Density profiles of small Dirac operator eigenvalues for two color QCD at nonzero chemical potential compared to matrix models
We investigate the eigenvalue spectrum of the stagerred Dirac matrix in two color QCD at finite chemical potential. The profiles of complex eigenvalues close to the origin are compared to a complex generalization of the chiral Gaussian Symplectic Ensemble, confirming its predictions for weak and strong non-Hermiticity. They differ from the QCD symmetry class with three colors by a level repulsion from both the real and imaginary axis
Amele switch reference as temporal recentering
Amele (Papuan, New Guinea) is a tense-mood-based language (in the typology of Bittner 2014) with an elaborate system of clause chaining, including switch reference (SR) and serial verb constructions (SVC). This draft analyzes two interlinear Amele texts (from Roberts 2007) in Update with Centering of Bittner (2014). The basic idea is that an SR-chain is a topic-comment sequence about a 'topical development' — i.e. a topic time framing a chain of causally linked events. In contrast, an SVC is a chain of verbs that jointly introduce a single eventuality into discourse
Lowest eigenvalues of the Dirac operator for two color QCD at nonzero chemical potential
We investigate the eigenvalue spectrum of the staggered Dirac matrix in SU(3)
and U(1) gauge theory as well as in full QCD with two colors and finite
chemical potential. Along the strong-coupling axis up to the phase transition,
the low-lying Dirac spectrum of these quantum field theories is well described
by random matrix theory and exhibits universal behavior. Related results for
gauge theories with minimal coupling are discussed in the chirally symmetric
phase and no universality is seen for the microscopic spectral densities.Comment: Lattice2001(hightemp), 3 pages, 9 figure
Quantification as reference: Evidence from Q-verbs
Formal semantics has so far focused on three categories of quantifiers, to wit, Q-determiners (e.g. 'every'), Q-adverbs (e.g. 'always'), and Q-auxiliaries (e.g. 'would'). All three can be analyzed in terms of tripartite logical forms (LF). This paper presents evidence from verbs with distributive affixes (Q-verbs), in Kalaallisut, Polish, and Bininj Gun-wok, which cannot be analyzed in terms of tripartite LFs. It is argued that a Q-verb involves discourse reference to a distributive verbal dependency, i.e. an episode-valued function that sends different semantic objects in a contextually salient plural domain to different episodes
