Diagrammatic Quantum Monte Carlo for Two-Body Problem: Exciton
We present a novel method for precise numerical solution of the irreducible
two-body problem and apply it to excitons in solids. The approach is based on
the Monte Carlo simulation of the two-body Green function specified by
Feynman's diagrammatic expansion. Our method does not rely on the specific form
of the electron and hole dispersion laws and is valid for any attractive
electron-hole potential. We establish limits of validity of the Wannier (large
radius) and Frenkel (small radius) approximations, present accurate data for
the intermediate radius excitons, and give evidence for the charge transfer
nature of the monopolar exciton in mixed valence materials.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Data of safety in a single-center alemtuzumab treated population
Alemtuzumab is approved for highly active MS and, in Europe, can be employed after other disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) as an escalation approach or first therapeutic option. The occurrence of secondary autoimmune adverse events and infections differs depending on the employed approach. In the manuscript entitled âAlemtuzumab treatment of multiple sclerosis in real-world clinical practice: report from a single Italian centerâ by di Ioia M. and collaborators, efficacy and safety data of alemtuzumab were evaluated in a real-world MS population. The aim of the article is to describe in detail the unexpected serious adverse events which occurred in this cohort during and after the administration of the alemtuzumab treatment. Adverse events were observed in 45,7% of the patients. These events were ranked as severe in 23% of the patients. We reported, in particular, cases of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), pancytopenia, viral hepatitis E and noninfectious meningo-encephalomyelitis
Instanton Calculus and Nonperturbative Relations in N=2 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
Using instanton calculus we check, in the weak coupling region, the
nonperturbative relation =i\pi\left(\cf-{a\over 2}
{\partial\cf\over\partial a}\right) obtained for a N=2 globally
supersymmetric gauge theory. Our computations are performed for instantons of
winding number k, up to k=2 and turn out to agree with previous nonperturbative
results.Comment: 18 pages, latex file, no figure
CUGC for hyperornithinemia-hyperammonemia-homocitrullinuria (HHH) syndrome
From 1999 to date, 50 affecting function variants have been
identified and associated to HHH syndrome [1â5]. As it is
not available in the literature a complete up-to-date list of
disease-causing variants for SLC25A15 gene, we included
this information as a Supplementary Excel sheet (See
Supplementary Material File #1): this list was created by
using LOVD and ClinVar databases and liked to the relevant literature reference. Reported variants consist of: 29
missense variants, 4 frameshift, 11 nonsense, 2 splicing,
2 small deletion, 1 in frame insertion, 1 gross deletion
Notes on Noncommutative Instantons
We study in detail the ADHM construction of U(N) instantons on noncommutative
Euclidean space-time R_{NC}^4 and noncommutative space R_{NC}^2 x R^2. We point
out that the completeness condition in the ADHM construction could be
invalidated in certain circumstances. When this happens, regular instanton
configuration may not exist even if the ADHM constraints are satisfied. Some of
the existing solutions in the literature indeed violate the completeness
condition and hence are not correct. We present alternative solutions for these
cases. In particular, we show for the first time how to construct explicitly
regular U(N) instanton solutions on R_{NC}^4 and on R_{NC}^2 x R^2. We also
give a simple general argument based on the Corrigan's identity that the
topological charge of noncommutative regular instantons is always an integer.Comment: Regular instanton solutions are now explicitly constructed also for
the case of space-space noncommutativit
Sum rules and electrodynamics of high-Tc cuprates in the pseudogap state
We explore connections between the electronic density of states (DOS) in a
conducting system and the frequency dependence of the scattering rate
inferred from infrared spectroscopy. We show that changes in
the DOS upon the development of energy gaps can be reliably tracked through the
examination of the spectra using the sum rules discussed in
the text. Applying this analysis to the charge dynamics in high- cuprates
we found radically different trends in the evolution of the DOS in the
pseudogap state and in the superconducting state.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
The International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO) Version 3.0
[1] The International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO) released its first gridded bathymetric compilation in 1999. The IBCAO bathymetric portrayals have since supported a wide range of Arctic science activities, for example, by providing constraint for ocean circulation models and the means to define and formulate hypotheses about the geologic origin of Arctic undersea features. IBCAO Version 3.0 represents the largest improvement since 1999 taking advantage of new data sets collected by the circum-Arctic nations, opportunistic data collected from fishing vessels, data acquired from US Navy submarines and from research ships of various nations. Built using an improved gridding algorithm, this new grid is on a 500 meter spacing, revealing much greater details of the Arctic seafloor than IBCAO Version 1.0 (2.5 km) and Version 2.0 (2.0 km). The area covered by multibeam surveys has increased from âŒ6% in Version 2.0 to âŒ11% in Version 3.0
The 3-string vertex and the AdS/CFT duality in the PP-wave limit
We pursue the study of string interactions in the PP-wave background and show
that the proposal of hep-th/0211188 can be extended to a full supersymmetric
vertex. Then we compute some string amplitudes in both the bosonic and
fermionic sector, finding agreement with the field theory results at leading
order in lambda'.Comment: Latex, 25 pages. Comments added and typos correcte
