Comment on: Modular Theory and Geometry
In this note we comment on part of a recent article by B. Schroer and H.-W.
Wiesbrock. Therein they calculate some new modular structure for the
U(1)-current-algebra (Weyl-algebra). We point out that their findings are true
in a more general setting. The split-property allows an extension to
doubly-localized algebras.Comment: 13 pages, corrected versio
The linear tearing instability in three dimensional, toroidal gyrokinetic simulations
Linear gyro-kinetic simulations of the classical tearing mode in
three-dimensional toroidal geometry were performed using the global gyro
kinetic turbulence code, GKW . The results were benchmarked against a
cylindrical ideal MHD and analytical theory calculations. The stability, growth
rate and frequency of the mode were investigated by varying the current
profile, collisionality and the pressure gradients. Both collision-less and
semi-collisional tearing modes were found with a smooth transition between the
two. A residual, finite, rotation frequency of the mode even in the absense of
a pressure gradient is observed which is attributed to toroidal finite
Larmor-radius effects. When a pressure gradient is present at low
collisionality, the mode rotates at the expected electron diamagnetic
frequency. However the island rotation reverses direction at high
collisionality. The growth rate is found to follow a scaling with
collisional resistivity in the semi-collisional regime, closely following the
semi-collisional scaling found by Fitzpatrick. The stability of the mode
closely follows the stability using resistive MHD theory, however a
modification due to toroidal coupling and pressure effects is seen
Thermal correlators of anyons in two dimensions
The anyon fields have trivial -commutator for not integer.
For integer the commutators become temperature-dependent operator
valued distributions. The -point functions do not factorize as for quasifree
states.Comment: 14 pages, LaTeX (misprints corrected, a reference added
Optical Link of the Atlas Pixel Detector
The on-detector optical link of the ATLAS pixel detector contains
radiation-hard receiver chips to decode bi-phase marked signals received on PIN
arrays and data transmitter chips to drive VCSEL arrays. The components are
mounted on hybrid boards (opto-boards). We present results from the irradiation
studies with 24 GeV protons up to 32 Mrad (1.2 x 10^15 p/cm^2) and the
experience from the production.Comment: 9th ICATPP Conference, Como, Ital
Algebraic totality, towards completeness
Finiteness spaces constitute a categorical model of Linear Logic (LL) whose
objects can be seen as linearly topologised spaces, (a class of topological
vector spaces introduced by Lefschetz in 1942) and morphisms as continuous
linear maps. First, we recall definitions of finiteness spaces and describe
their basic properties deduced from the general theory of linearly topologised
spaces. Then we give an interpretation of LL based on linear algebra. Second,
thanks to separation properties, we can introduce an algebraic notion of
totality candidate in the framework of linearly topologised spaces: a totality
candidate is a closed affine subspace which does not contain 0. We show that
finiteness spaces with totality candidates constitute a model of classical LL.
Finally, we give a barycentric simply typed lambda-calculus, with booleans
and a conditional operator, which can be interpreted in this
model. We prove completeness at type for
every n by an algebraic method
Anomalous Scale Dimensions from Timelike Braiding
Using the previously gained insight about the particle/field relation in
conformal quantum field theories which required interactions to be related to
the existence of particle-like states associated with fields of anomalous
scaling dimensions, we set out to construct a classification theory for the
spectra of anomalous dimensions. Starting from the old observations on
conformal superselection sectors related to the anomalous dimensions via the
phases which appear in the spectral decomposition of the center of the
conformal covering group we explore the possibility
of a timelike braiding structure consistent with the timelike ordering which
refines and explains the central decomposition. We regard this as a preparatory
step in a new construction attempt of interacting conformal quantum field
theories in D=4 spacetime dimensions. Other ideas of constructions based on the
- or the perturbative SYM approach in their relation to the
present idea are briefly mentioned.Comment: completely revised, updated and shortened replacement, 24 pages

On separable Fokker-Planck equations with a constant diagonal diffusion matrix
We classify (1+3)-dimensional Fokker-Planck equations with a constant
diagonal diffusion matrix that are solvable by the method of separation of
variables. As a result, we get possible forms of the drift coefficients
providing separability of the
corresponding Fokker-Planck equations and carry out variable separation in the
latter. It is established, in particular, that the necessary condition for the
Fokker-Planck equation to be separable is that the drift coefficients must be linear. We also find the necessary condition for
R-separability of the Fokker-Planck equation. Furthermore, exact solutions of
the Fokker-Planck equation with separated variables are constructedComment: 20 pages, LaTe
Anyons and the Bose-Fermi duality in the finite-temperature Thirring model
Solutions to the Thirring model are constructed in the framework of algebraic
QFT. It is shown that for all positive temperatures there are fermionic
solutions only if the coupling constant is . These fermions are inequivalent and only for they are canonical
fields. In the general case solutions are anyons. Different anyons (which are
uncountably many) live in orthogonal spaces and obey dynamical equations (of
the type of Heisenberg's "Urgleichung") characterized by the corresponding
values of the statistic parameter. Thus statistic parameter turns out to be
related to the coupling constant and the whole Hilbert space becomes
non-separable with a different "Urgleichung" satisfied in each of its sectors.
This feature certainly cannot be seen by any power expansion in .
Moreover, since the latter is tied to the statistic parameter, it is clear that
such an expansion is doomed to failure and will never reveal the true structure
of the theory.
The correlation functions in the temperature state for the canonical dressed
fermions are shown by us to coincide with the ones for bare fields, that is in
agreement with the uniqueness of the -KMS state over the CAR algebra
( being the shift automorphism). Also the -anyon two-point
function is evaluated and for scalar field it reproduces the result that is
known from the literature.Comment: 25 pages, LaTe
