    Absence of Luttinger's Theorem due to Zeros in the Single-Particle Green Function

    We show exactly with an SU(N) interacting model that even if the ambiguity associated with the placement of the chemical potential, μ\mu, for a T=0 gapped system is removed by using the unique value μ(T→0)\mu(T\rightarrow 0), Luttinger's sum rule is violated even if the ground-state degeneracy is lifted by an infinitesimal hopping. The failure stems from the non-existence of the Luttinger-Ward functional for a system in which the self-energy diverges. Since it is the existence of the Luttinger-Ward functional that is the basis for Luttinger's theorem which relates the charge density to sign changes of the single-particle Green function, no such theorem exists. Experimental data on the cuprates are presented which show a systematic deviation from the Luttinger count, implying a breakdown of the electron quasiparticle picture in strongly correlated electron matter.Comment: Published version with supplemental material rebutting the recent criticism that our theorem fails if the ground-state degeneracy is lifte

    Tracking Sources of Enrollment at ETSU through the Use of GIS.

    The objective of this research is to look at fall freshmen enrollment data for East Tennessee State University and see if patterns in the enrollment exist. This paper focuses on fall freshmen enrollment during the years 1997, 2002, and 2007 at ETSU. Once the data were gathered, they were mapped and statistically analyzed using geographic information systems (GIS) and statistical analysis software. Many things were learned from the GIS maps created and statistical analysis. First, the maps showed that from 1997 to 2007, ETSU\u27s enrollment became more consolidated in the East Tennessee region and moved westward into Middle and Western Tennessee. Second, the GIS maps visibly showed that most of the high schools locations were in close proximity to an interstate system. Third, when the statistical analysis was performed the factors high school GPA and in-state tuition were found to be significant to enrollment

    Agricultural spray droplet dispersion in turbulent windflow

    Off-target contamination (or spray drift) during agricultural chemical application, arising from removal of small (diameter < 100 m) droplets from sprays by atmospheric or vehicle-generated cross flows, is investigated experimentally. The primary requirement for realistic wind tunnel studies is identified from background review as matching the full-scale logarithmic man velocity profile with suitable surface roughness parameters. A general calculation scheme is presented for spacing horizontal flat plates to simulate weakly-sheared mean velocity profiles. Adequate full-scale matching of logarithmic mean velocity profiles is achieved after systematic equipment modification. Comparative field and wind tunnel experiments using single nozzles show adequate agreement following the above approach, indicating that air entrained into the liquid spray stabilizes the spray to the cross flow action. Measurements within an agricultural spray in still air show that small droplets are passively transported within the entrained air field, whose characteristic turbulence length scale is too small to contribute to droplet dispersion. Wind tunnel studies employing conventional sprays show small droplet removal associated with regions where the entrained air velocity is less than the cross flow velocity, with essentially passive downwind transport. Numerical simulations of spray drift must clearly incorporate characteristics of the entrained air velocity field
