Phase Diagram of the BCC S=1/2 Heisenberg Antiferromagnet with First and Second Neighbor Exchange
We use linked-cluster series expansions, both at T=0 and high temperature, to
analyse the phase structure of the spin-\half Heisenberg antiferromagnet with
competing first and second-neighbor interactions on the 3-dimensional
body-centred-cubic lattice. At zero temperature we find a first-order quantum
phase transition at between AF (Ne\'el)
and AF ordered phases. The high temperature series yield quite accurate
estimates of the bounding critical line for the AF phase, and an apparent
critical line for the AF phase, with a bicritical point at , . The possibility that this latter transition is
first-order cannot be excluded.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
Critical dynamics of the Potts model: short-time Monte Carlo simulations
We calculate the new dinamic exponent of the 4-state Potts model,
using short-time simulations. Our estimates and obtained by following the behavior of the
magnetization or measuring the evolution of the time correlation function of
the magnetization corroborate the conjecture by Okano et. al. In addition,
these values agree with previous estimate of the same dynamic exponent for the
two-dimensional Ising model with three-spin interactions in one direction, that
is known to belong to the same universality class as the 4-state Potts model.
The anomalous dimension of initial magnetization
is calculated by an alternative way that mixes two different initial
conditions. We have also estimated the values of the static exponents
and . They are in complete agreement with the pertinent results of the
literature.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figure
Mixed initial conditions to estimate the dynamic critical exponent in short-time Monte Carlo simulation
We explore the initial conditions in short-time critical dynamics to propose
a new method to evaluate the dynamic exponent z. Estimates are obtained with
high precision for 2D Ising model and 2D Potts model for three and four states
by performing heat-bath Monte Carlo simulations.Comment: Latex paper, 2 eps figure
The K^*_0(800) scalar resonance from Roy-Steiner representations of pi K scattering
We discuss the existence of the light scalar meson K^*_0(800) (also called
kappa) in a rigorous way, by showing the presence of a pole in the pi K --> pi
K amplitude on the second Riemann sheet. For this purpose, we study the domain
of validity of two classes of Roy-Steiner representations in the complex energy
plane. We prove that one of them is valid in a region sufficiently broad in the
imaginary direction. From this representation, we compute the l=0 partial wave
in the complex plane with neither additional approximation nor model
dependence, relying only on experimental data. A scalar resonance with
strangeness S=1 is found with the following mass and width: E_kappa = 658 \pm
13 MeV and Gamma_kappa = 557 \pm 24 MeV.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures. Domain of validity of a Roy-Steiner
representation corrected and enlarged, and features of the K^*_0(800) pole

An alternative order parameter for the 4-state Potts model
We have investigated the dynamic critical behavior of the two-dimensional
4-state Potts model using an alternative order parameter first used by
Vanderzande [J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. \textbf{20}, L549 (1987)] in the study of
the Z(5) model. We have estimated the global persistence exponent by
following the time evolution of the probability that the considered
order parameter does not change its sign up to time . We have also obtained
the critical exponents , , , and using this alternative
definition of the order parameter and our results are in complete agreement
with available values found in literature.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
A comparative study of the dynamic critical behavior of the four-state Potts like models
We investigate the short-time critical dynamics of the Baxter-Wu (BW) and
Turban (3TU) models to estimate their global persistence exponent . We conclude that this new dynamical exponent can be useful in detecting
differences between the critical behavior of these models which are very
difficult to obtain in usual simulations. In addition, we estimate again the
dynamical exponents of the four-state Potts (FSP) model in order to compare
them with results previously obtained for the BW and 3TU models and to decide
between two sets of estimates presented in the current literature. We also
revisit the short-time dynamics of the 3TU model in order to check if, as
already found for the FSP model, the anomalous dimension of the initial
magnetization could be equal to zero
Resonant dipole-dipole interaction in the presence of dispersing and absorbing surroundings
Within the framework of quantization of the macroscopic electromagnetic
field, equations of motion and an effective Hamiltonian for treating both the
resonant dipole-dipole interaction between two-level atoms and the resonant
atom-field interaction are derived, which can suitably be used for studying the
influence of arbitrary dispersing and absorbing material surroundings on these
interactions. The theory is applied to the study of the transient behavior of
two atoms that initially share a single excitation, with special emphasis on
the role of the two competing processes of virtual and real photon exchange in
the energy transfer between the atoms. In particular, it is shown that for weak
atom-field interaction there is a time window, where the energy transfer
follows a rate regime of the type obtained by ordinary second-order
perturbation theory. Finally, the resonant dipole-dipole interaction is shown
to give rise to a doublet spectrum of the emitted light for weak atom-field
interaction and a triplet spectrum for strong atom-field interaction.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figure, RevTE
Energy relaxation of an excited electron gas in quantum wires: many-body electron LO-phonon coupling
We theoretically study energy relaxation via LO-phonon emission in an excited
one-dimensional electron gas confined in a GaAs quantum wire structure. We find
that the inclusion of phonon renormalization effects in the theory extends the
LO-phonon dominated loss regime down to substantially lower temperatures. We
show that a simple plasmon-pole approximation works well for this problem, and
discuss implications of our results for low temperature electron heating
experiments in quantum wires.Comment: 10 pages, RevTex, 4 figures included. Also available at

Observational Constraints on Teleparallel Dark Energy
We use data from Type Ia Supernovae (SNIa), Baryon Acoustic Oscillations
(BAO), and Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observations to constrain the
recently proposed teleparallel dark energy scenario based on the teleparallel
equivalent of General Relativity, in which one adds a canonical scalar field,
allowing also for a nonminimal coupling with gravity. Using the power-law, the
exponential and the inverse hyperbolic cosine potential ansatzes, we show that
the scenario is compatible with observations. In particular, the data favor a
nonminimal coupling, and although the scalar field is canonical the model can
describe both the quintessence and phantom regimes.Comment: 19 pages, 6 figures, version accepted by JCA
