Ground States in the Spin Boson Model
We prove that the Hamiltonian of the model describing a spin which is
linearly coupled to a field of relativistic and massless bosons, also known as
the spin-boson model, admits a ground state for small values of the coupling
constant lambda. We show that the ground state energy is an analytic function
of lambda and that the corresponding ground state can also be chosen to be an
analytic function of lambda. No infrared regularization is imposed. Our proof
is based on a modified version of the BFS operator theoretic renormalization
analysis. Moreover, using a positivity argument we prove that the ground state
of the spin-boson model is unique. We show that the expansion coefficients of
the ground state and the ground state energy can be calculated using regular
analytic perturbation theory

Froehlich, and Sigal we prove uniqueness of the ground state.Comment: 10 page
Field evolution of the magnetic structures in ErTiO through the critical point
We have measured neutron diffraction patterns in a single crystal sample of
the pyrochlore compound ErTiO in the antiferromagnetic phase
(T=0.3\,K), as a function of the magnetic field, up to 6\,T, applied along the
[110] direction. We determine all the characteristics of the magnetic structure
throughout the quantum critical point at =2\,T. As a main result, all Er
moments align along the field at and their values reach a minimum. Using
a four-sublattice self-consistent calculation, we show that the evolution of
the magnetic structure and the value of the critical field are rather well
reproduced using the same anisotropic exchange tensor as that accounting for
the local paramagnetic susceptibility. In contrast, an isotropic exchange
tensor does not match the moment variations through the critical point. The
model also accounts semi-quantitatively for other experimental data previously
measured, such as the field dependence of the heat capacity, energy of the
dispersionless inelastic modes and transition temperature.Comment: 7 pages; 8 figure
ROLE OF H-2 LYMPHOCYTE-DEFINED AND SEROLOGICALLY-DEFINED COMPONENTS IN THE GENERATION OF CYTOTOXIC LYMPHOCYTES
The cell-mediated lympholytic capability of mouse spleen cells stimulated in mixed lymphocyte culture is determined by lymphocyte-defined (LD) and serologically-defined (SD) antigenic differences present during sensitization. Cells which are activated by LD differences alone are markedly less effective in causing lysis of target cells. This lack of cytotoxicity is shown to be, at least in part, due to the inability of LD differences to allow the efficient generation of cytotoxic lymphocytes. SD antigens not only serve as good targets for CML but are also shown to be important for the generation of cytotoxic lymphocytes during the mixed lymphocyte culture
GENETIC CONTROL OF CELL-MEDIATED LYMPHOLYSIS IN MOUSE
H-2 congenic mouse strains were tested in vitro to investigate the genetic control of cell-mediated lympholysis (CML). Combinations were selected such that differences in various segments of H-2 could be examined for their ability to stimulate production of effector cells and to serve as targets for lysis. Particular emphasis was directed towards understanding the roles of LD and SD. SD-region differences are important in the sensitization of effector cells and they also function as strong targets for lysis, or as markers for the CML targets. LD differences are also important for sensitization of cytotoxic effector cells, but they serve only as very weak targets for lysis. Collaboration occurs between LD and SD in generation of CML. The nature of this interaction can be of two types: together LD and SD can produce CML which neither difference alone can stimulate; LD can enhance a CML response stimulated by SD-region differences alone
Kramers degeneracy theorem in nonrelativistic QED
Degeneracy of the eigenvalues of the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian with spin 1/2 is
proven by the Kramers degeneracy theorem. The Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian at fixed
total momentum is also investigated.Comment: LaTex, 11 page
Ground State and Resonances in the Standard Model of Non-relativistic QED
We prove existence of a ground state and resonances in the standard model of
the non-relativistic quantum electro-dynamics (QED). To this end we introduce a
new canonical transformation of QED Hamiltonians and use the spectral
renormalization group technique with a new choice of Banach spaces.Comment: 50 pages change
Optical conductivity for a dimer in the Dynamic Hubbard model
The Dynamic Hubbard Model represents the physics of a multi-band Hubbard
model by using a pseudo-spin degree of freedom to dynamically modify the
on-site Coulomb interaction. Here we use a dimer system to obtain analytical
results for this model. The spectral function and the optical conductivity are
calculated analytically for any number of electrons, and the distribution of
optical spectral weight is analyzed in great detail. The impact of polaron-like
effects due to overlaps between pseudo-spin states on the optical spectral
weight distribution is derived analytically. Our conclusions support results
obtained previously with different models and techniques: holes are less mobile
than electrons.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure
Improved Lieb-Oxford exchange-correlation inequality with gradient correction
We prove a Lieb-Oxford-type inequality on the indirect part of the Coulomb
energy of a general many-particle quantum state, with a lower constant than the
original statement but involving an additional gradient correction. The result
is similar to a recent inequality of Benguria, Bley and Loss, except that the
correction term is purely local, which is more usual in density functional
theory. In an appendix, we discuss the connection between the indirect energy
and the classical Jellium energy for constant densities. We show that they
differ by an explicit shift due to the long range of the Coulomb potential.Comment: Final version to appear in Physical Review A. Compared to the very
first version, this one contains an appendix discussing the link with the
