Temperature dependence of η/s of strongly interacting matter: Effects of the equation of state and the parametric form of (η/s)(T)
2020
We investigate the temperature dependence of the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio $\ensuremath{\eta}/s$ using a piecewise linear parametrization. To determine the optimal values of the parameters and the associated uncertainties, we perform a global Bayesian model-to-data comparison on $\mathrm{Au}+\mathrm{Au}$ collisions at $\sqrt{{s}_{\mathrm{NN}}}=200$ GeV and $\mathrm{Pb}+\mathrm{Pb}$ collisions at 2.76 TeV and 5.02 TeV, using a $2+1\mathrm{D}$ hydrodynamical model with the Eskola-Kajantie-Ruuskanen-Tuominen (EKRT) initial state. We provide three new parametrizations of the equation of state (EoS) based on contemporary lattice results and hadron resonance gas, and use them and t…
AdS$_2$/CFT$_1$ correspondence and near-extremal black hole entropy
1999
We provide a realization of the AdS$_2$/CFT$_1$ correspondence in terms of asymptotic symmetries of the AdS$_2\times$S$^1$ and AdS$_2\times$S$^2$ geometries arising in near-extremal BTZ and Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes. Cardy's formula exactly accounts for the deviation of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy from extremality. We also argue that this result can be extended to more general black holes near extremality.
Thermal history and structure of rotating protoneutron stars with relativistic equation of state
1999
We study the properties of general relativistic, slowly rotating, protoneutron stars. We explore the structure of rotating protoneutron stars with a wide range of the entropy per baryon, the lepton fraction and the baryonic mass in order to study the evolutionary history of protoneutron stars during the cooling epoch. We adopt the relativistic equation of state for dense matter derived within the relativistic mean field theory, which is based on the microscopic nuclear many-body framework, and checked by the experimental data of many nuclei. We provide broad information on the effect of rotation, temperature and lepton trapping of protoneutron stars with various baryonic masses. The evoluti…
A Theoretical Model to Describe the Motion of Aerosol Particles Due to the Combined Action of Inertia, Brownian Diffusion and Phoretic and Electric F…
1978
Abstract General principles of non-equilibrium thermodynamics are used to formulate a model which describes the motion of aerosol particles affected simultaneously by Brownian diffusion, inertial impaction, electric forces and phoretic forces. The theory presented applies to an ideal mixture consisting of dry air, water vapor and aerosol particles where temperature, pressure as well as vapor and particle concentration inhomogeneities are to be considered. In addition, the system is subjected to the earth's gravity, to an external electric field as well as to a Coulomb force due to a charged collecting water drop. The basic model assumptions are as follows: 1) the diffusive kinetic energy of…
Thermodynamic Approach to the Self-Diffusiophoresis of Colloidal Janus Particles
2019
Most available theoretical predictions for the self-diffusiophoretic motion of colloidal particles are based on the hydrodynamic thin boundary layer approximation in combination with a solvent body force due to a self-generated local solute gradient. This gradient is enforced through specifying boundary conditions, typically without accounting for the thermodynamic cost to maintain the gradient. Here, we present an alternative thermodynamic approach that exploits a direct link between dynamics and entropy production: the local detailed balance condition. We study two cases: First, we revisit self-propulsion in a demixing binary solvent. At variance with a slip velocity, we find that propuls…
Second inflection point of water surface tension in the deeply supercooled regime revealed by entropy anomaly and surface structure using molecular d…
2019
The surface tension of supercooled water is of fundamental importance in physical chemistry and materials and atmospheric sciences. Controversy, however, exists over its temperature dependence in the supercooled regime, especially on the existence of the second inflection point (SIP). Here, we use molecular dynamics simulations of the SPC/E water model to study the surface tension of water (sigma(w)) as a function of temperature down to 198.15 K, and find a minimum point of surface excess entropy per unit area around approximate to 240-250 K. Additional simulations with the TIP4P/2005 water model also show consistent results. Hence, we predict an SIP of sigma(w) roughly in this region, at t…

Maximum Entropy Limit of Small-scale Magnetic Field Fluctuations in the Quiet Sun
2017
The observed magnetic field on the solar surface is characterized by a very complex spatial and temporal behavior. Although feature-tracking algorithms have allowed us to deepen our understanding of this behavior, subjectivity plays an important role in the identification and tracking of such features. In this paper, we continue studies Gorobets, A. Y., Borrero, J. M., & Berdyugina, S. 2016, ApJL, 825, L18 of the temporal stochasticity of the magnetic field on the solar surface without relying either on the concept of magnetic features or on subjective assumptions about their identification and interaction. We propose a data analysis method to quantify fluctuations of the line-of-sight …
Compact Topological Quantum Groups
1995
Using vector spaces topologies we unify the different models of quantum groups. Duality and reflexivity are built in. The Drinfeld deformation can be extended to the distributions on a simple compact Lie group and dually to the infinitely differentiable functions. The topological quantum double is similarly defined and a uniqueness result is obtained.
Structure Determination by Electron Crystallography Using a Simulation Approach Combined with Maximum Entropy with the Aim of Improving Material Prop…
1997
Solving a crystal structure is only one of the many problems involved in the process of improving material properties. Because it is difficult to obtain large single crystals from most polymeric and many monomeric organic materials, it is essential to develop electron crystallography to make reliable crystal structure analysis possible.
