Ab initio investigation of intermolecular interactions in solid benzene
A computational strategy for the evaluation of the crystal lattice constants
and cohesive energy of the weakly bound molecular solids is proposed. The
strategy is based on the high level ab initio coupled-cluster determination of
the pairwise additive contribution to the interaction energy. The
zero-point-energy correction and non-additive contributions to the interaction
energy are treated using density functional methods. The experimental crystal
lattice constants of the solid benzene are reproduced, and the value of 480
meV/molecule is calculated for its cohesive energy
Three-point functions of conserved currents in 3D CFT: general formalism for arbitrary spins
We analyse the general structure of the three-point functions involving
conserved bosonic and fermionic higher-spin currents in three-dimensional
conformal field theory. Using the constraints of conformal symmetry and
conservation equations, we use a computational formalism to analyse the general
structure of , where
, and are conserved currents with
spins , and respectively (integer or half-integer). The
calculations are completely automated for any chosen spins and are limited only
by computer power. We find that the correlation function is in general fixed up
to two independent even structures, and one odd structure, subject to a set of
triangle inequalities. We also analyse the structure of three-point functions
involving higher-spin currents and fundamental scalars and spinors.Comment: 56 pages; v2: minor edits, references adde
Three-point functions of conserved currents in 4D CFT: general formalism for arbitrary spins
We analyse the general structure of the three-point functions involving
conserved higher-spin currents
belonging to any Lorentz representation in four-dimensional conformal field
theory. Using the constraints of conformal symmetry and conservation equations,
we computationally analyse the general structure of three-point functions
for arbitrary spins and
propose a classification of the results. For bosonic vector-like currents with
, it is known that the number of independent conserved structures is . For the three-point functions of conserved currents with
arbitrarily many dotted and undotted indices, we show that in many cases the
number of structures deviates from .Comment: 40 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2210.1313
Three-point functions of conserved supercurrents in 3D SCFT: general formalism for arbitrary superspins
We analyse the general structure of the three-point functions of conserved
higher-spin supercurrents in 3D, superconformal field theory.
It is shown that supersymmetry imposes additional restrictions on correlation
functions of conserved higher-spin currents. We develop a manifestly
supersymmetric formalism to compute the three-point function , where
, and are
conserved higher-spin supercurrents with superspins , and
respectively (integer or half-integer). Using a computational approach
limited only by computer power, we analytically impose the constraints arising
from the superfield conservation equations and symmetries under permutations of
superspace points. Explicit solutions for three-point functions are presented
and we provide a complete classification of the results for ;
the pattern is very clear, and we propose that our classification holds for
arbitrary superspins. We demonstrate that Grassmann-even three-point functions
are fixed up to one parity-even structure and one parity-odd structure, while
Grassmann-odd three-point functions are fixed up to a single parity-even
structure. The existence of the parity-odd structure in the Grassmann-even
correlation functions is subject to a set of triangle inequalities in the
superspins. For completeness, we also analyse the structure of three-point
functions involving conserved higher-spin supercurrents and scalar superfields.Comment: 54 pages; v2: minor corrections, references added. arXiv admin note:

Grassmann-odd three-point functions of conserved supercurrents in 3D SCFT
We consider the analytic construction of three-point functions of conserved
higher-spin supercurrents in three-dimensional superconformal
field theory which are Grassmann-odd in superspace. In particular, these
include the three-point functions of the supercurrent and flavour currents,
which contain the three-point functions of the energy-momentum tensor and
conserved vector currents at the component level. We present an analytic proof
for arbitrary superspins that these correlators do not possess a
parity-violating contribution. We also prove that the parity-even contribution
is unique, and exists (under an assumption that is well supported by the
computational approach of arXiv:2302.00593) for arbitrary superspins. The
construction of the parity-even sector is shown to reduce to solving a system
of linear homogeneous equations with a tri-diagonal matrix of co-rank one,
which we solve explicitly for arbitrary superspins.Comment: 33 page
Time-dependent density functional theory calculation of van der Waals coefficient of sodium clusters
In this paper we employ all-electron \textit{ab-initio} time-dependent
density functional theory based method to calculate the long range
dipole-dipole dispersion coefficient (van der Waals coefficient) of
sodium atom clusters containing even number of atoms ranging from 2 to 20
atoms. The dispersion coefficients are obtained via Casimir-Polder relation.
The calculations are carried out with two different exchange-correlation
potentials: (i) the asymptotically correct statistical average of orbital
potential (SAOP) and (ii) Vosko-Wilk-Nusair representation of
exchange-correlation potential within local density approximation. A comparison
with the other theoretical results has been performed. We also present the
results for the static polarizabilities of sodium clusters and also compare
them with other theoretical and experimental results. These comparisons reveal
that the SAOP results for C_{6} and static polarizability are quite accurate
and very close to the experimental results. We examine the relationship between
volume of the cluster and van der Waals coefficient and find that to a very
high degree of correlation C_{6} scales as square of the volume. We also
present the results for van der Waals coefficient corresponding to cluster-Ar
atom and cluster-N_{2} molecule interactions.Comment: 22 pages including 6 figures. To be published in Journal of Chemical

Are There Any Type 2 QSOs? The Case of AXJ0341.4-4453
The X-ray source AXJ0341.4-4453 was described by Boyle et al. as a Type 2 AGN
at z = 0.672 based on the absence of broad emission lines in the observed
wavelength range 4000-7000 Angstroms. We obtained a new spectrum of
AXJ0341.4-4453 extending to 9600 Angstroms which reveals broad Balmer lines and
other characteristics of Seyfert 1 galaxies. The FWHM of broad H-beta is at
least 1600 km/s, while [O III]5007 has FWHM = 730 km/s. The flux ratio [O
III]5007/H-beta = 1. Thus, AXJ0341.4-4453 is by definition a narrow-line
Seyfert 1 galaxy, or perhaps a moderately reddened Seyfert 1 galaxy, but it is
not a Type 2 QSO. Although examples of the latter have long been sought,
particularly in connection with the problem of the X-ray background, there is
still virtually no evidence for the existence of any Type 2 QSO among X-ray
selected samples.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, to appear in MNRA
