Functional Integral Bosonization for Impurity in Luttinger Liquid
We use a functional integral formalism developed earlier for the pure
Luttinger liquid (LL) to find an exact representation for the electron Green
function of the LL in the presence of a single backscattering impurity. This
allows us to reproduce results (well known from the bosonization techniques)
for the suppression of the electron local density of states (LDoS) at the
position of the impurity and for the Friedel oscillations at finite
temperature. In addition, we have extracted from the exact representation an
analytic dependence of LDoS on the distance from the impurity and shown how it
crosses over to that for the pure LL.Comment: 7 pages, 1 LaTeX produced figur
Explicit solution of the (quantum) elliptic Calogero-Sutherland model
We derive explicit formulas for the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the
elliptic Calogero-Sutherland model as infinite series, to all orders and for
arbitrary particle numbers and coupling parameters. The eigenfunctions obtained
provide an elliptic deformation of the Jack polynomials. We prove in certain
special cases that these series have a finite radius of convergence in the nome
of the elliptic functions, including the two particle (= Lam\'e) case for
non-integer coupling parameters.Comment: v1: 17 pages. The solution is given as series in q but only to low
order. v2: 30 pages. Results significantly extended. v3: 35 pages. Paper

Temporal Dynamics in Perturbation Theory
Perturbation theory can be reformulated as dynamical theory. Then a sequence
of perturbative approximations is bijective to a trajectory of dynamical system
with discrete time, called the approximation cascade. Here we concentrate our
attention on the stability conditions permitting to control the convergence of
approximation sequences. We show that several types of mapping multipliers and
Lyapunov exponents can be introduced and, respectively, several types of
conditions controlling local stability can be formulated. The ideas are
illustrated by calculating the energy levels of an anharmonic oscillator.Comment: 1 file, 21 pages, RevTex, 2 table
Correlation functions for 1d interacting fermions with spin-orbit coupling
We compute correlation functions for one-dimensional electron systems which
spin and charge degrees of freedom are coupled through spin-orbit coupling.
Charge density waves, spin density waves, singlet- triplet- superconducting
fluctuations are studied. We show that the spin-orbit interaction modify the
exponents and the phase diagram of the system, changing the dominant
fluctuations and making new susceptibilities diverge for low temperature.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures. Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Bootstrapping a Portuguese WordNet from Galician, Spanish and English wordnets
Series: Lecture notes in computer science, ISSN 0302-9743, vol. 8854In this article we exploit the possibility on bootstrapping
an European Portuguese WordNet from the English, Spanish and Galician
wordnets using
Probabilistic Translation Dictionaries automatically created from parallel corpora.
The process generated a total of 56~770 synsets and 97~058 variants.
An evaluation of the results using the Brazilian OpenWordNet-PT as a gold standard
resulted on a precision varying from 53\% to 75\% percent, depending on the
cut-line. The results were satisfying and comparable to similar experiments
using the WN-Toolkit.PEst-OE/EEI/UI0752/2014, TIN2012-38584-C06-01, TIN2012-38584-C06-0
Current status of the 12 MeV UPC race-track microtron
A compact race-track microtron (RTM) with the maximal output energy 12 MeV is under construction at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in collaboration with the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Moscow State University, CIEMAT and a few Spanish industrial companies and medical centers. The RTM end magnets are four-pole systems with the magnetic field created by a rare-earth permanent magnet material. As a source of electrons a 3D off-axis electron gun is used. These elements together with a C-band accelerating structure, dipole magnets, which allow to extract the electron beam with energy from 6 MeV to 12 MeV in 2 MeV step, and a focusing quadrupole are placed inside a vacuum chamber. We report on the current status of the technical design and results of tests of some of the components.Postprint (published version
Maximally-localized Wannier functions for entangled energy bands
We present a method for obtaining well-localized Wannier-like functions (WFs)
for energy bands that are attached to or mixed with other bands. The present
scheme removes the limitation of the usual maximally-localized WFs method (N.
Marzari and D. Vanderbilt, Phys. Rev. B 56, 12847 (1997)) that the bands of
interest should form an isolated group, separated by gaps from higher and lower
bands everywhere in the Brillouin zone. An energy window encompassing N bands
of interest is specified by the user, and the algorithm then proceeds to
disentangle these from the remaining bands inside the window by filtering out
an optimally connected N-dimensional subspace. This is achieved by minimizing a
functional that measures the subspace dispersion across the Brillouin zone. The
maximally-localized WFs for the optimal subspace are then obtained via the
algorithm of Marzari and Vanderbilt. The method, which functions as a
postprocessing step using the output of conventional electronic-structure
codes, is applied to the s and d bands of copper, and to the valence and
low-lying conduction bands of silicon. For the low-lying nearly-free-electron
bands of copper we find WFs which are centered at the tetrahedral interstitial
sites, suggesting an alternative tight-binding parametrization.Comment: 13 pages, with 9 postscript figures embedded. Uses REVTEX and epsf

Global maps of soil temperature.
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and bioclimatic variables at a 1-km <sup>2</sup> resolution for 0-5 and 5-15 cm soil depth. These maps were created by calculating the difference (i.e. offset) between in situ soil temperature measurements, based on time series from over 1200 1-km <sup>2</sup> pixels (summarized from 8519 unique temperature sensors) across all the world's major terrestrial biomes, and coarse-grained air temperature estimates from ERA5-Land (an atmospheric reanalysis by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts). We show that mean annual soil temperature differs markedly from the corresponding gridded air temperature, by up to 10°C (mean = 3.0 ± 2.1°C), with substantial variation across biomes and seasons. Over the year, soils in cold and/or dry biomes are substantially warmer (+3.6 ± 2.3°C) than gridded air temperature, whereas soils in warm and humid environments are on average slightly cooler (-0.7 ± 2.3°C). The observed substantial and biome-specific offsets emphasize that the projected impacts of climate and climate change on near-surface biodiversity and ecosystem functioning are inaccurately assessed when air rather than soil temperature is used, especially in cold environments. The global soil-related bioclimatic variables provided here are an important step forward for any application in ecology and related disciplines. Nevertheless, we highlight the need to fill remaining geographic gaps by collecting more in situ measurements of microclimate conditions to further enhance the spatiotemporal resolution of global soil temperature products for ecological applications
