A comparative study of austenitic structure in NiTi and Fe based shape memory alloys after severe plastic deformation

The effect of high speed high pressure torsion (HS-HPT) was studied in NiTi and FeMnSiCr SMAs, by comparison. Severe plastic deformation was performed in austenite state for both types of alloys. The alloys subjected to HS-HPT, reduced their grain size due to microstructure fragmentation by compression and torsion. The active elements were achieved being able to support variable ranges of processing parameters like force, pressure, rotation speed and time of torsion. The evolution of microstructural refinement in the samples subjected to different deformation by HS-HPT, were studied by optical and scanning electron microscopy observation and the thermal effect was reveled using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Random tensor models in the large N limit: Uncoloring the colored tensor models

Tensor models generalize random matrix models in yielding a theory of dynamical triangulations in arbitrary dimensions. Colored tensor models have been shown to admit a 1/N expansion and a continuum limit accessible analytically. In this paper we prove that these results extend to the most general tensor model for a single generic, i.e. non-symmetric, complex tensor. Colors appear in this setting as a canonical book-keeping device and not as a fundamental feature. In the large N limit, we exhibit a set of Virasoro constraints satisfied by the free energy and an infinite family of multicritical behaviors with entropy exponents \gamma_m=1-1/m.Comment: 15 page

The 1/N expansion of colored tensor models

In this paper we perform the 1/N expansion of the colored three dimensional Boulatov tensor model. As in matrix models, we obtain a systematic topological expansion, with more and more complicated topologies suppressed by higher and higher powers of N. We compute the first orders of the expansion and prove that only graphs corresponding to three spheres S^3 contribute to the leading order in the large N limit.Comment: typos corrected, references update

Topological Graph Polynomials in Colored Group Field Theory

In this paper we analyze the open Feynman graphs of the Colored Group Field Theory introduced in [arXiv:0907.2582]. We define the boundary graph \cG_{\partial} of an open graph \cG and prove it is a cellular complex. Using this structure we generalize the topological (Bollobas-Riordan) Tutte polynomials associated to (ribbon) graphs to topological polynomials adapted to Colored Group Field Theory graphs in arbitrary dimension

The complete 1/N expansion of colored tensor models in arbitrary dimension

Exorcizing the Landau Ghost in Non Commutative Quantum Field Theory

We show that the simplest non commutative renormalizable field theory, the $\phi^4$ model on four dimensional Moyal space with harmonic potential is asymptotically safe to all orders in perturbation theor

Group field theory renormalization - the 3d case: power counting of divergences

We take the first steps in a systematic study of Group Field Theory renormalization, focusing on the Boulatov model for 3D quantum gravity. We define an algorithm for constructing the 2D triangulations that characterize the boundary of the 3D bubbles, where divergences are located, of an arbitrary 3D GFT Feynman diagram. We then identify a special class of graphs for which a complete contraction procedure is possible, and prove, for these, a complete power counting. These results represent important progress towards understanding the origin of the continuum and manifold-like appearance of quantum spacetime at low energies, and of its topology, in a GFT framework
