SU(4) Spin-Orbital Two-Leg Ladder, Square and Triangle Lattices
Based on the generalized valence bond picture, a Schwinger boson mean field
theory is applied to the symmetric SU(4) spin-orbital systems. For a two-leg
SU(4) ladder, the ground state is a spin-orbital liquid with a finite energy
gap, in good agreement with recent numerical calculations. In two-dimensional
square and triangle lattices, the SU(4) Schwinger bosons condense at
(\pi/2,\pi/2) and (\pi/3,\pi/3), respectively. Spin, orbital, and coupled
spin-orbital static susceptibilities become singular at the wave vectors, twice
of which the bose condensation arises at. It is also demonstrated that there
are spin, orbital, and coupled spin-orbital long-range orderings in the ground
state.Comment: 5 page
Generalized hole-particle transformations and spin reflection positivity in multi-orbital systems
We propose a scheme combining spin reflection positivity and generalized
hole-particle and orbital transformations to characterize the symmetry
properties of the ground state for some correlated electron models on bipartite
lattices. In particular, we rigorously determine at half-filling and for
different regions of the parameter space the spin, orbital and pairing
pseudospin of the ground state of generalized two-orbital Hubbard models which
include the Hund's rule coupling.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure
Multiple sources of infection and potential endemic characteristics of the large outbreak of dengue in Guangdong in 2014
A large outbreak of dengue, with the most documented cases, occurred in Guangdong China in 2014. Epidemiological studies and phylogenetic analysis of the isolated dengue virus (DENV) showed this outbreak was attributed to multiple sources and caused by at least two genotypes of DENV-1 (Genotypes I and III) and two genotypes of DENV-2 (Cosmopolitan and Asian I Genotypes). A retrospective review and phylogenetic analysis of DENV isolated in Guangdong showed that DENV-1 Genotype I strains were reported continuously during 2004-2014, Genotype III strains were reported during 2009-2014 ; DENV-2 Cosmopolitan and Asian I Genotype strains were reported continuously during 2012-2014. At least 45,171 cases were reported in this outbreak, with 65.9% of the patients in the 21-55-year-old group. A trend toward a decrease in the daily newly emerged cases lagged by approximately 20 days compared with the mosquito density curve. Several epidemiological characteristics of this outbreak and the stably sustained serotypes and genotypes of DENV isolated in Guangdong suggest that Guangdong has been facing a threat of transforming from a dengue epidemic area to an endemic area. The high temperature, drenching rain, rapid urbanization, and pandemic of dengue in Southeast Asia may have contributed to this large outbreak of dengue
Essential Role of the Cooperative Lattice Distortion in the Charge, Orbital and Spin Ordering in doped Manganites
The role of lattice distortion in the charge, orbital and spin ordering in
half doped manganites has been investigated. For fixed magnetic ordering, we
show that the cooperative lattice distortion stabilize the experimentally
observed ordering even when the strong on-site electronic correlation is taken
into account. Furthermore, without invoking the magnetic interactions, the
cooperative lattice distortion alone may lead to the correct charge and orbital
ordering including the charge stacking effect, and the magnetic ordering can be
the consequence of such a charge and orbital ordering. We propose that the
cooperative nature of the lattice distortion is essential to understand the
complicated charge, orbital and spin ordering observed in doped manganites.Comment: 5 pages,4 figure
Aspects of the FM Kondo Model: From Unbiased MC Simulations to Back-of-an-Envelope Explanations
Effective models are derived from the ferromagnetic Kondo lattice model with
classical corespins, which greatly reduce the numerical effort. Results for
these models are presented. They indicate that double exchange gives the
correct order of magnitude and the correct doping dependence of the Curie
temperature. Furthermore, we find that the jump in the particle density
previously interpreted as phase separation is rather explained by ferromagnetic
polarons.Comment: Proceedings of Wandlitz Days of Magnetism 200
Antiferromagnetism in the Exact Ground State of the Half Filled Hubbard Model on the Complete-Bipartite Graph
As a prototype model of antiferromagnetism, we propose a repulsive Hubbard
Hamiltonian defined on a graph \L={\cal A}\cup{\cal B} with and bonds connecting any element of with all the
elements of . Since all the hopping matrix elements associated with
each bond are equal, the model is invariant under an arbitrary permutation of
the -sites and/or of the -sites. This is the Hubbard model
defined on the so called -complete-bipartite graph,
() being the number of elements in (). In this
paper we analytically find the {\it exact} ground state for at
half filling for any ; the repulsion has a maximum at a critical
-dependent value of the on-site Hubbard . The wave function and the
energy of the unique, singlet ground state assume a particularly elegant form
for N \ra \inf. We also calculate the spin-spin correlation function and show
that the ground state exhibits an antiferromagnetic order for any non-zero
even in the thermodynamic limit. We are aware of no previous explicit analytic
example of an antiferromagnetic ground state in a Hubbard-like model of
itinerant electrons. The kinetic term induces non-trivial correlations among
the particles and an antiparallel spin configuration in the two sublattices
comes to be energetically favoured at zero Temperature. On the other hand, if
the thermodynamic limit is taken and then zero Temperature is approached, a
paramagnetic behavior results. The thermodynamic limit does not commute with
the zero-Temperature limit, and this fact can be made explicit by the analytic
solutions.Comment: 19 pages, 5 figures .ep
Proper weak-coupling approach to the periodic s-d(f) exchange model
The periodic s-d(f) exchange model is characterized by a wide variety of
interesting applications, a simple mathematical structure and a limited number
of reliable approximations which take care of the quantum nature of the
participating spins. We suggest the use of a projection-operator method for
getting information perturbationally, which are not accessible via diagrammatic
approaches. In this paper we present in particular results beyond perturbation
theory, which are obtained such that almost all exactly known limiting cases
are incorporated correctly. We discuss a variety of possible methods and
evaluate their consequences for one-particle properties. These considerations
serve as a guideline for a more effective approach to the model.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures; accepted by Phys. Rev.

Higher order WKB corrections to black hole entropy in brick wall formalism
We calculate the statistical entropy of a quantum field with an arbitrary
spin propagating on the spherical symmetric black hole background by using the
brick wall formalism at higher orders in the WKB approximation. For general
spins, we find that the correction to the standard Bekenstein-Hawking entropy
depends logarithmically on the area of the horizon. Furthermore, we apply this
analysis to the Schwarzschild and Schwarzschild-AdS black holes and discuss our
results.Comment: 21 pages, published versio
