Apparent Clustering of Intermediate-redshift Galaxies as a Probe of Dark Energy
We show the apparent redshift-space clustering of galaxies in redshift range
of 0.2--0.4 provides surprisingly useful constraints on dark energy component
in the universe, because of the right balance between the density of objects
and the survey depth. We apply Fisher matrix analysis to the the Luminous Red
Galaxies (LRGs) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), as a concrete example.
Possible degeneracies in the evolution of the equation of state (EOS) and the
other cosmological parameters are clarified.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, Phys.Rev.Lett., replaced with the accepted

Ground-State Properties of a Heisenberg Spin Glass Model with a Hybrid Genetic Algorithm
We developed a genetic algorithm (GA) in the Heisenberg model that combines a
triadic crossover and a parameter-free genetic algorithm. Using the algorithm,
we examined the ground-state stiffness of the Heisenberg model in three
dimensions up to a moderate size range. Results showed the stiffness constant
of in the periodic-antiperiodic boundary condition method and that
of in the open-boundary-twist method. We considered the
origin of the difference in between the two methods and suggested that
both results show the same thing: the ground state of the open system is stable
against a weak perturbation.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
BEC for a Coupled Two-type Hard Core Bosons Model
We study a solvable model of two types hard core Bose particles. A complete
analysis is given of its equilibrium states including the proof of existence of
Bose-Einstein condensation. The plasmon frequencies and the quantum normal
modes corresponding to these frequencies are rigorously constructed. In
particular we show a two-fold degeneracy of these frequencies. We show that all
this results from spontaneous gauge symmetry breakdown
Cluster Heat Bath Algorithm in Monte Carlo Simulations of Ising Models
We have proposed a cluster heat bath method in Monte Carlo simulations of
Ising models in which one of the possible spin configurations of a cluster is
selected in accordance with its Boltzmann weight. We have argued that the
method improves slow relaxation in complex systems and demonstrated it in an
axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising(ANNNI) model in two-dimensions.Comment: 10 pages, REVTeX, 2 figures, to appear in Phys.Rev.Let
Parisi States in a Heisenberg Spin-Glass Model in Three Dimensions
We have studied low-lying metastable states of the Heisenberg model
in two () and three () dimensions having developed a hybrid genetic
algorithm. We have found a strong evidence of the occurrence of the Parisi
states in but not in . That is, in lattices, there exist
metastable states with a finite excitation energy of for
, and energy barriers between the ground state and
those metastable states are with in
but with in . We have also found droplet-like
excitations, suggesting a mixed scenario of the replica-symmetry-breaking
picture and the droplet picture recently speculated in the Ising SG model.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figure

Spin-Glass and Chiral-Glass Transitions in a Heisenberg Spin-Glass Model in Three Dimensions
The three-dimensional Heisenberg spin-glass model is investigated by
the non-equilibrium relaxation method from the paramagnetic state. Finite-size
effects in the non-equilibrium relaxation are analyzed, and the relaxation
functions of the spin-glass susceptibility and the chiral-glass susceptibility
in the infinite-size system are obtained. The finite-time scaling analysis
gives the spin-glass transition at and the
chiral-glass transition at . The results
suggest that both transitions occur simultaneously. The critical exponent of
the spin-glass susceptibility is estimated as ,
which makes an agreement with the experiments of the insulating and the
canonical spin-glass materials.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
