Defect-free global minima in Thomson's problem of charges on a sphere.
Given unit points charges on the surface of a unit conducting sphere, what configuration of charges minimizes the Coulombic energy SigmaN i>(j=1)1/r(ij)? Due to an exponential rise in good local minima, finding global minima for this problem, or even approaches to do so has proven extremely difficult. For N=10(h2+hk+k2)+2 recent theoretical work based on elasticity theory, and subsequent numeri...
متن کاملTopological ZN+1 Charges on Fuzzy Sphere
We study the topological properties on fuzzy sphere. We show that the topological charge is only defined modulo N + 1, that is finite integer quotient ZN+1, where N is a cut-off spin of fuzzy sphere. This periodic structure on topological charges is shown based on the boson realizations of SU(2) algebra, Schwinger vs. Holstein-Primakoff. We argue that this result can have a natural K-theory int...
متن کاملTime scales for transitions between free-energy minima of a dense hard-sphere system.
Time scales associated with activated transitions between glassy metastable states of a free energy functional appropriate for a dense hard sphere system are calculated by using a new Monte Carlo method for the local density variables. In particular, we calculate the time the sytem, initially placed in a shallow glassy minimum of the free energy, spends in the neighborhood of this minimum befor...
متن کاملGenetic-algorithm energy minimization for point charges on a sphere.
We demonstrate that a new approach for optimizing atomic structures is very eeective for attacking the Thomson problem of nding the lowest energy connguration of N point charges on a unit sphere. Our approach uses a genetic algorithm, combined with a \cut and paste" scheme of mating , that eeciently explores the diierent low energy structures. 1 Not only have we reproduced the known results 2{5...
متن کاملA Remark on Topological Charges over the Fuzzy Sphere
We determine the Chern characters of two projective modules over the fuzzy sphere and calculate the corresponding topological charges (Chern numbers). These turn out to have corrections—compared to the commutative limit—induced by the noncommutative structure of the three coordinates.
