Quantum phases in a doped Mott insulator on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice
We propose the projected BCS wave function as the ground state for the doped
Mott insulator SrCu2(BO3)2 on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice. At half filling
this wave function yields the exact ground state. Adding mobile charge
carriers, we find a strong asymmetry between electron and hole doping. Upon
electron doping an unusual metal with strong valence bond correlations forms.
Hole doped systems are d-wave RVB superconductors in which superconductivity is
strongly enhanced by the emergence of inhomogeneous plaquette bond order.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
PointGrow: Autoregressively Learned Point Cloud Generation with Self-Attention
Generating 3D point clouds is challenging yet highly desired. This work
presents a novel autoregressive model, PointGrow, which can generate diverse
and realistic point cloud samples from scratch or conditioned on semantic
contexts. This model operates recurrently, with each point sampled according to
a conditional distribution given its previously-generated points, allowing
inter-point correlations to be well-exploited and 3D shape generative processes
to be better interpreted. Since point cloud object shapes are typically encoded
by long-range dependencies, we augment our model with dedicated self-attention
modules to capture such relations. Extensive evaluations show that PointGrow
achieves satisfying performance on both unconditional and conditional point
cloud generation tasks, with respect to realism and diversity. Several
important applications, such as unsupervised feature learning and shape
arithmetic operations, are also demonstrated
