Nucleons Properties at Finite Lattice Spacing in Chiral Perturbation Theory
Properties of the proton and neutron are studied in partially-quenched chiral
perturbation theory at finite lattice spacing. Masses, magnetic moments, the
matrix elements of isovector twist-2 operators and axial-vector currents are
examined at the one-loop level in a double expansion in the light-quark masses
and the lattice spacing. This work will be useful in extrapolating the results
of simulations using Wilson valence and sea quarks, as well as simulations
using Wilson sea quarks and Ginsparg-Wilson valence quarks, to the continuum.Comment: 16 pages LaTe
Baryon Decuplet to Octet Electromagnetic Transitions in Quenched and Partially Quenched Chiral Perturbation Theory
We calculate baryon decuplet to octet electromagnetic transition form factors
in quenched and partially quenched chiral perturbation theory. We work in the
isospin limit of SU(3) flavor, up to next-to-leading order in the chiral
expansion, and to leading order in the heavy baryon expansion. Our results are
necessary for proper extrapolation of lattice calculations of these
transitions. We also derive expressions for the case of SU(2) flavor away from
the isospin limit.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures, revtex
Hadronic Electromagnetic Properties at Finite Lattice Spacing
Electromagnetic properties of the octet mesons as well as the octet and
decuplet baryons are augmented in quenched and partially quenched chiral
perturbation theory to include O(a) corrections due to lattice discretization.
We present the results for the SU(3) flavor group in the isospin limit as well
as the results for SU(2) flavor with non-degenerate quarks. These corrections
will be useful for extrapolation of lattice calculations using Wilson valence
and sea quarks, as well as calculations using Wilson sea quarks and
Ginsparg-Wilson valence quarks.Comment: 19 pages, 0 figures, RevTeX
Numerical renormalization group study of the 1D t-J model
The one-dimensional (1D) model is investigated using the density matrix
renormalization group (DMRG) method. We report for the first time a
generalization of the DMRG method to the case of arbitrary band filling and
prove a theorem with respect to the reduced density matrix that accelerates the
numerical computation. Lastly, using the extended DMRG method, we present the
ground state electron momentum distribution, spin and charge correlation
functions. The anomaly of the momentum distribution function first
discussed by Ogata and Shiba is shown to disappear as increases. We also
argue that there exists a density-independent beyond which the system
becomes an electron solid.Comment: Wrong set of figures were put in the orginal submissio
Field-induced gap in the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain: A density matrix renormalization group study
We study the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain in both uniform and
(perpendicular) staggered magnetic fields using the density-matrix
renormalization-group method. This model has been shown earlier to describe the
physics of the copper benzoate materials in magnetic field. In the present
work, we extend the study to more general case for a systematic investigation
of the field-induced gap and related properties of the spin-1/2
antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain. In particular, we explore the high magnetic
field regime where interesting behaviors in the field-induced gap,
magnetization, and spin correlation functions are found. Careful examination of
the low energy properties and magnetization reveals interesting competing
effects of the staggered and uniform fields. The incommensurate behavior in the
spin correlation functions is demonstrated and discussed in detail. The present
work reproduces earlier results in good agreement with experimental data on
copper benzoate and predicts new interesting field-induced features at very
high magnetic field.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure

Climate change in Mali en Brazil : towards an evaluation method of climate change and land use policies
The Structure of TGB Phases
We study the transition from the cholesteric phase to two TGB phases near
the upper critical twist : the Renn-Lubensky TGB phase, with layer
normal rotating in a plane perpendicular to the pitch axis, and the Bordeaux
TGB phase, with the layer normal rotating on a cone parallel to the pitch
axis. We calculate properties, including order-parameter profiles, of both
phases.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, Submitted to Physical Review E, Rapid
