Strongly correlated states of trapped ultracold fermions in deformed Landau levels
2015
We analyze the strongly correlated regime of a two-component trapped ultracold fermionic gas in a synthetic non-Abelian U(2) gauge potential, that consists of both a magnetic field and a homogeneous spin-orbit coupling. This gauge potential deforms the Landau levels (LLs) with respect to the Abelian case and exchanges their ordering as a function of the spin-orbit coupling. In view of experimental realizations, we show that a harmonic potential combined with a Zeeman term, gives rise to an angular momentum term, which can be used to test the stability of the correlated states obtained through interactions. We derive the Haldane pseudopotentials (HPs) describing the interspecies contact inte…
Free fields via canonical transformations of matter-coupled two-dimensional dilaton gravity models
1998
It is shown that the 1+1-dimensional matter-coupled Jackiw-Teitelboim model and the model with an exponential potential can be converted by means of appropriate canonical transformations into a bosonic string theory propagating on a flat target space with an indefinite signature. This makes it possible to consistently quantize these models in the functional Schroedinger representation thus generalizing recent results on CGHS theory.
Neutrino Pair Synchrotron Radiation from Relativistic Electrons in Strong Magnetic Fields
1995
The emissivity for the neutrino pair synchrotron radiation in strong magnetic fields has been calculated both analytically and numerically for high densities and moderate temperatures, as can be found in neutron stars. Under these conditions, the electrons are relativistic and degenerate. We give here our results in terms of an universal function of a single variable. For two different regimes of the electron gas we present a simplified calculation and compare our results to those of Kaminker et al. Agreement is found for the classical region, where many Landau levels contribute to the emissivity , but some differences arise in the quantum regime. One finds that the emissivity for neutrino …
Stability of spin droplets in realistic quantum Hall devices
2013
We study the formation and characteristics of "spin droplets",i.e., compact spin-polarized configurations in the highest occupied Landau level, in an etched quantum Hall device at filling factors $2\leq\nu\leq3$. The confining potential for electrons is obtained with self-consistent electrostatic calculations on a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure with experimental system parameters. Real-space spin-density-functional calculations for electrons confined in the obtained potential show the appearance of stable spin droplets at $\nu\sim 5/2$. The qualitative features of the spin droplet are similar to those in idealized (parabolic) quantum-dot systems. The universal stability of the state against ge…
Metal Clusters, Quantum Dots, and Trapped Atoms
2010
In this chapter, we discuss the electronic structure of finite quantal systems on the nanoscale. After a few general remarks on the many-particle physics of the harmonic oscillator, likely being the most studied example for the many-body systems of finite quantal systems, we turn to the electronic structure of metal clusters. We discuss Jahn–Teller deformations for the so-called “ultimate” jellium model which assumes a complete cancelation of the electronic charge with the ionic background. Within this model, we are also able to understand the stable electronic shell structure of tetrahedral (three-dimensional) or triangular (two-dimensional [2D]) cluster geometries, resembling closed shell…
Electronic and acoustic-phonon inter-Landau-level Raman scattering in GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs multiple quantum wells
1995
We present an experimental study of inter-Landau-level excitations in undoped GaAs/${\mathrm{Al}}_{\mathit{x}}$${\mathrm{Ga}}_{1\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathit{x}}$As multiple quantum wells in high magnetic fields by means of Raman scattering. The experiments were performed in Faraday backscattering geometry with the field along the growth axis, using circularly polarized light for resonant excitation of low-index magneto-optical transitions between Landau levels. We observe two types of peaks. One of them, present in both Stokes and anti-Stokes regions at a constant Raman shift, corresponds to the electron cyclotron energy. We attribute it to electronic Raman scattering from a quasistationa…
Unitarity, Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin symmetry, and Ward identities in orbifold gauge theories
2004
We discuss the use of BRST symmetry and the resulting Ward identities as consistency checks for orbifold gauge theories in an arbitrary number of dimensions. We demonstrate that both the usual orbifold symmetry breaking and the recently proposed Higgsless symmetry breaking are consistent with the nilpotency of the BRST transformation. The corresponding Ward identities for four-point functions of the theory engender relations among the coupling constants that are equivalent to the sum rules from tree level unitarity. We present the complete set of these sum rules also for inelastic scattering and discuss applications to six-dimensional models and to incomplete matter multiplets on orbifold f…
Landau Fermi Liquid Theory and Beyond
2014
In this chapter we consider the Landau theory of the Fermi liquid that has a long history and remarkable results in describing a numerous properties of the electron liquid in ordinary metals and Fermi liquids of the \(^3\)He type. The theory is based on the assumption that elementary excitations determine the physics at low temperatures, resembling that of weakly interacting Fermi gas. These excitations behave as quasiparticles with a certain effective mass. The effective mass \(M^*\) exhibits a simple universal behavior, for it is independent of the temperature, pressure, and magnetic field strength and is a parameter of the theory. Microscopically deriving the equation determining the eff…
Multi-Resolution Analysis and Fractional Quantum Hall Effect: More Results
2009
In a previous paper we have proven that any multi-resolution analysis of $L^2(\R)$ produces, for even values of the inverse filling factor and for a square lattice, a single-electron wave function of the lowest Landau level (LLL) which, together with its (magnetic) translated, gives rise to an orthonormal set in the LLL. We have also discussed the inverse construction. In this paper we simplify the procedure, clarifying the role of the kq-representation. Moreover, we extend our previous results to the more physically relevant case of a triangular lattice and to odd values of the inverse filling factor. We also comment on other possible shapes of the lattice as well as on the extension to ot…
Multi-Resolution Analysis and Fractional Quantum Hall Effect: an Equivalence Result
2001
In this paper we prove that any multi-resolution analysis of $\Lc^2(\R)$ produces, for some values of the filling factor, a single-electron wave function of the lowest Landau level (LLL) which, together with its (magnetic) translated, gives rise to an orthonormal set in the LLL. We also give the inverse construction. Moreover, we extend this procedure to the higher Landau levels and we discuss the analogies and the differences between this procedure and the one previously proposed by J.-P. Antoine and the author.
