Polarised black holes in ABJM

We numerically construct asymptotically AdS(4) solutions to Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. These have a dipolar electrostatic potential turned on at the conformal boundary S-2 x R-t. We find two classes of geometries: AdS soliton solutions that encode th ...

Beyond Developable: Computational Design and Fabrication with Auxetic Materials

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz, Bailin Deng, Mina Konakovic Lukovic

We present a computational method for interactive 3D design and rationalization of surfaces via auxetic materials, i.e., flat flexible material that can stretch uniformly up to a certain extent. A key motivation for studying such material is that one can a ...

Weyl vs. conformal

Alexander Monin, Georgios Karananas

In this note we show that given a conformally invariant theory in flat space-time, it is not always possible to couple it to gravity in a Weyl invariant way. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. This is an open access article under the CC BY li ...

A Switched Oscillator Geometry Inspired by a Curvilinear Space-Part I: DC Considerations

We present a new technique for the design and test of coaxial switched oscillators (SWOs). In this paper (Part I of a two-part paper), we concentrate on the electrostatic design of coaxial SWOs. We introduce a new design for the electrodes, which have been ...

Constraints on perturbative RG flows in six dimensions

Lorenzo Vitale

When conformal field theories (CFTs) are perturbed by marginally relevant deformations, renormalization group (RG) flows ensue that can be studied with perturbative methods, at least as long as they remain close to the original CFT. In this work we study s ...

Dimerization transitions in spin-1 chains

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

We study spontaneous dimerization transitions in a Heisenberg spin-1 chain with additional next-nearest-neighbor and three-site interactions using extensive numerical simulations and a conformal field-theory analysis. We show that the transition can be sec ...

Nonstatistical UV Fragmentation of Gas-Phase Peptides Reveals Conformers and Their Structural Features

Vladimir Kopysov

Solving the 3D structure of a biomolecule requires recognition of its conformers and measurements of their individual structural identities, which can be compared with calculations. We employ the phenomenon of nonstatistical photofragmentation, detected by ...

IR-induced conformational isomerization of a helical peptide in a cold ion trap

Thomas Rizzo, Aleksandra Zabuga, Annette Svendsen, Caroline Seaiby

In this work we use laser-induced population transfer techniques to study the conformational isomerization of a helical peptide, Ac-Phe-(Ala)5-LysH+, in a cold ion trap. In one scheme, called IR-UV hole-filling spectroscopy, a single conformation is select ...

Superspace formulation of the local RG equation

Boaz Keren Zur

We present the superspace formulation of the local RG equation, a framework for the study of supersymmetric RG flows in which the constraints of holomorphy and R-symmetry are manifest. We derive the consistency conditions associated with super-Weyl symmetr ...

Variational Monte Carlo investigation of SU(N) Heisenberg chains

Frédéric Mila, Pierre Marcel Nataf, Jérôme Dufour

Motivated by recent experimental progress in the context of ultracold multicolor fermionic atoms in optical lattices, we have investigated the properties of the SU (N) Heisenberg chain with totally antisymmetric irreducible representations, the effective m ...
