Nonperturbative Quantum Physics from Low-Order Perturbation Theory
The Stark effect in hydrogen and the cubic anharmonic oscillator furnish
examples of quantum systems where the perturbation results in a certain
ionization probability by tunneling processes. Accordingly, the perturbed
ground-state energy is shifted and broadened, thus acquiring an imaginary part
which is considered to be a paradigm of nonperturbative behavior. Here we
demonstrate how the low order coefficients of a divergent perturbation series
can be used to obtain excellent approximations to both real and imaginary parts
of the perturbed ground state eigenenergy. The key is to use analytic
continuation functions with a built in analytic structure within the complex
plane of the coupling constant, which is tailored by means of Bender-Wu
dispersion relations. In the examples discussed the analytic continuation
functions are Gauss hypergeometric functions, which take as input fourth order
perturbation theory and return excellent approximations to the complex
perturbed eigenvalue. These functions are Borel-consistent and dramatically
outperform widely used Pad\'e and Borel-Pad\'e approaches, even for rather
large values of the coupling constant.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, PDFLaTe
Symmetry Based Properties of the Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Nanotubes
The full geometrical symmetry groups (the line groups) of the monolayered,
2Hb and 3R polytypes of the inorganic MoS2 and WS2 micro- and nanotubes of
arbitrary chirality are found. This is used to find the coordinates of the
representative atoms sufficient to determine completely geometrical structure
of tubes. Then some physical properties which can be deduced from the symmetry
are discussed: electron band degeneracies, selection rules, general forms of
the second rank tensors and potentials, phonon spectra.Comment: 6 pages 1 figur
Charge and spin fractionalization in strongly correlated topological insulators
We construct an effective topological Landau-Ginzburg theory that describes
general SU(2) incompressible quantum liquids of strongly correlated particles
in two spatial dimensions. This theory characterizes the fractionalization of
quasiparticle quantum numbers and statistics in relation to the topological
ground-state symmetries, and generalizes the Chern-Simons, BF and hierarchical
effective gauge theories to an arbitrary representation of the SU(2) symmetry
group. Our main focus are fractional topological insulators with time-reversal
symmetry, which are treated as generalizations of the SU(2) quantum Hall
effect.Comment: 8 pages, published versio
Performance Improvement of QPSK Signal Predetection EGC Diversity Receiver
This paper proposes a modification of quadrature phase-shift-keying (QPSK) signal diversity reception with predetection equal gain combiner (EGC). The EGC combining is realized by using the constant modulus algorithm (CMA). Carrier synchronization is performed by the phase locked loop (PLL). Comparative analysis of the modified and ordinary diversity receiver in the presence of carrier frequency offset in the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, as well as in Rician fading channel is shown. The proposed diversity receiver allows significant frequency offset compared to the diversity receiver that uses only PLL, and the error probability of the proposed receiver is very close to the error probability of the receiver with only PLL and zero frequency offset. The functionality of the proposed diversity receiver, as well as its properties is experimentally verified on a system based on universal software radio peripheral (USRP) hardware. The performed comparison confirms the expected behavior of the system
Noncommutativity relations in type IIB theory and their supersymmetry
In the present paper we investigate noncommutativity of and -brane
world-volumes embedded in space-time of type IIB superstring theory. Boundary
conditions, which preserve half of the initial supersymmetry, are treated as
canonical constraints. Solving the constraints we obtain original coordinates
in terms of the effective coordinates and momenta. Presence of momenta induces
noncommutativity of string endpoints. We show that noncommutativity relations
are connected by N=1 supersymmetry transformations and noncommutativity
parameters are components of N=1 supermultiplet
Effects of Imperfect Reference Signal Recovery on Performance of SC and SSC Receivers over Generalized Fading Channels
This paper presents the study of the effects of imperfect reference signal recovery on the bit error rate (BER) performance of dual-branch switch-and-stay combining (SSC) and multibranch selection combining (SC) receivers in a generalized - fading channel. The average BER of binary and quaternary phase shift keying (BPSK and QPSK) is derived under the assumption that the reference carrier signal is extracted from the received modulated signal. For SSC receiver the optimal switching threshold (in a minimum BER sense) is numerically evaluated. Hereby we determine and discuss the simultaneous influence of the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) per bit, fading severity, product phase-locked loop (PLL) bandwidthbit duration (B_LT_b), switching threshold of SSC and diversity order of SC on BER performance. The influence of B_LT_b in different channel conditions and modulation formats is pointed out. The numerical results are confirmed by computer simulations
