    Anticommutativity Equation in Topological Quantum Mechanics

    Get PDF
    We consider topological quantum mechanics as an example of topological field theory and show that its special properties lead to numerous interesting relations for topological corellators in this theory. We prove that the generating function F\mathcal{F} for thus corellators satisfies the anticommutativity equation (DF)2=0(\mathcal{D}- \mathcal{F})^2=0. We show that the commutativity equation [dB,dB]=0[dB,dB]=0 could be considered as a special case of the anticommutativity equation.Comment: 6 pages, no figures, Late

    Drift of domain walls in a harmonic magnetic field

    Full text link
    It is shown that a two-step form of the dynamic magnetization curve (and the hysteresis loop) established for a multiaxial ferrite-garnet wafer with a low quality factor (Q < 1) and considerable anisotropy in the plane (K p /K u = 14) in the frequency range of 25-1000 Hz is explained by the reconstruction of the dynamic domain structure, particularly by the established features of the drift of domain boundaries in the harmonic magnetic field. © 2013 Allerton Press, Inc

    On Pure Spinor Superfield Formalism

    Full text link
    We show that a certain superfield formalism can be used to find an off-shell supersymmetric description for some supersymmetric field theories where conventional superfield formalism does not work. This "new" formalism contains even auxiliary variables in addition to conventional odd super-coordinates. The idea of this construction is similar to the pure spinor formalism developed by N.Berkovits. It is demonstrated that using this formalism it is possible to prove that the certain Chern-Simons-like (Witten's OSFT-like) theory can be considered as an off-shell version for some on-shell supersymmetric field theories. We use the simplest non-trivial model found in [2] to illustrate the power of this pure spinor superfield formalism. Then we redo all the calculations for the case of 10-dimensional Super-Yang-Mills theory. The construction of off-shell description for this theory is more subtle in comparison with the model of [2] and requires additional Z_2 projection. We discover experimentally (through a direct explicit calculation) a non-trivial Z_2 duality at the level of Feynman diagrams. The nature of this duality requires a better investigation

    Casimir Energy of the Universe and the Dark Energy Problem

    Full text link
    We regard the Casimir energy of the universe as the main contribution to the cosmological constant. Using 5 dimensional models of the universe, the flat model and the warped one, we calculate Casimir energy. Introducing the new regularization, called {\it sphere lattice regularization}, we solve the divergence problem. The regularization utilizes the closed-string configuration. We consider 4 different approaches: 1) restriction of the integral region (Randall-Schwartz), 2) method of 1) using the minimal area surfaces, 3) introducing the weight function, 4) {\it generalized path-integral}. We claim the 5 dimensional field theories are quantized properly and all divergences are renormalized. At present, it is explicitly demonstrated in the numerical way, not in the analytical way. The renormalization-group function (\be-function) is explicitly obtained. The renormalization-group flow of the cosmological constant is concretely obtained.Comment: 12 pages, 13 figures, Proceedings of DSU2011(2011.9.26-30,Beijin

    Experimental and Theoretical Study of Stripe Magnetic Domain Structure Drift in Iron Garnet Crystals

    Full text link
    The results of experimental and theoretical study of magnetic domain structure drift in low frequency oscillating magnetic field oriented perpendicular to the sample plate are presented. Experimental study was performed on uniaxial iron garnet (TbErGd)₃(FeAl)₅O₁₂ (111) plate with rhombic anisotropy for the case when orientation of domain walls of stripe domains is preserved. Dynamic domain structure was revealed by means of magnetooptic Faraday effect and registered by high speed digital camera at the speed equal to 1200 fps. Theoretical model based on the motion equations for coupled harmonic oscillators that takes into account attenuation and field inhomogeneity along the plate is proposed

    Non-intersecting squared Bessel paths and multiple orthogonal polynomials for modified Bessel weights

    Full text link
    We study a model of nn non-intersecting squared Bessel processes in the confluent case: all paths start at time t=0t = 0 at the same positive value x=ax = a, remain positive, and are conditioned to end at time t=Tt = T at x=0x = 0. In the limit nn \to \infty, after appropriate rescaling, the paths fill out a region in the txtx-plane that we describe explicitly. In particular, the paths initially stay away from the hard edge at x=0x = 0, but at a certain critical time tt^* the smallest paths hit the hard edge and from then on are stuck to it. For ttt \neq t^* we obtain the usual scaling limits from random matrix theory, namely the sine, Airy, and Bessel kernels. A key fact is that the positions of the paths at any time tt constitute a multiple orthogonal polynomial ensemble, corresponding to a system of two modified Bessel-type weights. As a consequence, there is a 3×33 \times 3 matrix valued Riemann-Hilbert problem characterizing this model, that we analyze in the large nn limit using the Deift-Zhou steepest descent method. There are some novel ingredients in the Riemann-Hilbert analysis that are of independent interest.Comment: 59 pages, 11 figure

    Deconstructing holographic liquids

    Full text link
    We argue that there exist simple effective field theories describing the long-distance dynamics of holographic liquids. The degrees of freedom responsible for the transport of charge and energy-momentum are Goldstone modes. These modes are coupled to a strongly coupled infrared sector through emergent gauge and gravitational fields. The IR degrees of freedom are described holographically by the near-horizon part of the metric, while the Goldstone bosons are described by a field-theoretical Lagrangian. In the cases where the holographic dual involves a black hole, this picture allows for a direct connection between the holographic prescription where currents live on the boundary, and the membrane paradigm where currents live on the horizon. The zero-temperature sound mode in the D3-D7 system is also re-analyzed and re-interpreted within this formalism.Comment: 21 pages, 2 figure

    Historic buildings and the creation of experiencescapes: looking to the past for future success

    Get PDF
    Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify the role that the creative re-use of historic buildings can play in the future development of the experiences economy. The aesthetic attributes and the imbued historic connotation associated with the building help create unique and extraordinary “experiencescapes” within the contemporary tourism and hospitality industries. Design/methodology/approach: This paper provides a conceptual insight into the creative re-use of historic buildings in the tourism and hospitality sectors, the work draws on two examples of re-use in the UK. Findings: This work demonstrates how the creative re-use of historic buildings can help create experiences that are differentiated from the mainstream hospitality experiences. It also identifies that it adds an addition unquantifiable element that enables the shift to take place from servicescape to experiencescape. Originality/value: There has been an ongoing debate as to the significance of heritage in hospitality and tourism. However, this paper provides an insight into how the practical re-use of buildings can help companies both benefit from and contribute to the experiences economy
