Correlation of primary relaxations and high-frequency modes in supercooled liquids. I. Theoretical background of a nuclear magnetic resonance experim…
2006
The question regarding a possible correlation of the time scales of primary and secondary relaxations in supercooled liquids is formulated quantitatively. It is shown how this question can be answered using spin-lattice relaxation weighted stimulated-echo experiments, which are presented in an accompanying paper [A. Nowaczyk, B. Geil, G. Hinze, and R. Böhmer, Phys. Rev. E 74, 041505 (2006)]. General theoretical expressions relevant for the description of such experiments in the presence of correlation effects are derived. These expressions are analyzed by Monte Carlo integration for various correlation scenarios also including exchange processes, which are the hallmark of dynamical heteroge…
Exponents of non-linear clustering in scale-free one-dimensional cosmological simulations
2012
One dimensional versions of cosmological N-body simulations have been shown to share many qualitative behaviours of the three dimensional problem. They can resolve a large range of time and length scales, and admit exact numerical integration. We use such models to study how non-linear clustering depends on initial conditions and cosmology. More specifically, we consider a family of models which, like the 3D EdS model, lead for power-law initial conditions to self-similar clustering characterized in the strongly non-linear regime by power-law behaviour of the two point correlation function. We study how the corresponding exponent \gamma depends on the initial conditions, characterized by th…
Rotational Motion of Linear Molecules in Three Dimensions. A Path-Integral Monte Carlo Approach
1994
Abstract A path-integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulation method for the rotational motion of linear molecules in three dimensions is presented. The technique is applied to an H2 impurity in a static crystal-field. The resulting orientational distributions from quantum and classical simulations are obtained and discussed. The algorithm suffers from the “sign problem” of quantum simulations. However, as can be seen by comparing the low temperature simulation result to the variational solution of the Schrodinger equation, the PIMC method captures the quantum fluctuations.
Tree-Loop Duality Relation beyond simple poles
2013
We develop the Tree-Loop Duality Relation for two- and three-loop integrals with multiple identical propagators (multiple poles). This is the extension of the Duality Relation for single poles and multi-loop integrals derived in previous publications. We prove a generalization of the formula for single poles to multiple poles and we develop a strategy for dealing with higher-order pole integrals by reducing them to single pole integrals using Integration By Parts.
Feynman diagrams as a weight system: four-loop test of a four-term relation
1996
At four loops there first occurs a test of the four-term relation derived by the second author in the course of investigating whether counterterms from subdivergence-free diagrams form a weight system. This test relates counterterms in a four-dimensional field theory with Yukawa and $\phi^4$ interactions, where no such relation was previously suspected. Using integration by parts, we reduce each counterterm to massless two-loop two-point integrals. The four-term relation is verified, with $ = 0 - 3\zeta_3 + 6\zeta_3 - 3\zeta_3 = 0$, demonstrating non-trivial cancellation of the trefoil knot and thus supporting the emerging connection between knots and counterterms, via transcendental number…
Complete sets of logarithmic vector fields for integration-by-parts identities of Feynman integrals
2018
Integration-by-parts identities between loop integrals arise from the vanishing integration of total derivatives in dimensional regularization. Generic choices of total derivatives in the Baikov or parametric representations lead to identities which involve dimension shifts. These dimension shifts can be avoided by imposing a certain constraint on the total derivatives. The solutions of this constraint turn out to be a specific type of syzygies which correspond to logarithmic vector fields along the Gram determinant formed of the independent external and loop momenta. We present an explicit generating set of solutions in Baikov representation, valid for any number of loops and external mome…
Photoreactions with tensor-polarized deuterium target at VEPP–3
2011
We give an overview of the activity in studying photoprocesses on a tensor-polarized deuterium target, which is carried out at the VEPP–3 electron storage ring. Recent experimental results on tensor asymmetries in two-body deuteron photodisintegration at the photon energy up to 500 MeV, and in coherent pion photoproduction on deuteron are presented. Plans to upgrade the facility and future experiments are discussed. Further progress is connected with the installation of a tagging system for almost-real photons. This would allow us to extend the measurements of polarization observables in photonuclear reactions on deuteron up to a photon energy of 1.5 GeV and permit to perform double polariz…
Gibbs-ensemble path-integral Monte Carlo simulations of a mixed quantum-classical fluid
1995
We study a model fluid with classical translational degrees of freedom and internal quantum states in two spatial dimensions. The path-integral Monte Carlo and the Gibbs-ensemble Monte Carlo techniques are combined to investigate the liquid-gas coexistence region in this mixed quantum-classical system. A comparison with the phase diagram obtained in the canonical ensemble is also presented.
HOW MONTE CARLO SIMULATIONS CAN CLARIFY COMPLEX PROBLEMS IN STATISTICAL PHYSICS
2001
Statistical mechanics of condensed matter systems in physics (fluids and solids) derives macroscopic equilibrium properties of these systems as averages computed from a Hamiltonian that describes the atomistic interactions in the system. While analytic methods for most problems involve uncontrolled approximations, Monte Carlo simulations allow numerically exact treatments, apart from statistical errors and from the systematic problem that finite systems are treated rather than the thermodynamic limit. However, this problem can be overcome by finite size scaling methods, and thus Monte Carlo methods have become a very powerful tool to study even complex phase transitions. Examples given wil…
