Boltzmann Equation with a Large Potential in a Periodic Box
The stability of the Maxwellian of the Boltzmann equation with a large
amplitude external potential has been an important open problem. In this
paper, we resolve this problem with a large potential in a periodic box
, . We use [1] in framework to
establish the well-posedness and the stability of the Maxwellian
Baryonic Response of Dense Holographic QCD
The response function of a homogeneous and dense hadronic system to a
time-dependent (baryon) vector potential is discussed for holographic dense QCD
(D4/D8 embedding) both in the confined and deconfined phases. Confined
holographic QCD is an uncompressible and static baryonic insulator at large N_c
and large \lambda, with a gapped vector spectrum and a massless pion.
Deconfined holographic QCD is a diffusive conductor with restored chiral
symmetry and a gapped transverse baryonic current. Similarly, dense D3/D7 is
diffusive for any non-zero temperature at large N_c and large \lambda. At zero
temperature dense D3/D7 exhibits a baryonic longitudinal visco-elastic mode
with a first sound speed \lambda/\sqrt{3} and a small width due to a shear
viscosity to baryon ratio \eta/n_B=\hbar/4. This mode is turned diffusive by
arbitrarily small temperatures, a hallmark of holography.Comment: V2: 47 pages, 7 figures, references added, typos correcte
Structure and correlation effects in semiconducting SrTiO₃
We have investigated the effects of structure change and electron correlation on SrTiO₃ single crystals using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We show that the cubic to tetragonal phase transition at 105 K is manifested by a charge transfer from in-plane (dyz and dzx) bands to out-of-plane (dxy) band, which is opposite to the theoretical predictions. Along this second-order phase transition, we find a smooth evolution of the quasiparticle strength and effective masses. The in-plane band exhibits a peak-dip-hump lineshape, indicating a high degree of correlation on a relatively large (170 meV) energy scale, which is attributed to the polaron formation
