    A thermodynamic uncertainty relation for a system with memory

    Full text link
    We introduce an example of thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) for systems modeled by a one-dimensional generalised Langevin dynamics with memory, determining the motion of a micro-bead driven in a complex fluid. Contrary to TURs typically discussed in the previous years, our observables and the entropy production rate are one-time variables. The bound to the signal-to-noise ratio of such state-dependent observables only in some cases can be mapped to the entropy production rate. For example, this is true in Markovian systems. Hence, the presence of memory in the system complicates the thermodynamic interpretation of the uncertainty relation

    Gabriel-Ulmer duality for topoi and its relation with site presentations

    Full text link
    Let Îș\kappa be a regular cardinal. We study Gabriel-Ulmer duality when one restricts the 2-category of locally Îș\kappa-presentable categories with Îș\kappa-accessible right adjoints to its locally full sub-2-category of Îș\kappa-presentable Grothendieck topoi with geometric Îș\kappa-accessible morphisms. In particular, we provide a full understanding of the locally full sub-2-category of the 2-category of Îș\kappa-small cocomplete categories with Îș\kappa-colimit preserving functors arising as the corresponding 2-category of presentations via the restriction. We analyse the relation of these presentations of Grothendieck topoi with site presentations and we show that the 2-category of locally Îș\kappa-presentable Grothendieck topoi with geometric Îș\kappa-accessible morphisms is a reflective sub-bicategory of the full sub-2-category of the 2-category of sites with morphisms of sites genearated by the weakly Îș\kappa-ary sites in the sense of Shulman [37].Comment: 25 page

    Electromagnetic Form Factors of Nucleons in a Light-cone Diquark Model

    Get PDF
    We investigate the electromagnetic form factors of nucleons within a simple relativistic quark spectator-diquark model using the light-cone formalism. Melosh rotations are applied to both quark and vector diquark. It is shown that the difference between vector and scalar spectator diquarks reproduces the right electric form factor of neutrons, and both the form factors GE(Q2)G_E(Q^2) and GM(Q2)G_M(Q^2) of the proton and neutron agree with experimental data well up to Q2=2 GeV2Q^2=2 ~\rm{GeV}^2 in this simple model.Comment: 16 pages, Revtex4, minor changes, to appear in Phys.

    The geometry of Coherent topoi and Ultrastructures

    Full text link
    We show that coherent topoi are right Kan injective with respect to flat embeddings of topoi. We recover the ultrastructure on their category of points as a consequence of this result. We speculate on possible notions of ultracategory in various arenas of formal model theory.Comment: 24 pages. Comments are welcome
