Negative S parameter from holographic technicolor.
2006
We present a new class of 5D models, Holographic Technicolor, which fulfills the basic requirements for a candidate of comprehensible 4D strong dynamics at the electroweak scale. It is the first Technicolor-like model able to provide a vanishing or even negative tree-level S parameter, avoiding any no-go theorem on its sign. The model is described in the large-N regime. S is therefore computable: possible corrections coming from boundary terms follow the 1/N suppression, and generation of fermion masses and the S parameter issue do split up. We investigate the model's 4D dual, probably walking Technicolor-like with a large anomalous dimension.
The Poisson Bracket Structure of the SL(2, R)/U(1) Gauged WZNW Model with Periodic Boundary Conditions
2000
The gauged SL(2, R)/U(1) Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model is classically an integrable conformal field theory. A second-order differential equation of the Gelfand-Dikii type defines the Poisson bracket structure of the theory. For periodic boundary conditions zero modes imply non-local Poisson brackets which, nevertheless, can be represented by canonical free fields.
High-precision studies of domain-wall properties in the 2D Gaussian Ising spin glass
2019
In two dimensions, short-range spin glasses order only at zero temperature, where efficient combinatorial optimization techniques can be used to study these systems with high precision. The use of large system sizes and high statistics in disorder averages allows for reliable finite-size extrapolations to the thermodynamic limit. Here, we use a recently introduced mapping of the Ising spin-glass ground-state problem to a minimum-weight perfect matching problem on a sparse auxiliary graph to study square-lattice samples of up to 10 000 × 10 000 spins. We propose a windowing technique that allows to extend this method, that is formally restricted to planar graphs, to the case of systems with …
Effective coefficients of thermoconductivity on some symmetric periodically perforated plane structures
1996
In this article we discuss an auxiliary problem which arises in the homogenization theory for the Laplacian on the plane with periodic array of square holes and homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions on those. Independently, this problem describes the process of thermoconductivity. We find the explicit formulas for effective coefficients of thermoconductivity (homogenized modula). We make also the asymptotic analysis of these formulas in the cases of big and small holes.
Combinatorial Models in the Topological Classification of Singularities of Mappings
2018
The topological classification of finitely determined map germs \(f:(\mathbb R^n,0)\rightarrow (\mathbb R^p,0)\) is discrete (by a theorem due to R. Thom), hence we want to obtain combinatorial models which codify all the topological information of the map germ f. According to Fukuda’s work, the topology of such germs is determined by the link, which is obtained by taking the intersection of the image of f with a small enough sphere centered at the origin. If \(f^{-1}(0)=\{0\}\), then the link is a topologically stable map \(\gamma :S^{n-1}\rightarrow S^{p-1}\) (or stable if (n, p) are nice dimensions) and f is topologically equivalent to the cone of \(\gamma \). When \(f^{-1}(0)\ne \{0\}\)…
Modelling uncertainties in phase-space boundary integral models of ray propagation
2020
Abstract A recently proposed phase-space boundary integral model for the stochastic propagation of ray densities is presented and, for the first time, explicit connections between this model and parametric uncertainties arising in the underlying physical model are derived. In particular, an asymptotic analysis for a weak noise perturbation of the propagation speed is used to derive expressions for the probability distribution of the phase-space boundary coordinates after transport along uncertain, and in general curved, ray trajectories. Furthermore, models are presented for incorporating geometric uncertainties in terms of both the location of an edge within a polygonal domain, as well as …
Observational Effects of Anomalous Boundary Layers in Relativistic Jets
2008
Recent theoretical work has pointed out that the transition layer between a jet an the medium surrounding it may be more complex than previously thought. Under physically realizable conditions, the transverse profile of the Lorentz factor in the boundary layer can be non-monotonic, displaying the absolute maximum where the flow is faster than at the jet spine, followed by an steep fall off. Likewise, the rest-mass density, reaches an absolute minimum (coincident with the maximum in Lorentz factor) and then grows until it reaches the external medium value. Such a behavior is in contrast to the standard monotonic decline of the Lorentz factor (from a maximum value at the jet central spine) an…
Parabolic equations with natural growth approximated by nonlocal equations
2017
In this paper we study several aspects related with solutions of nonlocal problems whose prototype is $$ u_t =\displaystyle \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} J(x-y) \big( u(y,t) -u(x,t) \big) \mathcal G\big( u(y,t) -u(x,t) \big) dy \qquad \mbox{ in } \, \Omega \times (0,T)\,, $$ being $ u (x,t)=0 \mbox{ in } (\mathbb{R}^N\setminus \Omega )\times (0,T)\,$ and $ u(x,0)=u_0 (x) \mbox{ in } \Omega$. We take, as the most important instance, $\mathcal G (s) \sim 1+ \frac{\mu}{2} \frac{s}{1+\mu^2 s^2 }$ with $\mu\in \mathbb{R}$ as well as $u_0 \in L^1 (\Omega)$, $J$ is a smooth symmetric function with compact support and $\Omega$ is either a bounded smooth subset of $\mathbb{R}^N$, with nonlocal Dirichlet bound…
Two-dimensional Helmholtz equation with zero Dirichlet boundary condition on a circle: Analytic results for boundary deformation, the transition disk…
2019
A deformation of a disk D of radius r is described as follows: Let two disks D1 and D2 have the same radius r, and let the distance between the two disk centers be 2a, 0 ≤ a ≤ r. The deformation transforms D into the intersection D1 ∩ D2. This deformation is parametrized by e = a/r. For e = 0, there is no deformation, and the deformation starts when e, starting from 0, increases, transforming the disk into a lens. Analytic results are obtained for the eigenvalues of Helmholtz equation with zero Dirichlet boundary condition to the lowest order in e for this deformation. These analytic results are obtained via a Hamiltonian method for solving the Helmholtz equation with zero Dirichlet boundar…
Determination of the origin and magnitude of logarithmic finite-size effects on interfacial tension: Role of interfacial fluctuations and domain brea…
2014
The ensemble-switch method for computing wall excess free energies of condensed matter is extended to estimate the interface free energies between coexisting phases very accurately. By this method, system geometries with linear dimensions $L$ parallel and $L_z$ perpendicular to the interface with various boundary conditions in the canonical or grandcanonical ensemble can be studied. Using two- and three-dimensional Ising models, the nature of the occurring logarithmic finite size corrections is studied. It is found crucial to include interfacial fluctuations due to "domain breathing".
