Persistent currents in n–fold twisted Moebius strips

– We investigate the influence of the topology on generic features of the persistent current in n–fold twisted Moebius strips formed of quasi one–dimensional mesoscopic rings, both for free electrons and in the weakly disordered regime. We find that there is no generic difference between the persistent current for untwisted rings and for Moebius strips with an arbitrary number of twists. Introd...

Partition Functions for Potts Antiferromagnets on Square Lattice Strips with (Twisted) Periodic Boundary Conditions

We present exact calculations of the zero-temperature partition function for the q-state Potts antiferromagnet (equivalently, the chromatic polynomial) for two families of arbitrarily long strip graphs of the square lattice with periodic boundary conditions in the transverse direction and (i) periodic (ii) twisted periodic boundary conditions in the longitudinal direction, so that the strip gra...

Xxv. Linguistics Academic and Research Staff

There have been two main traditions in the study of language in modern times. The first is the tradition of "universal" or "philosophical grammar," which flourished in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in intimate connection with philosophy and speculative psychology. The second is the tradition of modern linguistics, a nineteenth and twentieth century phenomenon that was also closely in...
