R-current three-point functions in 4d N=1 superconformal theories

In 4d N = 1 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) the R-symmetry current, the stress-energy tensor, and the supersymmetry currents are grouped into a single object, the Ferrara-Zumino multiplet. In this work we study the most general form of three-point fu ...

Disordered skyrmion phase stabilized by magnetic frustration in a chiral magnet

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Jonathan White

Magnetic skyrmions are vortex-like topological spin textures often observed to form a triangular-lattice skyrmion crystal in structurally chiral magnets with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Recently, beta-Mn structure-type Co-Zn-Mn alloys were ident ...

Renormalization of Horava gravity

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino, Mario Herrero Valea

We prove perturbative renormalizability of projectable Horava gravity. The key element of the argument is the choice of a gauge which ensures the correct anisotropic scaling of the propagators and their uniform falloff at large frequencies and momenta. Thi ...

Spontaneous dimerization, critical lines, and short-range correlations in a frustrated spin-1 chain

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

We report on a detailed investigation of the spin-1 J1−J2−J3 Heisenberg model, a frustrated model with nearest-neighbor coupling J1, next-nearest neighbor coupling J2, and a three-site interaction J3[(Si−1⋅Si)(Si⋅Si+1)+H.c.] previously studied in [Phys. Re ...

Skyrmion dynamics under uniaxial anisotropy

Dirk Grundler

Broadband microwave spectroscopy has been performed on single-crystalline GaV4S8, which exhibits a complex magnetic phase diagram including cycloidal and Neel-type skyrmion lattice phases below 13 K. At small magnetic fields two collective modes with large ...

Prediction of phase ambiguity resolution based on signal intensity and geometry

Jan Skaloud

The goal of this contribution was to develop a reliable quality indicator reflecting the potential success of differential carrier phase ambiguity resolution for kinematic Global Positioning System (GPS). The indicator must be operable without any communic ...

A mean field model of dynamic and post-dynamic recrystallization predicting kinetics, grain size and flow stress

Roland Logé, Ke Huang

A physically-based two-site mean field model has been developed to describe the microstructural evolution due to recrystallization during and after deformation. The model has been applied to predict the recrystallized fraction, recrystallized grain size, a ...

Impact of axions on confinement in three and two dimensions

In this paper we discuss well-known three- and two-dimensional models with confinement, namely, the Polyakov compact electrodynamics in 3D and two-dimensional CP(N-1) sigma model, and reveal changes in the confining regimes of these models upon adding the ...

Ultraviolet completion without symmetry restoration

Solomon G Shamsuddin Osman Endlich

We show that it is not possible to UV complete certain low-energy effective theories with spontaneously broken spacetime symmetries by embedding them into linear sigma models, that is, by adding "radial" modes and restoring the broken symmetries. When such ...

Multipass forging of Inconel 718 in the delta-Supersolvus domain: Assessing and modeling microstructure evolution

Roland Logé

This work is focused on the evolution of the microstructure of Inconel 718 during multi-pass forging processes. During the forming process, the material is subjected to several physical phenomena such as work-hardening, recovery, recrystallization and grai ...
