Renormalised four-point coupling constant in the three-dimensional O(N) model with N=0
We simulate self-avoiding walks on a cubic lattice and determine the second
virial coefficient for walks of different lengths. This allows us to determine
the critical value of the renormalized four-point coupling constant in the
three-dimensional N-vector universality class for N=0. We obtain g* =
1.4005(5), where g is normalized so that the three-dimensional
field-theoretical beta-function behaves as \beta(g) = - g + g^2 for small g. As
a byproduct, we also obtain precise estimates of the interpenetration ratio
Psi*, Psi* = 0.24685(11), and of the exponent \nu, \nu = 0.5876(2).Comment: 16 page
Interpolation Parameter and Expansion for the Three Dimensional Non-Trivial Scalar Infrared Fixed Point
We compute the non--trivial infrared --fixed point by means of an
interpolation expansion in fixed dimension. The expansion is formulated for an
infinitesimal momentum space renormalization group. We choose a coordinate
representation for the fixed point interaction in derivative expansion, and
compute its coordinates to high orders by means of computer algebra. We compute
the series for the critical exponent up to order twenty five of
interpolation expansion in this representation, and evaluate it using \pade,
Borel--\pade, Borel--conformal--\pade, and Dlog--\pade resummation. The
resummation returns as the value of .Comment: 29 pages, Latex2e, 2 Postscript figure
On equivariant characteristic ideals of real classes
Let be an odd prime, an abelian totally real number field,
its cyclotomic -extension,
We give an explicit description of the equivariant characteristic ideal of
over for all odd by applying M. Witte's formulation of an equivariant main conjecture (or
"limit theorem") due to Burns and Greither. This could shed some light on
Greenberg's conjecture on the vanishing of the -invariant of
$F_\infty/F.
Correction induced by irrelevant operators in the correlators of the 2d Ising model in a magnetic field
We investigate the presence of irrelevant operators in the 2d Ising model
perturbed by a magnetic field, by studying the corrections induced by these
operators in the spin-spin correlator of the model. To this end we perform a
set of high precision simulations for the correlator both along the axes and
along the diagonal of the lattice. By comparing the numerical results with the
predictions of a perturbative expansion around the critical point we find
unambiguous evidences of the presence of such irrelevant operators. It turns
out that among the irrelevant operators the one which gives the largest
correction is the spin 4 operator T^2 + \bar T^2 which accounts for the
breaking of the rotational invariance due to the lattice. This result agrees
with what was already known for the correlator evaluated exactly at the
critical point and also with recent results obtained in the case of the thermal
perturbation of the model.Comment: 28 pages, no figure

High-sensitivity monitoring of micromechanical vibration using optical whispering gallery mode resonators
The inherent coupling of optical and mechanical modes in high finesse optical
microresonators provide a natural, highly sensitive transduction mechanism for
micromechanical vibrations. Using homodyne and polarization spectroscopy
techniques, we achieve shot-noise limited displacement sensitivities of
10^(-19) m Hz^(-1/2). In an unprecedented manner, this enables the detection
and study of a variety of mechanical modes, which are identified as radial
breathing, flexural and torsional modes using 3-dimensional finite element
modelling. Furthermore, a broadband equivalent displacement noise is measured
and found to agree well with models for thermorefractive noise in silica
dielectric cavities. Implications for ground-state cooling, displacement
sensing and Kerr squeezing are discussed.Comment: 25 pages, 8 figure
Molecular characterization of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus isolated from rose in Brazil.
ABSTRACT There is no molecular characterization of Brazilian isolates of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV), except for those infecting peach. In this research, the causal agent of rose mosaic was determined and the movement (MP) and coat (CP) protein genes of a PNRSV isolate from rose were molecularly characterized for the first time in Brazil. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of MP and CP complete genes were aligned and compared with other isolates. Molecular analysis of the MP and CP nucleotide sequences of a Brazilian PNRSV isolate from rose and others from this same host showed highest identities of 96.7% and 98.6%, respectively, and Rose-Br isolate was classified in PV32 group. Key words: diagnosis, sequencing, Ilarvirus, PNRSV, ApMV, ArMV RESUMO Inexiste caracterização molecular de isolados brasileiros de Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV), exceto aqueles de pessegueiros. Neste trabalho, o agente causal do mosaico da roseira foi determinado e os genes das proteÃnas de movimento (MP) e capsidial (CP) de um isolado de PNRSV de roseira foram molecularmente caracterizados pela primeira vez no Brasil. As sequências completas de nucleotÃdeos e de aminoácidos deduzidos da MP e da CP foram alinhadas e comparadas com outros isolados. Análises das sequências de nucleotÃdeos da MP e da CP do isolado brasileiro de PNRSV de roseira e outros isolados da mesma hospedeira revelaram altas identidades de 96,7% e 98,6%, respectivamente, sendo o isolado Rose-Br classificado no grupo PV32.

Square lattice Ising model susceptibility: Series expansion method and differential equation for
In a previous paper (J. Phys. A {\bf 37} (2004) 9651-9668) we have given the
Fuchsian linear differential equation satisfied by , the
``three-particle'' contribution to the susceptibility of the isotropic square
lattice Ising model. This paper gives the details of the calculations (with
some useful tricks and tools) allowing one to obtain long series in polynomial
time. The method is based on series expansion in the variables that appear in
the -dimensional integrals representing the -particle contribution to
the isotropic square lattice Ising model susceptibility . The
integration rules are straightforward due to remarkable formulas we derived for
these variables. We obtain without any numerical approximation as
a fully integrated series in the variable , where , with the conventional Ising model coupling constant. We also
give some perspectives and comments on these results.Comment: 28 pages, no figur
