Spiky phases of smooth membranes. Implications for smooth strings
We point out a possible mechanism by which smooth surfaces can become spiky as the constant of curvature stiffness κ falls below a certain critical value. This happens either in a single first-order transition, or in a sequence of two Kosterlitz-Thouless-like transitions. There may also be additional phases in which the spikes form a hexagonal solid-like array or a disordered liquid-like struct...
متن کاملSmooth metrics for snapping strings.
We construct two possible metrics for abelian Higgs vortices with ends on black holes. We show how the detail of the vortex fields smooths out the nodal singularities which exist in the idealized metrics. A corollary is that apparently topologically stable strings might be able to split by black hole pair production. We estimate the rate per unit length by reference to related Ernst and C-metri...
متن کاملSpiky Strings and Spin Chains
We determine spectral curves for the known spiky string solutions in AdS space in the limit of large angular momentum. We also construct generic multi-spike solutions in this limit and compute the corresponding spectral data. The resulting spectral curves precisely match those of the classical spin chain describing the dual operators in one-loop gauge theory. Our results confirm the map between...
متن کاملSmooth biproximity spaces and P-smooth quasi-proximity spaces
The notion of smooth biproximity space where $delta_1,delta_2$ are gradation proximities defined by Ghanim et al. [10]. In this paper, we show every smooth biproximity space $(X,delta_1,delta_2)$ induces a supra smooth proximity space $delta_{12}$ finer than $delta_1$ and $delta_2$. We study the relationship between $(X,delta_{12})$ and the $FP^*$-separation axioms which had been introduced by...
متن کاملLarge strings of consecutive smooth integers
In this note we improve an algorithm from a recent paper by Bauer and Bennett for computing a function of Erdös that measures the minimal gap size f(k) in the sequence of integers at least one of whose prime factors exceeds k. This allows us to compute values of f(k) for larger k and obtain new values of f(k).
