    New Einstein-Hilbert-type Action and Superon-Graviton Model(SGM) of Nature

    Full text link
    A nonlinear supersymmetric(NLSUSY) Einstein-Hilbert(EH)-type new action for unity of nature is obtained by performing the Einstein gravity analogue geomtrical arguments in high symmetry spacetime inspired by NLSUSY. The new action is unstable and breaks down spontaneously into E-H action with matter in ordinary Riemann spacetime. All elementary particles except graviton are composed of the fundamental fermion "superon" of Nambu-Goldstone(NG) fermion of NLSUSY and regarded as the eigenstates of SO(10) super-Poincar\'e (SP) algebra, called superon-graviton model(SGM) of nature. Some phenomenological implications for the low energy particle physics and the cosmology are discussed. The linearization of NLSUSY including N=1 SGM action is attempted explicitly to obtain the linear SUSY local field theory, which is equivalent and renormalizable.Comment: 37 pages, Latex, Based on a talk by K.

    Flexible control of the Peierls transition in metallic C60_{60} polymers

    Full text link
    The metal-semiconductor transition of peanut-shaped fullerene (C60_{60}) polymers is clarified by considering the electron-phonon coupling in the uneven structure of the polymers. We established a theory that accounts for the transition temperature TcT_c reported in a recent experiment and also suggests that TcT_c is considerably lowered by electron doping or prolonged irradiation during synthesis. The decrease in TcT_c is an appealing phenomenon with regard to realizing high-conductivity C60_{60}-based nanowires even at low temperatures.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figure

    Torsion-induced persistent current in a twisted quantum ring

    Get PDF
    We describe the effects of geometric torsion on the coherent motion of electrons along a thin twisted quantum ring. The geometric torsion inherent in the quantum ring triggers a quantum phase shift in the electrons' eigenstates, thereby resulting in a torsion-induced persistent current that flows along the twisted quantum ring. The physical conditions required for detecting the current flow are discussed.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure

    Phase Transition of XY Model in Heptagonal Lattice

    Full text link
    We numerically investigate the nature of the phase transition of the XY model in the heptagonal lattice with the negative curvature, in comparison to other interaction structures such as a flat two-dimensional (2D) square lattice and a small-world network. Although the heptagonal lattice has a very short characteristic path length like the small-world network structure, it is revealed via calculation of the Binder's cumulant that the former exhibits a zero-temperature phase transition while the latter has the finite-temperature transition of the mean-field nature. Through the computation of the vortex density as well as the correlation function in the low-temperature approximation, we show that the absence of the phase transition originates from the strong spinwave-type fluctuation, which is discussed in relation to the usual 2D XY model.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures, to be published in Europhys.

    The volume of Gaussian states by information geometry

    Get PDF
    We formulate the problem of determining the volume of the set of Gaussian physical states in the framework of information geometry. That is, by considering phase space probability distributions parametrized by the covariances and supplying this resulting statistical manifold with the Fisher-Rao metric. We then evaluate the volume of classical, quantum and quantum entangled states for two-mode systems showing chains of strict inclusion

    Geometric effects on critical behaviours of the Ising model

    Get PDF
    We investigate the critical behaviour of the two-dimensional Ising model defined on a curved surface with a constant negative curvature. Finite-size scaling analysis reveals that the critical exponents for the zero-field magnetic susceptibility and the correlation length deviate from those for the Ising lattice model on a flat plane. Furthermore, when reducing the effects of boundary spins, the values of the critical exponents tend to those derived from the mean field theory. These findings evidence that the underlying geometric character is responsible for the critical properties the Ising model when the lattice is embedded on negatively curved surfaces.Comment: 16 pages, 6 figures, to appear in J.

    Manipulating the Tomonaga-Luttinger exponent by electric field modulation

    Full text link
    We establish a theoretical framework for artificial control of the power-law singularities in Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid states. The exponent governing the power-law behaviors is found to increase significantly with an increase in the amplitude of the periodic electric field modulation applied externally to the system. This field-induced shift in the exponent indicates the tunability of the transport properties of quasi-one-dimensional electron systems.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure

    Diffusion on a heptagonal lattice

    Full text link
    We study the diffusion phenomena on the negatively curved surface made up of congruent heptagons. Unlike the usual two-dimensional plane, this structure makes the boundary increase exponentially with the distance from the center, and hence the displacement of a classical random walker increases linearly in time. The diffusion of a quantum particle put on the heptagonal lattice is also studied in the framework of the tight-binding model Hamiltonian, and we again find the linear diffusion like the classical random walk. A comparison with diffusion on complex networks is also made.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure

    The dynamic exponent of the Ising model on negatively curved surfaces

    Get PDF
    We investigate the dynamic critical exponent of the two-dimensional Ising model defined on a curved surface with constant negative curvature. By using the short-time relaxation method, we find a quantitative alteration of the dynamic exponent from the known value for the planar Ising model. This phenomenon is attributed to the fact that the Ising lattices embedded on negatively curved surfaces act as ones in infinite dimensions, thus yielding the dynamic exponent deduced from mean field theory. We further demonstrate that the static critical exponent for the correlation length exhibits the mean field exponent, which agrees with the existing results obtained from canonical Monte Carlo simulations.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figures. to appear in J.
