New results for the t-J model in ladders: Changes in the spin liquid state with applied magnetic field. Implications for the cuprates
Exact Diagonalization calculations are presented for the t-J model in the
presence of a uniform magnetic field. Results for 2xL ladders (L=8,10,12) and
4x4 square clusters with 1 and 2 holes indicate that the diamagnetic response
to a perpendicular magnetic field tends to induce a spin liquid state in the
spin background. The zero-field spin liquid state of a two-leg ladder is
reinforced by the magnetic field: a considerable increase of rung
antiferromagnetic correlations is observed for J/t up to 0.6, for 1 and 2
holes. Pair-breaking is also clearly observed in the ladders and seems to be
associated in part with changes promoted by the field in the spin correlations
around the zero-field pair. In the 4x4 cluster, the numerical results seem to
indicate that the field-induced spin liquid state competes with the zero-field
antiferromagnetic short-range-order, the spin liquid state being favored by
higher doping and smaller values of J/t. It is interesting to note that the
field-effect can also be observed in a 2x2 plaquette with 1 and 2 holes. This
opens up the possibility of gaining a qualitative understanding of the effect.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures, latex New results adde

Identification and selection rules of the spin-wave eigen-modes in a normally magnetized nano-pillar
We report on a spectroscopic study of the spin-wave eigen-modes inside an
individual normally magnetized two layers circular nano-pillar
(PermalloyCopperPermalloy) by means of a Magnetic Resonance Force
Microscope (MRFM). We demonstrate that the observed spin-wave spectrum
critically depends on the method of excitation. While the spatially uniform
radio-frequency (RF) magnetic field excites only the axially symmetric modes
having azimuthal index , the RF current flowing through the
nano-pillar, creating a circular RF Oersted field, excites only the modes
having azimuthal index . Breaking the axial symmetry of the
nano-pillar, either by tilting the bias magnetic field or by making the pillar
shape elliptical, mixes different -index symmetries, which can be excited
simultaneously by the RF current. Experimental spectra are compared to
theoretical prediction using both analytical and numerical calculations. An
analysis of the influence of the static and dynamic dipolar coupling between
the nano-pillar magnetic layers on the mode spectrum is performed
Yang-Lee Zeros of the Two- and Three-State Potts Model Defined on Feynman Diagrams
We present both analytic and numerical results on the position of the
partition function zeros on the complex magnetic field plane of the
(Ising) and states Potts model defined on Feynman diagrams
(thin random graphs). Our analytic results are based on the ideas of
destructive interference of coexisting phases and low temperature expansions.
For the case of the Ising model an argument based on a symmetry of the saddle
point equations leads us to a nonperturbative proof that the Yang-Lee zeros are
located on the unit circle, although no circle theorem is known in this case of
random graphs. For the states Potts model our perturbative results
indicate that the Yang-Lee zeros lie outside the unit circle. Both analytic
results are confirmed by finite lattice numerical calculations.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figures. Third version: the title was slightly changed.

Fluctuating Dimension in a Discrete Model for Quantum Gravity Based on the Spectral Principle
The spectral principle of Connes and Chamseddine is used as a starting point
to define a discrete model for Euclidean quantum gravity. Instead of summing
over ordinary geometries, we consider the sum over generalized geometries where
topology, metric and dimension can fluctuate. The model describes the geometry
of spaces with a countable number of points, and is related to the Gaussian
unitary ensemble of Hermitian matrices. We show that this simple model has two
phases. The expectation value . Moreover, the
space-time dimension is a dynamical observable in our model, and plays
the role of an order parameter. The computation of is discussed and
an upper bound is found, .Comment: 10 pages, no figures. Third version: This new version emphasizes the
spectral principle rather than the spectral action. Title has been changed
accordingly. We also reformulated the computation of the dimension, and added
a new reference. To appear in Physical Review Letter
Potencial de armazenamento de sementes de soja transgĂȘnica X convencional.
