    Localization of Bose-Einstein Condensation and Disappearance of Superfluidity of Strongly Correlated Bose Fluid in a Confined Potential

    Full text link
    We develop a Bose fluid model in a confined potential to consider the new quantum phase due to the localization of Bose-Einstein condensation and disappearance of superfluidity which is recently observed in liquid 4He in porous glass at high pressures. A critical pressure of the transition to this phase can be defined by our new analytical criterion of supposing the size of localized Bose-Einstein condensate becomes comparable to the scale of confinement. The critical pressure is quantitatively consistent with observations without free parameters.Comment: 2 pages, 1 figur

    Non-minimal bridge positions of torus knots are stabilized

    Full text link
    We show that any non-minimal bridge decomposition of a torus knot is stabilized and that nn-bridge decompositions of a torus knot are unique for any integer nn. This implies that a knot in a bridge position is a torus knot if and only if there exists a torus containing the knot such that it intersects the bridge sphere in two essential loops.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure
