Electron Transport in Double Quantum Dot governed by Nuclear Magnetic Field

We investigate theoretically electron transfer in a doble dot in a situation where it is governed by nuclear magnetic field: This has been recently achieved in experiment. We show how to partially compensate the nuclear magnetic field to restore Spin Blockade

The Effect of Mechanical Resonance on Josephson Dynamics

We study theoretically dynamics in a Josephson junction coupled to a mechanical resonator looking at the signatures of the resonance in d.c. electrical response of the junction. Such a system can be realized experimentally as a suspended ultra-clean carbon nanotube brought in contact with two superconducting leads. A nearby gate electrode can be used to tune the junction parameters and to excite mechanical motion. We augment theoretical estimations with the values of setup parameters measured in the samples fabricated. We show that charging effects in the junction give rise to a mechanical force that depends on the superconducting phase difference. The force can excite the resonant mode provided the superconducting current in the junction has oscillating components with a frequency matching the resonant frequency of the mechanical resonator. We develop a model that encompasses the coupling of electrical and mechanical dynamics. We compute the mechanical response (the effect of mechanical motion) in the regime of phase bias and d.c. voltage bias. We thoroughly investigate the regime of combined a.c. and d.c. bias where Shapiro steps are developed and reveal several distinct regimes characteristic for this effect. Our results can be immediately applied in the context of experimental detection of the mechanical motion in realistic superconducting nano-mechanical devices.Comment: 18 pages, 11 figure

Casimir elements from the Brauer-Schur-Weyl duality

We consider Casimir elements for the orthogonal and symplectic Lie algebras constructed with the use of the Brauer algebra. We calculate the images of these elements under the Harish-Chandra isomorphism and thus show that they (together with the Pfaffian-type element in the even orthogonal case) are algebraically independent generators of the centers of the corresponding universal enveloping algebras.Comment: 19 page

On irreducibility of tensor products of evaluation modules for the quantum affine algebra

Every irreducible finite-dimensional representation of the quantized enveloping algebra U_q(gl_n) can be extended to the corresponding quantum affine algebra via the evaluation homomorphism. We give in explicit form the necessary and sufficient conditions for irreducibility of tensor products of such evaluation modules.Comment: 22 pages. Some references are adde

Irreducibility of fusion modules over twisted Yangians at generic point

With any skew Young diagram one can associate a one parameter family of "elementary" modules over the Yangian \Yg(\g\l_N). Consider the twisted Yangian \Yg(\g_N)\subset \Yg(\g\l_N) associated with a classical matrix Lie algebra \g_N\subset\g\l_N. Regard the tensor product of elementary Yangian modules as a module over \Yg(\g_N) by restriction. We prove its irreducibility for generic values of the parameters.Comment: Replaced with journal version, 18 page
