Numerical Renormalization Group Calculations for the Self-energy of the impurity Anderson model
We present a new method to calculate directly the one-particle self-energy of
an impurity Anderson model with Wilson's numerical Renormalization Group method
by writing this quantity as the ratio of two correlation functions. This way of
calculating Sigma(z) turns out to be considerably more reliable and accurate
than via the impurity Green's function alone. We show results for the
self-energy for the case of a constant coupling between impurity and conduction
band (ImDelta = const) and the effective Delta(z) arising in the Dynamical Mean
Field Theory of the Hubbard model. Implications to the problem of the
metal-insulator transition in the Hubbard model are also discussed.Comment: 18 pages, 9 figures, submitted to J. Phys.: Condens. Matte
The low-energy scale of the periodic Anderson model
Wilson's Numerical Renormalization Group method is used to study the
paramagnetic ground state of the periodic Anderson model within the dynamical
mean-field approach. For the particle-hole symmetric model, which is a Kondo
insulator, we find that the lattice Kondo scale T_0 is strongly enhanced over
the impurity scale T_K; T_0/T_K ~ exp(1/3I), where I is the Schrieffer-Wolff
exchange coupling. In the metallic regime, where the conduction band filling is
reduced from one, we find characteristic signatures of Nozi\`eres exhaustion
scenario, including a strongly reduced lattice Kondo scale, a significant
suppression of the states available to screen the f-electron moment, and a
Kondo resonance with a strongly enhanced height. However, in contrast to the
quantitative predictions of Nozi\`eres, we find that the T_0 ~ T_K with a
coefficient which depends strongly on conduction band filling.Comment: 11 pages, 9 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.

Water and the display of power in Augustan Rome: the so-called ‘Villa Claudia’ at Anguillara Sabazia
This article re-considers the architecture of the Roman villa site at Anguillara Sabazia (Lazio (RM), Italy). It is argued that the villa should be dated to the Augustan period, rather than the late Republic, and that its elaborate ornamental water features, including fountains arranged in an elliptical curve, were supplied by the Augustan aqueduct, the Aqua Alsietina, also known as the Aqua Augusta, either directly, or through a subsidiary branch off the main conduit. Its particular elliptical form, unique in Roman villa architecture at that time, may be explained as a small-scale version of the imperial pool (Stagnum) created in 2 bc for the Emperor Augustus’s recreation of sea-battles (Naumachia Augusti) in the modern district of Trastevere, which was the eventual destination of the aqueduct. There is no firm evidence for the owner of the villa, but a fragment of an honorific inscription from the site suggests a high-ranking ex-consul from the family of the Cornelii, possibly connected with the water administration (Cura Aquarum) in Rome
