Novel Phases and Old Puzzles in QED 3 and related models
نویسنده
چکیده
In this review we discuss novel phases (quantum critical points occurring only for T = 0) in (2+1)-dimensional Abelian gauge theories, which may serve as prototypes for studying the physics of nodal excitations in (underdoped) high temperature superconductors. We pay particular attention to describing the existence of novel phases related to the anomalous breaking of certain symmetries, including unconventional superconducting properties. Although some of the results are rather old, we present them here from a physical perspective not discussed previously in the literature. In this respect we also explore the (in)applicability of some non perturbative approaches on the existence of a critical number of fermion flavours for chiral symmetry breaking in our specific models, which is an issue closely related to the existence of the novel phases mentioned above.

Novel Atom-Type-Based Topological Descriptors for Simultaneous Prediction of Gas Chromatographic Retention Indices of Saturated Alcohols on Different Stationary Phases
In this work, novel atom-type-based topological indices, named AT indices, were presented as descriptors to encode structural information of a molecule at the atomic level. The descriptors were successfully used for simultaneous quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRR) modeling of saturated alcohols on different stationary phases (SE-30, OV-3, OV-7, OV-11, OV-17 and OV-25). At first...
متن کاملCipher text only attack on speech time scrambling systems using correction of audio spectrogram
Recently permutation multimedia ciphers were broken in a chosen-plaintext scenario. That attack models a very resourceful adversary which may not always be the case. To show insecurity of these ciphers, we present a cipher-text only attack on speech permutation ciphers. We show inherent redundancies of speech can pave the path for a successful cipher-text only attack. To that end, regularities ...
متن کاملA novel farm technology to quantify dairy cow cervix morphology: oestrus versus non-oestrus models
The objective was to quantify and compare cow cervical morphology on oestrus vs. non-oestrus daysusing a new farm technology. The cervical tissues were videotaped using a cervixscope involving newcamera equipment in four Holstein cows on multiple oestrus and non-oestrus days to score tissue morphology as altered by oestrus. The non-oestrous days were in diestrus phases. The videotaped records w...

One of the capital asset pricing models is CCAPM model that first time were presented by Breeden (1979). In the standard and the basic CCAPM establishes a linear relationship between consumption’s beta and excess return on assets but unfortunately, linear CCAPM made The Equity Premium Puzzle. After presenting puzzles like equity premium puzzle, adjustments were made in the CCAPM. For this...
متن کاملPhases of Antisymmetric Tensor Field Theories
We study the different phases of field theories of compact antisymmetric tensors of rank h − 1 in arbitrary space-time dimensions D = d + 1. Starting in a ‘Coulomb’ phase, topological defects of dimension d− h− 1 ((d− h− 1)-branes) may condense leading to a generalized ‘confinement’ phase. If the dual theory is also compact the model may also have a third, generalized ‘Higgs’ phase, driven by t...
