Semiclassical S-matrix for black holes

We propose a semiclassical method to calculate S-matrix elements for two-stage gravitational transitions involving matter collapse into a black hole and evaporation of the latter. The method consistently incorporates back-reaction of the collapsing and emi ...

Quantum description of a rotating and vibrating molecule

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Sylvain Bréchet, François Reuse, Klaus Maschke

A rigorous quantum description of molecular dynamics with a particular emphasis on internal observables is developed accounting explicitly for kinetic couplings between nuclei and electrons. Rotational modes are treated in a genuinely quantum framework by ...

Semiclassical evidence of columnar order in the fully frustrated transverse-field Ising model on the square lattice

Frédéric Mila, Tommaso Coletta

We investigate the zero-temperature phase diagram of the fully frustrated transverse-field Ising model on the square lattice both in the classical limit and in the presence of quantum fluctuations. At the classical level (the limit of infinite spin S), we ...

Planck 2013 results. XXV. Searches for cosmic strings and other topological defects

Julien Lesgourgues, Jason Douglas McEwen, Fabio Finelli

Planck data have been used to provide stringent new constraints on cosmic strings and other defects. We describe forecasts of the CMB power spectrum induced by cosmic strings, calculating these from network models and simulations using line-of-sight Boltzm ...

Effect of C-face 4H-SiC(0001) deposition on thermopower of single and multilayer graphene in AA, AB and ABC stacking

Giovanni Pizzi

The Seebeck coefficient in multilayer graphene is investigated within the density-functional theory, using the semiclassical Boltzmann equations and interpolating the bands in a maximally-localized Wannier functions basis set. We compare various graphene s ...

Initial or final values for semiclassical evolutions in the Weyl–Wigner representation

David Eduardo Zambrano Ramirez

Initial value representations are constructed to avoid the search for trajectories that are only defined in semiclassical approximations by their boundary conditions. We show how to incorporate these procedures within the full Weyl representation, so that ...

Accelerating the calculation of time-resolved electronic spectra with the cellular dephasing representation

Jiri Vanicek, Miroslav Sulc

Dephasing representation of fidelity, also known as the phase averaging method, can be considered as a special case of Miller's linearized semiclassical initial value representation and belongs among the most efficient approximate semiclassical approaches ...

Evidence for Columnar Order in the Fully Frustrated Transverse Field Ising Model on the Square Lattice

Frédéric Mila, Tommaso Coletta, Sandro Wenzel

Using extensive classical and quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the ground-state phase diagram of the fully frustrated transverse field Ising model on the square lattice. We show that pure columnar order develops in the low-field phase above ...

A natural language for AdS/CFT correlators

We provide dramatic evidence that 'Mellin space' is the natural home for correlation functions in CFTs with weakly coupled bulk duals. In Mellin space, CFT correlators have poles corresponding to an OPE decomposition into 'left' and 'right' sub-correlators ...

Horava gravity versus thermodynamics: The black hole case

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Under broad assumptions, breaking of Lorentz invariance in gravitational theories leads to tension with unitarity because it allows for processes that apparently violate the second law of thermodynamics. The crucial ingredient of this argument is the exist ...
