Critical properties of an aperiodic model for interacting polymers

We investigate the effects of aperiodic interactions on the critical behavior of an interacting two-polymer model on hierarchical lattices (equivalent to the Migadal-Kadanoff approximation for the model on Bravais lattices), via renormalization-group and tranfer-matrix calculations. The exact renormalization-group recursion relations always present a symmetric fixed point, associated with the critical behavior of the underlying uniform model. If the aperiodic interactions, defined by s ubstitution rules, lead to relevant geometric fluctuations, this fixed point becomes fully unstable, giving rise to novel attractors of different nature. We present an explicit example in which this new attractor is a two-cycle, with critical indices different from the uniform model. In case of the four-letter Rudin-Shapiro substitution rule, we find a surprising closed curve whose points are attractors of period two, associated with a marginal operator. Nevertheless, a scaling analysis indicates that this attractor may lead to a new critical universality class. In order to provide an independent confirmation of the scaling results, we turn to a direct thermodynamic calculation of the specific-heat exponent. The thermodynamic free energy is obtained from a transfer matrix formalism, which had been previously introduced for spin systems, and is now extended to the two-polymer model with aperiodic interactions.Comment: 19 pages, 6 eps figures, to appear in J.

Repetitions in beta-integers

Classical crystals are solid materials containing arbitrarily long periodic repetitions of a single motif. In this paper, we study the maximal possible repetition of the same motif occurring in beta-integers -- one dimensional models of quasicrystals. We are interested in beta-integers realizing only a finite number of distinct distances between neighboring elements. In such a case, the problem may be reformulated in terms of combinatorics on words as a study of the index of infinite words coding beta-integers. We will solve a particular case for beta being a quadratic non-simple Parry number.Comment: 11 page

A note on abscissas of Dirichlet series

[EN] We present an abstract approach to the abscissas of convergence of vector-valued Dirichlet series. As a consequence we deduce that the abscissas for Hardy spaces of Dirichlet series are all equal. We also introduce and study weak versions of the abscissas for scalar-valued Dirichlet series.A.

Tight Binding Hamiltonians and Quantum Turing Machines

This paper extends work done to date on quantum computation by associating potentials with different types of computation steps. Quantum Turing machine Hamiltonians, generalized to include potentials, correspond to sums over tight binding Hamiltonians each with a different potential distribution. Which distribution applies is determined by the initial state. An example, which enumerates the integers in succession as binary strings, is analyzed. It is seen that for some initial states the potential distributions have quasicrystalline properties and are similar to a substitution sequence.Comment: 4 pages Latex, 2 postscript figures, submitted to Phys Rev Letter

Quantum Return Probability for Substitution Potentials

We propose an effective exponent ruling the algebraic decay of the average quantum return probability for discrete Schrodinger operators. We compute it for some non-periodic substitution potentials with different degrees of randomness, and do not find a complete qualitative agreement with the spectral type of the substitution sequences themselves, i.e., more random the sequence smaller such exponent.Comment: Latex, 13 pages, 6 figures; to be published in Journal of Physics

Almost sure-sign convergence of Hardy-type Dirichlet series

[EN] Hartman proved in 1939 that the width of the largest possible strip in the complex plane on which a Dirichlet series is uniformly a.s.- sign convergent (i.e., converges uniformly for almost all sequences of signs epsilon (n) = +/- 1) but does not convergent absolutely, equals 1/2. We study this result from a more modern point of view within the framework of so-called Hardytype Dirichlet series with values in a Banach space.Supported by CONICET-PIP 11220130100329CO, PICT 2015-2299 and UBACyT 20020130100474BA.

Pure point diffraction and cut and project schemes for measures: The smooth case

We present cut and project formalism based on measures and continuous weight functions of sufficiently fast decay. The emerging measures are strongly almost periodic. The corresponding dynamical systems are compact groups and homomorphic images of the underlying torus. In particular, they are strictly ergodic with pure point spectrum and continuous eigenfunctions. Their diffraction can be calculated explicitly. Our results cover and extend corresponding earlier results on dense Dirac combs and continuous weight functions with compact support. They also mark a clear difference in terms of factor maps between the case of continuous and non-continuous weight functions.Comment: 30 page

Log-periodic corrections to scaling: exact results for aperiodic Ising quantum chains

Log-periodic amplitudes of the surface magnetization are calculated analytically for two Ising quantum chains with aperiodic modulations of the couplings. The oscillating behaviour is linked to the discrete scale invariance of the perturbations. For the Fredholm sequence, the aperiodic modulation is marginal and the amplitudes are obtained as functions of the deviation from the critical point. For the other sequence, the perturbation is relevant and the critical surface magnetization is studied.Comment: 12 pages, TeX file, epsf, iopppt.tex, xref.tex which are joined. 4 postcript figure

Interface Fluctuations on a Hierarchical Lattice

We consider interface fluctuations on a two-dimensional layered lattice where the couplings follow a hierarchical sequence. This problem is equivalent to the diffusion process of a quantum particle in the presence of a one-dimensional hierarchical potential. According to a modified Harris criterion this type of perturbation is relevant and one expects anomalous fluctuating behavior. By transfer-matrix techniques and by an exact renormalization group transformation we have obtained analytical results for the interface fluctuation exponents, which are discontinuous at the homogeneous lattice limit.Comment: 14 pages plain Tex, one Figure upon request, Phys Rev E (in print
