Holomorphic harmonic analysis on complex reductive groups

We define the holomorphic Fourier transform of holomorphic functions on complex reductive groups, prove some properties like the Fourier inversion formula, and give some applications. The definition of the holomorphic Fourier transform makes use of the notion of $K$-admissible measures. We prove that $K$-admissible measures are abundant, and the definition of holomorphic Fourier transform is independent of the choice of $K$-admissible measures.Comment: 15 pages, revision of a preprint by the first author in 200

Chiral anomaly and anomalous finite-size conductivity in graphene

Graphene is a monolayer of carbon atoms packed into a hexagon lattice to host two pairs of massless two-dimensional Dirac fermions in the absence of or with negligible spin-orbit coupling. It is known that the existence of non-zero electric polarization in reduced momentum space which is associated with a hidden chiral symmetry will lead to the zero-energy flat band of zigzag nanoribbon. The Adler-Bell-Jackiw chiral anomaly or non-conservation of chiral charges at different valleys can be realized in a confined ribbon of finite width. In the laterally diffusive regime, the finite-size correction to conductivity is always positive and goes inversely with the square of the lateral dimension W, which is different from the finite-size correction inversely with W from boundary modes. This anomalous finite-size conductivity reveals the signature of the chiral anomaly in graphene, and is measurable experimentally.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure

Maximum weight triangulation of a special convex polygon

In this paper, we investigate the maximum weight triangulation of a special convex polygon, called `semi-circled convex polygon'. We prove that the maximum weight triangulation of such a polygon can be found in O(n2) time.Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of CanadaNational Natural Science Foundation of Chin
