On any Calabi-Yau manifold X one can define a certain sheaf of chiral N = 2 superconformal field theories, known as the chiral de Rham complex of X. It depends only on the complex structure of X, and its local structure is described by a simple free field theory. We show that the cohomology of this sheaf can be identified with the infinite-volume limit of the half-twisted sigma-model defined by...

We re-examine the Peierls insulator to Mott insulator transition scenario in the one-dimensional Holstein-Hubbard model where, at half-filling, electron-phonon and electron-electron interactions compete for establishing chargeand spin-density-wave states, respectively. By means of large-scale density-matrix renormalization group calculations we determine the spin, single-particle and two-partic...

We investigate the existence of quantum disentangled liquid (QDL) states in the half-filled Hubbard model on bipartite lattices. In the one dimensional case we employ a combination of integrability and strong coupling expansion methods to argue that there are indeed finite energy-density eigenstates that exhibit QDL behaviour in the sense of J. Stat. Mech. P10010 (2014). The states exhibiting t...

Similarly to the popular voter model, the Deffuant model describes opinion dynamics taking place in spatially structured environments represented by a connected graph. Pairs of adjacent vertices interact at a constant rate. If the opinion distance between the interacting vertices is larger than some confidence threshold ǫ > 0, then nothing happens, otherwise, the vertices’ opinions get closer t...

We report on a quasielastic incoherent neutron scattering (QENS) experiment on liquid glycerol. QENS data were collected at the temperature T=380 K and with a resolution (FWHM) R=55μeV. The analysis of the quasielastic signal enables us to draw a consistent picture of the diffusive mechanism on a picosecond time scale and to compare with most recent models for glycerol dynamics. Model selection...

generally, the measured secondary field data is inverted into resistivity using two principal models; the homogeneous half-space model and the layered half-space model. while the homogeneous half-space inversion uses single frequency data, the inversion is done individually for each of the frequencies used, the multi-layer 1d inversion is able to take the data of all frequencies available into ...

The 2005 British presidency of the European Union, begun in the aftermath of the rejection of the European Constitution by the electorates of France and the Netherlands, brought with it a renewed focus on the challenges of globalization and economic reform. Freed of the Sisiphean task of selling the Constitution to a sceptical British public, the British government moved on to the offensive, ar...

In this article, the correlated basis-function (CBF) method is applied for the first time to the quantum spin-half XY model on the linear chain, the square lattice, and the simple cubic lattice. In this treatment of the quantum spin-half XY model a Jastrow ansatz is utilised to approximate the ground-state wave function. Results for the ground-state energy and the sublattice magnetisation are p...

Due to the interference effects, the intrinsic aerodynamic parameters obtained from the individual component testing are always fundamentally different than those obtained for complete model testing. Consideration and limitation for such testing need to be taken into account in any design work related to the component buildup method. In this paper, the scaled model of a straight rectangular can...

The Kitaev-Hubbard model of interacting fermions is defined on the honeycomb lattice and, at strong coupling, interpolates between the Heisenberg model and the Kitaev model. It is basically a Hubbard model with ordinary hopping t and spin-dependent hopping t ′. We study this model in the weak to intermediate coupling regime, at half filling, using the cellular dynamical impurity approximation (...
