Cluster Perturbation Theory for Hubbard models
Cluster perturbation theory is a technique for calculating the spectral
weight of Hubbard models of strongly correlated electrons, which combines exact
diagonalizations on small clusters with strong-coupling perturbation theory at
leading order. It is exact in both the strong- and weak-coupling limits and
provides a good approximation to the spectral function at any wavevector.
Following the paper by S\'en\'echal et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 84}, 522
(2000)), we provide a more complete description and derivation of the method.
We illustrate some of its capabilities, in particular regarding the effect of
doping, the calculation of ground state energy and double occupancy, the
disappearance of the Fermi surface in the Hubbard model, and so on. The
method is applicable to any model with on-site repulsion only.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figures (RevTeX 4

Pairing and Density Correlations of Stripe Electrons in a Two-Dimensional Antiferromagnet
We study a one-dimensional electron liquid embedded in a 2D antiferromagnetic
insulator, and coupled to it via a weak antiferromagnetic spin exchange
interaction. We argue that this model may qualitatively capture the physics of
a single charge stripe in the cuprates on length- and time scales shorter than
those set by its fluctuation dynamics. Using a local mean-field approach we
identify the low-energy effective theory that describes the electronic spin
sector of the stripe as that of a sine-Gordon model. We determine its phases
via a perturbative renormalization group analysis. For realistic values of the
model parameters we obtain a phase characterized by enhanced spin density and
composite charge density wave correlations, coexisting with subleading triplet
and composite singlet pairing correlations. This result is shown to be
independent of the spatial orientation of the stripe on the square lattice.
Slow transverse fluctuations of the stripes tend to suppress the density
correlations, thus promoting the pairing instabilities. The largest amplitudes
for the composite instabilities appear when the stripe forms an antiphase
domain wall in the antiferromagnet. For twisted spin alignments the amplitudes
decrease and leave room for a new type of composite pairing correlation,
breaking parity but preserving time reversal symmetry.Comment: Revtex, 28 pages incl. 5 figure
Partially filled stripes in the two dimensional Hubbard model: statics and dynamics
The internal structure of stripes in the two dimensional Hubbard model is
studied by going beyond the Hartree-Fock approximation. Partially filled
stripes, consistent with experimental observations, are stabilized by quantum
fluctuations, included through the Configuration Interaction method. Hopping of
short regions of the stripes in the transverse direction is comparable to the
bare hopping element. The integrated value of compares well
with experimental results.Comment: 4 page
Stability of metallic stripes in the extended one-band Hubbard model
Based on an unrestricted Gutzwiller approximation (GA) we investigate the
stripe orientation and periodicity in an extended one-band Hubbard model. A
negative ratio between next-nearest and nearest neighbor hopping t'/t, as
appropriate for cuprates, favors partially filled (metallic) stripes for both
vertical and diagonal configurations. At around optimal doping diagonal
stripes, site centered (SC) and bond centered (BC) vertical stripes become
degenerate suggesting strong lateral and orientational fluctuations. We find
that within the GA the resulting phase diagram is in agreement with experiment
whereas it is not in the Hartree-Fock approximation due to a strong
overestimation of the stripe filling. Results are in agreement with previous
calculations within the three-band Hubbard model but with the role of SC and BC
stripes interchanged.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure
Crossovers in Unitary Fermi Systems
Universality and crossover is described for attractive and repulsive
interactions where, respectively, the BCS-BEC crossover takes place and a
ferromagnetic phase transition is claimed. Crossovers are also described for
optical lattices and multicomponent systems. The crossovers, universal
parameters and phase transitions are described within the Leggett and NSR
models and calculated in detail within the Jastrow-Slater approximation. The
physics of ultracold Fermi atoms is applied to neutron, nuclear and quark
matter, nuclei and electrons in solids whenever possible. Specifically, the
differences between optical lattices and cuprates is discussed w.r.t.

Measurement of and charged current inclusive cross sections and their ratio with the T2K off-axis near detector
We report a measurement of cross section and the first measurements of the cross section
and their ratio
at (anti-)neutrino energies below 1.5
GeV. We determine the single momentum bin cross section measurements, averaged
over the T2K -flux, for the detector target material (mainly
Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen and Copper) with phase space restricted laboratory
frame kinematics of 500 MeV/c. The
results are and $\sigma(\nu)=\left( 2.41\

Search for the glueball candidates f0(1500) and fJ(1710) in gamma gamma collisions
Data taken with the ALEPH detector at LEP1 have been used to search for gamma
gamma production of the glueball candidates f0(1500) and fJ(1710) via their
decay to pi+pi-. No signal is observed and upper limits to the product of gamma
gamma width and pi+pi- branching ratio of the f0(1500) and the fJ(1710) have
been measured to be Gamma_(gamma gamma -> f0(1500)). BR(f0(1500)->pi+pi-) <
0.31 keV and Gamma_(gamma gamma -> fJ(1710)). BR(fJ(1710)->pi+pi-) < 0.55 keV
at 95% confidence level.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure
Measurement of the B0-anti-B0-Oscillation Frequency with Inclusive Dilepton Events
The - oscillation frequency has been measured with a sample of
23 million \B\bar B pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II
asymmetric B Factory at SLAC. In this sample, we select events in which both B
mesons decay semileptonically and use the charge of the leptons to identify the
flavor of each B meson. A simultaneous fit to the decay time difference
distributions for opposite- and same-sign dilepton events gives ps.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure, submitted to Physical Review Letter
