Phase transition in tensionless surfaces.
We study the critical behavior of the Laplacian roughening model, which describes the growth of tensionless surfaces. This type of growth phenomena is very important, for instance, in biological membranes and in molecular beam epitaxy. We summarize previous analytical and numerical results and point out their contradictions and differences, thus making clear the context of our work. Our contrib...
متن کاملNature of the glassy phase of RNA secondary structure
– We characterize the low temperature phase of a simple model for RNA secondary structures by determining the typical energy scale E(l) of excitations involving l bases. At zero temperature, we find a scaling law E(l) ∼ l θ with θ ≈ 0.23, and this same scaling holds at low enough temperatures. Above a critical temperature, there is a different phase characterized by a relatively flat free energ...
متن کاملFluctuations of a (Tensionless) Brane World
We compute the quantum fluctuations of a 3-brane with tension, energy density and stiffness. As a result of the fluctuations there are induced forces between massive objects living on the brane. We study various limiting cases of the induced potential between 2 and 3 massive objects. One quite interesting finding is that for tensionless brane world there are universal (mass independent) 1/r3 fo...
متن کاملThe glassy phase of Gallager codes
Gallager codes are the best error-correcting codes to-date. In this paper we study them by using the tools of statistical mechanics. The corresponding statistical mechanics model is a spin model on a sparse random graph. The model can be solved by elementary methods (i.e. without replicas) in a large connectivity limit. For low enough temperatures it presents a completely frozen glassy phase (q...
متن کاملEquilibrium glassy phase in a polydisperse hard-sphere system.
The phase diagram of a polydisperse hard-sphere system is examined by numerical minimization of a discretized form of the Ramakrishnan-Yussouff free-energy functional. Crystalline and glassy local minima of the free energy are located and the phase diagram in the density-polydispersity plane is mapped out by comparing the free energies of different local minima. The crystalline phase disappears...
