gaps. Moreover, the transition from one phase to another can be described as a quantum disordering transition associated with the topological excitations. Based on the above picture, a plausible phase diagram of t-J model is constructed.Comment: 28 pages, 3 figure

    Half-Skyrmions and Spike-Vortex Solutions of Two-Component Nonlinear Schrodinger Systems

    Full text link
    Recently, skyrmions with integer topological charges have been observed numerically but have not yet been shown rigorously on two-component systems of nonlinear Schrodinger equations (NLSE) describing a binary mixture of Bose-Einstein condensates. Besides, half-skyrmions characterized by half-integer topological charges can also be found in the nonlinear sigma model which is a model of the Bose-Einstein condensate of the Schwinger bosons. Here we prove rigorously the existence of half-skyrmions which may come from a new type of soliton solutions called spike-vortex solutions of two-component systems of NLSE on the entire plane. These spike-vortex solutions having spikes in one component and a vortex in the other component may form half-skyrmions. By Liapunov-Schmidt reduction process, we may find spike-vortex solutions of two-component systems of NLSE.Comment: to appear in J.Math.Phy

    Spin Resistivity in the Frustrated J1J2J_1-J_2 Model

    Full text link
    We study in this paper the resistivity encountered by Ising itinerant spins traveling in the so-called J1J2J_1-J_2 frustrated simple cubic Ising lattice. For the lattice, we take into account the interactions between nearest-neighbors and next-nearest-neighbors, J1J_1 and J2J_2 respectively. Itinerant spins interact with lattice spins via a distance-dependent interaction. We also take into account an interaction between itinerant spins. The lattice is frustrated in a range of J2J_2 in which we show that it undergoes a very strong first-order transition. Using Monte Carlo simulation, we calculate the resistivity ρ\rho of the itinerant spins and show that the first-order transition of the lattice causes a discontinuity of ρ\rho.Comment: submitted for publicatio
