Alternative formalism to the slave particle mean field theory of the t-J model without deconfinement
An alternative formalism that does not require the assumption of the
deconfinement phase of a U(1) gauge field is proposed for the slave particle
mean field theory. Starting form the spin-fermion model, a spinon field, which
is either fermion or boson, is introduced to represent the localized spin
moment. We find a d-wave superconductive state in the mean field theory in the
case of the fermion representation of the localized spin moment that
corresponds to the slave boson mean field theory of the t-J model, whereas the
d-wave superconductive state is absent in case of the Schwinger boson
representation of the localized spin moments.Comment: 8 page
New Superconducting and Magnetic Phases Emerge on the Verge of Antiferromagnetism in CeIn
We report the discovery of new superconducting and novel magnetic phases in
CeIn on the verge of antiferromagnetism (AFM) under pressure () through
the In-nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements. We have found a
-induced phase separation of AFM and paramagnetism (PM) without any trace
for a quantum phase transition in CeIn. A new type of superconductivity
(SC) was found in GPa to coexist with AFM that is magnetically
separated from PM where the heavy fermion SC takes place. We propose that the
magnetic excitations such as spin-density fluctuations induced by the
first-order magnetic phase transition might mediate attractive interaction to
form Cooper pairs.Comment: 4 pages, 4 EPS figures, submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Fully Off-shell Effective Action and its Supersymmetry in Matrix Theory
As a step toward clarification of the power of supersymmetry (SUSY) in Matrix
theory, a complete calculation, including all the spin effects, is performed of
the effective action of a probe D-particle, moving along an arbitrary
trajectory in interaction with a large number of coincident source D-particles,
at one loop at order 4 in the derivative expansion. Furthermore, exploiting the
SUSY Ward identity developed previously, the quantum-corrected effective
supersymmetry transformation laws are obtained explicitly to the relevant order
and are used to verify the SUSY-invariance of the effective action. Assuming
that the agreement with 11-dimensional supergravity persists, our result can be
regarded as a prediction for supergravity calculation, which, yet unavailable,
is known to be highly non-trivial.Comment: 27 page
Coherent matter waves emerging from Mott-insulators
We study the formation of (quasi-)coherent matter waves emerging from a Mott
insulator for strongly interacting bosons on a one-dimensional lattice. It has
been shown previously that a quasi-condensate emerges at momentum k=\pi/2a,
where a is the lattice constant, in the limit of infinitely strong repulsion
(hard-core bosons). Here we show that this phenomenon persists for all values
of the repulsive interaction that lead to a Mott insulator at a commensurate
filling. The non-equilibrium dynamics of hard-core bosons is treated exactly by
means of a Jordan-Wigner transformation, and the generic case is studied using
a time-dependent density matrix renormalization group technique. Different
methods for controlling the emerging matter wave are discussed.Comment: 20 pages, 11 figures. Published versio
Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of infinitely strongly correlated fermions
Numerical simulations of the two-dimensional t-J model in the limit are performed for rather large systems (up to ) using a
world-line loop-algorithm. It is shown that in the one-hole case with J=0,
where no minus signs appear, very low temperatures () are
necessary in order to reach Nagaoka's state. J/t \ltsim 0.05 leads to the
formation of partially polarized systems, whereas J/t \gtsim 0.05
corresponds to minimal spin. The two-hole case shows enhanced total spin up to
the lowest attainable temperatures ().Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Oral health status: relationship to nutrient and food intake among 80âyearâold Japanese adults
Objectives The aim of this crossâsectional study was to investigate the relationship of oral health status defined on the basis of presence of posterior occluding pairs ( POP s) and adequacy of removable denture fit as determined by selfâreport to nutrient and food intake among older Japanese. Methods The subjects were 353 Japanese aged 80 years in 2008 and were classified into four groups according to the number of POP s, defined as pairs of occluding natural, restored, or fixed prosthetic postcanine teeth (range: 0â8) and removable denture status. The groups were: (i) good dentition ( n =  56; 8 POP s and no removable prosthesis), (ii) wellâfitting dentures ( n =  158; <8 POP s with selfâreported goodâfitting dentures), (iii) illâfitting dentures ( n =  70; <8 POP s with selfâreported illâfitting dentures), and (iv) compromised dentition ( n =  69; <8 POP s and no removable prosthesis). Multivariable analysis of the differences in nutrient and food intake outcome variables which were collected via validated food frequency questionnaire among the four oral health status groups was conducted using general linear models. Results Intake of multiple nutrients was significantly ( P <  0.05) lower in the group with illâfitting dentures or compromised dentition than in the good dentition group. Vegetable, fish, and shellfish consumption was significantly lower in the illâfitting dentures or compromised dentition groups. No significant differences were seen in dietary intake between the wellâfitting dentures and good dentition groups. Conclusions Dietary intake was poorer in those with selfâperceived illâfitting dentures or fewer POP s than among those having all POP s. Regular dental care to maintain intact dentition, as well as dental treatment to replace missing teeth and ensure adequate denture fit and function, may be important to the diet intake and subsequent nutritional status of older Japanese.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/108691/1/cdoe12100.pd
