Supertraces on the algebra of observables of the rational Calogero model based on the classical root system
A complete set of supertraces on the algebras of observables of the rational
Calogero models with harmonic interaction based on the classical root systems
of B_N, C_N and D_N types is found. These results extend the results known for
the case A_N. It is shown that there exist Q independent supertraces where
Q(B_N)=Q(C_N) is a number of partitions of N into a sum of positive integers
and Q(D_N) is a number of partitions of N into a sum of positive integers with
even number of even integers.Comment: 10 pages, LATE
Doping dependence of magnetic excitations of 1D cuprates as probed by Resonant Inelastic x-ray Scattering
We study the dynamical, momentum dependent two- and four-spin response
functions in doped and undoped 1D cuprates, as probed by resonant inelastic
x-ray scattering, using an exact numerical diagonalization procedure. In the
undoped system the four-spin response vanishes at , whereas the
two-spin correlator is peaked around , with generally larger spectral
weight. Upon doping spectra tend to soften and broaden, with a transfer of
spectral weight towards higher energy. However, the total spectral weight and
average peak position of either response are only weakly affected by doping up
to a concentration of 1/8. Only the two-spin response at changes
strongly, with a large reduction of spectral weight and enhancement of
excitation energy. At other momenta the higher-energy, generic features of the
magnetic response are robust against doping. It signals the presence of strong
short-range antiferromagnetic correlations, even after doping mobile holes into
the system. We expect this to hold also in higher dimensions.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
The BLG Theory in Light-Cone Superspace
The light-cone superspace version of the d=3, N=8 superconformal theory of
Bagger, Lambert and Gustavsson (BLG) is obtained as a solution to constraints
imposed by OSp(2,2|8) superalgebra. The Hamiltonian of the theory is shown to
be a quadratic form of the dynamical supersymmetry transformation.Comment: 45 pages, v2: reference added, minor typos corrected, published

Absence of helical surface states in bulk semimetals with broken inversion symmetry
Whereas the concept of topological band-structures was developed originally
for insulators with a bulk bandgap, it has become increasingly clear that the
prime consequences of a non-trivial topology -- spin-momentum locking of
surface states -- can also be encountered in gapless systems. Concentrating on
the paradigmatic example of mercury chalcogenides HgX (X = Te, Se, S), we show
that the existence of helical semimetals, i.e. semimetals with topological
surface states, critically depends on the presence of crystal inversion
symmetry. An infinitesimally small broken inversion symmetry (BIS) renders the
helical semimetallic state unstable. The BIS is also very important in the
fully gapped regime, renormalizing the surface Dirac cones in an anisotropic
manner. As a consequence the handedness of the Dirac cones can be flipped by a
biaxial stress field.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
Switchable Quantum Anomalous Hall state in a strongly frustrated lattice magnet
We establish that the interplay of itinerant fermions with localized magnetic
moments on a checkerboard lattice leads to magnetic flux-phases. For weak
itineracy the flux-phase is coplanar and the electronic dispersion takes the
shape of graphene-like Dirac fermions. Stronger itineracy drives the formation
of a non-coplanar, chiral flux-phase, in which the Dirac fermions acquire a
topological mass that is proportional to a ferromagnetic spin polarization.
Consequently the system self-organizes into a ferromagnetic Quantum Anomalous
Hall state in which the direction of its dissipationless edge-currents can be
switched by an applied magnetic field.Comment: 4.5 pages, 3 figure
Self-consistency and collective effects in semiclassical pairing theory
A simple model, in which nuclei are represented as homogeneous spheres of
symmetric nuclear matter, is used to study the effects of a self-consistent
pairing interaction on the nuclear response. Effects due to the finite size of
nuclei are suitably taken into account. The semiclassical equations of motion
derived in a previous paper for the time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov
problem are solved in an improved (linear) approximation in which the pairing
field is allowed to oscillate and to become complex. The new solutions are in
good agreement with the old ones and also with the result of well-known quantum
approaches. The role of the Pauli principle in eliminating one possible set of
solutions is also discussed. The pairing-field fluctuations have two main
effects: they restore the particle-number symmetry which is broken in the
constant- approximation and introduce the possibility of collective
eigenfrequencies of the system due to the pairing interaction. A numerical
study with values of parameters appropriate for nuclei, shows an enhancement of
the density-density strength function in the region of the low-energy giant
octupole resonance, while no similar effect is present in the region of the
high-energy octupole resonance and for the giant monopole and quadrupole
resonances.Comment: 31 pages, 6 eps figure
