Quantum differential forms

Formalism of differential forms is developed for a variety of Quantum and noncommutative situations

On the lifting of the Nagata automorphism

It is proved that the Nagata automorphism (Nagata coordinates, respectively) of the polynomial algebra $F[x,y,z]$ over a field $F$ cannot be lifted to a $z$-automorphism ($z$-coordinate, respectively) of the free associative algebra $K$. The proof is based on the following two new results which have their own interests: degree estimate of ${Q*_FF}$ and tameness of the automorphism group ${\text{Aut}_Q(Q*_FF)}$.Comment: 15 page

Degenerations of ideal hyperbolic triangulations

Let M be a cusped 3-manifold, and let T be an ideal triangulation of M. The deformation variety D(T), a subset of which parameterises (incomplete) hyperbolic structures obtained on M using T, is defined and compactified by adding certain projective classes of transversely measured singular codimension-one foliations of M. This leads to a combinatorial and geometric variant of well-known constructions by Culler, Morgan and Shalen concerning the character variety of a 3-manifold.Comment: 31 pages, 11 figures; minor changes; to appear in Mathematische Zeitschrif

Experimental study of weak antilocalization effect in a high mobility InGaAs/InP quantum well

The magnetoresistance associated with quantum interference corrections in a high mobility, gated InGaAs/InP quantum well structure is studied as a function of temperature, gate voltage, and angle of the tilted magnetic field. Particular attention is paid to the experimental extraction of phase-breaking and spin-orbit scattering times when weak anti- localization effects are prominent. Compared with metals and low mobility semiconductors the characteristic magnetic field $B_{tr} = \hbar/4eD \tau$ in high mobility samples is very small and the experimental dependencies of the interference effects extend to fields several hundreds of times larger. Fitting experimental results under these conditions therefore requires theories valid for arbitrary magnetic field. It was found, however, that such a theory was unable to fit the experimental data without introducing an extra, empirical, scale factor of about 2. Measurements in tilted magnetic fields and as a function of temperature established that both the weak localization and the weak anti-localization effects have the same, orbital origin. Fits to the data confirmed that the width of the low field feature, whether a weak localization or a weak anti-localization peak, is determined by the phase-breaking time and also established that the universal (negative) magnetoresistance observed in the high field limit is associated with a temperature independent spin-orbit scattering time.Comment: 13 pages including 10 figure

Representation theory of super Yang-Mills algebras

We study in this article the representation theory of a family of super algebras, called the \emph{super Yang-Mills algebras}, by exploiting the Kirillov orbit method \textit{\`a la Dixmier} for nilpotent super Lie algebras. These super algebras are a generalization of the so-called \emph{Yang-Mills algebras}, introduced by A. Connes and M. Dubois-Violette in \cite{CD02}, but in fact they appear as a "background independent" formulation of supersymmetric gauge theory considered in physics, in a similar way as Yang-Mills algebras do the same for the usual gauge theory. Our main result states that, under certain hypotheses, all Clifford-Weyl super algebras \Cliff_{q}(k) \otimes A_{p}(k), for $p \geq 3$, or $p = 2$ and $q \geq 2$, appear as a quotient of all super Yang-Mills algebras, for $n \geq 3$ and $s \geq 1$. This provides thus a family of representations of the super Yang-Mills algebras

Does theory of quantum correction to conductivity agree with experimental data in 2D systems?

The quantum correction to the conductivity have been studied in two types of 2D heterostructures: with doped quantum well and doped barriers. The consistent analysis shows that in the structures where electrons occupy the states in quantum well only, all the temperature and magnetic field dependencies of the components of resistivity tensor are well described by the theories of quantum corrections. The contribution of electron-electron interaction to the conductivity have been determined reliably in the structures with different electron density. A possible reason of large scatter in experimental data concerning the contribution of electron-electron interaction, obtained in previous papers, and the role of the carriers, occupied the states of the doped layers, is discussed.Comment: 10 pages with 9 figure

Constructions of free commutative integro-differential algebras

In this survey, we outline two recent constructions of free commutative integro-differential algebras. They are based on the construction of free commutative Rota-Baxter algebras by mixable shuffles. The first is by evaluations. The second is by the method of Gr\"obner-Shirshov bases.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1302.004

A Review of Magnetic Phenomena in Probe-Brane Holographic Matter

Gauge/gravity duality is a useful and efficient tool for addressing and studying questions related to strongly interacting systems described by a gauge theory. In this manuscript we will review a number of interesting phenomena that occur in such systems when a background magnetic field is turned on. Specifically, we will discuss holographic models for systems that include matter fields in the fundamental representation of the gauge group, which are incorporated by adding probe branes into the gravitational background dual to the gauge theory. We include three models in this review: the D3-D7 and D4-D8 models, that describe four-dimensional systems, and the D3-D7' model, that describes three-dimensional fermions interacting with a four-dimensional gauge field.Comment: 35 pages, 27 figures, to appear in Lect.

Nonstable K-Theory for graph algebras

We compute the monoid V (LK(E)) of isomorphism classes of finitely generated projective modules over certain graph algebras LK(E), and we show that this monoid satisfies the refinement property and separative cancellation. We also show that there is a natural isomorphism between the lattice of graded ideals of LK(E) and the lattice of order-ideals of V (LK(E)). When K is the field C of complex numbers, the algebra LC(E) is a dense subalgebra of the graph C -algebra C (E), and we show that the inclusion map induces an isomorphism between the corresponding monoids. As a consequence, the graph C*-algebra of any row-finite graph turns out to satisfy the stable weak cancellation propert