A soja Roundup Ready (RR) foi a primeira planta transgĂȘnica a ser aprovada para alimentação humana e animal para cultivo no Brasil. No caso da soja resistente ao glyphosate, a tolerĂąncia ao herbicida foi obtida pela inserção de um gene oriundo do genoma da Agrobacterium sp. Sob tratamento com esse herbicida, as plantas de soja nĂŁo sĂŁo afetadas, em virtude da ação continuada e sistemĂĄtica dessa enzima alternativa, insensĂvel ao produto. PorĂ©m, hĂĄ relatos de decrĂ©scimo no potencial de armazenamento de sementes de soja transgĂȘnica, quando comparadas Ă s convencionais. Neste trabalho o objetivo foi avaliar o potencial de armazenamento de sementes de variedades de soja transgĂȘnica (RR), comparativo a suas isolinhas nĂŁo geneticamente modificadas. O potencial fisiolĂłgico (germinação e vigor - envelhecimento acelerado e emergĂȘncia em areia) das variedades transgĂȘnicas foi analisado comparativamente com suas isolinhas em quatro perĂodos de armazenamento, com quatro repetiçÔes cada teste. As avaliaçÔes foram realizadas a cada dois meses. As variedades testadas foram BRS Valiosa RR e sua isolinha BR 46 Conquista; BRS 255 RR e BRS 137; BRS 245 RR e BRS 133. As variedades foram semeadas na mesma Ă©poca e local, com o mesmo manejo cultural. Foi realizada capina manual, a colheita foi realizada em R7 e as plantas foram colocadas para secar a sombra. ApĂłs secas as vagens foram debulhadas manualmente. As sementes foram armazenadas em cĂąmara refrigerada Ă temperatura de 18 ÂșC ± 2 ÂșC e 75% ± 4% de umidade relativa, atĂ© o momento da instalação dos experimentos. NĂŁo ocorreram variaçÔes nos potenciais de armazenamento entre as variedades transgĂȘnicas e suas isolinhas nĂŁo geneticamente modificadas. O decrĂ©scimo do potencial fisiolĂłgico das sementes durante o armazenamento foi em função do qualidade inicial independente da variedade
On the physical interpretation of effective actions using Schwinger's formula
We show explicitly that Schwinger's formula for one-loop effective actions
corresponds to the summation of energies associated with the zero-point
oscillations of the fields. We begin with a formal proof, and after that we
confirm it using a regularization prescription.Comment: 5 p., REVTEX, IF-UFRJ-9
Vacuum Energy and Renormalization on the Edge
The vacuum dependence on boundary conditions in quantum field theories is
analysed from a very general viewpoint. From this perspective the
renormalization prescriptions not only imply the renormalization of the
couplings of the theory in the bulk but also the appearance of a flow in the
space of boundary conditions. For regular boundaries this flow has a large
variety of fixed points and no cyclic orbit. The family of fixed points
includes Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions. In one-dimensional field
theories pseudoperiodic and quasiperiodic boundary conditions are also RG fixed
points. Under these conditions massless bosonic free field theories are
conformally invariant. Among all fixed points only Neumann boundary conditions
are infrared stable fixed points. All other conformal invariant boundary
conditions become unstable under some relevant perturbations. In finite volumes
we analyse the dependence of the vacuum energy along the trajectories of the
renormalization group flow providing an interesting framework for dark energy
evolution. On the contrary, the renormalization group flow on the boundary does
not affect the leading behaviour of the entanglement entropy of the vacuum in
one-dimensional conformally invariant bosonic theories.Comment: 10 pages, 1 eps figur
Particle Creation by a Moving Boundary with Robin Boundary Condition
We consider a massless scalar field in 1+1 dimensions satisfying a Robin
boundary condition (BC) at a non-relativistic moving boundary. We derive a
Bogoliubov transformation between input and output bosonic field operators,
which allows us to calculate the spectral distribution of created particles.
The cases of Dirichlet and Neumann BC may be obtained from our result as
limiting cases. These two limits yield the same spectrum, which turns out to be
an upper bound for the spectra derived for Robin BC. We show that the particle
emission effect can be considerably reduced (with respect to the
Dirichlet/Neumann case) by selecting a particular value for the oscillation
frequency of the boundary position
