On Witten multiple zeta-functions associated with semisimple Lie algebras IV

In our previous work, we established the theory of multi-variable Witten zeta-functions, which are called the zeta-functions of root systems. We have already considered the cases of types $A_2$, $A_3$, $B_2$, $B_3$ and $C_3$. In this paper, we consider the case of $G_2$-type. We define certain analogues of Bernoulli polynomials of $G_2$-type and study the generating functions of them to determine the coefficients of Witten's volume formulas of $G_2$-type. Next we consider the meromorphic continuation of the zeta-function of $G_2$-type and determine its possible singularities. Finally, by using our previous method, we give explicit functional relations for them which include Witten's volume formulas.Comment: 22 pag

Functional relations for zeta-functions of weight lattices of Lie groups of type A3A_3

We study zeta-functions of weight lattices of compact connected semisimple Lie groups of type $A_3$. Actually we consider zeta-functions of SU(4), SO(6) and PU(4), and give some functional relations and new classes of evaluation formulas for them.Comment: 25 Page

Real space application of the mean-field description of spin glass dynamics

The out of equilibrium dynamics of finite dimensional spin glasses is considered from a point of view going beyond the standard `mean-field theory' versus `droplet picture' debate of the last decades. The main predictions of both theories concerning the spin glass dynamics are discussed. It is shown, in particular, that predictions originating from mean-field ideas concerning the violations of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem apply quantitatively, provided one properly takes into account the role of the spin glass coherence length which plays a central role in the droplet picture. Dynamics in a uniform magnetic field is also briefly discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 4 eps figures. v2: published versio

Field-Shift Aging Protocol on the 3D Ising Spin-Glass Model: Dynamical Crossover between the Spin-Glass and Paramagnetic States

Spin-glass (SG) states of the 3-dimensional Ising Edwards-Anderson model under a static magnetic field $h$ are examined by means of the standard Monte Carlo simulation on the field-shift aging protocol at temperature $T$. For each process with (T; \tw, h), \tw being the waiting time before the field is switched on, we extract the dynamical crossover time, \tcr(T; \tw, h). We have found a nice scaling relation between the two characteristic length scales which are properly determined from \tcr and \tw and then are normalized by the static field crossover length introduced in the SG droplet theory. This scaling behavior implies the instability of the SG phase in the equilibrium limit even under an infinitesimal $h$. In comparison with this numerical result the field effect on real spin glasses is also discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, jpsj2, Changed conten

Time and length scales in spin glasses

We discuss the slow, nonequilibrium, dynamics of spin glasses in their glassy phase. We briefly review the present theoretical understanding of the spectacular phenomena observed in experiments and describe new numerical results obtained in the first large-scale simulation of the nonequilibrium dynamics of the three dimensional Heisenberg spin glass.Comment: Paper presented at "Highly Frustrated Magnetism 2003", Grenoble, August 200

Symmetrical Temperature-Chaos Effect with Positive and Negative Temperature Shifts in a Spin Glass

The aging in a Heisenberg-like spin glass Ag(11 at% Mn) is investigated by measurements of the zero field cooled magnetic relaxation at a constant temperature after small temperature shifts $|\Delta T/T_g| < 0.012$. A crossover from fully accumulative to non-accumulative aging is observed, and by converting time scales to length scales using the logarithmic growth law of the droplet model, we find a quantitative evidence that positive and negative temperature shifts cause an equivalent restart of aging (rejuvenation) in terms of dynamical length scales. This result supports the existence of a unique overlap length between a pair of equilibrium states in the spin glass system.Comment: 4 page

Aging dynamics in reentrant ferromagnet: Cu0.2_{0.2}Co0.8_{0.8}Cl2_{2}-FeCl3_{3} graphite bi-intercalation compound

Aging dynamics of a reentrant ferromagnet Cu$_{0.2}$Co$_{0.8}$Cl$_{2}$-FeCl$_{3}$ graphite bi-intercalation compound has been studied using AC and DC magnetic susceptibility. This compound undergoes successive transitions at the transition temperatures $T_{c}$ ($= 9.7$ K) and $T_{RSG}$ ($= 3.5$ K). The relaxation rate $S(t)$ exhibits a characteristic peak at $t_{cr}$ close to a wait time $t_{w}$ below $T_{c}$, indicating that the aging phenomena occur in both the reentrant spin glass (RSG) phase below $T_{RSG}$ and the ferromagnetic (FM) phase between $T_{RSG}$ and $T_{c}$. The relaxation rate $S(t)$ ($=\text{d}\chi_{ZFC}(t)/\text{d}\ln t$) in the FM phase exhibits two peaks around $t_{w}$ and a time much shorter than $t_{w}$ under the positive $T$-shift aging, indicating a partial rejuvenation of domains. The aging state in the FM phase is fragile against a weak magnetic-field perturbation. The time ($t$) dependence of $\chi_{ZFC}(t)$ around $t \approx t_{cr}$ is well approximated by a stretched exponential relaxation: $\chi_{ZFC}(t) \approx \exp[-(t/\tau)^{1-n}]$. The exponent $n$ depends on $t_{w}$, $T$, and $H$. The relaxation time $\tau$ ($\approx t_{cr}$) exhibits a local maximum around 5 K, reflecting a chaotic nature of the FM phase. It drastically increases with decreasing temperature below $T_{RSG}$.Comment: 16 pages,16 figures, submitted to Physical Review

A generalized Macdonald operator

We present an explicit difference operator diagonalized by the Macdonald polynomials associated with an (arbitrary) admissible pair of irreducible reduced crystallographic root systems. By the duality symmetry, this gives rise to an explicit Pieri formula for the Macdonald polynomials in question. The simplest examples of our construction recover Macdonald's celebrated difference operators and associated Pieri formulas pertaining to the minuscule and quasi-minuscule weights. As further by-products, explicit expansions and Littlewood-Richardson type formulas are obtained for the Macdonald polynomials associated with a special class of small weights.Comment: 11 pages.

Temperature Chaos, Rejuvenation and Memory in Migdal-Kadanoff Spin Glasses

We use simulations within the Migdal-Kadanoff real space renormalization approach to probe the scales relevant for rejuvenation and memory in spin glasses. One of the central questions concerns the role of temperature chaos. First we investigate scaling laws of equilibrium temperature chaos, finding super-exponential decay of correlations but no chaos for the total free energy. Then we perform out of equilibrium simulations that follow experimental protocols. We find that: (1) rejuvenation arises at a length scale smaller than the ``overlap length'' l(T,T'); (2) memory survives even if equilibration goes out to length scales much larger than l(T,T').Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, added references, slightly changed content, modified Fig.

Numerical Study on Aging Dynamics in the 3D Ising Spin-Glass Model. II. Quasi-Equilibrium Regime of Spin Auto-Correlation Function

Using Monte Carlo simulations, we have studied isothermal aging of three-dimensional Ising spin-glass model focusing on quasi-equilibrium behavior of the spin auto-correlation function. Weak violation of the time translational invariance in the quasi-equilibrium regime is analyzed in terms of {\it effective stiffness} for droplet excitations in the presence of domain walls. Within the range of computational time window, we have confirmed that the effective stiffness follows the expected scaling behavior with respect to the characteristic length scales associated with droplet excitations and domain walls, whose growth law has been extracted from our simulated data. Implication of the results are discussed in relation to experimental works on ac susceptibilities.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figure
