Valence Bond Solids and Their Quantum Melting in Hard-Core Bosons on the Kagome Lattice
Using large scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations and dual vortex theory we
analyze the ground state phase diagram of hard-core bosons on the kagome
lattice with nearest neighbor repulsion. In contrast to the case of a
triangular lattice, no supersolid emerges for strong interactions. While a
uniform superfluid prevails at half-filling, two novel solid phases emerge at
densities and . These solids exhibit an only partial
ordering of the bosonic density, allowing for local resonances on a subset of
hexagons of the kagome lattice. We provide evidence for a weakly first-order
phase transition at the quantum melting point between these solid phases and
the superfluid.Comment: 4 pages, 7 figure
Exclusion statistics for fractional quantum Hall states on a sphere
We discuss exclusion statistics parameters for quasiholes and quasielectrons
excited above the fractional quantum Hall states near . We
derive the diagonal statistics parameters from the (``unprojected'') composite
fermion (CF) picture. We propose values for the off-diagonal (mutual)
statistics parameters as a simple modification of those obtained from the
unprojected CF picture, by analyzing finite system numerical spectra in the
spherical geometry.Comment: 9 pages, Revtex, 4 Postscript figures. Universality of the statistics
parameters is stressed, 2 figs adde
Inverse problems for Schrodinger equations with Yang-Mills potentials in domains with obstacles and the Aharonov-Bohm effect
We study the inverse boundary value problems for the Schr\"{o}dinger
equations with Yang-Mills potentials in a bounded domain
containing finite number of smooth obstacles . We
prove that the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator on determines
the gauge equivalence class of the Yang-Mills potentials. We also prove that
the metric tensor can be recovered up to a diffeomorphism that is identity on

On the isospin dependence of the mean spin-orbit field in nuclei
By the use of the latest experimental data on the spectra of Sb and
Sn and on the analysis of properties of other odd nuclei adjacent to
doubly magic closed shells the isospin dependence of a mean spin-orbit
potential is defined. Such a dependence received the explanation in the
framework of different theoretical approaches.Comment: 52 pages, Revtex, no figure
Spin ice in a field: quasi-phases and pseudo-transitions
Thermodynamics of the short-range model of spin ice magnets in a field is
considered in the Bethe - Peierls approximation. The results obtained for
[111], [100] and [011] fields agrees reasonably well with the existing
Monte-Carlo simulations and some experiments. In this approximation all
extremely sharp field-induced anomalies are described by the analytical
functions of temperature and applied field. In spite of the absence of true
phase transitions the analysis of the entropy and specific heat reliefs over
H-T plane allows to discern the "pseudo-phases" with specific character of spin
fluctuations and define the lines of more or less sharp "pseudo-transitions"
between them.Comment: 18 pages, 16 figure
Exact solution of Calogero model with competing long-range interactions
An integrable extension of the Calogero model is proposed to study the
competing effect of momentum dependent long-range interaction over the original
{1 \ov r^2} interaction. The eigenvalue problem is exactly solved and the
consequences on the generalized exclusion statistics, which appears to differ
from the exchange statistics, are analyzed. Family of dual models with
different coupling constants is shown to exist with same exclusion statistics.Comment: Revtex, 6 pages, 1 figure, hermitian variant of the model included,
final version to appear in Phys. Rev.
Bosonic and fermionic single-particle states in the Haldane approach to statistics for identical particles
We give two formulations of exclusion statistics (ES) using a variable number
of bosonic or fermionic single-particle states which depend on the number of
particles in the system. Associated bosonic and fermionic ES parameters are
introduced and are discussed for FQHE quasiparticles, anyons in the lowest
Landau level and for the Calogero-Sutherland model. In the latter case, only
one family of solutions is emphasized to be sufficient to recover ES;
appropriate families are specified for a number of formulations of the
Calogero-Sutherland model. We extend the picture of variable number of
single-particle states to generalized ideal gases with statistical interaction
between particles of different momenta. Integral equations are derived which
determine the momentum distribution for single-particle states and distribution
of particles over the single-particle states in the thermal equilibrium.Comment: 6 pages, REVTE
Classical phase space and statistical mechanics of identical particles
Starting from the quantum theory of identical particles, we show how to
define a classical mechanics that retains information about the quantum
statistics. We consider two examples of relevance for the quantum Hall effect:
identical particles in the lowest Landau level, and vortices in the
Chern-Simons Ginzburg-Landau model. In both cases the resulting {\em classical}
statistical mechanics is shown to be a nontrivial classical limit of Haldane's
exclusion statistics.Comment: 40 pages, Late
Topological Entanglement Entropy of a Bose-Hubbard Spin Liquid
The Landau paradigm of classifying phases by broken symmetries was
demonstrated to be incomplete when it was realized that different quantum Hall
states could only be distinguished by more subtle, topological properties.
Today, the role of topology as an underlying description of order has branched
out to include topological band insulators, and certain featureless gapped Mott
insulators with a topological degeneracy in the groundstate wavefunction.
Despite intense focus, very few candidates for these topologically ordered
"spin liquids" exist. The main difficulty in finding systems that harbour spin
liquid states is the very fact that they violate the Landau paradigm, making
conventional order parameters non-existent. Here, we uncover a spin liquid
phase in a Bose-Hubbard model on the kagome lattice, and measure its
topological order directly via the topological entanglement entropy. This is
the first smoking-gun demonstration of a non-trivial spin liquid, identified
through its entanglement entropy as a gapped groundstate with emergent Z2 gauge
symmetry.Comment: 4+ pages, 3 figure
