Graviton Propagators in Supergravity and Noncommutative Gauge Theory
We investigate the graviton propagator in the type IIB supergravity
background which is dual to 4 dimensional noncommutative gauge theory. We
assume that the boundary is located not at the infinity but at the
noncommutative scale where the string frame metric exhibits the maximum. We
argue that the Neumann boundary condition is the appropriate boundary condition
to be adopted at the boundary. We find that the graviton propagator behaves
just as that of the 4 dimensional massless graviton. On the other hand, the
non-analytic behaviors of the other Kaluza-Klein modes are not significantly
affected by the Neumann boundary condition.Comment: 19 page
Density-matrix renormalization group study of pairing when electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions coexist: effect of the electronic band structure
Density-matrix renormalization group is used to study the pairing when both
of electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions are strong in the
Holstein-Hubbard model at half-filling in a region intermediate between the
adiabatic (Migdal's) and antiadiabatic limits. We have found: (i) the pairing
correlation obtained for a one-dimensional system is nearly degenerate with the
CDW correlation in a region where the phonon-induced attraction is comparable
with the electron-electron repulsion, but (ii) pairing becomes dominant when we
destroy the electron-hole symmetry in a trestle lattice. This provides an
instance in which pairing can arise, in a lattice-structure dependent manner,
from coexisting electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures; to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
Asymptotic estimation theory for a finite dimensional pure state model
The optimization of measurement for n samples of pure sates are studied. The
error of the optimal measurement for n samples is asymptotically compared with
the one of the maximum likelihood estimators from n data given by the optimal
measurement for one sample.Comment: LaTeX, 23 pages, Doctoral Thesi
Electron Beam Dynamics in the 50 MeV ThomX Compact Storage Ring
International audienceThomX is a high flux compact X-ray source based on Compton back scattering between a relativistic electron beam and an intense laser pulse. To increase the repetition rate, the electron beam is stored in a ring. The main drawback of such a scheme is the low energy of the electrons regarding collective effects and intrabeam scattering. These effects tend to enlarge or even disrupt the stored bunch and they limit its charge, especially in a system where damping plays a negligible role. Thus such collective effects reduce the maximum X-ray flux and it is important to investigate them to predict the performance of this type of X-ray source. In addition, the Compton back scattering acts on the electron beam by increasing its energy spread. This presentation will show firstly the impact of collective effects on the electron beam, essentially during the first turns when they are the most harmful. Then, the reduction of the X-ray flux due to Compton back scattering and intrabeam scattering will be investigated on a longer time scale
Dynamical Magnetic Susceptibility for the - Model
We present results for the {\em dynamical}\/ magnetic susceptibility of the
- model, calculated with the dynamical mean field theory. For we
find enhanced ferromagnetic correlations but an otherwise relatively
-independent dynamical magnetic susceptibility. For the explicit
antiferromagnetic exchange leads to a dynamic spin structure factor with the
expected peak at the antiferromagnetic Bragg point.Comment: 3 pages LaTeX, postscript figures included, submitted as contribution

Propagation of a hole on a Neel background
We analyze the motion of a single hole on a N\'eel background, neglecting
spin fluctuations. Brinkman and Rice studied this problem on a cubic lattice,
introducing the retraceable-path approximation for the hole Green's function,
exact in a one-dimensional lattice. Metzner et al. showed that the
approximationalso becomes exact in the infinite-dimensional limit. We introduce
a new approach to this problem by resumming the Nagaoka expansion of the
propagator in terms of non-retraceable skeleton-paths dressed by
retraceable-path insertions. This resummation opens the way to an almost
quantitative solution of the problemin all dimensions and, in particular sheds
new light on the question of the position of the band-edges. We studied the
motion of the hole on a double chain and a square lattice, for which deviations
from the retraceable-path approximation are expected to be most pronounced. The
density of states is mostly adequately accounted for by the
retra\-ce\-able-path approximation. Our band-edge determination points towards
an absence of band tails extending to the Nagaoka energy in the spectrums of
the double chain and the square lattice. We also evaluated the spectral density
and the self-energy, exhibiting k-dependence due to finite dimensionality. We
find good agreement with recent numerical results obtained by Sorella et al.
with the Lanczos spectra decoding method. The method we employ enables us to
identify the hole paths which are responsible for the various features present
in the density of states and the spectral density.Comment: 26 pages,Revte
Pseudospin SU(2) Symmetry Breaking, Charge Density Wave and Superconductivity in the Hubbard Model
In this paper, we discuss physical consequences of pseudospin SU(2) symmetry
breaking in the negative-U Hubbard model at half-filling. If pseudospin
symmetry is spontaneously broken while its unique subgroup U(1) remains
invariant, it will lead to the charge density wave (CDW) ground state.
Furthermore, if the U(1) symmetry is also broken, the ground state will have
the off-diagonal long range order (ODLRO), signaling a superconductor. In this
case, CDW and superconductivity coexist to form a supersolid. Finally, we show
that CDW suppresses, but does not destroy superconductivity.Comment: 7 page
Mott-Hubbard insulators for systems with orbital degeneracy
We study how the electron hopping reduces the Mott-Hubbard band gap in the
limit of a large Coulomb interaction U and as a function of the orbital
degeneracy N. The results support the conclusion that the hopping contribution
grows as roughly \sqrt{N}W, where W is the one-particle band width, but in
certain models a crossover to a \sim NW behavior is found for a sufficiently
large N.Comment: 7 pages, revtex, 6 figures more information at

Uncertainty Relation Revisited from Quantum Estimation Theory
By invoking quantum estimation theory we formulate bounds of errors in
quantum measurement for arbitrary quantum states and observables in a
finite-dimensional Hilbert space. We prove that the measurement errors of two
observables satisfy Heisenberg's uncertainty relation, find the attainable
bound, and provide a strategy to achieve it.Comment: manuscript including 4 pages and 2 figure
Pairing in the quantum Hall system
We find an analogy between the single skyrmion state in the quantum Hall
system and the BCS superconducting state and address that the quantum
mechanical origin of the skyrmion is electronic pairing. The skyrmion phase is
found to be unstable for magnetic fields above the critical field at
temperature , which is well represented by the relation .Comment: revtex, two figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. B (Rapid Communications
