Liouville numbers, Liouville sets and Liouville fields

Following earlier work by E.Maillet 100 years ago, we introduce the definition of a Liouville set, which extends the definition of a Liouville number. We also define a Liouville field, which is a field generated by a Liouville set. Any Liouville number belongs to a Liouville set S having the power of continuum and such that the union of S with the rational number field is a Liouville field.Comment: Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, to appea

Liouville Numbers and Schanuel's Conjecture

In this paper, using an argument of P. Erdos, K. Alniacik and E. Saias, we extend earlier results on Liouville numbers, due to P. Erdos, G.J. Rieger, W. Schwarz, K. Alniacik, E. Saias, E.B. Burger. We also produce new results of algebraic independence related with Liouville numbers and Schanuel's Conjecture, in the framework of G delta-subsets.Comment: Archiv der Math., to appea

Superconducting ``metals'' and ``insulators''

We propose a characterization of zero temperature phases in disordered superconductors on the basis of the nature of quasiparticle transport. In three dimensional systems, there are two distinct phases in close analogy to the distinction between normal metals and insulators: the superconducting "metal" with delocalized quasiparticle excitations and the superconducting "insulator" with localized quasiparticles. We describe experimental realizations of either phase, and study their general properties theoretically. We suggest experiments where it should be possible to tune from one superconducting phase to the other, thereby probing a novel "metal-insulator" transition inside a superconductor. We point out various implications of our results for the phase transitions where the superconductor is destroyed at zero temperature to form either a normal metal or a normal insulator.Comment: 18 page

Fermi surfaces in general co-dimension and a new controlled non-trivial fixed point

Traditionally Fermi surfaces for problems in $d$ spatial dimensions have dimensionality $d-1$, i.e., codimension $d_c=1$ along which energy varies. Situations with $d_c >1$ arise when the gapless fermionic excitations live at isolated nodal points or lines. For $d_c > 1$ weak short range interactions are irrelevant at the non-interacting fixed point. Increasing interaction strength can lead to phase transitions out of this Fermi liquid. We illustrate this by studying the transition to superconductivity in a controlled $\epsilon$ expansion near $d_c = 1$. The resulting non-trivial fixed point is shown to describe a scale invariant theory that lives in effective space-time dimension $D=d_c + 1$. Remarkably, the results can be reproduced by the more familiar Hertz-Millis action for the bosonic superconducting order parameter even though it lives in different space-time dimensions.Comment: 4 page

Quasiparticle localization in superconductors with spin-orbit scattering

We develop a theory of quasiparticle localization in superconductors in situations without spin rotation invariance. We discuss the existence, and properties of superconducting phases with localized/delocalized quasiparticle excitations in such systems in various dimensionalities. Implications for a variety of experimental systems, and to the properties of random Ising models in two dimensions, are briefly discussed.Comment: 10 page

Watermark Decoding Technique using Machine Learning for Intellectual Property Protection

The Watermarking is an Intellectual Property (IP) Protection method. It can ensure Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IPs from encroachment. The IP security of equipment and programming structures is the most significant prerequisite for some FPGA licensed innovation merchants. Advanced watermarking has become a creative innovation for IP assurance as of late. This paper proposes the Publicly Verifiable Watermarking plan for licensed innovation insurance in FPGA structure. The Zero-Knowledge Verification Protocol and Data Matrix strategy are utilized in this watermarking location method. The time stepping is likewise utilized with the zero-information check convention and it can versatility oppose the delicate data spillage and implanting assaults, and is along these lines hearty to the cheating from the prover, verifier, or outsider. The encryption keys are additionally utilized with the information lattice technique and it can restrict the watermark, and make the watermark vigorous against assaults. In this proposed zero-information technique zero rate asset, timing and watermarking overhead can be accomplished. The proposed zero-information watermarking plan causes zero overhead. In this proposed information lattice technique signal-rich-workmanship code picture, can be portrayed. The proposed information network watermarking plan encodes the copyright confirmation data. The zero-information confirmation convention and information grid technique proposed in this paper is executed by MATLAB R2014a in which C programming language is utilized in it and ModelSim 10.5b in which VHDL coding is utilized in it, are running on a PC. The combination instrument Xilinx ISE 14.5 is likewise used to confirm and actualize the watermarking plan

CP^1+U(1) Lattice Gauge Theory in Three Dimensions: Phase Structure, Spins, Gauge Bosons, and Instantons

In this paper we study a 3D lattice spin model of CP$^1$ Schwinger-bosons coupled with dynamical compact U(1) gauge bosons. The model contains two parameters; the gauge coupling and the hopping parameter of CP$^1$ bosons. At large (weak) gauge couplings, the model reduces to the classical O(3) (O(4)) spin model with long-range and/or multi-spin interactions. It is also closely related to the recently proposed "Ginzburg-Landau" theory for quantum phase transitions of $s=1/2$ quantum spin systems on a 2D square lattice at zero temperature. We numerically study the phase structure of the model by calculating specific heat, spin correlations, instanton density, and gauge-boson mass. The model has two phases separated by a critical line of second-order phase transition; O(3) spin-ordered phase and spin-disordered phase. The spin-ordered phase is the Higgs phase of U(1) gauge dynamics, whereas the disordered phase is the confinement phase. We find a crossover in the confinement phase which separates dense and dilute regions of instantons. On the critical line, spin excitations are gapless, but the gauge-boson mass is {\it nonvanishing}. This indicates that a confinement phase is realized on the critical line. To confirm this point, we also study the noncompact version of the model. A possible realization of a deconfinement phase on the criticality is discussed for the CP$^N$+U(1) model with larger $N$.Comment: Discussion of finite size scaling, O(4) spin correlation adde
