    Short Distance Expansion from the Dual Representation of Infinite Dimensional Lie Algebras

    Full text link
    We compute the short distance expansion of fields or operators that live in the coadjoint representation of an infinite dimensional Lie algebra by using only properties of the adjoint representation and its dual. We explicitly compute the short distance expansion for the duals of the Virasoro algebra, affine Lie Algebras and the geometrically realized N-extended supersymmetric GR Virasoro algebra.Comment: 19 pages, LaTeX twice, no figure, replacement has corrected Lie algebr

    Superspace Geometrical Realization of the N-Extended Super Virasoro Algebra and its Dual

    Get PDF
    We derive properties of N-extended GR super Virasoro algebras. These include adding central extensions, identification of all primary fields and the action of the adjoint representation on its dual. The final result suggest identification with the spectrum of fields in supergravity theories and superstring/M-theory constructed from NSR N-extended supersymmetric GR{\cal {GR}} Virasoro algebras.Comment: 17 pages Latex Typos in TeX file has been correcte

    Stretched exponentials and power laws in granular avalanching

    Get PDF
    We introduce a model for granular avalanching which exhibits both stretched exponential and power law avalanching over its parameter range. Two modes of transport are incorporated, a rolling layer consisting of individual particles and the overdamped, sliding motion of particle clusters. The crossover in behaviour observed in experiments on piles of rice is attributed to a change in the dominant mode of transport. We predict that power law avalanching will be observed whenever surface flow is dominated by clustered motion. Comment: 8 pages, more concise and some points clarified

    A Numerical Study of the Hierarchical Ising Model: High Temperature Versus Epsilon Expansion

    Full text link
    We study numerically the magnetic susceptibility of the hierarchical model with Ising spins (σ=±1\sigma =\pm 1) above the critical temperature and for two values of the epsilon parameter. The integrations are performed exactly, using recursive methods which exploit the symmetries of the model. Lattices with up to 2182^18 sites have been used. Surprisingly, the numerical data can be fitted very well with a simple power law of the form (1−β/βc)−γ(1- \beta /\beta _c )^{- \gamma} for the {\it whole} temperature range. The numerical values for γ\gamma agree within a few percent with the values calculated with a high-temperature expansion but show significant discrepancies with the epsilon-expansion. We would appreciate comments about these results.Comment: 15 Pages, 12 Figures not included (hard copies available on request), uses phyzzx.te

    Irreversible Deposition of Line Segment Mixtures on a Square Lattice: Monte Carlo Study

    Full text link
    We have studied kinetics of random sequential adsorption of mixtures on a square lattice using Monte Carlo method. Mixtures of linear short segments and long segments were deposited with the probability pp and 1−p1-p, respectively. For fixed lengths of each segment in the mixture, the jamming limits decrease when pp increases. The jamming limits of mixtures always are greater than those of the pure short- or long-segment deposition. For fixed pp and fixed length of the short segments, the jamming limits have a maximum when the length of the long segment increases. We conjectured a kinetic equation for the jamming coverage based on the data fitting.Comment: 7 pages, latex, 5 postscript figure

    Spectral Statistics of Instantaneous Normal Modes in Liquids and Random Matrices

    Full text link
    We study the statistical properties of eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix H{\cal H} (matrix of second derivatives of the potential energy) for a classical atomic liquid, and compare these properties with predictions for random matrix models (RMM). The eigenvalue spectra (the Instantaneous Normal Mode or INM spectra) are evaluated numerically for configurations generated by molecular dynamics simulations. We find that distribution of spacings between nearest neighbor eigenvalues, s, obeys quite well the Wigner prediction sexp(−s2)s exp(-s^2), with the agreement being better for higher densities at fixed temperature. The deviations display a correlation with the number of localized eigenstates (normal modes) in the liquid; there are fewer localized states at higher densities which we quantify by calculating the participation ratios of the normal modes. We confirm this observation by calculating the spacing distribution for parts of the INM spectra with high participation ratios, obtaining greater conformity with the Wigner form. We also calculate the spectral rigidity and find a substantial dependence on the density of the liquid.Comment: To appear in Phys. Rev. E; 10 pages, 6 figure
