Cancellation exponent and multifractal structure in two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics: direct numerical simulations and Lagrangian averaged modeling
We present direct numerical simulations and Lagrangian averaged (also known
as alpha-model) simulations of forced and free decaying magnetohydrodynamic
turbulence in two dimensions. The statistics of sign cancellations of the
current at small scales is studied using both the cancellation exponent and the
fractal dimension of the structures. The alpha-model is found to have the same
scaling behavior between positive and negative contributions as the direct
numerical simulations. The alpha-model is also able to reproduce the time
evolution of these quantities in free decaying turbulence. At large Reynolds
numbers, an independence of the cancellation exponent with the Reynolds numbers
is observed.Comment: Finite size box effects have been taken into account in the
definition of the partition function. This has resulted in a more clear
scaling in all figures. Several points are clarified in the tex
Pseudo-diffusive magnetotransport in graphene
Transport properties through wide and short ballistic graphene junctions are
studied in the presence of arbitrary dopings and magnetic fields. No dependence
on the magnetic field is observed at the Dirac point for any current cumulant,
just as in a classical diffusive system, both in normal-graphene-normal and
normal-graphene-superconductor junctions. This pseudo-diffusive regime is
however extremely fragile respect to doping at finite fields. We identify the
crossovers to a field-suppressed and a normal ballistic transport regime in the
magnetic field - doping parameter space, and provide a physical interpretation
of the phase diagram. Remarkably, pseudo-diffusive transport is recovered away
from the Dirac point in resonance with Landau levels at high magnetic fields.Comment: 4+ pages, 2 figures. Minor corrections. Published version
"Las vías de lo legítimo": Derecho natural y estado católico en la obra de Clemente de Jesús Munguía
Este ensayo busca reinterpretar la respuesta eclesiástica a la reforma liberal mexicana a partir de una nueva lectura de la obra del obispo de Michoacán, Clemente de Jesús Munguía (1810-1868), quien fuera uno de los más agudos y polémicos defensores de la Iglesia mexicana en este período y a quien puede considerarse como uno de los constructores de la ilustración católica mexicana.This essay offers a new interpretation to the ecclesiastical response to the Mexican liberal reform, basaed on a new reading of Bishop, Clemente de Jesús Munguía's works. A fine exponent of the Mexican Catholic Enlightenment, Munguía (1810-1868) was
one of the most insightful emd controversicü defenders of the Church during that troubled period.Publicad
State-of-the-art techniques for calculating spectral functions in models for correlated materials
The dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) has become a standard technique for
the study of strongly correlated models and materials overcoming some of the
limitations of density functional approaches based on local approximations. An
important step in this method involves the calculation of response functions of
a multiorbital impurity problem which is related to the original model.
Recently there has been considerable progress in the development of techniques
based on the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and related matrix
product states (MPS) implying a substantial improvement to previous methods. In
this article we review some of the standard algorithms and compare them to the
newly developed techniques, showing examples for the particular case of the
half-filled two-band Hubbard model.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, to be published in EPL Perspective
