Ground State Energy for Fermions in a 1D Harmonic Trap with Delta Function Interaction

Conjectures are made for the ground state energy of a large spin 1/2 Fermion system trapped in a 1D harmonic trap with delta function interaction. States with different spin J are separately studied. The Thomas-Fermi method is used as an effective test for the conjecture.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

Edge and bulk merons in double quantum dots with spontaneous interlayer phase coherence

We have investigated nucleation of merons in double quantum dots when a lateral distortion with a reflection symmetry is present in the confinement potential. We find that merons can nucleate both inside and at the edge of the dots. In addition to these merons, our results show that electron density modulations can be also present inside the dots. An edge meron appears to have approximately a half integer winding number.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, Proceedings of 17th International Conference on High Magnetic Fields in Semiconductor Physic

Trace anomalies and chiral Ward identities

In a simple abelian spinor field theory, the canonical trace identities for certain axial-vector and axial-scalar operators are reexamined in dimensional regularization, some disagreements with previous results are found and an interesting new phenomenon is observed and briefly discussed.Comment: 4 pages, no figure, typos remove
