A numerical finite size scaling approach to many-body localization
We develop a numerical technique to study Anderson localization in
interacting electronic systems. The ground state of the disordered system is
calculated with quantum Monte-Carlo simulations while the localization
properties are extracted from the ``Thouless conductance'' , i.e. the
curvature of the energy with respect to an Aharonov-Bohm flux. We apply our
method to polarized electrons in a two dimensional system of size . We
recover the well known universal one
parameter scaling function without interaction. Upon switching on the
interaction, we find that is unchanged while the system flows toward
the insulating limit. We conclude that polarized electrons in two dimensions
stay in an insulating state in the presence of weak to moderate
electron-electron correlations.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
A model of gravitation with global U(1)-symmetry
It is shown that an embedding of the general relativity space into a flat
space gives a model of gravitation with the global symmetry and the
discrete one. The last one may be transformed into the symmetry
of the unified model, and the demand of independence of and
transformations leads to the estimate where
is an analog of the Weinberg angle of the standard model.Comment: 7 page
Fractional Supersymmetry and Fth-Roots of Representations
A generalization of super-Lie algebras is presented. It is then shown that
all known examples of fractional supersymmetry can be understood in this
formulation. However, the incorporation of three dimensional fractional
supersymmetry in this framework needs some care. The proposed solutions lead
naturally to a formulation of a fractional supersymmetry starting from any
representation D of any Lie algebra g. This involves taking the Fth-roots of D
in an appropriate sense. A fractional supersymmetry in any space-time dimension
is then possible. This formalism finally leads to an infinite dimensional
extension of g, reducing to the centerless Virasoro algebra when g=sl(2,R).Comment: 23 pages, 1 figure, LaTex file with epsf.st
The energy scale behind the metallic behaviors in low-density Si-MOSFETs
We show that the unexpected metallic behavior (the so-called two-dimensional
metal-insulator transition) observed in low-density Silicon
metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (Si-MOSFETs) is controlled
by a unique characteristic energy scale, the polarization energy. On one hand,
we perform Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the energy needed to polarize
the two dimensional electron gas at zero temperature, taking into account
Coulomb interactions, valley degeneracy and electronic mobility (disorder). On
the other hand, we identify the characteristic energy scale controlling the
physics in eight different sets of experiments. We find that our {\it
ab-initio} polarization energies (obtained without any adjustable parameters)
are in perfect agreement with the observed characteristic energies for all
available data, both for the magnetic field and temperature dependence of the
resistivities. Our results put strong constraints on possible mechanisms
responsible for the metallic behavior. In particular, there are strong
indications that the system would eventually become insulating at low enough
temperature.Comment: two references added, corrected typos, minor changes, final version

Do metals exist in two dimensions? A study of many-body localisation in low density electron gas
Using a combination of ground state quantum Monte-Carlo and finite size
scaling techniques, we perform a systematic study of the effect of Coulomb
interaction on the localisation length of a disordered two-dimensional electron
gas. We find that correlations delocalise the 2D system. In the absence of
valley degeneracy (as in GaAs heterostructures), this delocalization effect
corresponds to a finite increase of the localization length. The delocalisation
is much more dramatic in the presence of valley degeneracy (as in Si MOSFETSs)
where the localization length increases drastically. Our results suggest that a
rather simple mechanism can account for the main features of the metallic
behaviour observed in high mobility Si MOSFETs. Our findings support the claim
that this behaviour is indeed a genuine effect of the presence of
electron-electron interactions, yet that the system is not a ``true'' metal in
the thermodynamic sense.Comment: 5 pages 4 figure
On the Representation Theory of Orthofermions and Orthosupersymmetric Realization of Parasupersymmetry and Fractional Supersymmetry
We construct a canonical irreducible representation for the orthofermion
algebra of arbitrary order, and show that every representation decomposes into
irreducible representations that are isomorphic to either the canonical
representation or the trivial representation. We use these results to show that
every orthosupersymmetric system of order has a parasupersymmetry of order
and a fractional supersymmetry of order .Comment: 13 pages, to appear in J. Phys. A: Math. Ge

On a graded q-differential algebra
Given a unital associatve graded algebra we construct the graded
q-differential algebra by means of a graded q-commutator, where q is a
primitive N-th root of unity. The N-th power (N>1) of the differential of this
graded q-differential algebra is equal to zero. We use our approach to
construct the graded q-differential algebra in the case of a reduced quantum
plane which can be endowed with a structure of a graded algebra. We consider
the differential d satisfying d to power N equals zero as an analog of an
exterior differential and study the first order differential calculus induced
by this differential.Comment: 6 pages, submitted to the Proceedings of the "International
