Hyperspherical partial wave theory applied to electron hydrogen-atom ionization calculation for equal energy sharing kinematics
Hyperspherical partial wave theory has been applied here in a new way in the
calculation of the triple differential cross sections for the ionization of
hydrogen atoms by electron impact at low energies for various
equal-energy-sharing kinematic conditions. The agreement of the cross section
results with the recent absolute measurements of R\"oder \textit {et al} [51]
and with the latest theoretical results of the ECS and CCC calculations [29]
for different kinematic conditions at 17.6 eV is very encouraging. The other
calculated results, for relatively higher energies, are also generally
satisfactory, particularly for large geometries. In view of the
present results, together with the fact that it is capable of describing
unequal-energy-sharing kinematics [35], it may be said that the hyperspherical
partial wave theory is quite appropriate for the description of ionization
events of electron-hydrogen type systems. It is also clear that the present
approach in the implementation of the hyperspherical partial wave theory is
very appropriate.Comment: 16 pages, 9 figures, LaTeX file and EPS figures. To appear in Phys.

Proteinlike behavior of a spin system near the transition between ferromagnet and spin glass
A simple spin system is studied as an analog for proteins. We investigate how
the introduction of randomness and frustration into the system effects the
designability and stability of ground state configurations. We observe that the
spin system exhibits protein-like behavior in the vicinity of the transition
between ferromagnet and spin glass.
Our results illuminate some guiding principles in protein evolution.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure
Statistical distribution of quantum entanglement for a random bipartite state
We compute analytically the statistics of the Renyi and von Neumann entropies
(standard measures of entanglement), for a random pure state in a large
bipartite quantum system. The full probability distribution is computed by
first mapping the problem to a random matrix model and then using a Coulomb gas
method. We identify three different regimes in the entropy distribution, which
correspond to two phase transitions in the associated Coulomb gas. The two
critical points correspond to sudden changes in the shape of the Coulomb charge
density: the appearance of an integrable singularity at the origin for the
first critical point, and the detachement of the rightmost charge (largest
eigenvalue) from the sea of the other charges at the second critical point.
Analytical results are verified by Monte Carlo numerical simulations. A short
account of some of these results appeared recently in Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf
104}, 110501 (2010).Comment: 7 figure
Level Set Method for the Evolution of Defect and Brane Networks
A theory for studying the dynamic scaling properties of branes and
relativistic topological defect networks is presented. The theory, based on a
relativistic version of the level set method, well-known in other contexts,
possesses self-similar ``scaling'' solutions, for which one can calculate many
quantities of interest. Here, the length and area densities of cosmic strings
and domain walls are calculated in Minkowski space, and radiation, matter, and
curvature-dominated FRW cosmologies with 2 and 3 space dimensions. The scaling
exponents agree the naive ones based on dimensional analysis, except for cosmic
strings in 3-dimensional Minkowski space, which are predicted to have a
logarithmic correction to the naive scaling form. The scaling amplitudes of the
length and area densities are a factor of approximately 2 lower than results
from numerical simulations of classical field theories. An expression for the
length density of strings in the condensed matter literature is corrected.Comment: 46pp LaTeX, revtex4(preprint), 1 eps figure, revised for publication.
