Variational formulas of higher order mean curvatures
In this paper, we establish the first variational formula and its
Euler-Lagrange equation for the total -th mean curvature functional
of a submanifold in a general Riemannian manifold
for . As an example, we prove that closed
complex submanifolds in complex projective spaces are critical points of the
functional , called relatively -minimal submanifolds,
for all . At last, we discuss the relations between relatively -minimal
submanifolds and austere submanifolds in real space forms, as well as a special
variational problem.Comment: 13 pages, to appear in SCIENCE CHINA Mathematics 201
Novel annular flow electromagnetic measurement system for drilling engineering
Downhole micro-flux control drilling technology can effectively solve drilling accidents, such as kick and loss in narrow density window drilling scenarios. Using a downhole annular flow measurement system to obtain real-time information of downhole annular flow is the core and foundation of downhole micro-flux control drilling technology. The research work of electromagnetic flowmeters in recent years creates a challenge for downhole annular flow measurement. This paper proposes a new method for an annular flow measurement system based on the electromagnetic induction principle. First, the annular flow measuring principle, the weight function, the density of virtual current, and the magnetic field of the annular flow electromagnetic measurement system are described. Second, the basic design of the annular flow electromagnetic measurement system is described. Third, model simulation and dynamic experiments on an annular flow electromagnetic measurement system are carried out. The simulation and experimental results show a linear relationship between the system output and the annular flow rate, and also verify the correctness of annular flow electromagnetic measurement theory
Anisotropic but nodeless superconducting gap in the presence of spin density wave in iron-pnictide superconductor NaFe1-xCoxAs
The coexisting regime of spin density wave (SDW) and superconductivity in the
iron pnictides represents a novel ground state. We have performed high
resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements on NaFe1-xCoxAs (x =
0.0175) in this regime and revealed its distinctive electronic structure, which
provides some microscopic understandings of its behavior. The SDW signature and
the superconducting gap are observed on the same bands, illustrating the
intrinsic nature of the coexistence. However, because the SDW and
superconductivity are manifested in different parts of the band structure,
their competition is non-exclusive. Particularly, we found that the gap
distribution is anisotropic and nodeless, in contrast to the isotropic
superconducting gap observed in an SDW-free NaFe1-xCoxAs (x=0.045), which puts
strong constraints on theory.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures + supplementary informatio
