Cumulant expansion of the periodic Anderson model in infinite dimension
The diagrammatic cumulant expansion for the periodic Anderson model with
infinite Coulomb repulsion () is considered here for an hypercubic
lattice of infinite dimension (). The same type of simplifications
obtained by Metzner for the cumulant expansion of the Hubbard model in the
limit of , are shown to be also valid for the periodic Anderson
model.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figures.ps. To be published in J. Phys. A: Mathematical

Screened Interaction and Self-Energy in an Infinitesimally Polarized Electron Gas via the Kukkonen-Overhauser Method
The screened electron-electron interaction and the
electron self-energy in an infinitesimally polarized electron gas are derived
by extending the approach of Kukkonen and Overhauser. Various quantities in the
expression for are identified in terms of the relevant
response functions of the electron gas. The self-energy is obtained from
by making use of the GW method which in this case
represents a consistent approximation. Contact with previous calculations is
made.Comment: 7 page

Many-body approach to the nonlinear interaction of charged particles with an interacting free electron gas
We report various many-body theoretical approaches to the nonlinear decay
rate and energy loss of charged particles moving in an interacting free
electron gas. These include perturbative formulations of the scattering matrix,
the self-energy, and the induced electron density. Explicit expressions for
these quantities are obtained, with inclusion of exchange and correlation
effects.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures. To appear in Journal of Physics
Atmospheric, Evolutionary, and Spectral Models of the Brown Dwarf Gliese 229 B
Theoretical spectra and evolutionary models that span the giant planet--brown
dwarf continuum have been computed based on the recent discovery of the brown
dwarf, Gliese 229 B. A flux enhancement in the 4--5 micron window is a
universal feature from Jovian planets to brown dwarfs. We confirm the existence
of methane and water in Gl 229 B's spectrum and find its mass to be 30 to 55
Jovian masses. Although these calculations focus on Gliese 229 B, they are also
meant to guide future searches for extra-solar giant planets and brown dwarfs.Comment: 8 pages, plain TeX, plus four postscript figures, gzipped and

On the Radii of Close-in Giant Planets
The recent discovery that the close-in extrasolar giant planet, HD209458b,
transits its star has provided a first-of-its-kind measurement of the planet's
radius and mass. In addition, there is a provocative detection of the light
reflected off of the giant planet, Boo b. Including the effects of
stellar irradiation, we estimate the general behavior of radius/age
trajectories for such planets and interpret the large measured radii of
HD209458b and Boo b in that context. We find that HD209458b must be a
hydrogen-rich gas giant. Furthermore, the large radius of close-in gas giant is
not due to the thermal expansion of its atmosphere, but to the high residual
entropy that remains throughout its bulk by dint of its early proximity to a
luminous primary. The large stellar flux does not inflate the planet, but
retards its otherwise inexorable contraction from a more extended configuration
at birth. This implies either that such a planet was formed near its current
orbital distance or that it migrated in from larger distances (0.5 A.U.),
no later than a few times years of birth.Comment: aasms4 LaTeX, 1 figure, accepted to Ap.J. Letter
Quantum Lifshitz point in the infinite dimensional Hubbard model
We show that the Gutzwiller variational wave function is surprisingly
accurate for the computation of magnetic phase boundaries in the infinite
dimensional Hubbard model. This allows us to substantially extend known phase
diagrams. For both the half-hypercubic and the hypercubic lattice a large part
of the phase diagram is occupied by an incommensurate phase, intermediate
between the ferromagnetic and the paramagnetic phase. In case of the hypercubic
lattice the three phases join at a new quantum Lifshitz point at which the
order parameter is critical and the stiffness vanishes.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
A planar extrapolation of the correlation problem that permits pairing
It was observed previously that an SU(N) extension of the Hubbard model is
dominated, at large N, by planar diagrams in the sense of 't Hooft, but the
possibility of superconducting pairing got lost in this extrapolation. To allow
for this possibility, we replace SU(N) by U(N,q), the unitary group in a vector
space of quaternions. At the level of the free energy, the difference between
the SU(N)and U(N,q) extrapolations appears only to first nonleading order in N.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
