    The fermionic oscillator defined by the algebraic relations cc^*+c^*c=1 and c^{2}=0 admits the homogeneous group O(2) as its invariance group. We show that, the structure of the inhomogeneous invariance group of this oscillator is a quantum group.Comment: 7 A4 page

    Evaluation of management strategies for the operation of high-speed railways in China

    Get PDF
    High-Speed Train (HST) operations have recently been introduced in rail passenger transportation markets worldwide. Although the technologies for such operations have levelled at speeds of around 300 km/h, the operating parameters to be adopted in each application will differ from country to country. The operating environment will be one of the crucial success factors for the implementation of HST operations in China. This paper compares three different management/ownership models which might be used in China. The paper analyzes the characteristics of each model and proposes an optimal plan of an operational system to develop HST operations in China by using a hierarchy goals achievement matrix approach

    Berry phases for composite fermions: effective magnetic field and fractional statistics

    Full text link
    The quantum Hall superfluid is presently the only viable candidate for a realization of quasiparticles with fractional Berry phase statistics. For a simple vortex excitation, relevant for a subset of fractional Hall states considered by Laughlin, non-trivial Berry phase statistics were demonstrated many years ago by Arovas, Schrieffer, and Wilczek. The quasiparticles are in general more complicated, described accurately in terms of excited composite fermions. We use the method developed by Kjonsberg, Myrheim and Leinaas to compute the Berry phase for a single composite-fermion quasiparticle, and find that it agrees with the effective magnetic field concept for composite fermions. We then evaluate the "fractional statistics", related to the change in the Berry phase for a closed loop caused by the insertion of another composite-fermion quasiparticle in the interior. Our results support the general validity of fractional statistics in the quantum Hall superfluid, while also giving a quantitative account of corrections to it when the quasiparticle wave functions overlap. Many caveats, both practical and conceptual, are mentioned that will be relevant to an experimental measurement of the fractional statistics. A short report on some parts of this article has appeared previously.Comment: 14 pages, 9 figure

    Dynamic transition and resonance in current-driven arrays of Josephson junctions

    Full text link
    We consider a two-dimensional fully frustrated Josephson-junction array, which is driven uniformly by oscillating currents. As the temperature is lowered, there emerges a dynamic phase transition to an ordered state with nonzero dynamic order parameter for small currents. The transition temperature decreases monotonically with the driving amplitude, approaching zero at a certain critical value of the amplitude. Above the critical value, the disordered phase and the dynamically ordered phase are observed to appear alternatively. The characteristic stochastic resonance behavior of the system is also examined, which reveals that the resonance behavior of odd and even harmonics can be different according to the zero-temperature state.Comment: To appear in Physical Review

    Fractional statistics in the fractional quantum Hall effect

    Full text link
    A microscopic confirmation of the fractional statistics of the {\em quasiparticles} in the fractional quantum Hall effect has so far been lacking. We calculate the statistics of the composite-fermion quasiparticles at ν=1/3\nu=1/3 and ν=2/5\nu=2/5 by evaluating the Berry phase for a closed loop encircling another composite-fermion quasiparticle. A careful consideration of subtle perturbations in the trajectory due to the presence of an additional quasiparticle is crucial for obtaining the correct value of the statistics. The conditions for the applicability of the fractional statistics concept are discussed.Comment: Phys. Rev. Lett., in pres

    Every district in Riau province has an arts and culture diverse, as well as the Kuantan Singingi regency. Arts and culture in Kuantan Singingi are still implemented and growing routinely in community life. that is the reason of art and culture center is needed. Arts and Culture Center in Kuantan Singingi is an area that aims to facilitate the activities of arts and culture in Kuantan Singingi regency.Traditional Architecture of Kuantan Singingi be applied to the design, then is found the Tungku Tigo Sajorangan concept, which means the three customary elements are interrelated, to be applied in the design. Method of design Arts and Culture Center in Kuantan Singingi designed by transforming traditional architecture of Kuantan Singingi, namely the Rumah Godang Koto, Balai Adat Koto and Mesjid Koto. The elements of design in traditional Architecture includes regional of patterns and shape of the building mass be transformed in accordance with the state of region and traditional buildings in the Koto area. From the process of traditional building transformation, so that can create a region of Art and Culture Center in Kuantan Singingi with Traditional Architecture

    Theory of magnetic field-induced metaelectric critical end point in BiMn2_2O5_5

    Full text link
    A recent experiment on the multiferroic BiMn2_2O5_5 compound under a strong applied magnetic field revealed a rich phase diagram driven by the coupling of magnetic and charge (dipolar) degrees of freedom. Based on the exchange-striction mechanism, we propose here a theoretical model with the intent to capture the interplay of the spin and dipolar moments in the presence of a magnetic field in BiMn2_2O5_5. Experimentally observed behavior of the dielectric constants, magnetic susceptibility, and the polarization is, for the most part, reproduced by our model. The critical behavior observed near the polarization reversal (P=0)(P=0) point in the phase diagram is interpreted as arising from the proximity to the critical end point.Comment: Theory; relevant experiment uploaded as arXiv:0810.190
