Temperature dependence of spinon and holon excitations in one-dimensional Mott insulators

Motivated by the recent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements on one-dimensional Mott insulators, SrCuO${}_{2}$ and Na${}_{0.96}$V${}_{2}$O${}_{5}$, we examine the single-particle spectral weight of the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model at half-filling. We are particularly interested in the temperature dependence of the spinon and holon excitations. For this reason, we have performed the dynamical density matrix renormalization group and determinantal quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations for the single-particle spectral weight of the 1D Hubbard model. In the QMC data, the spinon and holon branches become observable at temperatures where the short-range antiferromagnetic correlations develop. At these temperatures, the spinon branch grows rapidly. In the light of the numerical results, we discuss the spinon and holon branches observed by the ARPES experiments on SrCuO${}_{2}$. These numerical results are also in agreement with the temperature dependence of the ARPES results on Na${}_{0.96}$V${}_{2}$O${}_{5}$.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figure

Gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking with generalized messenger sector at LHC

We consider the generalized gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking (GMSB) models with the messenger elds which do not form the complete multiplets of SU(5) GUT symmetry. Such a situation may happen in the anomalous U(1) GUT scenario because the mass spectrum of the superheavy particle does not respect SU(5) GUT symmetry, although the success of the gauge coupling uni cation can be explained. In this paper, we assume that one pair of the messenger elds gives the dominant contribution, and the LHC signature for the two possible messengers, X + X and Q + Q, are examined. We investigate the possibility to measure the deviation from the usual GUT relation of the gaugino masses which is one of the most important features of these scenarios. 1

A new look at decomposition of turbulence forcing field and the structural response

Measured cross-spectrum of a turbulence field usually shows some decay in the statistical correlation in addition to convection at a characteristic velocity. It is shown that a decaying turbulence can be decomposed into frozen-pattern components thus permitting a simpler way to calculate the structural response. This procedure also provides a relationship whereby the measured input spectra can be incorporated. The theory is applied to an infinite beam which is backed on one side by a fluid filled cavity and is exposed on the other side by the turbulence excitation. The effect of the free stream velocity is also taken into consideration

Vibroacoustic response of structures and perturbation Reynolds stress near structure-turbulence interface

The interaction between a turbulent flow and certain types of structures which respond to its excitation is investigated. One-dimensional models were used to develop the basic ideas applied to a second model resembling the fuselage construction of an aircraft. In the two-dimensional case a simple membrane, with a small random variation in the membrane tension, was used. A decaying turbulence was constructed by superposing infinitely many components, each of which is convected as a frozen pattern at a different velocity. Structure-turbulence interaction results are presented in terms of the spectral densities of the structural response and the perturbation Reynolds stress in the fluid at the vicinity of the interface

CEDM constraints on modified sfermion universality and spontaneous CP violation

We discuss the supersymmetric CP problem that arises when the sfermion soft mass universality is modified. We place the 3rd generation SU(5) ten-plet sfermion masses in the weak scale in view of the naturalness. The other sfermion masses are assumed to be universal and a TeV scale in order to weaken the flavor changing neutral current processes and electric dipole moment (EDM) constraints. However this modification generically induces too large up quark chromo-EDM (CEDM) via the weak scale stop loop. In order to suppress this CEDM, we propose certain type of flavor structure where the parameters of the up-(s)quark sector are real whereas those of the down-(s)quark and the charged (s)lepton sectors are complex at the GUT scale. It is shown that, in this set up, up quark CEDM can be suppressed within the range where the current and future experiments have their sensitivity. We briefly illustrate the simple realization of these particular forms of the modified sfermion universality with real up-(s)quark sector by spontaneous CP violation in E$_6$ SUSY GUT with SU(2) flavor symmetry.Comment: Hg EDM bound updated, content modified, figure added, typos corrected, references adde

Mott Gap Excitations and Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering in Doped Cuprates

Predictions are made for the momentum- and carrier-dependent degradation of the Mott gap upon doping in high-Tc cuprates as would be observed in Cu K-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). The two-dimensional Hubbard model with second- and third-nearest-neighbor hopping terms has been studied by numerical exact diagonalization. Special emphasis is placed on the particle-hole asymmetry of the Mott gap excitations. We argue that the Mott gap excitations observed by RIXS are significantly influenced by the interaction between charge carriers and antiferromagnetic correlations.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, revised version; to be published in Phys.
