Reflection matrices for the vertex model
The graded reflection equation is investigated for the
vertex model. We have found four classes of diagonal
solutions and twelve classes of non-diagonal ones. The number of free
parameters for some solutions depends on the number of bosonic and fermionic
degrees of freedom considered.Comment: 30 page
Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard equations connected with the eight-vertex model
Using quasiclassical limit of Baxter's 8 - vertex R - matrix, an elliptic
generalization of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation is constructed. Via
Off-Shell Bethe ansatz an integrable representation for this equation is
obtained. It is shown that there exists a gauge transformation connecting this
equation with Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard equation for SU(2)-WZNW model on
torus.Comment: 20 pages latex, macro: tcilate
Detection of Anomalous Microwave Emission in the Pleiades Reflection Nebula with WMAP and the COSMOSOMAS Experiment
We present evidence for anomalous microwave emission (AME) in the Pleiades
reflection nebula, using data from the seven-year release of the Wilkinson
Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and from the COSMOSOMAS experiment. The flux
integrated in a 1-degree radius around R.A.=56.24^{\circ}, Dec.=23.78^{\circ}
(J2000) is 2.15 +/- 0.12 Jy at 22.8 GHz, where AME is dominant. COSMOSOMAS data
show no significant emission, but allow to set upper limits of 0.94 and 1.58 Jy
(99.7% C.L.) respectively at 10.9 and 14.7 GHz, which are crucial to pin down
the AME spectrum at these frequencies, and to discard any other emission
mechanisms which could have an important contribution to the signal detected at
22.8 GHz. We estimate the expected level of free-free emission from an
extinction-corrected H-alpha template, while the thermal dust emission is
characterized from infrared DIRBE data and extrapolated to microwave
frequencies. When we deduct the contribution from these two components at 22.8
GHz the residual flux, associated with AME, is 2.12 +/- 0.12 Jy (17.7-sigma).
The spectral energy distribution from 10 to 60 GHz can be accurately fitted
with a model of electric dipole emission from small spinning dust grains
distributed in two separated phases of molecular and atomic gas, respectively.
The dust emissivity, calculated by correlating the 22.8 GHz data with
100-micron data, is found to be 4.36+/-0.17 muK/MJy/sr, a value that is rather
low compared with typical values in dust clouds. The physical properties of the
Pleiades nebula indicate that this is indeed a much less opaque object than
others were AME has usually been detected. This fact, together with the broad
knowledge of the stellar content of this region, provides an excellent testbed
for AME characterization in physical conditions different from those generally
explored up to now.Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ. 12 pages, 8 figure
Quantum computing with incoherent resources and quantum jumps
Spontaneous emission and the inelastic scattering of photons are two natural
processes usually associated with decoherence and the reduction in the capacity
to process quantum information. Here we show that when suitably detected, these
photons are sufficient to build all the fundamental blocks needed to perform
quantum computation in the emitting qubits while protecting them from
deleterious dissipative effects. We exemplify by showing how to teleport an
unknown quantum state and how to efficiently prepare graph states for the
implementation of measurement-based quantum computation.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Cosmological scenarios from multiquintessence
In this work we derive and analyse cosmological scenarios coming from
multi-component scalar field models. We consider a direct sum of a sine-Gordon
with a Z2 model, and also a combination of those with a BNRT model. Moreover,
we work with a modified version of the BNRT model, which breaks the Z2 x Z2
symmetry of the original BNRT potential, coupled with the sine-Gordon and with
the standard Z2 models. We show that our approach can be straightforwardly
elevated to fields. All the computations are made analytically and some
parameters restriction is put forward in order to get in touch with complete
and realistic cosmological scenarios
Bethe ansatz solution of the anisotropic correlated electron model associated with the Temperley-Lieb algebra
A recently proposed strongly correlated electron system associated with the
Temperley-Lieb algebra is solved by means of the coordinate Bethe ansatz for
periodic and closed boundary conditions.Comment: 21 page
On the Temperley-Lieb reflection matrices
This work concerns the boundary integrability of the spin-s
Temperley-Lieb model. A systematic computation method is
used to constructed the solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equations. For
half-integer, a general free parameter solution is presented.
It turns that for integer, the general solution has free
parameters. Moreover, some particular solutions are discussed.Comment: LaTex 17 page
Magnetic exchange mechanism for electronic gap opening in graphene
We show within a local self-consistent mean-field treatment that a random
distribution of magnetic adatoms can open a robust gap in the electronic
spectrum of graphene. The electronic gap results from the interplay between the
nature of the graphene sublattice structure and the exchange interaction
between adatoms.The size of the gap depends on the strength of the exchange
interaction between carriers and localized spins and can be controlled by both
temperature and external magnetic field. Furthermore, we show that an external
magnetic field creates an imbalance of spin-up and spin-down carriers at the
Fermi level, making doped graphene suitable for spin injection and other
spintronic applications.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
