Zeros of the Partition Function for Higher--Spin 2D Ising Models
We present calculations of the complex-temperature zeros of the partition
functions for 2D Ising models on the square lattice with spin , 3/2, and
2. These give insight into complex-temperature phase diagrams of these models
in the thermodynamic limit. Support is adduced for a conjecture that all
divergences of the magnetisation occur at endpoints of arcs of zeros protruding
into the FM phase. We conjecture that there are such arcs for , where denotes the integral part of .Comment: 8 pages, latex, 3 uuencoded figure
The Yang Lee Edge Singularity on Feynman Diagrams
We investigate the Yang-Lee edge singularity on non-planar random graphs,
which we consider as the Feynman Diagrams of various d=0 field theories, in
order to determine the value of the edge exponent.
We consider the hard dimer model on phi3 and phi4 random graphs to test the
universality of the exponent with respect to coordination number, and the Ising
model in an external field to test its temperature independence. The results
here for generic (``thin'') random graphs provide an interesting counterpoint
to the discussion by Staudacher of these models on planar random graphs.Comment: LaTeX, 6 pages + 3 figure
Smearing of Coulomb Blockade by Resonant Tunneling
We study the Coulomb blockade in a grain coupled to a lead via a resonant
impurity level. We show that the strong energy dependence of the transmission
coefficient through the impurity level can have a dramatic effect on the
quantization of the grain charge. In particular, if the resonance is
sufficiently narrow, the Coulomb staircase shows very sharp steps even if the
transmission through the impurity at the Fermi energy is perfect. This is in
contrast to the naive expectation that perfect transmission should completely
smear charging effects.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Algebro-Geometric Solutions of the Boussinesq Hierarchy
We continue a recently developed systematic approach to the Bousinesq (Bsq)
hierarchy and its algebro-geometric solutions. Our formalism includes a
recursive construction of Lax pairs and establishes associated
Burchnall-Chaundy curves, Baker-Akhiezer functions and Dubrovin-type equations
for analogs of Dirichlet and Neumann divisors. The principal aim of this paper
is a detailed theta function representation of all algebro-geometric
quasi-periodic solutions and related quantities of the Bsq hierarchy.Comment: LaTeX, 48 page
Inelastic Processes in the Collision of Relativistic Highly Charged Ions with Atoms
A general expression for the cross sections of inelastic collisions of fast
(including relativistic) multicharged ions with atoms which is based on the
genelazition of the eikonal approximation is derived. This expression is
applicable for wide range of collision energy and has the standard
nonrelativistic limit and in the ultrarelativistic limit coincides with the
Baltz's exact solution ~\cite{art13} of the Dirac equation. As an application
of the obtained result the following processes are calculated: the excitation
and ionization cross sections of hydrogenlike atom; the single and double
excitation and ionization of heliumlike atom; the multiply ionization of neon
and argon atoms; the probability and cross section of K-vacancy production in
the relativistic collision. The simple analytic formulae
for the cross sections of inelastic collisions and the recurrence relations
between the ionization cross sections of different multiplicities are also
obtained. Comparison of our results with the experimental data and the results
of other calculations are given.Comment: 25 pages, latex, 7 figures avialable upon request,submitted to PR
Hadron and Quark Form Factors in the Relativistic Harmonic Oscillator Model
Nucleon, pion and quark form factors are studied within the relativistic
harmonic oscillator model including the quark spin. It is shown that the
nucleon charge, magnetic and axial form factors and the pion charge form factor
can be explained with one oscillator parameter if one accounts for the scaling
rule and the size of the constituent quarks.Comment: 9 pages, Latex, 3 postscript figures, DFTT 8/9
Soliton localization in Bose-Einstein condensates with time-dependent harmonic potential and scattering length
We derive exact solitonic solutions of a class of Gross-Pitaevskii equations
with time-dependent harmonic trapping potential and interatomic interaction. We
find families of exact single-solitonic, multi-solitonic, and solitary wave
solutions. We show that, with the special case of an oscillating trapping
potential and interatomic interaction, a soliton can be localized indefinitely
at an arbitrary position. The localization is shown to be experimentally
possible for sufficiently long time even with only an oscillating trapping
potential and a constant interatomic interaction.Comment: 19 pages, 11 figures, accepted for publication in J.Phys.
Quantum Charge Fluctuations in a Superconducting Grain
We consider charge quantization in a small superconducting grain that is
contacted by a normal-metal electrode and is controlled by a capacitively
coupled gate. At zero temperature and zero conductance between the grain
and the electrode, the charge as a function of the gate voltage
changes in steps. The step height is if , where and
are, respectively, the superconducting gap and the charging energy of the
grain. Quantum charge fluctuations at finite conductance remove the
discontinuity in the dependence of on and lead to a finite step width
. The resulting shape of the Coulomb blockade staircase is
of a novel type. The grain charge is a continuous function of while the
differential capacitance, , has discontinuities at certain values of
the gate voltage. We determine analytically the shape of the Coulomb blockade
staircase also at non-zero temperatures.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
