Numerical Study of TAP Metastable States in 3-body Ising Spin Glasses

The distribution of solutions of the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer equation is studied by extensive numerical experiments for fully connected 3-body interaction Ising spin glass models in a level of annealed calculation. A recent study predicted that when the equilibrium state of the system is characterized by one-step replica symmetry breaking, the distribution is described by a Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) supersymmetric solution in the relatively low free energy region, whereas the BRST supersymmetry is broken for higher values of free energy (Crisanti et al., Phys. Rev. B 71 (2005) 094202). Our experiments qualitatively reproduce the discriminative behavior of macroscopic variables predicted by the theoretical assessment.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure

Phase Diagram of the tt--UU--V1V_1--V2V_2 Model at Quarter Filling

We examine the ground-state properties of the one-dimensional Hubbard model at quarter filling with Coulomb interactions between nearest-neighbors $V_1$ and next-nearest neighbors $V_2$. Using the density-matrix renormalization group and exact diagonalization methods, we obtain an accurate ground-state phase diagram in the $V_1$-$V_2$ plane with three different phases: $2k_{\rm F}$- and $4k_{\rm F}$-charge-density-wave and a broad metallic phase in-between. The metal is a Tomonaga-Luttinger-liquid whose critical exponent $K_{\rho}$ is largest around $V_1=2V_2$, where $V_1$ and $V_2$ are frustrated, and smallest, $K_{\rho}=0.25$, at the boundaries between the metallic phase and each of the two ordered phases.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, sumitted to PR

Anti-self-dual Maxwell solutions on hyperk\"ahler manifold and N=2 supersymmetric Ashtekar gravity

Anti-self-dual (ASD) Maxwell solutions on 4-dimensional hyperk\"ahler manifolds are constructed. The N=2 supersymmetric half-flat equations are derived in the context of the Ashtekar formulation of N=2 supergravity. These equations show that the ASD Maxwell solutions have a direct connection with the solutions of the reduced N=2 supersymmetric ASD Yang-Mills equations with a special choice of gauge group. Two examples of the Maxwell solutions are presented.Comment: 9 page

Dynamical Symmetry Breaking in Fractal Space

We formulate field theories in fractal space and show the phase diagrams of the coupling versus the fractal dimension for the dynamical symmetry breaking. We first consider the 4-dimensional Gross-Neveu (GN) model in the (4-d)-dimensional randomized Cantor space where the fermions are restricted to a fractal space by the high potential barrier of Cantor fractal shape. By the statistical treatment of this potential, we obtain an effective action depending on the fractal dimension. Solving the 1/N leading Schwinger-Dyson (SD) equation, we get the phase diagram of dynamical symmetry breaking with a critical line similar to that of the d-dimensional (2<d<4) GN model except for the system-size dependence. We also consider QED4 with only the fermions formally compactified to d dimensions. Solving the ladder SD equation, we obtain the phase diagram of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking with a linear critical line, which is consistent with the known results for d=4 (the Maskawa-Nakajima case) and d=2 (the case with the external magnetic field).Comment: 28 pages, 5 figures, LaTeX with epsf macr

Compact Einstein Spaces based on Quaternionic K\"ahler Manifolds

We investigate the Einstein equation with a positive cosmological constant for $4n+4$-dimensional metrics on bundles over Quaternionic K\"ahler base manifolds whose fibers are 4-dimensional Bianchi IX manifolds. The Einstein equations are reduced to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations. We numerically find inhomogeneous compact Einstein spaces with orbifold singularity.Comment: LaTeX 28 pages, 5 eps figure

Effective Theoretical Approach to Back Reaction of the Dynamical Casimir Effect in 1+1 Dimensions

We present an approach to studying the Casimir effects by means of the effective theory. An essential point of our approach is replacing the mirror separation into the size of space S^1 in the adiabatic approximation. It is natural to identify the size of space S^1 with the scale factor of the Robertson-Walker-type metric. This replacement simplifies the construction of a class of effective models to study the Casimir effects. To check the validity of this replacement we construct a model for a scalar field coupling to the two-dimensional gravity and calculate the Casimir effects by the effective action for the variable scale factor. Our effective action consists of the classical kinetic term of the mirror separation and the quantum correction derived by the path-integral method. The quantum correction naturally contains both the Casimir energy term and the back-reaction term of the dynamical Casimir effect, the latter of which is expressed by the conformal anomaly. The resultant effective action describes the dynamical vacuum pressure, i.e., the dynamical Casimir force. We confirm that the force depends on the relative velocity of the mirrors, and that it is always attractive and stronger than the static Casimir force within the adiabatic approximation.Comment: Published Version, 16 pages, LaTeX2e with graphics package, 1 figur

A Deformation of Sasakian Structure in the Presence of Torsion and Supergravity Solutions

We discuss a deformation of Sasakian structure in the presence of totally skew-symmetric torsion by introducing odd dimensional manifolds whose metric cones are K\"ahler with torsion. It is shown that such a geometry inherits similar properties to those of Sasakian geometry. As an example of them, we present an explicit expression of local metrics and see how Sasakian structure is deformed by the presence of torsion. We also demonstrate that our example of the metrics admits the existence of hidden symmetries described by non-trivial odd-rank generalized closed conformal Killing-Yano tensors. Furthermore, using these metrics as an {\it ansatz}, we construct exact solutions in five dimensional minimal (un-)gauged supergravity and eleven dimensional supergravity. Finally, we discuss the global structures of the solutions and obtain regular metrics on compact manifolds in five dimensions, which give natural generalizations of Sasaki--Einstein manifolds $Y^{p,q}$ and $L^{a,b,c}$. We also discuss regular metrics on non-compact manifolds in eleven dimensions.Comment: 38 pages, 1 table, v2: version to appear in Class. Quant. Gra

Charged Rotating Kaluza-Klein Black Holes Generated by G2(2) Transformation

Applying the G_{2(2)} generating technique for minimal D=5 supergravity to the Rasheed black hole solution, we present a new rotating charged Kaluza-Klein black hole solution to the five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons equations. At infinity, our solution behaves as a four-dimensional flat spacetime with a compact extra dimension and hence describes a Kaluza-Klein black hole. In particlar, the extreme solution is non-supersymmetric, which is contrast to a static case. Our solution has the limits to the asymptotically flat charged rotating black hole solution and a new charged rotating black string solution.Comment: 24 page

Macroscopic quantum tunneling of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

We show theoretically the existence of a metastable state and the possibility of decay to the ground state through macroscopic quantum tunneling in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with repulsive interactions. Numerical analysis of the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations clarifies the metastable states whose configuration preserves or breaks the symmetry of the trapping potential, depending on the interspecies interaction and the particle number. We calculate the tunneling decay rate of the metastable state by using the collective coordinate method under the WKB approximation. Then the height of the energy barrier is estimated by the saddle point solution. It is found that macroscopic quantum tunneling is observable in a wide range of particle numbers. Macroscopic quantum coherence between two distinct states is discussed; this might give an additional coherent property of two-component Bose condensed systems. Thermal effects on the decay rate are estimated.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figures, revtex
